Prius C :: Can't Switch Back From Miles To Kilometers
I accidentally switched my C from miles to kilometers and for the life of couldn't figure out how to switch it back. Since I was resetting the trip odometer when this happened I thought it might have something to do with the trip odometer settings. I was correct. If you hold the trip odometer button down it will switch. Fortunately it switches back the same way.

View 19 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Brake Lock-up After Switching On
Earlier this year I did a very hard stop to avoid an accident. The stop caused the brake lights to be locked on, such was the force I applied in my 2011 car. Toyota replace the brake light switch, but since then there has been an intermittent issue that has been impossible to invoke and continues despite the brake booster having been replaced (after I made a fuss and complained to Toyota HQ).
It most often happened after I'd been driving then left the car parked for 10 minutes to an hour with the power off. I'd get in the car, depress the brake pedal and press the power button. When I did so, the brakes would become rock hard and, if the car was put into drive, would roll forward. The only way to stop the car would be to take my foot off the brakes and re-apply them.
Prius Prime Plug-in 2017 :: Switching Out Of HV Mode?
Many of us HATE the fact that if the accelerator is unintentionally pressed too hard, putting the Plug-in into the Power range and thus HV mode, it stays in the HV mode wasting gas until the engine heats up.
Some of us at the next light, will power off the car, and then Restart it, to get it out of HV and back to EV.
We've asked for a way to get it out of this "Accidental HV mode". Can the Prime be switched out of "Accidental HV mode"?
Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Switching Back To EV During HV Warm Up
Obviously this doesn't work if you are out of EV? I figure I am essentially still in EV during the warmup cycle so I'd prefer to have that HSI up instead of the HV one.

I had my brand new plug in prius for 6 whole days before my house was hit by lightening, while the car was charging. The car has been in the shop for 3 weeks since that has happened and they eventually replaced the "electric vehicle recharge unit". But it still doesn't seem right to me. one of the things that is happening is that the EV switch is not operating while I'm driving.
For instance: I'm driving locally on EV and then get on the highway and when I get to the point that the engine kicks on, I hit the EV switch to turn it off and move to hybrid mode. However, even though the EV light is off, the battery continues to discharge and will eventually completely discharge. To prevent this I do a number of maneuvers like hit the brakes repeatedly or hit every button the dash (EV, ECO) until it stops!
This cannot be normal but then again I only drove the car for 6 days before lightening struck. It also happens the other way. If I'm driving on the highway and get off and then hit the EV switch to turn the electric back on, the electric motor doesn't kick in.Am I imagining this? Is there some fancy way to switch EV and back on the fly?
Prius (2010-12) :: Master Warning Sign Lit Up When Switching The Car Off
I got a 2010 Prius. I noticed that when I turn the car OFF , the master warning sign (yellow triangle with an exclamation mark) and a message in Japanese (which I cannot read) appear for a few seconds. I don't see the warning when switching the car ON, or while driving. I experienced this frequently when switching the power OFF. Why this happens?
View 3 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Red Triangle Icon - Car Not Switching To Gas Engine
Today, I was driving on the street when I got the dreaded red triangle icon and the word "problem" appeared across the top of the MFD screen. I then noticed the bars on the battery screen kept lowering down to where they became purple when stopped with the transmission in D. The engine would usually start up at this point, but it didn't. I put it in B and gave it a bit of gas to force it to start up. Once I started driving again, the bars went back up, but it has happened two more times (every time the battery depletes to purple).
View 7 RepliesPrius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Keeps On Switching Out Of EV Mode Before Charge Is Used Up?
I just purchased a '12 PIP advanced a couple days ago. Love it so far, but I'm confused about why it keeps on switching out of EV mode before the charge is used up. My commute is 6 miles, so I assumed that I would be able to get to my office with no problem, using only electric. Without accelerating quickly or going above 62 mph, the car still switches into hybrid mode numerous times, for no apparent reason, resulting in an average of about 90 mpg by the time I get to work, still with a lot of juice left in the battery.
Why this is happening? My dreams of going for months without filling up with gas are starting to fade away.
Prius V :: Misfire / Shaking At Cruising Speed Or Low RPM - Switching Between ICE And Electric
I bought my 2012 Prius v with 99,000 miles. It started running rough at around 110,000. Time for new spark plugs.
I installed new OEM plugs. Still rough. New ignition coils, Still rough. My car was shaking & jerking at any cruising speed, fast or slow. It seemed to have trouble switching between the ICE (engine) and electric motor. It made a continuous click click click noise at slow speeds. I would get up to speed and let off the gas a little and it would start going chug, chug, chug until I gave more gas. I hated driving my car. The shaking was giving me a headache. I investigated every posibility; Motor mounts, ECU, trans, changed the trans fluid, cleaned the EGR tube, CV shafts, torque limiter, VVT, sluging, tried fuel injector cleaner. I took it to the dealer. They said there was a misfire on #4 cylinder. I told them the ignition was all new but the #4 spark plug was discolored when I replaced it the second time. The mechanic said "That's it! It must be the fuel injector!" New injector installed, $488, still ran rough, still the chug chug chug and click click click. A few days ago, it ran so bad and so weak, it used up all the battery power and could barely stay running. I stopped for gas. I thought " maybe it's the EGR. I should just unplug it." BINGO !! It runs great !!!!! Smooth !!!!!! Better gas mileage. No chugging! No clicking!

View 12 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Squeaky Moaning Noise Coming From AC Unit When Switching It On Or Off
I bought a 2005 Prius base model with under 77K mi. A month after owning it, and about the time the weather got hot enough to need AC, I started hearing a squeaky moan (ish) noise coming from the ac unit when switching it on or off.
I took it in to the Nissan dealership and they listened and ID'd the noise as the "blender", and told me it was nothing to be concerned about (I do not believe that) and it's just a normal blender noise for an 11 year old car.
I think they didn't want to deal with it at all. (not that I'd want to spend the money, either, because so far the AC is working fine, but I can't shake the concept that it shouldn't be making that sort of noise at all (it wasn't there when I bought it) . I think it IS something that will lead to needing some sort of repair. Should I bring it somewhere else once my warranty is up?
What I am talking about? Should I be worried about this sound? (which seems to be getting ever so slightly louder each time).
