This is what Toyota of Palo Alto says about the service:
Quote:
A trained technician will analyze (diagnose) your concern. As a result of diagnosis, an estimate for repairs or additional diagnosis as required will be provided to you. Diagnosis fee does not include cost of parts and/or labor to complete repair. Please address any concerns directly with your service advisor upon arrival.
Disclaimer regarding price: Waived if covered under factory or extended warranty. Dealership will determine eligibility.
As for the part, thanks. Yes, that would save me a few hundred dollars off of the Toyota of Walnut Creek price. I would still certainly like to know if the parts are truly identical or are merely interoperable.

UPDATE: To be fair, on another tread a person with an EV charging malfunction much like mine reports that the diagnostics cost $160 at Tustin Toyota in Orange County, CA.
Note that I'm don't discuss the price of diagnostics (it depends on the hourly flat rate labor
* of a particular service shop and on the "appetite" of its owner).
My question was what exactly can you get for that money.
Do I understand correctly their answer corresponds to a situation when a patient is tested to find the cause of the disease, but their results are a secret for the patient himself?
* For reference.
