Default Inverter cooling pump fail

My inverter cooling pump started getting intermittent last June. It’s been good until December and failed again. Then failed again in February and then a couple times since.

Tapping it gets it going in a pinch but it was time to replace. My son did it for my on a lift at Toyota dealer where he works. Probably took 20 min.

Symptoms are obviously a hybrid error and the fans will be running on high. If you keep driving 100% power loss is inevitable pretty quickly so park it as soon as possible. Else it will stop you.

How many miles/kms does your car have and what year? Just wondering at what age of car does it usually fail. Did you have a used part to replace or new?
