I appreciate the write up I am a prius mechanic mostly and know them well.
I ran the techstream to turn on the pump through the utilities program but I keep getting a error code same as before with the other pump and driver. Also when I refilled the transmission I used a fluid transfer pump and filled till it came out of the fill plug. So what you are saying is it could be a air pocket in the system, or an electrical fault on the units themselves. I will look to see if there is an error code later........ ty
