    So here is the story. Red triangle, engine lights with a bunch of orange lights eg VSC abs. Scanned code P0a93 indicating inverter coolant pump problem. Replaced the pump, drained all coolant and added new. Bleeding system until solid coolant came out of the bleeding valve.
    Started the car fine with all warning lights off. However after driving for 1 min, VSC ABS and (!) lights on. Every time when starting the car, all warning lights off but came back on after short drive.
    Suspect the 12v battery problem, so replaced it. However those three lights still came back on after short driving. Btw the red brake light is always off.
    Scanned no code found.
    any ideas?

    If you have the warning lights on and then scanned and found no trouble codes, it means that the scan tool that you are using is not good enough to scan all the dozen or more different systems in your Prius. You need a better scan tool. Read this thread:
