Side Tangents: Gen 1 Toyota Prius Resurrection
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Why? Idk! I bought this Prius with a ABS system issue just to find out that sitting for a few years hadn't done her any favors. Mouse damage, corroded battery connections, and several other unexpected side items made this adventure go from a few loose weekends to a multi month hell of work to get it back on the road! Starring a guest appearance by multiple LLVs!

It was fun watching you create this vid. Still can't believe we missed an errant zipper being down...
Monty is so cute!

Much braver than I am to take on resurrecting a hybrid, nicely done!

I weirdly enjoy working on these cars, something about the familiarity of Toyota combined with 'high voltage' electronics 😁
I have a 2002, the ABS system is not just ABS, it is a fiendishly complex semi-brake-by-wire system. If the pump goes, you have very limited brakes.

No rears at all and a whole lot of assist-less slop in the front as it runs in it's manual failsafe. It's a bit of a wild system design, reading the pile of engineering books I have on it was a lot of fun
Nice to see a new video, even if not on the Postal Van. 👍👍

Air conditioning? That car is too rich for my blood.

The air conditioning system on this generation Prius is actually pretty neat, there is a thermal-storage evaporator core that keeps blowing cold air when the combustion engine cuts off at a stop or when the compressor clutch disengages. I have a 2002 and I'm not sure that is working, the AC blows WARM when the clutch disengages or the engine shuts off.
Are those new busbars copper?

I ended up wondering the same thing. I ended up cutting the footage but it had come with an extra one, so I bent and cut that one up and it was infact nickel plated copper as they advertised.
