Prius (2004-09) :: CEL Came On And Engine Making Smoke


Sep 9, 2015

My engine light is on and also began smoking. I turned the AC off and the smoking stopped but the light stayed on. I am reading about a code sensor. Where do you get that and how do you use it. I also read that there are authorized dealers other than Toyota. How do you find that list? I am taking it to the dealer this morning and need to understand whether I am getting the best solution for a diagnosis. I read too to get the codes before letting anyone do the repairs. I have about 132k miles. I

Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 - Engine Making Some Noise And Then Went All At Once / Replacement?

I've decide to replace the engine in a 2005 Prius. For whatever reason it went bad around 110,000 miles. It was making some noise and then went all at once. I don't know the complete maintenance history of the car, but I know it was pretty regular. I also know the car was driven mainly highway miles and on A LOT of dirt roads. So, the oil may have needed more frequent oil changes.

Dodge - Stratus :: 2004 - Making Loud Noise When Air Or Heat On - Smoke?

I have a 2004 Dodge stratus recently it makes a really loud noise for like 15 seconds then stops if I have the heat or air on. If I don't have it on it doesn't make the sound but either way after 15 mins of driving white smoke will come out of the passenger side and a funny smell. It starts fine isnt overheating, and drives fine.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2007 - Engine Started Making A Clicking Noise

The other night I was going up the mountain and while going it started making a clicking noise..probably from no oil..We had been told from the dealership there was a small leak but nothing to worry about at the moment.We tested it and it wasn't leaking visibly but I guess with it getting cold out the hole got bigger and we didn't notice so all the oil leaked out as we were powering the lil car through the mountains..Needless to say on the cruise down it started shaking i saw some sparks and I think the rod went through my engine block and we broke down. It's completely dead. The car has right around 200,000 miles on it and has always been very well taken care of.I just traded my dad the car about 7 months ago for my 4-runner cause of gas prices..I moved across the country and of course have had NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS since day one.

Prius (2004-09) :: Burning Smell - Smoke Coming From Back Of Engine

I've got an 08 Gen II with 173k miles on it. The last few days of coming up the huge hill in front of our house I've noticed a burning smell, link burnt coolant.

So today I actually popped the hood to investigate and found a small tuff of smoke coming from the back of the engine.

After climbing underneath I found a leak of some sort of brown/cream fluid.. Kinda scary color. Anyways it seems when put a significant load on the car going up a hill it sprays this fluid on the exhaust, thus the burning smell..

Oil is clean on the stick and under the cap.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Car Shuddered / Engine Is Making Noises After Some Maintenance

I did some maintenance:

1. Changed oil

2. Flushed ATF fluid

3. Cleaned throttle body

4. Cleaned MAF sensor

I did all of these one right after the other and when I rolled out to test drive, the car shuddered and now the engine is making weird noises. I don't want to turn the car on again or drive it.

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2006 - Engine Making A Groaning Noise For About 5 Seconds

My 2006 Prius makes this noise - like a groaning sound for about 5 seconds - when I shutdown the engine. Always happens when I am NOT at the dealership. Generally happens when the engine is hot. What this might be?

Prius (2010-12) :: Engine Making Noise In Park While Running?

My wife bought a new 2010 Prius Hybrid. It has consistently achieved 51+ miles per gallon. She bought it in June-2010 and at the 7000 mile mark (October?) called me concerned about a noise it was making under the hood. She described it as akin to the noise a playing card made when as a child you fastened it to the spokes of a bicycle. Chattering? It lasted 15-30 seconds and went away, before engaging in reverse or forward. A trip to the dealership was fruitless, an "intermittent episode" the diagnosis.

Now, nothing since until today. Same noise again, 12,000 mile mark, goes away in same timeframe, in park. Only today, through the course of several errands, her dash MPG indicator reads 39 MPG. She is waiting as we speak in the dealer lobby as they plug into the computer hunting for fault codes, etc. Having issues, especially an indicated dropoff in MPG seemingly in conjunction with such a noise?

Prius (2004-09) :: Gear Selector Making Annoying Noise?

This is unfortunately a tale of self-caused problems with my G2 '04 Prius

My gear selector was making an annoying noise when the knob was moved so I disassembled the gear selector from the car, and then took the gear selector box partially apart. Now with it back in the car I am stuck in 'B' gear.

The car seems to boot up correctly into 'Park' and the display shows 'Ready' and no alarms

If I try to choose another gear I see the display highlight 'D' but when I release the gear knob 'B' is highlited. Forward motion is enabled. At this point the 'Park' button does not work but I am able to power the car down as usual.

Toyota - Tacoma :: 2004 - Making Sound In Engine Compartment Intermittently - No ABS Light Comes On

After having the rear axle seal replaced 3rd time, my 2004 Toyota makes a sound/noise behind the dash, drivers side, in the engine compartment. Noise is intermittent and only when braking. Hard to describe....electronic sound. Brake pedal feels like ABS system is kicking in. But no ABS light comes on. Mechanics all tell me, "when light comes on, bring it back". Had the brake system flushed today? Still makes the noise.

Prius (2004-09) :: All Of A Sudden Car Started Making Horrible Knocking Sound

I was driving the other day, and all of a sudden it started with this horrible knocking sound. I have never heard the sound before. I remember back in the day, with a 67 buick rivera, that if the oil got low, the engine would knock, and this kind of sounded the same, but more high pitched and clicky. I checked the oil first thing and there is plenty in there - in fact, I had just checked and put oil in it about two weeks before.

I have not always kept up with the oil changes, and sometimes the oil level was pretty low. My sons tell me that the sound seems to be coming from the top of the engine, and it's probably toast, a rod knock. I parked it, and figured i will get it looked at in a few months, when I'm better able to pay for diagnostics.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 - Car Making Strange Beeping Noise, CEL, ABS Lights Come On

Have been driving my Prius with no issue all week. I leave the car home and take my wife's vehicle, while she drives it today without incident. I come home and hear the car making some strange beeping noise (NOT the anti-theft alarm, different). I hop into the car and try to start it, and the check engine and ABS lights come on for a second before other lights in the speedometer area kinda half come on. The gear indicator comes on and has boxes blinking on all of the letters.

The MFD never comes on.

It appears to be the 12V battery dying. The car has 150k miles and I have never replaced the battery, so it seems I was way overdue for this.
