Prius (2001-03) :: On Startup No Outside Temp / MPG Stuck At 100
2002 Prius, ~165k miles. When I first start the car, the first 30 seconds or 1 minute the "Consumption" display will show no outside temp and the mpg gauge stuck at 100mpg. After warming up (I use that term loosely as its still 70s/80s here), it will operate like normal. Shutting the car off and turning it back on will not bring the issue back - the car will need to sit for a few hours or overnight for the problem to come back. What is going on here?
View 2 RepliesPrius (Gen 3) :: Fan Noise During Morning Startup
I am experiencing a fan noise that precedes the ICE during morning startup. It sounds like a model airplane with a cheap, buzzy propeller. It is not the cabin blower and it comes from the front of the car. It goes for about 10sec and then the ICE fires up, drowning out the fan noise, which I presume fades out. And then I don't hear it again when the ICE shuts off. I also don't hear it at a stop light or subsequent restarts. Seemingly, it only does it after it has sat overnight.
It wasn't always like this. Nothing has changed in my routine. Build date Sep 09. 10000km.
Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: AC Noise At Startup
My PIP makes a moderately loud buzzing noise, apparently from the compressor upon pressing the start button, in EV mode, and pressing the climate control "auto" button. It goes away, but seems unusual. AC works fine? I don't remember it being so apparent before.

Yesterday morning, my 2010 had a very strange noise happen at startup. I'll preface this by saying that it was very early in the morning and I wasn't quite 100% awake, so the exact chain of events are a little foggy to me.
It was about 65 degrees when I went to start the vehicle in the morning. I noticed it was pretty humid out and the first humid morning of the year (I live in central PA). When I hit the power button, a very loud noise came from the engine area. It sounded like metal grinding and the motor having difficulty idling. I depressed the brake to attempt to put the vehicle in drive and the yellow "!" indicator light came on with a message on the on board display (i cant remember what it said). I shut the vehicle down and after a few seconds hit the button again..... same thing. This time, the idling and "grinding-like" noise went away and then the car seemed 100% normal. I noticed there was a little bit of blue smoke coming out of the exhaust while it was idling/grinding roughly.
Perhaps not the smartest thing to do, but I left for work and the vehicle has worked 100% fine since the mishap yesterday morning. In total, I have driven about 150 miles since the issue with no problems.
I read a sticky post concerning a service bulletin for engine knocking at start-up but what i heard seemed to be more than knocking and it was well above 40 degrees.
Prius (2001-03) :: Loud Noise At Startup That Disappears
I have a 2002 Prius that is running fine except for a loud noise when I started it up---like the one the exha fan in my bathroom makes, but the car runs well and there are no lights or any other indicator that anything is wrong. I am taking it to a local mechanic today, since I don't trust my local dealer. My car has about 95, 000 miles on it.

View 14 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Buzzing Fan Noise Coming From Engine Bay At Startup
My 2010 Prius V just past the 24000km mark. I have a buzzing noise coming from the engine bay during startup. It happens when the interior fan is on. You can hear it clearly after you start the car, during the silence of the "boot up", before the ICE kicks in. I can't be sure if it continues to buzz after that because the sound of the ICE drowns it out. However, If I shut off the fan during the boot up, the buzz disappears. Finally, if I leave the fan off and start the car, there is no buzz.
During a recent oil change, a hybrid technician claims that this is normal. It used to happen infrequently but now it is consistent, so if it was normal, I should have heard it when the car was new.
Prius (2001-03) :: Grinding Noise For 20 - 30 Sec At Cold Startup In The Morning
My G1 prius (2001) started making a grinding noise when I start it up in the morning. There are no warning lights (yet) and it drives fine, but that noise can't be good -- something will fail shortly. I've searched the internet quite thoroughly and there was one similar problem reported, which ended up being linked to the ABS pump. The noise seems to come from the inverter, or somewhere under the inverter. I took a video of it and posted it here.

I have a 2009 Gen III T Spirit. Recently, and I think following the recent reflash, I have been getting an extra noise on cold startup. It is a scratching noise that lasts just a couple of seconds about 4 or 5 seconds after pressing the start button. I have tried to attach a short recording but cannot upload an mp3 file so have made it into a zip file.
I have checked whether it is radio by removing fuses 8 and 28 and have also switched off the heater fan, both without any effect.

View 3 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Loud Clattering Noise From Under The Hood Occurred Upon Startup
Twice during the 6 months that we have owned our 2010 Prius, a loud clattering noise from under the hood occurred upon startup. After shutting it down and restarting, all was normal. It sounded like an engine that was getting ready to throw a connecting rod. The dealer could find nothing wrong and when I contacted Toyota's hot line, they were clueless as well. One service writer suggested the ABS as the source, but I've owned 5 other cars with ABS and never heard anything like it.

On startup my 2005 Prius standard produces a low level cyclic noise which sounds like a hacksaw. This noise lasts for several minutes and is not affected by putting the car in motion or leaving it parked. The noise seems to be coming from the Synergy Unit but who knows?

View 11 RepliesPrius C :: ICE Always Comes On After Startup?
I understand that the ICE comes on to warm up the coolant and recharge the battery if low. However, in the middle of summer and with a full battery, my ICE still comes on even if I have just parked for a short while. Is that normal? I have heard that it doesn't come on for some people if the battery is not lower than 2 bars and the coolant should stay warm for a couple of days.

I'm getting a clicking noise while rolling, somewhat loud, and the same consistent clicking noise that speeds up when I speed up. Just a normal "click.....click.....click....click....". Would this most likely be the wheel bearing or am I getting in the red with possibly an axle?

View 7 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: V6 - Grinding Noise On Startup
I just bought a 2006 Sonata LX V6 a few days ago and in almost every way it seems like a great car. My '08 GLS V6 which gave me 150k great miles got totaled in November, which really sucks, but I wanted to find another '06-'08 V6. I noticed when I started it for the test drive that the car made a bit of a grinding noise on start up. I didn't think much of it and figured that the warranty from the dealership would cover any problems.(I probably should've checked earlier, but the dealership's warranty only covers cam and lifter noise and engine failure) After I looked into the issue more, I found out that it is a fairly common problem on the early 3.3's with the timing chain tensioners. I'm pretty concerned based on just the nature of the repairs and the cost I've seen for them.
I'm the third owner so the 5 year/60k warranty is expired, but I know there is a TSB out for the issue. I can't find the TSB anywhere but I've heard to have it repaired the car has to make the noise on start, sit 10 minutes, and make the noise again. If it does, the oil needs to be changed and the test repeated again. Since I'm running Hyundai 5W-20 and an OEM filter already, I tried the test on my own. It made the noise on start, sat 10 minutes, and made it again. It is only for a couple seconds, but it's still concerning to me. I guess what I'm trying to ask is if what I've described is covered under the TSB. I really don't wanna have to worry about something like that right now, so my next question is whether the issue I have is detrimental to the motor. My worst fear would be to have the chain jump a cog on the cam gear and slam valves into pistons.
Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Noise At Startup From The Engine
Hearing weird noises at car start-up from the engine?
My 13' Elantra Sedan has around 3K on it and a weird noise comes from the engine at start-up.
Sometimes it goes away quickly and sometimes it will linger for a while.
