    Hello!

    Hoping for some help here. I recently had to jump my Prius due to cold weather and not running the car for over a week. After the jump my display showed “Problem” followed by red text “P/S” which I assume means power steering. Also the dash has the red brake light, red triangle, and ABS on.

    I have been driving it with the lights on now for several days. Today I pressed the brakes fast and heard my wheels squeal. Pretty confident the ABS system is not working. Power Steering doesn’t seem any different to me but not quite sure.

    I went to Autozone and had no codes. They told me I need a different reader to pull codes for the electronic components. Does anyone have any advice on how I can resolve this? Seems weird to me that so many lights would go on just because the battery died.

    i hope you didn't reverse the polarity by mistake?

    the autel 200 reader should work.autel-maxi-ap200-go-buy-this.232861
    otherwise, you'll need toyota tech stream, or a shop that has it for the correct codes and sub codes

    I don’t have a reader to check one of the codes

    Reverse the polarity? Do you mean I mixed up the positive and negative cables when jumping?

    Well you need to get a code reader That's one thing a Prius owner is going to need AP200 comes to mind there are others I think maybe you're off track with the PS I don't even know what that's about that came up on your center display I guess PS and then what there should be some text park on a level surface something. I didn't know that there was a PS warning anyway I don't think that's power steering I've got a car with messed up power steering now and there's no codes no anything nothing on the display etc so I'll have to look that up and see what that PS is about but I'm thinking not about power steering and all the lights you have on generally have something to do with the brake actuator system.
