2011 Prius with 30,000 October 30, 2012 at the first start of day when I pressed on brake pedal and got the green light on power button as usual I pressed power button and never got ready condition, trying to figure out what is happening I have had this condition occur almost every morning (outside air temp around 40 degrees F also when I went to train station to pick up my daughter I shut off for about ten minutes and it happened again. can anyone shed any light on this subject
Low 12 volt battery? Low key fob battery? Interference between key fob and car? Bad brake light switch? What if you hold the fob up to the power button trying to start the car?
I'd guess a faulty brake light switch or you're not pressing the brake pedal hard enough. I've done it where I pressed the power button a fraction of a second before I had my foot fully down on the brake pedal. Now I usually press the brake pedal and wait until the ABS pump stops whirring (2-3 seconds at most) before I press the power button.
Thank you percy, I will try that and see what happens, I have been doing this for a year now and just noticed this condition, but I will focus on the brake application to continue my investigation Jeff
This happened to me once, after draining the 12V for 30 mins. Did I drain my aux battery too low? | PriusChat
