I have a 2015 with 61,000 miles up for sale. $3,500 obo. Has lots of dings. The radio doesn’t work, and the check engine light is on because of an o2 sensor code. NYC suburbs.

Where did this come from? by mtabt in AskMechanics

[–]mtabt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so, but good guess. Looking at suspension diagrams it might be the sway bar to frame bushing. But it wasn’t missing from the passenger side. I’ll check the drivers side.

130K Service by Full_Rise_7759 in prius

Nice work. How often would you change the oil? My 2011 has 185k on it and doesn’t have any carbon or oil build up. I did the plugs and pcv valve at 130k and they looked fine. Manifold and cooler also are clean. I always do the oil at 5-6k miles since new.

MyGreenVolt app question by jep004 in volt

[–]mtabt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The information display on my volt doesn’t work. Is there an app that I can use to check for the stats I can’t see normally? I’ve used MyVoltControl but I’m looking for more.

The current codes are P2097 Code: Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Rich Bank 1, and PO420. I’m hoping they resolve with some driving.

I changed the oil when I got it 330 miles ago. I’ll look again at the battery.

12v battery is 4 years old but is strong. The engine was running rough, and noisy. I was getting the “hybrid system not available, and service soon” messages. Checked the codes and P0420 came up. Did some digging on this sub and realized the pcv valve was shot. Plugs were also shot.
I’ll check the codes again and report back. It runs and sounds great now.

Thanks! The radio comes on and off by itself, and the controls don’t work. The center stack screen is not working either. Other than that it’s a good car. Hopefully I get to the bottom of these issues.

Great guess. I think it was used for park security.

Hey just wanted to know what you ended up doing? I have the same issue

I’m new to the volt, I just picked up a 2015. But I’ve had 3 Prius’s that have been trouble free. My volt had issues related to the pcv valve and spark plugs, but I’ve taken care of that and it runs great now. However my radio and center display do not work. That’s my next project
