I'm also getting the Red Triangle of Doom and a red warning on the MFD, which I've never seen before. That can't be a good sign.

My guess is that the inverter coolant system is horked somehow. After doing some reading it looks like the coolant control valve getting stuck is a common problem, and in an old car just needs to be replaced. That's a $500 repair.

If I get lucky, that's why the inverter pump isn't working. If I don't that also needs to be replaced. That's at least a $500 repair.

If I get super uber lucky, the AC is still working and the reason I'm getting no cold is the coolant valve is dumping heat into the cabin at the same time. If the AC is out... that could be anywhere from a $200 to $2k repair, depending.

I've already called my Toyota dealer and have the car scheduled for an appointment for next week. That's when I'll find out how bad things are. If we are looking at multiple thousands of dollars to get Champrius ship-shape again... I have to seriously consider mothballing her and getting a new car. And right as I was knee deep in the mods for her, too. (sigh)
