ADD HYBRID TRANSAXLE FLUID
| *1 | Filler Nozzle |
| *2 | Filler Plug |
Add transaxle fluid until the fluid level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.197 in.) from the bottom lip of the filler plug opening.
Note
Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
Use Toyota Genuine ATF WS.
Be sure to fully insert the filler nozzle into the filler plug opening.
Be sure to add fluid slowly. If fluid is added quickly, the fluid may hit internal parts and bounce back, resulting in fluid coming out of the filler plug opening.
Be sure to directly check that the transaxle fluid level is within the specified range.
Insufficient or excessive amounts of transaxle fluid may damage the hybrid transaxle.
| Reference |
|---|
| 3.7 liters (3.9 US qts, 3.2 Imp. qts) |
After adding fluid, leave it for 30 seconds so that the fluid surface can become still again, and then check that the fluid level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.197 in.) from the bottom lip of the filler plug opening. (If the fluid level is too low, return to the Add Hybrid Transaxle Fluid procedure.)
Note
After adding fluid, make sure to check the fluid level.
ADD COOLANT (for Inverter)
Note
Do not reuse the drained coolant because it may contain foreign objects.
If the vehicle is driven with air in the inverter cooling system, damage may occur and the following DTCs may be set.

Slowly pour coolant into the reserve tank until it reaches the FULL line.
| Coolant quantity |
|---|
| 3.2 liters (3.4 US qts, 2.8 Imp. qts.) |
Note
To prevent foreign matter such as dust or dirt from entering the cooling system, make sure to confirm that the container used to add coolant is clean and free of foreign matter such as dust or dirt.
When using the Techstream:
Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Active Test / Activate the Water Pump.
Keep the coolant at the FULL line in the reserve tank to compensate for the drop in coolant level when the air bleeds.
| Standard |
|---|
| Air bleeding from the inverter cooling system is completed when the noise made by the inverter water pump assembly becomes smaller and the circulation of coolant in the reserve tank improves. |
Tech Tips
If free spinning of the inverter water pump is detected for approximately 5 seconds, failsafe control will be activated to suspend the operation of the pump for approximately 15 seconds and resume operation for approximately 4 seconds repeatedly. Operation of the inverter water pump will return to normal if coolant is added.
Loud noise made by the inverter water pump assembly and poor circulation of coolant in the reserve tank indicates that there is air in the cooling system.
Tech Tips
Loud noise made by the water pump and poor circulation of coolant in the reserve tank indicates that there is air in the cooling system.
When not using the Techstream:
Turn the power switch on (READY).[*1]
Turn the power switch off and add coolant to the FULL line because the coolant level drops as the air bleeds.[*2]
Note
Be sure to turn the power switch off before adding SLLC.
Do not work on the components in the engine compartment while the vehicle is in the READY-on state because the engine is in intermittent operation.
Repeat steps [*1] and [*2] until air bleeding from the cooling system is completed.
| Standard |
|---|
| Air bleeding from the inverter cooling system is completed when the noise made by the inverter water pump assembly becomes smaller and the circulation of coolant in the reserve tank improves. |
Tech Tips
Loud noise made by the water pump and poor circulation of coolant in the reserve tank indicates that there is air in the cooling system.
After the air is completely bled from the cooling system, tighten the reserve tank cap.
Add coolant to the FULL line of the reserve tank.
INSPECT HYBRID TRANSAXLE FLUID
| *1 | Filler Plug |
Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the filler plug and gasket.
Check that the fluid level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.197 in.) from the bottom lip of the filler plug opening. (If the fluid level is too low, return to the Add Hybrid Transaxle Fluid procedure.)
Note
Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
Be sure to directly check that the transaxle fluid level is within the specified range.
Insufficient or excessive amounts of transaxle fluid may damage the hybrid transaxle.
If the fluid was replaced or fluid was added, make sure to recheck the fluid level after driving the vehicle.
Check for leaks if the quantity of transaxle fluid is low. (If there are no fluid leaks but the amount of the fluid is insufficient, add fluid Click here.
Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, install the filler plug with a new gasket.
INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK
INSPECT FOR COOLANT LEAK (for Inverter)
Remove the reserve tank cap.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the reserve tank cap while the coolant for the inverter is still hot.
Install the radiator cap tester.
Pump the radiator cap tester to 122 kPa (1.2 kgf/ cm2, 17 psi), and then check that the pressure does not drop.
Tech Tips
If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator, water pump, inverter with converter, and hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly for leaks.
Reinstall the reserve tank cap.
