Master warning, check engine, VSC, and brake light came on today

Well I guess you're like a real young person or something He's repairs are all actually pretty easy It's like playing with Legos kind of just not pretty colors. I can't see your display from here and I think you can't take a picture and send it until a few posts. Most of this stuff is pretty easy stuff but maybe not if if there's no interest. So then everything becomes expensive AF generally these aren't starter cars unless you're really mechanically inclined having mechanical aptitude some electrical aptitude and a desire to make things happen That's a pretty good list of things to have in your arsenal actually Eugene Oregon You should be up near a guy named Old mage We can probably search him out on the internet He's an old Toyota head a good friend of mine He may be able to try and help you get on the right track The first thing you're going to need is a capable scanner for the Prius and that generally isn't bought at AutoZone or Menards or O'Reilly's there's a whole section here about which scanners work well with this type of vehicle and then you'll really get some clues sounds like your battery builder has got a module in there that's leaking to ground causing the hybrid isolation fault it really does and your battery guy will probably find it whoever that was $3,500 was quite a hit for a rebuilt battery generally they go for 6 to $1,300 each days so someone didn't do their due diligence they just allowed the hybrid shop to come in charge the mechanic who in turn charged you most of these places will come to your driveway so you would have had no mechanic charges basically You live and learn is what happens here It's kind of odd people have to live and learn like this after the car's almost 20 years old but it happens they're so reliable people think this is just the way they'll be until there's no more on the planet everything requires maintenance and repair most people try to get out of things when the maintenance and repair is becoming evident so they can get a new payment and continue this is one of the most reliable cars on the planet It's your job to keep it so or get something that you can work with Good luck.

 

$3500 for a refurbished HV battery is highway robbery. You could have gotten a new Toyota OEM battery installed at a dealership for the same price. What warranty did you get with the refurbished battery?

Ask the mechanic to give you the trouble codes that he finds after he scans the car. Come back and post the codes here. You will get additional help from forum members after you post the codes.

 

Is the battery really refurbished?
Or is it your old battery? A photo of the high-voltage battery modules posted in the chat would help determine this.

 

Yes.. really over priced. Battery at local dealership is 1.7k (genuine Toyota). Don't know how much they charge for replacement.

 

I don't think you can buy them for that price anymore. Prices went up not long ago, and the price seems to hover around the $2,200 mark.
