There is no coolant meter! There is only an icon that appears if I'm already over heating.
Kind of a bummer, I would like to monitor this manually but maybe it's not necessary.

View 4 RepliesBuick - Parkavenue :: 1995 - Red Light On Beside Voltage Meter Comes On Intermittently
Most cars have either an idiot light or a volt meter. This 1995 Buick Park Avenue has both in the same pod. The customer complains that the red light comes on intermittently, but the voltage continues to read just above 13 volts. Sometimes it's dim or flickering, others it's bright. It seems to be more prevalent when the headlights are off, rather than when it is under a heavier load with them or the A/C on. I have not had an opportunity to see the car. It has not failed to start.

I just had my 2007 Prius serviced. After the service, my car broke down within 10km of the shop. The shop determined that the air flow meter had malfunctioned and wants to charge me about $500 to replace the part. Could the air flow meter have been damaged when the vehicle was being serviced? Specifically, when the air filter was removed and inspected during the servicing. It seems plausible that shop did something to cause the problem.
View 7 RepliesMalibu - Chevrolet :: Gas Meter Drop From Full To Empty With Light Coming On Then Reset Itself
I have a Chevy 2006 Malibu LT V6 and when i first got the car a year ago I had no problems. After a few months, I would fill up the tank up completely and then drive it around and stop at a stop light. The gas meter would drop from Full to Empty with the light coming on then reset itself. It happened sparingly so I thought nothing of it. Now just a few days ago I filled the tank up and now the gauge is staying at Full when I know for a fact that I do not have a full tank. Whenever I turn on the car, the gas gauge needle jumps from full to empty to half to full to quarter until ending at full. Lately, I've been trying to go off the fuel mileage on my radio but with that resetting to what my fuel gauge says I'm getting fearful of running out of gas.
View 10 RepliesPrius (Gen 1) :: Brake Warning Light Comes On For 15 Seconds Or So
I have recently had an issue with the brake warning light coming for 15 seconds or so after navigating a freeway cloverleaf etc. It doesn't come on under any other circumstances. Of course, this sounds like a low brake fluid issue (fluid moves to one side of the reservoir in the corner, causing the sensor to report the fluid is low). However, I have checked the fluid level in the reservoir, and it is very near the full line. I see no external evidence of leakage anywhere (not surprising since the fluid level in the reservoir isn't low), and the brakes work exactly as they always have.
I know the brake light can indicate problems with the traction battery (brand new, in my case), but that doesn't seem to be likely considering the consistently intermittent nature of the warning light illumination. Does the brake warning light monitor anything else other than certain traction battery issues, brake fluid level, and the parking light being on? Is the sensor for the brake fluid level a simple float like I have seen on other vehicles?
Prius (Gen 2) :: Combination Meter Failed - C1300 / C1253 And P0456 Appeared
My 2005 Prius with 159,000 miles is a daily driver on a 100 mile round trip commute. Since last year, the Prius only does the commute as I now have a delivery vehicle. The car has been mostly trouble free with the exception of hub/bearing replacements, the left drive axle, and routine maintenance. The combination meter fails intermittently in all temperature ranges and is not limited to only cold weather.
Last week the combination meter failed again as I was leaving to replace a HID headlight in a buddy's 05 Prius. The return trip home was the same. Powered the car off and on three times with no change. The next morning, all was back to normal but the engine warning light remained on. This had never happened in the past.
After a week, I brought it down to get the trouble codes read with the OBD II. Results;
C1300: Malfunction in engine control unit caliper front 1
C1253: Hydroboost pump motor relay malfunction caliper front 3
P0456:Evaporative emission control system pressure leak detected - small leak.
I am replacing the coil springs and struts as the left rear coil has recently broken. The plugs and PCV valve have never been changed. I worry that at this point, the threads may very rusted and difficult to remove.
Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 - Combo Meter Malfunctioning - The Car Didn't Want To Shut Off Twice
We've got a 2005 with 110K miles on it and recently the Combo Meter malf'd -- in the space of a couple days, the car didn't want to shut off twice, and once at start-up the instrument panel didn't light up. Since then it has run just fine. Took it to the dealer and they want to replace the combo meter. We never got the "Warranty Enhancement" notice (which has, of course, expired).

