I'm in Huntington Beach and need to replace one of the coolant pumps that I can't handle on my own. Does anyone have a non-dealer repair shop they'd recommend for simple things like changing a water pump etc? The dealer wants 2k. Seems steep.

Coupla questions: Will this software and cable let you reset the "Check EV system" warning? You mention "Via TIS subscription and download ($25 for two days)," does that mean you need a subscription to use the software any time you want to use it?

Thanks for this. Are the fuses the hard to access ones under a nest of stuff that was mentioned in another thread or are these somewhere I can easily access to test/replace? In other words, where can I find that box with the fuses in your image " 1. Location of battery pump fuses...

Thanks, I'm going to search for someone locally that handles at least some EVs before maybe trying a shop that advertises hybrid servicing.

Tustin (California) Toyota Dealer's service department did the diagnosis. They didn't give much detail beyond what I posted in the other thread. If the fuse is accessible, I think that's something I could check with a meter. Not sure on the relay. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Wow, thank you for all the detail and photos! Getting under the car isn't something I'm up for at this point. I'll probably try to find a local shop that's willing to tackle it.

Makes sense. Is the big plastic cover in the middle the panel you mean that should be removed? @alflash is the orange outline in my photo corresponding to the orange outline in your diagram or do I have the wrong thing identified? Thanks!

I don't know what I'm looking for at all. Are either of these what I'm looking for? And if so, do you know if either of these is the Number 1 pump? "Left" is pretty ambiguous depending on where you're standing, but "left pump" is what the dealer told me the error was.

I'm hoping to replace the "left" coolant pump as mentioned here and was wondering if anyone who's done it already could give me a few pointers or maybe answer a few questions. Do I need to take the plastic cover off of the center area under the hood to access things? I've seen pictures of the...

Is pump number 1 this part? 6008047-00-A or 6007367-00-E or 6007367-00-B Any advice on getting a new one from China on Ebay vs a used "OEM" one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/134878182007

Thank you! I'll give it a try.

Thank you!

How involved was replacing the pump? Did you need to lift the car to access? I'm apparently in need of the "left" coolant pump and would consider doing it myself if it's not much more involved than say replacing brake pads on an ICE car.

Well, the dealer says the left coolant pump is dead, replacement cost ~2000. Not sure if I'm up for that, but they said that if I don't do it, the main battery could be ruined. REC Battery coolant pump 1 malfunction thc-d0005. recommend replacement of left coolant pump for battery Customer Pay...

Thanks. I saw a post about a youtube video showing the steps to reset it. That didn't do it. The little yellow "!" triangle comes on also. Don't think it's the 12v, I replaced the 12v battery last year so I think I'm ok for another year hopefully! Guess I'll call the dealer.
