    Today when turned on ignition dash lights dimmed down.? Soon as I started lights came back to normal. I then pulled 11 codes. Cleared them and car idled normal. Drove car a mile and my gauge shows 305v but dash icon shows battery not full. Only a 301 misfire code. Don’t trust a short trip yet

    A weak 12v battery will cause all kinds of strange issues with the prius. I would pull the 12v battery, bench charge it and load test it outside the car. If its more than a few years old id replace it. The prius is also very sensitive to resistance in wiring, any corrosion in the 12v and traction battery system can cause lots of strange and intermittent issues due to the change in resistance.
