Our 2002 Prius ECU went away at about 55-56,000, it had bobbled before at about 40K but was reset. After the initial reset the mileage wasn't as good as it had been prior to the bobble. After the ECU was changed the milage is back, but we're a little leary of the car. Thinking maybe we should be considering turning it into a Yari, mileage would be about the same but without a $1500 ECU hanging over our head. We commute about 80-100 miles a day driving the Sipper to work, the miles stack up and with the $2.90+ a gallon gas really makes a heck of a difference. Hmmm, to remain Hybrid or Opt for a small smart gas rig. As a note I went on the web the second time it had a conniption fit and found instructions to reset the semi-dead ECU. It worked well enough to save the $200.00 tow bill to the dealership, warranty covered the ECU.