We have owned our Prius since 2011, with no problems, other than the need to replace the 12 volt battery this past fall. Recently the dashboard display was totally dark. Nothing showed- altho the car would run. But then- it wouldn't stop. We called the local dealer who ran thru several options- and finally the car turned off after holding the power button for several seconds. We took it in- and were told it was the KAAR security system, which should be removed. We had that done.
View 5 RepliesPrius (2001-03) :: Brake / ABS Light And Buzzer Come On For 5 To 10 Seconds Then Go Off
I'm also having an issue with these lights/buzzer on my 2002 since last weekend. Probably about one in every five starts, the brake/ABS warning lights/buzzer come on for around five to ten seconds and then go off. Braking appears to be fine. I'm thinking the brake system is taking too long to pressurize on starting. The car has run fine and brakes have worked fine after this has happened. Brake fluid level is fine. Do these warning lights/buzzer usually stay on, with an issue, or is this intermittent lights upon starting how it normally shows a problem? And yes, I am going to see about finally ordering a mini VCI and also read the blink codes. Dealer is 50 miles from home so I'm trying to figure out what is going on prior to heading that way, as I don't want to have an issue on the drive there.

View 11 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Combination Meter Failure And Loss Of Brakes / Power Steering
Faulty combination meters on the Toyota Prius. Loss of braking and power steering on the vehicle? This has happened to me 4 of the 100+ times my dash lights were not working. On those 4 occasions I was driving without the dash lights and all of the warning lights came on and the car lost power steering and the ABS braking and I had to use the emergency brake to stop. Fortunately when this has happened I have not been on the highway and there was no snow or it could have been very dangerous.
This issue has only happened when there is a malfunction with the combination meter. I understand this can create many issues within the vehicle including braking difficulties. The response of the Manager at my local Toyota shop said "well, at least you have brakes, you just won't have them in an emergency stop." Wow! I've read accounts of people going 65 mph and losing brakes when this has happened which could be very deadly.
I'm surprised at Toyota's response with this possibly deadly issue. I'm also surprised that the Combination Meter Failure has not be recalled because based off what I have read about 3% of Prius owners have experienced issues with this and the braking system. At what point does a "warranty" become a "recall"? Please note that this issue is separate from the "accelerator recall".
Prius (2004-09) :: 2008 Gen II - ODO Meter Stuck / Does Not Record Or Show Increase In Mileage
I have recently noticed that the ODO meter of the car does not work i.e. it is stuck at the reading (57735 km) it was on when I got the car and does not record/show the increase in mileage. the trip A and B are working perfectly fine. I took the car to the local Toyota dealer but he has no clue what is wrong with it, the guy there suggested that ECU is working fine but the ODO meter is damaged and needs replacement.
I am not sure what the guy at the dealership suggested is correct because what i think is that if ODO gets damaged then the whole speedo meter should mal function.
Windstar :: 2002 Ford - Meter Shows That Battery Giving Out Enough Volts But Check Engine Light On
2002 Ford Windstar: Whenever I disconnect the battery and then reconnect it, I get this hum that sounds like the CD player preparing to play a CD. There is no CD in the player. It last for about 30 seconds and then stops. Afterwards, my check engine light comes on and stay on until I have the mechanic reset the alarm. The battery is new. My meter shows that the battery is giving out enough volts. It annoys me to have the check engine light on all of the time. I'd rather it be off so it can report if something else goes wrong with the engine.
View 1 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Fast Beeps For 2 To 5 Seconds And Solid Dash Light Comes On While Driving
A 2010 Prius III: Its been a few days now that its doing this.
While I'm driving, the car would start to beep fast (3-4 beeps per sec), the brake and steering wheel stops working, its very stiff and brake pedal is hard! Along with that, there's 4 lights came on the dash; traction control, abs, brake and tire pressure. All this happens when the car starts to beep, and the beep last anywhere from 2-5 second, constantly!
I checked everything and its normal, gas half tank, keyless key is in my pocket, all doors closed, brake pads looks good, tires are good. I've had this car for 4 years, its at 45k miles.
