My 2001 Prius is having serious problems and the Prius Master Tech at my local dealer is unable to figure it out.
Six times since November 27, 2002, I get in my car, turn the key, and immediately the following indicators illuminate
About 10 seconds later, the gas engine stops. The first time I stopped and restarted the car and drove the car to the dealer (although the engine ran very rough). The indicators cleared themselves before the tech could finish his diagnostics.
The second time, my wife restarted the car and everything was fine.
The next four times, the car would not reset itself and had to be towed to the dealer for service.
I don't specifics yet, but I know that two ECUs have been replaced as well as the fuel tank assembly.
At this time, the tech is at a loss in figuring out what is wrong. I am wondering if anyone here has some suggestions to bring to the tech? I will also try to get more specific details in response to your questions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers ... Michael Wilson
