dude! you made one of one of the best how to videos i have ever seen on youtube on any subject. just the right pace (not to fast or slow), it covered every single detail, great camera work, etc.
I have to change out my prius inverter soon and your video will make it relatively easy for me. many thanks for taking the time to make this excellent video.
Thanks! Here to help!!
How did you know it was the invertor?
Super simple tutorial. Just had my 2005 Prius inverter go out bout to swap it out, thank you so much this was so helpful!
Anytime!
How do i know my 09 prius need this, like what is the issues in the car
Amazing video man. Straight to the point. Thanks alot!!!
No problem!
"I know what im doing" *breaks clips immediately*
Tbh, it do be like that some days 😂😂
Solid, I'm a subscriber for sure!
Awesome!
I got an inverter from a salvage yard and didn’t notice the front connector was cut instead of being disconnected. Now that I’ve removed my inverter from the car is it worth disassembling the bottom of both to swap the connector or should I return the inverter to the salvage yard and ask for one with all the connectors?
If I just pull the plug at the hv battery, that’s enough to keep me from getting shocked?
Hi
Great video
I have a 08 prius. 230k miles. It stopped on the highway. Car had to be towed. Red triangle.
Code P0A90, P0A80. If car starts there is a clicking noise on driver side. It doesn’t go into gear.
Your thoughts plz
this is pretty simple. i'm about to attempt this. you'll get a subscription from me. this was to the point and efficient.
i notice you dont say anthing about the pump. is it SOP to change the pump when you change the inverter? i've read that pumps go out faster than inverters and often cause the inverter failure
Thanks brotha! But I wouldn’t change the pump until you see that it is a problem! If you look inside the inverter coolant tank and see the fluid circulating inside then that means the pump is working good!
Hi.
Great video, very helpful.
Would you happen to have a video for the install of the new inverter (with coolant flush/top off)? I know it'll just be the reverse order, but just wanted to see the full process.
Also do you ship to Colorado? I need to replace the inverter on my wife's car.
Yes I could possibly you need an inverter??
Very helpful! Helped me out a ton, thanks!
Best how to, thank you 💪🏼
Thank you
Great video! What would you say the problem is if when I try to start my Prius it only goes into accessory mode, the orange light in the start button goes on, it only switches between Park and Neutral, the triangle exclamation light is on but no other warning lights are on? I got it to start by disconnecting and reconnecting the 12V but I want to solve the issue.
What code is it throwing?
Great vid. Thanks!
No problem!
Thank you for a great tutorial. Why would an inverter need to be replaced? Usually when they overheat? Do inverters die slowly, or is it just all-or-nothing?
They typically go out all the sudden
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?
Good Morning. I have 09 toyota prius I would like to know 3-big orange & 3 or 4 small cable connection to inverter & how many black holes hookup inverter connection too
I'm calling from Houston TX hope to hear from you. Why I ask about remove the inverter so I can replaces the ABS module it keep running all the time & no power brakes some time ok
You want it shipped?
Hey bud! I need some help if you are available! I Have code P0A93 with the VSC light and I have changed the Inverter Pump and the Auxiliary Water Pump but I am not seeing any turbulence in the reservoir and the codes keep getting thrown when I reach speeds of over 50mph. Any ideas? I will pay you for your time.
If you aren’t getting any flow in the inverter reservoir then that means the inverter pump isn’t working. Weather it’s a fuse or a default pump
How do you replace the wire frame for the dc converter
Just one thing h could do is if you want to save time and mess buy large foam earplugs and use it to plug the reservoir outlet to keep the fluid from draining out.
What if you can’t unplug the grey ones behind inverter? Mine doesn’t come off, there’s connectors but they are crap and they only have on and on, how did you remove those? The little release mechanism doesn’t work
Get a little pick in there and pull the tab up and use a screw driver to pry the connector off
having a problem with code p0a09 had toyota diagnose and said it was a dc/dc converter malfunction and to replace inverter so i purchased a used one and having the exact same issue what else can it be or my next step
Maybe check all the fuses make sure none are blown
Nice video.
great video..i'm getting a "p0a94 dc/dc converter" code., won't go into ready mode or drive, new 12v battery, is it the inverter that's bad?
Inverter bad 12v won’t throw code
Hi brother thanks for the great video awesome job
I’m having an issue with my 2011 Prius gave me “check hybrid system” I upgraded the hybrid battery into lithium and engine working fine
for a short time the battery drained out and started decreasing speed while on freeway I pulled on the shoulder and gave me “check hybrid system” again could it be a failed inverter not helping to charge the hybrid battery?
Note: no codes for inverter failure
The 12v battery is good
Please thanks 🙏
It has a hybrid battery code tho?
@@carhub2178 after replacing the hybrid battery no codes for it
Hey bro . Can you please help my 2005 Toyota Prius won’t go into gear , it stuck in neural & every time I push the brake to change gear I would hear a clicking sound from the engine. Also I bought a brand new 12v battery . Can you please tell me what could be the issues? Thank
What code?
