    Update: When I played recently with MVCI and Techstream, I discovered an active code in the ABS area: U0073. Looks like this is related to that adventure with ELM327. Weirdly, there is no ABS light and brakes work fine. I did find by googling that U0073 can be caused by damaged ABS ECU. Scary thing. I cleared the code and hope it doesn't come back.

    Engine does not run in neutral. Maybe it was in D momentarily and I believe you cannot run both wheels off the ground it will throw a skid or abs nag.

    Have had something similar on my Prius. sometimes their a bit like an old windows 98 computer. Shut it down, reboot and all is well. :)

    On a bit more serious note, I see your Prius is a 2010. Might it possible have a failing / failed brake accumulator ? The brake recall going on right now to replace the accumulaqtors, is for very early through October built 10 Prius .
