Prius (2004-09) :: Warning Lights Came On After Replaced Aux Battery

2005 Prius I picked up a few weeks ago decided to eat both of it's batteries for lunch and leave me high and dry. I replaced the aux battery yesterday which I was lucky to get at cost at the toyota dealer since the aux battery was original. Put it in and all was well with the car for the rest of the day. Got in it today and headed out and was welcomed with the big stupid "!" triangle, the regen brake warning, check engine light, "PROBLEM" written on the display with a picture of a "!" inside a car outline, and some severely reduced performance. So I looked online and found a place with a bunch of low mileage batteries out of smashed up 2009's.

Prius (2004-09) :: 12v Battery Replaced / All Warning Lights Still On

I have a 2007 Prius. We left for vacation for 2 weeks. Came home. Started the car and then all the lights came home. I thought the battery must have drained. But the lights are all on with a new battery. Is there a way to clear all these?

Prius (2004-09) :: HV Battery Cell Replaced But All Lights Came Again?

last week I got a whole array of warning lights, including the triangle of death. Took it in to my local mechanic who diagnosed it and told me it was the HV Battery. So, as a temporary fix, we did some DIY and just replaced the bad cell. Everything went well, just some minor troubles toward the end with the engine not turning on, which we fixed by switching the orange switch on the battery and disconnecting and then reconnecting the 12V battery. It was driving great, until u got to work this morning and all the lights came on again. What am I missing?

Prius (2004-09) :: Replaced 12volt Battery, Warning Lights Came On

My 2007 Prius suddenly lost power and all lights on the dash board light up. I had a "problem" error as well. Eventually a message came up stating there was a transmission P lock mechanism problem.

Long story short, realized the 12volt was dead and replaced it. However, the car is still not running after replacing the battery. It went once around the block fine, and then the same thing happened with all the lights (check engine, VSC, brake system, and !) and P lock mechanism warning. Disconnected the battery for 15 minutes and tried again. No luck.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2006 - Battery Replaced, Warning Lights Came On

2006 Toyota Prius 93000 miles

On 3/8/13 my Prius would not start. I read some information online and came to the conclusion I needed a new battery.

I started the car, and it immediately started up. I drove it for a very short time and parked it in the garage.

Today I started the car and drove it for about 5 minutes to a restaurant. I did some shopping and about 3 hours later I started the car and A Big Red Triangle appeared along with a yellow circle with an exclamation point in the center and the check engine light.

I immediately drove it to the Toyota Dealer 5 blocks away.

Prius (2004-09) :: Just Replaced 2 Bad Battery Cells / All Dash Lights On And Engine Won't Start

Tested and replaced 2 bad battery cells in my 2007 Prius... Got everything put back together and now all dash lights are on and engine won't start... When i try to shift into drive or reverse it goes directly into park... I tested the battery without removing the safety key and the inside terminals are at 220 volts and the outside terminals are at 0 volts as shown by photo... Maybe due to a fuse somewhere?

Prius (2004-09) :: Brake / ABS / VSC Lights Came On?

No reason, just came on this morning on the way to work. Driving at my lunch brake it 'fees' like the ABS and traction control isn't working...

I had a wheel sensor replaced 6 months ago when all the dashboard lights came on during a rainstorm.

Could this be another sensor...or maybe one that needs cleaning, going bad, etc.

I'm fairly handy with a wrench, but where to start?

Prius (2004-09) :: Brake / Triangle / ABS And VSC Lights Came On

Recently while pulling into the gas station the brake, Triangle !, ABS and VSC lights came on. The dealer reset the error and said my ECU needs replacement at a cost of $1843. The Prius is a 2005 with 147000 miles. No problems since the reset so I am hopefull. I don't recall reading about a lot of others having to have expensive ECU replacements so I wonder how many have had similar problems and replaced their ECU.

Prius (2004-09) :: Red Brake And Orange ABS Lights Came On

I had the brakes on my 2004 Prius replaced. Recently the red Brake light and the orange ABS Brake lights come on some of the time - but not all of the time. I took the car in to my local repair shop. They said it would cost $300 to diagnose the problem.

Prius (2004-09) :: Brake - Triangle - ABS - VCS Lights Came On?

Just bought 04 prius. Anyhow fast forward to yesterday and I am driving home and notice the Brake light, (!), ABS, VCS lights come on. I read a couple forums about bridging pins 4,13 to get codes and this is what I have. (!)69, 57 ABS 42, VSC 45

I tested the battery and it was 13.8 V on and around 12.3 or something off. I felt around where the inverter pump is and it feels like there something going on in the middle hose. I tried to look in the reservoir but honestly I couldn't get it pumping when I had the hood up so I couldn't confirm movement in the reservoir.

I reset the codes (stomping on brakes 8 times) and it went away until I started driving home again today and they;re back. I added a file the is the sounds I hear when pressing the brakes. Truthfully I hear this all the time when I turn off the prius. I just noticed though that when I hit the brakes I hear it now. In the sound file you hear a pause when I press and release the brake pedals and reapply.

Prius (2004-09) :: Parking Brake / VSC And ABS Lights Came On When Powered Up

I replaced brake pads on my 05 Prius Monday. The instructions I have say to pull 2 relays and pump and hold the brake pedal until I hear a buzz. This has worked fine the last time I did the brakes. This time I got the Brake, Parking brake,VSC and ABS lights when I powered up.