@@carhub2178 thank for the reply bro but my code reader couldn’t find no code/no issues ! All my dash light are on .
@@carhub2178 could the issue be my inverter is bad or my ecm ? I had got a code p3190 before , after I clean my mass air flow the code disappear
My 2005 Prius goes from P to N, when trying to go to D or R it clicks and goes to N .. the Triangle is on and both brake lights. Any idea what it could be ? Went through 3 inverters and a cooling pump so far. Any info is greatly appreciated 🙏🏼
Can you hear the hybrid battery make a tic tic when trying to start? If not have you looked into the hybrid batteries health or 12v battery
Make sure your orange plastic hybrid plug is clipped in properly. A lot of people forget to slide the handle down after pushing the plug in.
Do you know what part exactly in the inverter that goes bad?
I do not! Probably a electronic part inside it
Would this cure the P0A09 code?!?
How do you diagnose the inverter on a first generation Prius?
Look into sub codes. Will it start?
Do you sell parts? I'd like to find a low mileage dc inverter mine is failing for a 2007 prius
Yes we do!!
@@carhub2178what's the link?
I think he said it was a T -25 but my car was T-30. So if you are going to the store or rent parts then definitely get both so you don't end up goin to the store multiple times. And also the right windshield whipper had a 9/16 both if yall didn't know that either.
@@TT-lp8uc either way for me the T-30 worked way better
Great info, I may have to do an inverter. Just obtained a 2005 to go along with my other 2006. I just put a hybrid battery in and a new 12 volt. But I'm getting intermittent battery and red triangle light, but the car seems unaffected. I also have no codes. Wondering if it's the inverter
Have you checked the oil?
@@carhub2178 engine oil full and new
@@jasonc6962 it should have codes tho? When you connect a computer
@@carhub2178 atleast my app scanner doesn't see anything. It can clear them and has read codes from other issues. But it seems these codes I can't see. So I was wondering if the inverter is going out.
So I found P0A08. Which roughly translates to 12 volt charging circuit. So this car was a victim of reverse polarity jump start. Which pops a few fuses and unfortunately destroys connections on the 12volt charging circuit inside the inverter.
Hey! Great video. my 2005 prius all of a sudden won’t start. All the warning lights come on. Won’t go in drive or reverse and the engine doesn’t come on. The only code I seem to get is p3004 but I can’t seem to find a straight forward answer to what that means. I replaced the 12v within the last 2 years and I had a refurbished hybrid battery installed just a few days ago. Thought it may be the inverter. Any ideas?
Listen if you can hear the hybrid battery tic tic sound when trying to start
@@carhub2178 I do but sitting in the driver seat it’s hard to tell exactly where it’s coming from. I’m going to have my daughter try to start it while I am in back listening and let you know
@@carhub2178 yes about three or so somewhat rapid clicks or tics
@@carhub2178 and what is 24/7 prius chat? I saw it in one of your descriptions
@@carhub2178 what should I do next?
Very good
How to know if its bad or good?
How do you test the inverter to make sure it's bad before I replace it?
My inverter water pump went bad. I was stupid and drove it anyway, until EVERYTHING died. By everything, I mean the only thing that worked was my emergency flashers. The car would not even go into PARK.
The dealer ended up charging me $1600 to replace a fuse and the inverter pump and a couple of connectors. The car seems to drive OK, but my gas mileage is down by 10-15 MPG.
Hey thanks for becoming a member! And do you have an engine code on? And also when you open the coolant reservoir for the inverter can you see it circulating antifreeze?
@@carhub2178 There are no engine codes. The inverter pump is new, and I hear it running when I turn off the car. I'll check for coolant movement next time I drive it. One other thing I should mention, I used to get 2-4 cars every 5 minutes on the consumption screen. Now I'm lucky if I get 1. I think this explains my mileage loss, but I still don't know why.
@@carhub2178 yes, the coolant is circulating.
Can you help me with my 2007 Toyota Prius? I'm in Harbor City CA
What’s up
Can u replace a prius engine without taking the inverter out?
3rd gen you don’t have to take inverter out. I don’t remember on a 2nd gen, I think you do
Hey buddy Toyota said my electric motor is bad is this what they are talking about mines is an 08
When you replace the inverter on a 09 Prius, does the new one need to be programmed to the car? Or is it plug and play?
Plug and play!
@CarHub Thank you for your reply. Trying to limp home now but my tricks aren't clearing the triangle. I knew better. Lol
Good stuff man. I’m about to do mine and you saved me.
No problem!
@@carhub2178 hey man any chance you could give me advice? I would happily PayPal you some money for your time. My 2007 threw code p0a94 dc/dc inverter. The hybrid battery kept it running for a minute but the engine would not lock on anymore. Well I replaced it with a used but said to be tested and working eBay inverter and did everything careful double checking all of the connections. When I went to start it I jumped it off and bled the inverter pump first. Then when I start it it is like nothing has changed. I tried resetting it by disconnecting the 12v but same result. Engine won’t kick on and I can’t put it into gear. Any advice on what to check next?
