This is a easy job. As long as you have basic tools you can do it.
The inverter pump is a pump the circulate the coolant as soon as you turn on the ignition so it does wear out and burn out and is a pretty common problem with Prius

For anyone wanting to go the inexpensive route. All the tools I needed or used was A socket wrench, 10mm &12mm sockets, A 2 or 3 inch extender. (I had all this and more in a cheap ass socket set I got from advanced Auto for like $5-$10) A flat head screw driver, a Philips screwdriver driver. A set of two metal hose Pinchers ($12 from autozone) with these a little coolant still spilled but not enough I needed to add any. And hose pincher pliers? Not sure if that's what there called but they look like thick hook shaped pliers with a screw on the end of one handle that you use to widen or shorten the mouth. (I used these to squeeze the metal hose clamps so I could move them up and remove the hoses from the broken inverter pump and onto the new one).

best video that shows the easy way to replace it by taking out the headlight for more room. easy peasy 10min job. thanks again

Great video. Really helped me out. Took me about 45min. I used the bleed valve to get the air out as well. I used 1/4in inner diameter vinyl tubing from home depot to bleed the air out of the system. It was stupid easy. It was shocking how much air there was so make sure you don't forget this step. Having air in the coolant system is no good. My CEL didn't turn off automatically but I just reset/cleared it with my OBDII bluetooth tool. It's been working great for months now without anymore issues.

I can’t see turbulence in reservoir even though I did all the steps you did. Any thoughts? Thanks!

That top mount that was removed on the video, will it need to be torqued back to the motor? Or just bolted down? Just curious, because one moment it was off and then back on and no information was given. Just need clarification, he also ran the car without that mount just wanted help. Thanks!

I like how no one ever explains why you need to bleed the system

This made it real easy for me to follow thx! My inverter kicked the bucket. And your straight forward video was very helpful. For some reason after putting it all back together, there's like a mm of space below the headlight, like it's not quite flush as before, yet everything is as fit as I can figure out. Everything's screwed in. So hopefully that won't cause any issues when it rains. My error 🤷‍♀️🙃

I also left that small stabilizer bar attached to the actual inverter screwed in and didn't remove it. The nuts were not budging and I didn't feel confident enough in myself that I could get it the same tightness again if I did get it loosened. Considering the headlight removed gave me plenty of space, it wasnt really in the way much thankfully.

I was going to say why not just use the replacement metal frame but it turns out that the screw that holds the frame down on the left can "die" (break) easily so yeah good idea to replace it at the 3 screws instead.

How should i burp the system of air after doing this? There are 4 or more ways to purge the coolant system of air.

Funny I just went down the front of the inverter to change mine. A little maneuvering and in and out. Didn’t have to remove the bumper. 2005 Prius.

There are 3-10mm bolt in the area behind the bumper cover that you pull away to remove the headlight. Of the 3 it is the front lower one..........

Did you notice turbulence in the reservoir. I just did mine. The pump is running I feel the liquid going through hoses. Bled the system but no air. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I just want to see the "pump" which I think is the 3 way valve but I'm not sure since showing the part seems to have been edited out of the video

this hybrid inverter system is self burbling. Just turn the car on and let the pump run, then fill the reservoir tank as needed
