Thanks guys. Both trucks (13 & 16) showing TPMS errors. The 13 is more recent and didn’t give any warning - no intermittent communication from the sensors, just went out.

Are the sensor part numbers for the 2013 the same as for a 2016?

Finally cleared on its own. 👌

Thanks guys. Code is P0441. Is this consistent with a loose gas cap instance?

2016, 130k miles Hey guys. Check engine light came on for my wife. Gas cap was clearly very loose. Does this code go away or do I need to clear it? Edit: no code, just CE light and “See Dealer” message

You're exactly right - a low spec 300 just doesn't cut it either. I'm keeping my 200s for the long haul.

My PDR guy told me about this film the other day when I was having a dent pulled. I'm gonna do it. I don't have time/patience for the drama of begging USAA for an OEM replacement and then trusting the installer to do it properly.

They shipped mine off the shelf in the radiator box and it arrived damaged with some kind of oil soaked in on one corner. No damage other than a couple of fins are contorted (not part of the oil soaked area), but nothing I can't fix myself. Still a bit disappointed. My last one was shipped in...

Interesting that it's showing a Check PCS warning. Given how well you take care of your vehicles, I'm assuming that this is after your ownership. Probably just needs the sensor behind the grill wiped down. Somebody here should snatch this up.

After a transmission exchange about a year ago in my 2016 and then having a radiator job done back in March, I drove the car for the first time in a while (this is my wife's car) and I noticed slight surging in RPMs during gear changes in the higher gears. After some counsel from a guy I trust...

I like it. My only two rules for my kids are, graduate college and don't get pregnant or impregate.

With an 11 year old and a soon to be 13 year old, my wife and I are starting to have this conversation. Current stable: 2013 200 Series 2016 200 Series 2016 Prius - we bought this when my wife started to commute 120 miles a day again. Thankfully that was short lived. Great little car that...
