    Vehicle was repaired after front end collision and I get no codes found on scanner, had some bad connectors which I replaced and codes went away. I don't get ready light and the dash lights do not cycle off (ABS, SRS, Check engine, Etc. Etc.) The car will shift into neutral but not drive or reverse. Has new Aux battery and Hybrid battery is showing two bars. Any ideas of what to check ? Thanks.

    Can you measure the voltage on the 12 volt battery? Bad brake light switch so that it doesn't detect you pushing on the brake?

    The 12 volt battery is 12.8 volts and was charged just to be sure. The brake lights do come on and car won't go into start mode without foot on brake which it does so I'm thinking the brake switch is working.

    Thread moved to the Gen II maintenance section from the Prius v forum and the second one you posted here has now been deleted.

    Did you refit all the fuses back, and check continuity?

    What are you using to pull trouble codes ? How was the vehicle safed down? Are you familiar with the Inverter/Converter interlock ? The interlock is often damaged tripped in a collision. You should have data for this if not you may need a more compatible scan tool. Get back to me and I will try to help you through this. It sounds minor. "Mac"