I am paranoid that I bought a defective inverter but the seller had great reviews and sells these pretty often so I just don’t know.
@@carhub2178 sorry to bother you. After letting it sit several hours and jumping it off again the engine fired up and all of the warning lights went off. Fingers crossed. Thank you again for an awesome how to video.
P3004-131 code and p3000-124
I replaced and rebalanced the battery, replaced battery ecu next to it. I’m convinced my inverter is the issue. 2006 wont ready
I need inversor for 2005 toyota prius the price on the invertor
Junkyard
I had just bought this Prius and drove it home 10 miles with just about every light in the dash lit up like a Christmas tree. I changed the oil took pictures of the codes and sent it to my friend who owned a repair shop 20 miles away. He said “bring it in.”
I was doin 70mph On the freeway everything normal then out of nowhere the rpms started screaming high. ( I had it connected to my scan tool on live data setting to watch the coolant temp ( -stable at 170 degrees))
So the rpms doubled and it started speeding with my foot off the pedal. I actually had to keep my foot on the brake to stay under the speed limit.
That's when I pulled over and checked my scan tool for a new code.
I took screen shots both before the drive and while stopped, it only had the same codes as before.
I spent at least 20-30 minutes on the shoulder of the freeway with the car still in ready mode while also talking to a policeman who stopped to help, ( all this time depleting the traction battery because the motor was not cycling on)
When I started driving again it was in limp mode not going over 20 mph. It would only go short distances (less than 1 mile at a time) and then stop completely. It took me shutting it off and restarting 3 or 4 times to go another 3 or 4 miles at 20mph. About 2 miles before the next exit it stopped again. There were 2 more police there helping someone else. They asked me why I stopped. I explained how it was limping not going over 20 and only a few thousand feet at a time time. so we made a plan for the police to escort me across the merging on-ramp interstate junction and then off at the next exit in 2 miles. I told police to expect it wouldn't go over 20 but I kinda put the gas pedal to the metal to get across the merging on ramp and it went back into having screaming high rpm's and I had to keep my foot on the brakes again to stay below speed limit (especially now since I had a police escort behind me).
In 2 miles I took the exit as planned with my police escort, when I stopped at the first red light rpms were still screaming but then it went back into limp mode. Light turned green I limped another 1/2 mile at 10 mph before it stopped for good on the side of the frontage road.
Prius would not even turn on at this point.
The next day I brought a hybrid battery I had just finished rebuilding. I replaced it and it drove another 3 miles into a friends shop where it sat for months but they couldn’t help me other than to have the catalytic converter stolen from there.
So then I drove it back home 20 miles with a missing catalytic converter breaking every noise ordinance in a dozen cities in between with all of these same problems repeated including battery gave out again, it turned out to be another 2 day trip d/t needing replaced the traction battery again along the way.
Finally on return trip day 2 with rpms screaming and the noise amplified by 1,000 d/t the missing cat converter, I pulled back into my driveway and parked it.
That’s crazy! Need help fixing it?
@@carhub2178 I already have spare inverters that I could swap out with the help of this video. I'm just not sure if these symptoms are indicating that an inverter swap would fix it
"Hung, like me" yeah, lol, I heard that! Great video though.

Hell yeah
I n need a inburter for 2005toyota Prius water the price send mi sam info I need to bay one
Where you live
hey bud thx for a great video! Got a major problem, just installed 2 nd transmission and i am getting a major slip when accelerating , no codes , I am stumped ! Any help would be appreciated, Thx!
Have you checked the atf fluid. And it is pretty rare for a Prius transmission to go out
All I took off on my 2007 was the headlight and it was behind there
For the inverter? You don’t have to take the headlight out
could a bad inverter cause no ac to work?
No have you tried the compressor?
im not receiving voltage to the compressor. all fuses is good. i was told is the wiring in the inverter. i bought one of eBay and i might attempt to replace it.
yes the inverter / convertor / charger has a board within it that feeds direct three phase electric supply to ac compressor
Update, change the inverter very simple thanks to this video. If you could make one replacing ac compressor i would appreciate it. I got voltage to compressor but the harness to compressor doesn't match the new inverter.
Got any for sale?
Yes a bunch!
How much do you sell them for??

So, could you tell me what the symptoms look like with a bad inverter. Currently my Prius will run fine for a while and suddenly the engine will start running about 3000 rpm constantly and I lose all power. I had two codes one was for an inverter and the other was for a coolant control valve. I fixed the coolant control valve so I’m assuming my problem is the inverter. And by the way, you wanna talk about road rage? I stop at the red light and it takes me forever just to get to 20mph. People MF me! I just laugh and record them with my phone. 😂
Inverters hardly ever go bad. If you want to check and see if your inverter pump is working then open up the inverter coolant reservoir and make sure you can see the coolant circulating and if it is then your pump is good. Also when your car dies check on the center display and on the top left it will show an overheating symbol
Chad I have the exact same problem, I wish he knew the answer or he would assess it better.
I have 2 spare inverters and I might just throw one in to see if that fixes it.
Let me know what you found out.
