    I have a 2005 prius with 38,160 miles

    I started it and shut it off and then tried restarting and now does not want to start. The ready light does not go on and the start button becomes orange.

    I ckecked my 12 volt and it gave a reading of 12.2 volts.
    These are the engine codes that come up:
    U0111 comes up twice
    C0200
    C1259
    C1310

    Any ideas what this problem could be?

    How about a little history on the car with so few miles? How long have you had it?

    If the 12.2V was with power on, then it's good. If that was with the car off, it's very bad.

    I don't think it is good anytime...

    12.2 with the car off is bad because the battery is dead.
    12.2 with the car READY is bad because the inverter isn't charging it up to 13.8-14.2

    If you checked with the car in READY, then inverter or battery. If you checked with car not in READY (most normal), then it is the 12v battery.

    Your symptoms sound like a bad 12v, your readings indicate a bad 12v, so if it quacks like a duck...
