To do that, get into the car, close the door, and switch the vehicle on. Once the engine is running, reach under the steering wheel and locate the button marked &ldquo;switch&rdquo;. Press the button so that it pops out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on what setting the car is on, you may have to press the switch a couple of times before the sensor resets properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sensor aerial connection may also have come loose or been corroded. In that case, you must test the wiring continuity to see where the problem lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the aerial and wiring can be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toyota Prius Door Won&rsquo;t Stay Open<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/KMA-Toyota-Prius-Doors-Not-Working-7.jpg\" alt=\"Hand opening exterior white car door handle\" class=\"wp-image-2292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/KMA-Toyota-Prius-Doors-Not-Working-7.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/KMA-Toyota-Prius-Doors-Not-Working-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/KMA-Toyota-Prius-Doors-Not-Working-7-335x224.jpg 335w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/KMA-Toyota-Prius-Doors-Not-Working-7-347x232.jpg 347w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/KMA-Toyota-Prius-Doors-Not-Working-7-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/KMA-Toyota-Prius-Doors-Not-Working-7.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Hand opening exterior white car door handle\" class=\"wp-image-2292 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/KMA-Toyota-Prius-Doors-Not-Working-7.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/KMA-Toyota-Prius-Doors-Not-Working-7-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/KMA-Toyota-Prius-Doors-Not-Working-7-335x224.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/KMA-Toyota-Prius-Doors-Not-Working-7-347x232.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/KMA-Toyota-Prius-Doors-Not-Working-7-520x347.jpg.webp 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/KMA-Toyota-Prius-Doors-Not-Working-7.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-7\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A common problem with an older Toyota Prius is a worn driver&rsquo;s door that won&rsquo;t stay open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If your Toyota Prius door won&rsquo;t stay open, then you need to adjust or replace the door check.

You&rsquo;ll have to remove the door panel to gain access to the components that must be replaced.<\/p><p><i>Copyright protected article by Know My Auto and was first published on May 7, 2022. .<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If your Toyota Prius doors won&rsquo;t open from inside, the door lock actuator may have failed. First, check that the fuse has not blown and that you have a fully charged starter battery. If the master door lock on the driver&rsquo;s side fails to lock the doors, then it is probably the switch that is faulty.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the locking mechanism on the door that does not lock for a stretched cable, disconnected rods, or broken plastic clips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, check that the actuator is receiving power by testing the connector while activating the door lock button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If power is present, then the actuator is likely the problem. If there is no power, then you will need to test the wiring to see if it is worn or damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are still unable to trace the fault, then try activating the lock using the key fob. If it fails to lock and unlock the door, then it is possible that the body control module may be faulty.<\/p><p><i>The copyright owner of this article is Knowmyauto.com and was first published on May 7, 2022..<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-prius-lights-not-working-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota Prius Lights Not Working<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-prius-ac-not-working-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota Prius AC Not Working<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-prius-hood-not-working-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota Prius Hood Not Working<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-prius-radio-not-working-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota Prius Radio Not Working<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-prius-windows-not-working-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota Prius Windows Not Working<\/a><\/p><p><i>KnowMyAuto is the sole owner of this article was published on May 7, 2022 and last updated on <time itemprop=\"dateModified\" datetime=\"2023-09-14\">Sep 14, 2023<\/time> .<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/how-to-reset-toyota-prius-tpms-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">How to Reset Toyota Prius TPMS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your Toyota Prius doors won\u2019t open from inside, the door lock actuator may have failed.
