    Hi
    My 2005 prius red triangle light, battery fan, VSC, and ! symbol just came on. This is what happened in 2019 and a rebuilt drive battery by Greenbean fixed the problem until today. It drives sluggish. Greenbean say it's under warranty but the need evidence of P3000 or P0A80 codes to come fix it. My OBD2 code reader just have P116,1121,1123,1150 codes displayed which are not battery related or cause for the red triangle.
    Is there a better code reader that may find the hybrid problem???
    Any other suggestions on what may be the problem?
    I can't get into the dealer for a month. In my rural area nobody else works on prius
    Thanks
