How to Put Your Toyota Prius Into Maintenance Mode in 60 Seconds.

A No Nonsense Prius Tutorial For People Who Like Efficiency.

To put your Toyota Prius Hybrid into maintenance mode, insert the key and press the Power button two times to put your Prius into Ready Mode.

Press the gas pedal to the floor two times, then press and hold the brake while you shift your car into Neutral.

Release the brake pedal and press the gas pedal to the floor two more times, then press and hold the brake while you shift your car back into Park.

Release the brake pedal and press the gas pedal to the floor two final times. You’ll see the word “Problem” appear at the top of the display.

Press and hold the brake, then press the Power button one final time to enter Maintenance Mode. A red car icon with an exclamation mark will appear in the top left of the display to signify that your Prius is in Maintenance Mode.

In Maintenance Mode, the gas motor in your Prius will run continuously so you can do things like bring the engine up to temperature for bleeding or burping air bubbles from the coolant system.

[Paul-wyvl]

Hey man thanks for the tutorial. Worked on the first attempt. Just did the spark plugs and topped off the engine oil. 😅

Beautiful simple straight to the point and successful thanks

[TreDogOfficial]

Thanks! I use this mode to power the interver which I use to carpet clean my interior

[WovenThorns]

Thanks! I can’t believe this exists and I never knew! I was hoping to charge my battery while parked, but it stops charging once hit hits half full. Either way, I just replaced my coolant pump and will see if I get more bubbles out after doing this.

[chrisrolland]

Can I use this to fully charge the battery?

Will my prius show the little car with the exclamation point on the dash? I have an aftermarket screen that doesnt show me any car stuff.

Maybe you have some advice
I just bought four new tires and four new sensors. I installed the sensors and the tires.
The tire light is still on.
I tried programming each sensor individually.
I tried programming the sensors as a set.
I tried copying the old sensors and applying the program or ID to the new sensors and unfortunately only two of them work.
I tried manually entering the ID to each sensor and the light is still on.
Occasionally it goes off for about a minute and then comes back on again.
Please advise.
PS these sensors are programmable and reprogrammable and have worked on many other cars with no issues which is why I chose these.

You have to press power 2 times with brake Not engaged. This is technically not "ready" mode as the video says. Confusing when he said ready mode.

Wish I had seen this before I did an engine flush. I left it in highest ac setting but when I came back 10 minutes later it was off. Probably didn’t do the greatest flush. Oh well know now!

Thanks. This also worked on a 2012 Toyota Prius. The 2010-2015 model years. Yhwshwa bless.

[johnbell]

a) my prius doesn't come with a key slot.
b) With all the touchscreen tech, they could not have come up with a simpler way to put the car in maintenance mode?

[emreyildirim]

[USCG.Brennan]
