How to change inverter coolant pump on 09 Toyota Prius 

Thanks for this! This seemed way easier than the unbolting inverter brackets method. I didn't even fully remove the headlight assembly just popped out the top two bulbs for running and turn signal lights and set it on the fuse box.

Very helpful bro just did mine today then took her on the highway to see if I got the red-light..nope all set I had a feeling to check this 1st and ill be damned that was it 💪💪💪godbless bro 🙏

GREAT VIDEO!!!! Just changed it thanx to your video.. mechanics were charging and arm and a leg. Replaced it in 15 min. Thanx!!!

Bro that was such an easy way to change the water pump thank you very much I just did mine in 20

appears at 5:45 to get it unstuck he removed a bolt to the coolant valve pump to loosen it...yes on the "remove headlight first" method, makes it to much easier...also if you really want it to be easy: remove headlight (two screws in front, one can use a flathead, one screw or two under fender attaching bumper, then 3 screws securing headlight), cover to fuse box, clamp the hoses, disconnect, then unscrew the three screws holding it onto its frame and replace it that way. Then you don't have to unscrew the inverter or the little side screw to the coolant valve (which is trapping down the coolant pump), or the top screw which tends to break the head off.

Doing this today , I feel this is a much better way. I did the other way with inverter the angles made it a bit more of a pain.

Going to have to do that with mine. Thanks

getting ready to replace my pump and as fate has it I have an igniter for the drivers side headlight to replace also.

good work. soon i will need to do that.

How do you get to that first bolt? I took everything else off then realized i tool the wrong bolt odd and the one that I need to take off has a cm of clearance around all metal.

The easiest way to change the inverter pump is to remove the driver side headlight

Taking out the headlight was a very good idea. There was all kinds of room and removing the headlight wasn't all that hard to do.

Taking out the headlight looks like you can actually see what your doing and have room for your knuckles!

Thanks for the video! What code did you get?

Did you know that you can shut the traction battery down by pulling an orange key in the Trunk? In this kind of car it's necessary to do so, since it has around 200v DC..

Where's the fuse for that located??? I think there are 3 fuse boxes on the car.

Who found this hilarious

do you know anything about prius radiator that doesn't have a drain plug to do the flush?

My sensor is stuck how do I get it off??

Well if you have tiny hands, doesn't need to remove any thing and still change it in 20 mins.
