Toyota Mirai

The hydrogen car, and the only thing in this catalogue whose energy is stored as a compressed gas at 700 bar. The drivetrain is electric and reads like one — a motor, an inverter, a small buffer battery — but everything upstream of it is unlike anything else here: a fuel-cell stack, an air compressor feeding it, tank pressure and temperature sensing, and hydrogen leak detection that will immobilise the car on its own authority. Its fault codes are overwhelmingly about the stack and the gas side rather than the traction system, so battery-electric experience carries less across than the shared motor hardware suggests. The second generation moved to rear-wheel drive on the platform the large Lexus saloons use.

Service information

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
