    Thanks for removing the cap from the coolant so I could see actual movement!

    I personally like to see how and where you connect and why. Ecu vs connector etc. I’m willing to bet the majority does. Thanks for sharing

      OBD 2 port. Almost always under the driver’s lower legs
      With the exception of the first couple of years of Honda being in the center console.

      @@johnrpizzaguy what? I’m talking about the Scope. And obd2 is def not always under legs. On left side of dash door, or middle of console like Benz. But but I wasn’t talking about where to hook up a scan tool.

    Yeah, the pumps are the most common failure item in these, next is the battery harness which corrodes and terminals break and of course cells can go bad which can be replaced individually. Scan data is super helpful in these, for pumps and variations of .5 volts between cells can cause codes and the red triangle of death, so it doesn't take much.
    Nice work.

    I had the red triangle of death illuminate last year on my 2010 Toyota Prius. I determined it was the high-voltage battery. Not an overly difficult job, even for a DIY'er.

    Like your videos, learning a lot from watching them. But I am a shade tree mechanic. Just starting to learn the electrical side of the cars. All I have is a basic code reader, test light, and a couple of voltage testers. Can not afford the fancy gadgets you have. Do you have any pointers to help us small guys out.

    Will the pump work if the car is only in the ACC position, or does it have to be fully "ON"?

    At 6:15, scope is a window into the circuit, always preferable, I use both scope and meter simultaneous, my preference.

    Personally, I want and need to see where every test lead is attached and why.
    Not everyone who views these is in the choir.
    I don't own one of those vehicles. But if I did. I would want all the insight I could get.
    There are channels aimed directly at the pros.
    This channel is all-encompassing pros and someone in a jam looking for help. Not everyone is an automotive technician.

    NOPE, it's NOT the Red Triangle of Death. Officially it's the Master Warning Light that alerts us to possible problems in one or more systems. It could be low engine oil.

    I tested a four wire pump on a 2015 prius with power,ground,activation and feedback signal
    good power,ground and activation
    but bad feedback signal,this was causing the problem
    it was the same fault code low performance, which I find misleading regarding the real fault

      Hybrids have an electric water pump separate from the mechanical one on the engine for the hybrid system

    • @davidbaldwin2729
      @davidbaldwin2729 2 месяца назад +2

      this electric pump is pumping coolant to keep the electrical inverter cool. Prius's have two separate cooling systems with pink antifreeze, one for the engine and one for the inverter. The inverter generates heat so it needs to be kept cool.
