Dr. Prius / Dr. Hybrid

Dr. Prius / Dr. Hybrid is an innovative application designed to provide professional-grade diagnostic capabilities for Toyota/Lexus hybrid vehicles, directly from your mobile device. Embracing the modern convenience of smartphone technology, the app effectively turns your phone into a sophisticated diagnostic tool, mirroring equipment that traditionally costs thousands of dollars and is now adopted by over 439 professional repair shops globally.

At the core of its functionalities, it facilitates thorough examinations of the High Voltage battery system, equipping users with the necessary information to identify potential issues. With a user-friendly interface, real-time monitoring and analysis are possible, including a proprietary Life expectancy test that forecasts the battery's remaining lifespan and comprehensive battery assessments to ensure system health. Immediate insights are provided through detailed charts and numeric data, alongside the ability to print or share diagnostic certificates, a testament to the battery's condition.

Additionally, the platform comes with other features, such as reading and resetting of error codes, reverse beep toggling, seat belt beep adjustments, battery fan speed control, and a maintenance mode to assist in car diagnostics. It also allows users to manage traction control settings and even locate nearby hybrid repair shops.

For communication with your vehicle, the use of an ELM327 Bluetooth OBD interface is required, noting that not all clone adapters may be compatible. Wi-Fi OBD2 adapters are not recommended due to the potential for internet interruptions during vehicle connection.

The platform supports a wide range of hybrid models from 1997 onwards, with full coverage for many and partial support for a select few. Most features are free of charge, with certain diagnostic tests available via in-app purchase. Tutorial videos are also offered for guidance on using its features effectively.

Dr. Prius / Dr. Hybrid positions itself as an essential tool for hybrid vehicle owners and technicians, simplifying the complex processes of vehicle diagnostics and maintenance. This application represents a smart, cost-effective solution for safeguarding the longevity and performance of a hybrid vehicle's heart—the battery system.