I did not open the hydraulic system, just push in the pistons. I test drove it then touched the brakes. The left front and right rear rotor/drums were hot but the others were not. Long story short, I want to reset the ABS system.

Prius (2004-09) :: Check Engine / VSC / ABS And Brake Lights All Came On

Our '09 generally gets short trips, though last weekend it had a long one. Last night it was fine my wife drove home from work, but when we tried to head out for the evening the check engine, VSC, ABS and brake lights all came on. Nothing funky on the MFD.

I ran the battery check procedure and the low value was 12.0 volts. The instructions here say it should be above 12, replace if below. Here we are on the edge?

My wife drove it to the dealer and complained that the brakes felt like they weren't working properly. Sounds like she had only hydraulic braking, no regen.

Prius (2004-09) :: ABS, VSC, Triangle And Parking Brake Lights On

I replaced my rear brake shoes this past weekend. Immediately after I replaced them, the ABS, VSC, ((!)), and Parking Brake lights came on. I had not read that I should've disconnected the 12V battery before changing the shoes, so I wonder if that's related to the issue. I've read through as many threads here that I could dig up, but I still have questions. Here is what I know so far:

Car Info: 2004, 210k miles, Original 12V battery

Relevant Info: While replacing the shoes, one of the seals(?) (rubber part that slid over the piston(?)) slid off. I put it back on, and have checked for any fluids leaking, and have found none. I may pull the rotors off and check this again, though. There were no DTCs logged prior to the shoe replacement. Battery has shown no signs of dying, although I am going to check the voltage on it after I post this.

I tried jumping the pins, and I get the following flash codes (I tried resetting, but they came back immediately):

ABS: 4-2
VSC: 4-5
((!)): 6-5

I tried finding information on these flash codes, but have found nothing...

My CHS Tank was damaged in an accident a few years ago. I just replaced the CHS tank and the Inverter Coolant Pump within the last 12 months. It is still running when I power the car on and off as it should. I also jumped the fuse with a paperclip to double check that it runs.
My brake fluid levels are fine right now.

Possibly unrelated to the lights, but applying the parking brake is very easy. I don't think I adjusted the star adjuster enough. This is my first time messing with drum brakes, so it's possible I didn't adjust that correctly. Are these self-adjusting, or do I need to go back and adjust them by hand?

Prius (2004-09) :: Master Warning / Brake / ABS And VSC Lights All Come On

Title says it all. Occasionally when I try to start my 2007 Prius (70k miles), the master warning light along with the brake, ABS, and VSC warning lights all come on. I'll turn my car off and then turn it back on and it will start right away.

One thing that I notice is that it seems like the headlights and/or the MFD is dimmer than usual when this happens. I'll turn off the headlights, turn on the car, wait for it to start, and then turn on the headlights and everything will work correctly.

Prius (2004-09) :: Brake - Triangle - ABS - VSC Lights On Dashboard?

I have done some maintenance on a recently purchased 2004 Prius. Namely, replaced the inverter cooling pump, the right front wheel bearing and rear brake pads.

At a certain point, the brake, (!), VSC and ABS lights came on on the dashboard.

My wife is driving this car so I did not get the exact moment when the lights came on after my repair jobs.

I then replaced the 12V battery with a new one and reset the lights with the PIN 4-13 jumper on the OBDII connector. I did retrieved the error codes of each light and I googled them without any result and I now lost the paper where I had then written on

Electrical-wiring - Acura - Rl - Gauges - Starters :: 1997, Battery And Brake Lights Came On After Alternator Replaced

I got my Alternator replaced last week. Last night, I hit a very small bump, not even large enough to really cause me to slow down, and as soon as I did, my battery and brake lights came on. My RPM gauge also jumped around and eventually went to 0 until I stopped and put the car in park. (The bump might just be a coincidence who knows). So after all this happened, I turned off my car, tried to restart and got nothing. Sometimes I get a click, sometimes 2 clicks up to 4-6 consecutive clicks. Every few times I won't even get a click, just a slight attempt to start, then the car dies, then 2 seconds later all my lights and radio etc. come back on. My problem here is a few things:

1. I've been told it could be the starter. If it's the start, those dashboard lights shouldn't have came on right? just the STARTING portion of the car.
2. I've been told it could be the battery.

Well If i got my alternator tested and Advance said it was working, Why would my battery be dead? And if it WAS dead, wouldn't my lights have went dim or something else happen to the car?

Prius (2004-09) :: Brake / ABS Lights On When Car Started After Being Parked For 3 Weeks

I parked my car (outside) and went on a business trip for three weeks. When I came back last week, when I turned the car on, the brake light and the ABS light were on. And it hasn't turned off since.

The car was working fine and didn't show any sign of troubles prior to me parking it, no funky light was on. What could be the cause? It wasn't driven during three weeks. What could have deteriorated to cause these lights to come on? The car seems to be braking fine.

FYI, before getting to my car last week, after leaving parked for three weeks, I mistakenly pressed the Panic button. And I didn't realize that the Panic button got stuck and was continuously in circuit. And it stayed like this for an hour before I realized what happened and fixed it. Not that I think that it can have an influence on my current problem, but thought I would mention it anyway...
