A range of features for comfort - the more you use them,
the better they get.
Multi-Information Display

The 5.8º wide touch panel type multi-information color LCD
is standard.

Energy monitor, fuel consumption and other vehicle information
screens, audio operation status and audio operation screen can
be indicated on the multi-information display. The outside tem-
perature are also indicated on the screen.
[Audio system]

An AM/FM cassette and 4-speaker system compatible with the
multi-information display has been adopted.

As the touch panel type display is used to operate the audio sys-
tem, the multi-information display simultaneously indicates the
operating status of the audio system.

The antenna provided is a collapsible style pole antenna posi-
tioned at the center of the roof.
[GPS Voice Navigation]

A GPS (Global Positioning System) voice navigation system
is optional.

The multi-information display can show the map on favorite
type among turn list, arrow display and enlarged intersection.

Using DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) as a memory source for map
data, a large quantity of information can be processed.

5. Chain Tensioner
The chain tensioner uses a spring and oil pres-
sure to maintain proper chain tension at all
times.
The chain tensioner suppresses noise generated
by the chain.
A ratchet type half-back mechanism is used.
6. Timing Chain Cover
A single-piece, aluminum die-cast timing chain cover that entirely seals the front portion of the cylinder
block and the cylinder head has been adopted.
A service hole for the chain tensioner has been provided in the timing chain cover to improve serviceabili-
ty.

Fail Safe
If an abnormal condition occurs with the ETCS-i, the check engine warning light in the combination meter
illuminates to alert the driver. The current to the throttle control motor is cut off to prevent the ETCS-i from
operating. This enables the return spring to close the throttle valve.
Diagnosis
If the diagnostic trouble code 89 is being output to the combination meter check engine warning light, it
means that the ECM has detected a malfunction in the ETCS-i, and outputs the diagnostic trouble code of
the ETCS-i.
Also, the diagnostic trouble code can be output to a hand-held tester via the data link connector 3.
For details, refer to the 2001 Prius Repair Manual (Pub. No.RM778U).

ENGINE ± 1NZ-FXE ENGINE 78
Operation
Initially, the VSV (for canister closed valve) is closed, and the VSV (for EVAP) is open, enabling the VSV
(for purge flow switching valve) to keep the passage between the charcoal canister and the purge line open.
This causes a vacuum to be applied to the purge line, evaporator line, recirculation line, and the line from
the charcoal canister to the fuel tank.
Next, the VSV (for EVAP) is closed in order to maintain a vacuum from the VSV (for EVAP) to the inside
of the fuel tank. Then, any subsequent changes in the pressure are monitored by the vapor pressure sensor
in order to check for evaporative emission leaks.
Next, the VSV (for canister closed valve) and the VSV (for EVAP) open, enabling the VSV (for purge flow
switching valve) to keep the passage between the fuel tank and the purge line open. Then, the air in the fuel
tank is drawn in by the vacuum of the intake chamber, and the density of HC in the exhaust gases is measured
by the oxygen sensor to detect any leaks.
If a leak is detected, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates to inform the driver. Also, the diag-
nostic trouble code (DTC) can be accessed through the use of a hand-held tester.
For details on the DTCs, refer to the 2001 Prius Repair Manual (Pub. No.RM778U).
10. HV Immobiliser System
The HV immobiliser system has been designed to prevent the vehicle from being stolen. This system uses
a HV ECU that stores the ID code of the authorized ignition key. If an attempt is made to start the HV system
using an unauthorized key, the HV ECU prohibit fuel delivery, ignition, and starting the HD system effective-
ly disabling the engine.
For details see page 184 in the HV Immobiliser System section.
11. Diagnosis System
The diagnostic trouble codes can be output via DLC3 to an OBD-II scan tool or a hand-held tester. For details,
refer to the 2001 Prius Repair Manual (Pub. No.RM778U).

