I suggest to anyone that owns a 2nd gen Prius. just buy this part and keep it in the car along with the tools to fix it incase you are far somewhere. As i write this i just got this code and im 3 hours away feom home. This is the second prius 09 i own and the first time i was stranded far from home until autozone opened in the morning. But if you have it, you could change it right away and keep moving.

I pulled a code on my 2015 Prius that's associated with a water pump failure. All the internet searches kept pointing to the engine water pump, but now I'm thinking it's the inverter water pump. Thanks for posting!

248,000 miles on factory pump in '08 Prius. Will be doing this asap. Watched another video and they didn't remove the headlight at all, just loosened 2 inverter bolts and lifted up corner for clearance.

I started doing it that method and quickly realized it was much tighter than anticipated and backtracked. Good luck on yours!
I just had this code popped up. Would this make my AC stop blowing cold as will? That’s what happened in my case. While driving, the code popped up and compressor seemed to stopped. Fan is still blowing air but no ac.

I don't remember that the pump was "rattling", but I could hear it whirring. If you watch at the very end of the video you can hear what the faulty pump sounded like on the bench. The new one was certainly not nearly as noisy.

Last week I brought my 2008 prius gen 2 with 141k miles (I bought it last year for 7500 usd from an old couple) to the Toyota dealer in The Netherlands. A big red triangle on the dash with the car and exclamation sign on the touchscreen came up. It said there was something wrong with the hybrid package. The dealer did some reading on the car, and they told me the dc converter did not convert well so the risk of getting a short circuit in the hybrid system is pretty high. They told that the dc converter cost without taxes about 3000 USD, with labour cost it will cost around 5000 to 6000 USD in total. However, they said that when you replace the dc converter it is still not problem free. Other problems that are connected to the dc converter or hybrid system might occur. Is this true? Or is this a protocol of the dealer to communicate such things? They offered me to sell the car to them for 2000 USD. Should I keep and fix it elsewhere or sell the car?
@shanesgettinghandy
7 ай бұрын
I would highly recommend getting a second opinion. Find another shop nearby and see what they have to say about it. The dealer isn’t always the best option. Let’s say a second shop finds the same thing, they might happily source a used hybrid drive for far less cost. Or maybe the dealers assessment isn’t even correct to begin with. Hard to say. Good luck!
