    My Prius gave me the triangle of death, though it's the yellow version, and check engine. When I did I found that the inverter fluid was gone, so I filled it back up. As it sat overnight it ran out again. It's going to the shop today. Is there anything I need to be on the lookout for? Never needed to have it taken in before. Thanks

    Also welcome to PC...has your Prius had the recall done for the inverter overheating issue? How many miles are on your car. Are you the original owner?
