I have the codes P2118 and P0A09 on my 2005 Toyota Prius 1.8L

Question

My Toyota generated a 2 fault codes:

P0A09 - Hybrid DC/DC Converter failure. The advice from the garage is that I need new unit.
P2118 - Throttle. Advice from the garage is that this MIGHT need replacing.

The car will start, but it will not drive.

I am thinking that the P2118 might be because of the Hybrid DC/DC inverter issue but I am not sure.

Could someone advise on this please. Its an expensive job if I have to replace the two items.

Thank you in advance.

Regards

Jay

Answer 1

The inverter is probably the first thing to replace if its not working correct it could be causing other problems.

I think the part is over $3000 and the labor is like 3 hours.

The throttle body is over $900 and 2 hours of labor

you can check the fuse for P2118

I would suggest you think about selling the car if I had to spend over $3k on my car I would highly consider it also since the car is a 2005 there is also the possibility of the battery going battery in the near future, maybe trade it into a small dealer and buy a car from them.