1. READY lightTurns on when the ignition switch is turned to START to indicate that the ve-
hicle is ready to drive.
2. Output control
warning lightTurns on when the remaining HV battery charge becomes insufficient at R
range or when there is an abnormal temperature rise in the HV battery due
to continuous driving under heavy loads. It may also light when the HV bat-
tery temperature is low (after starting at low temperatures). The hybrid sys-
tem output is limited while this light is on.
Travel at reduced speeds (avoid sudden acceleration) while the light is lit.
3. Master warning
lightTurns on with buzzer sounding by linked operation with warning lights ª6º
to ª8º on the multi center display.
4. Malfunction

5. Discharge warning
lightTurns on when there is a malfunction in the 12 V charging system (converter
assembly).
If it turns on together with the master warning light and hybrid system
warning light, check the diagnostic code.
6. EMPS malfunction
warning lightTurns on when there is a malfunction in the EMPS control system.
7. HV battery warning
lightTurns on when the HV battery is discharged to the lower limit.

2) Information Screen
The information screen provides two types of indications: the energy monitor screen indication that dis-
plays the present energy flow of the hybrid system, and the fuel consumption screen indication that dis-
plays the average fuel consumption rate, the amount of regenerative energy, and the instantaneous fuel
consumption rate.
a. Energy Monitor Screen Indication
This screen indicates the energy transmis-
sion direction for checking the current drive
method (engine, motor or both), the power
generation status by the engine and status of
regenerative energy use.
b. Fuel Consumption Screen Indication
This screen indicates the average fuel con-
sumption, recovered energy and the current
fuel consumption, all at once.
The average fuel consumption is calculated
using 5-minute units. The recovered energy
over the past 5 minutes is indicated by sym-
bols, with one mark representing 50 Wh.
In addition, the total fuel consumption be-
fore resetting and the total travel distance are
displayed at the right bottom of the screen.

(k) Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting the
vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the vehicle at the prop-
er locations (See page IN±8).
Cancel the parking brake on the pedal place and
shift the transmission in N position.
When jacking up the front wheels of the vehicle at
first place stoppers behind the rear wheels.
When jacking up the rear wheels of the vehicle at
first place stoppers before the front wheels.
When either the front or rear wheels only should be
jacked up, set rigid racks and place stoppers in front
and behind the other wheels on the ground.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it
on rigid racks . It is extremely dangerous to do any
work on a vehicle raised on a jack alone, even for
a small job that can be finished quickly.
(l) Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to the
following parts:
(1) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU unless
absolutely necessary. (If the IC terminals are
touched, the IC may be destroyed by static electric-
ity.)
(2) To disconnect vacuum hoses, pull off the end, not
the middle of the hose.
(3) To pull apart electrical connectors, pull on the con-
nector itself, not the wires.
(4) Be careful not to drop electrical components, such
as sensors or relays. If they are dropped on a hard
floor, they should be replaced and not reused.
(5) When steam cleaning an engine, protect the elec-
tronic components, air filter and emission±related
components from water.
(6) Never use an impact wrench to remove or install
temperature switches or temperature sensors.
(7) When checking continuity at the wire connector, in-
sert the tester probe carefully to prevent terminals
from bending.
(8) When using a vacuum gauge, never force the hose
onto a connector that is too large. Use a step±down
adapter for adjustment. Once the hose has been
stretched, it may leak air.

(m) Installation and removal of vacuum hose:
(1) When disconnecting vacuum hoses, use tags to
identify how they should be reconnected to.
(2) After completing a job, double check that the vacu-
um hoses are properly connected. A label under the
hood shows the proper layout.
(n) Bleeding of hydraulic brake booster system:
When repairing the hydraulic brake booster or ABS,
bleeding the air out of the hydraulic brake booster (See
page BR±4).
(o) Unless otherwise stated, all resistance is measured at an
ambient temperature of 20°C (68°F). Because the resis-
tance may be outside specifications if measured at high
temperatures immediately after the vehicle has been run-
ning, measurement should be made when the engine has
cooled down.
