Hi Tony,

When the car is IG-OFF, the battery should be at 12.6V or better. A marginal battery can cause weird electrical problems, so it would be great if you could replace it.

If it turns out that this is not the problem, then you'll need to buy an OBD-II code reader to get some clues about the nature of your problem - or else have your car towed to the local Toyota dealer. Note that some generic code readers may be confused when plugged into Prius due to the multiple ECUs that potentially can produce trouble codes.

I have the same problem. The battery is Toyota OEM battery with a 3/11/17 date. I hooked up my NOCO G3500 and brought the battery back to life. So what code reader should you get?? Blue Driver? I have a Carista but I just got a replacement relay/fuse box so I want to check it with the proper OBD II reader.
