    I drove home tonight in my 2004 Prius (13500 miles), everything was fine, and then when I pulled into my driveway and came to a stop — bam — the Hybrid System Warning light pops on, the engine got loud and harsh, and I freaked out. This car has run perfectly without a hint of a problem. Well, I pulled out the manual and it said to stop the car immediately and call my deal. I will tomorrow morning.

    But can anyone tell me what might possibly have happened to my beloved Prius???

    Thanks,

    BH

    My 2004 Prius warning light went on and the dealer discovered that I had not put on the gas cap properly.

    Only what it says on pp127 of the manual:

    "This light comes on if there is a problem in the electric motor, inverter unit, hybrid vehicle battery, etc." Contact the dealer, and take it step by step. I'm sure they'll resolve the issue. Good luck!
