    Replace ABS #2 relay now. DTC C1313 is pointing to that.

    If DTC P0607 persists after you replace the relay you may need to replace the hybrid vehicle ECU as well.

    OK. Is there a preferred site to buy from? And when you say now does that mean there is a possible unsafe situation I need to worry about? I just don't want to put my wife and kids in it if its unsafe. Also is abs relay 1 & 2 the same part numbers? I'm not at the car so I can't pull them right now.

    Thanks for the help.

    I say "now" because the Prius is continuing to experience the same problem. It's up to you to decide whether you want your wife/family to deal with that or not. Of course you could swap cars with her while you are figuring out what to do with the Prius.

    I buy my Toyota parts from AutoNation Toyota Gulf Freeway, Houston, TX. Just call the parts dept and ask for their price on the ABS #2 relay.

    Or try to find the relay on their website: AutoNation Toyota Gulf Freeway Parts

    Replaced relay last night and the dash lights came on again this morning but the cruise light wasn't flashing as before.
    As soon as she gets home I'm gonna scan it. I will let you know the diagnosis. This thing is gonna drive me nuts.

    Now its c1249 open circuit in stop light switch circuit. This seems like it always happens when she's in a drive thru.

    I'm going to go bang my head now.

    Replace the stop light switch which is located near the brake pedal assembly. You may need a crowfoot wrench of the appropriate metric size.

    It is certainly possible your car had two separate issues.

    In post #28 I suggested that you replace the brake light switch. Did you do that replacement back in January?

    And the problem went away from that point, until the beginning of May?

    That's correct. The codes have been few and far between at times.

    DTC P0607 is a code that appeared in the photos you posted in January as well as today. That code did not appear in your OP.

    P0607 means that the hybrid vehicle ECU has a failure. The ECU has two processors. The code is logged when the two processors do not agree that the brake pedal has been depressed to stop the cruise control function. At this point the cruise control feature is disabled and the DTC is logged.

    You could buy a new HV ECU (89981-47212) for $277 here:
    2006 Toyota Prius Parts - AutoNation Toyota Gulf Freeway Parts

    Or you could buy a used HV ECU for $77 here:
    06 09 Prius Hybrid Vehicle Control Module LKQ | eBay

    If you are serious about a DIY repair, I suggest you download the relevant info at techinfo.toyota.com as you will need to disassemble much of the dashboard to gain access to the HV ECU located behind the glove compartment. Verify the part number on the original equipment ECU before you buy a replacement.

    Hmmmm.... Im a serious DIY but I have never liked taking the dash out of things. Its always a pain to do by yourself.
    The parts cheap enough but Im gonna have to think about this one.

    As always, thanks for the help.

    Are there any driveability symptoms other than the warning lights being on? If not, then I suppose you can continue to drive the car as-is for a while while you consider whether you want to perform that ECU swap.

    You might also want to make sure that your brake light switch is actually working, by parking so that you can see the reflection of the rear lights in your rear view mirror, and pressing the brake pedal to test the switch's operation.
