    Hey guys.

    I’m brand new to this, so brace yourself.

    mid interstate, the 2011 Prius brake system malfunction light, overheating, triangle of death, check hybrid system... all come on.

    tech stream has a ton of codes being thrown from the engine. Cylinder mistfires, and coolant pump malfunctions. White smoke from the engine, won’t move anywhere.

    mess bringing it to the mechanic this week for strange noise coming from the motor while stationary. Would stop when car wasn’t moving and AC wasn’t running.

    Any non-sarcastic help would be greatly appreciated for this newbie. Is it completely shot? Thanks in advance.

    Was this your first time pulling any codes in Techstream, or had you pulled some earlier before this latest round of excitement?

    Out of the rather large number of codes you've got now, it could be useful to know which were the ones that put in the earliest appearances.
