Re: Prius Gen3 Inverter Hacking

I am going to be adding temperature monitoring of the generator winding's, because at present they don't have that.

i put the sensor inside high temp spaghetti, and tied it to the original winding's, then coated it with a special winding's varnish.

Re: Lexus Inverter Hacking

The Toyota Camry Hybrid AVV50R aluminum die-cast frame holding the top PCB is stamped with 035A not 035B as per is300h inverter. But i can't see any differences at all between the two.

Re: Prius Gen3 Inverter Hacking

On page22-38 of the Prius Repair manual above, there is a discussion of shims that touch the motor MG.

I went to the Toyota dealer, showed him the page in the manual and said i would like to buy three ...

Re: Prius Gen3 Inverter Hacking

I am from Down Under, where the sky is blue most of the time. Here it is challenging to get hold of Lexus bits and pieces, but quite straight forward to get hold of Prius or Camry Hybrid parts, especially since taxi drivers like them so much. In fact i have an AVV50R yellow taxi parked on my front l...

Re: Prius Gen3 Inverter Hacking

Jack, I understand from the video, that part you showed is called a shim according to the manual, it goes underneath the sprocket driven and counter drive gear (pg 22-22 of the Toyota Repair Manual 2004. Volume 2-3.0).
