View 5 RepliesPrius C :: EV Light Does Not Come On Above ECO Meter For Sometimes Up To 30 Seconds
I've noticed that occasionally, especially in the mornings when its cooler, my EV light won't come on when I expect it to. I will be driving in the ECO part of the ... well I'm not actually sure what you call that gauge but you know what I'm talking about. Anyway I will feel the car go from ICE to EV and if I see the Car display on the touchscreen it will show all power coming from the battery but for some reason the EV light does not come on above the ECO meter for sometimes up to 30 seconds. This is not a big deal, I'm just curious if this is a common problem.

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 RepliesPrius (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 (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.
Prius (Gen 3) :: Engine Monitor Display Malfunction?
At a stoplight earlier today, my ICE was running though I thought it should have shut down. I checked the engine monitor display on the dash, and it didn't indicate that the ICE was on, even though it very obviously was. The same thing happened a bit later. My worries are: 1) there was clearly an error in what the dash display was showing, since the engine was on and it indicated that it wasn't, and 2) maybe the engine really should have shut down, but for some reason it didn't .

So I'm doing a 24hour test drive on a 2014 Prius Two that may be replacing my 2007 Prius Touring (aka Package 5) that has a failing hybrid battery and so far I'm happy. I miss having a backup camera and premium audio but at $17000 I don't want to pay any more. Right now I just have a simple question... how do I show the energy monitor on the dash (top screen)? I even downloaded the manual but when I press the Display button on the steering wheel the only thing I can get to is "SETTINGS 3.11.16". I went into settings but didn't find anything that stood out... so I'm lost already...
