Hi Maxsolar:
___I have seen SoC at 82 or 83% when falling into
Salt Lake City and once that 80 + % SoC is reached, the excess is energy is consumed in a higher ICE RPM. IIRC, she was spinning up around 4,000 + R's at 65 + mph while still descending. You can also use this same condition to run SHM at 55 + mph with the high SoC being consumed through MG2 until about 70% SoC before she starts ...

What was the code on ScanGage or another OEMII reader?
Once that is known, this becomes a lot clearer.
Sincerely hope it's a
hiccup.

Hi Tis4real:
___We have had a few discussions about the 12V causing trouble for FE in some of the older hybrids. Along with tire pressures, alignment, dragging brakes and new fluids, I would check that next.
___We have to get your vehicle back in top tip top shape before moving to a PHEV or their may be future disappointment not attributed to
anything in particular but a glitch ...

You might want to check your 12v battery. I have heard that a weak 12v in a
gen 1
Prius is the usual cause of lower mileage.

I have to travel on some narrow,
high-speed 2-lane roads so I'm a big fan of DRLs. For better or for worse the US Prius doesn't have them, so I usually turn on the headlights manually. But sometimes I forget. Also, I'm about to upgrade to higher-performance (read: more expensive and shorter life) headlight bulbs and I'm concerned about having to replace them constantly. So I did a little ...

Probably no other car will match it? Good going! Hal

For minimum drag, it would be better to completely block the upper grill opening and to allow whatever amount of cooling air required to enter through a smaller opening in the lower grill. Ideally that smaller opening would have a door that could be adjusted to match the current cooling needs on the fly either by the driver or by an automated controller.

Hi Tim:
___Sounds like an interesting problem you are watching... New 12V is always a good thing after being cooked in the SC sunshine but to see SoC rise so high while cruising down the road in
SHM??? That was up there! If you would have driven another 10-miles, you may have needed to use a fire extinguisher JK
___Keep us informed.
___Good Luck
___Wayne
