    Help replacing a coolant pump

    Ok, so I got the pump replaced with one from ebay. Not sure how to test if it's working or not. Is it always on when the car is on? Will the "Check EV system" warning clear on its own?

    Repair shop recommendations for Orange County, CA?

    I'm in Huntington Beach and need to replace one of the coolant pumps that I can't handle on my own. Does anyone have a non-dealer repair shop they'd recommend for simple things like changing a water pump etc? The dealer wants 2k. Seems steep.

    Tesla Powertrain Diagnostics ("TPD") v1.1.46

    Coupla questions: Will this software and cable let you reset the "Check EV system" warning? You mention "Via TIS subscription and download ($25 for two days)," does that mean you need a subscription to use the software any time you want to use it?

    Help replacing a coolant pump

    Thanks for this. Are the fuses the hard to access ones under a nest of stuff that was mentioned in another thread or are these somewhere I can easily access to test/replace? In other words, where can I find that box with the fuses in your image " 1. Location of battery pump fuses...

    Help replacing a coolant pump

    Thanks, I'm going to search for someone locally that handles at least some EVs before maybe trying a shop that advertises hybrid servicing.

    Help replacing a coolant pump

    Tustin (California) Toyota Dealer's service department did the diagnosis. They didn't give much detail beyond what I posted in the other thread. If the fuse is accessible, I think that's something I could check with a meter. Not sure on the relay. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Help replacing a coolant pump

    Wow, thank you for all the detail and photos! Getting under the car isn't something I'm up for at this point. I'll probably try to find a local shop that's willing to tackle it.

    Help replacing a coolant pump

    Makes sense. Is the big plastic cover in the middle the panel you mean that should be removed? @alflash is the orange outline in my photo corresponding to the orange outline in your diagram or do I have the wrong thing identified? Thanks!

    Help replacing a coolant pump

    I don't know what I'm looking for at all. Are either of these what I'm looking for? And if so, do you know if either of these is the Number 1 pump? "Left" is pretty ambiguous depending on where you're standing, but "left pump" is what the dealer told me the error was.

    Help replacing a coolant pump

    I'm hoping to replace the "left" coolant pump as mentioned here and was wondering if anyone who's done it already could give me a few pointers or maybe answer a few questions. Do I need to take the plastic cover off of the center area under the hood to access things? I've seen pictures of the...

    Thank you! I'll give it a try.

    High Battery Temp Power Output and Max Speed Limitedd

    How involved was replacing the pump? Did you need to lift the car to access? I'm apparently in need of the "left" coolant pump and would consider doing it myself if it's not much more involved than say replacing brake pads on an ICE car.

    Check EV System warning came on today (frown)

    Well, the dealer says the left coolant pump is dead, replacement cost ~2000. Not sure if I'm up for that, but they said that if I don't do it, the main battery could be ruined.

    Check EV System warning came on today (frown)

    Thanks. I saw a post about a youtube video showing the steps to reset it. That didn't do it. The little yellow "!" triangle comes on also. Don't think it's the 12v, I replaced the 12v battery last year so I think I'm ok for another year hopefully! Guess I'll call the dealer.

    Check EV System warning came on today (frown)

    It was pouring rain this morning and I had to drive through some deep puddles, so I'm wondering if maybe that's what caused it. Car continued to run with no noticeable issues. Should I take it in? There's a Toyota Dealer that works on these (Tustin, CA, about a half hour from where I am), but...

    Who still owns a RAV4 EV?

    I'm in my fifth year of owning a 2014. It's been great. Range meter reads 86-95 depending on the temp and who knows what other factors. My commute is short so I only drive about 20 miles/day, but I can fit hundreds of boxes in it which I haul to the shipping depot daily for work. We charge it...

    Thanks! Will put together the cable and get in touch next time that warning comes on.

    Check EV System warning message

    Tony, is this something any hybrid/ev repair shop can do or only Toyota dealers? I changed my 12v battery and a few weeks after the "Check EV System" warning showed up. Battery disconnect didn't help.
