Yesterday, started it up, began backing down the driveway, controlling speed with a little pressure on the brake. There was momentary weirdness, like the brakes had sort-of let go, then gripped again. And then got the warning "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" and a yellow triangle (inverted?) with exclamation mark.
I tried maybe 3 restarts, but the warning persisted. Phoned the dealership, booked-up Saturday, but they said they'd (commendably) squeeze it in. So we brought it in, when they eventually got to it they read the codes, cleared them, test drive, said it appeared the computer(s) "lost contact" momentarily, and it seemed ok.
I got in and started driving home, down the back lane first. Car started making a VERY strange buzzing sound, coming from under the hood. By the end of the lane I decided I better circle back to the dealership, pulled in at the curb in front, left it running and raised the hood, the hood support rod was loose, laying over the engine, doing a dance.

I've got a 2009 Prius with 67k miles on it. The car has a salvage title, but has given me over 20k+ worry free miles. The past few days the car has been acting a bit odd (i'm not sure if these are related or not but I figured I'd just throw it out there as well).... The right front headlight has been on the fritz as well as the wireless door opener has been working sparsely (sometime it wont lock, sometimes it will). I just ran the test to make sure teh 12V battery was okay, and all of the voltages came back in the "normal" range.

This morning I started my 2008 Prius (approx. 31k miles) and found the big red triangle with an exclamation mark and check engine light turned on.
I drove my car <1 mile to a smog check station where they ran a diagnostic on it and came back with the P0A9C code.
A quick internet search turns up that this is "HYBRID BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR "A" RANGE/PERFORMANCE."

My wife was driving our 2009 prius this morning. she said the red triangle, this other yellow circled, light with an ! came on plus in the display window the car icon with the ! came on. Manual states that this is a hybrid system failure.
On very cold mornings the car smells very hot for a period of time. She said this happened again.
I tried to do a reset (turning it off and on atleast 4 times) did not work. So I had it towed to a dealer tonight and I started it again and this time very hot smelling and a whole lot more lights were on, ( brakes lights, almost all of the lights I would say.)

I was driving on the freeway in houston yesterday and it was about 30 degrees. The low temperature light was on... Does it make a difference when it is cold? Why would there be a light to tell u that it is cold outside?
Anyways as I was driving on the freeway the red triangle with an exclamation mark came on and disappeared. Then a minute later it went on again and on the navi screen shows high coolant temperature symbol on it. But then it would turn off right away too so is this normal because I was kind of slowing down on the freeway and the book did say something but I don't think it was an excessive speed or anything.

So at about 147k miles, triangle comes on. It's the icon on the right with the car and exclam! mark through it. Turned off radio. listened to car and I could swear that it was running differently, but it might be in my head (I was kind of freaking). Drove to my Prius guy in the I.E. (20 miles) car seemed to act OK. Was using elec engine when needed and gas engine was fine. Was a bit shocked by how good the car was running but I was sure something sinister was happening and at any minute the car would melt. After 1.5 hours and a 20 mile test drive.

Just got a "Check hybrid system" message and the triangle of death is on my 2010 Prius -- but I can still drive it...
Toyota's Emergency Response Guide says this error is triggering by the ground fault monitor that is connected to the 12v aux battery.
HV battery pack ( HV battery fuse, two 12v relay)
HV battery inverter/converter

First off I have a 2010 with about 11,000 miles and it has been running great since I got it. This morning I was greeted with the "Yellow triangle" and the "check hybrid system warning". The car started fine and I pulled out of the garage under battery as usual and then the engine kicked in also as usual, everything seemed normal except for the warning lights. Since I have a long commute I just took my wife's car and got to work and did a forum search on this issue. I called my wife and had her turn the car on and off three times and she said it cleared the yellow triangle and check hybrid system but it still had the check engine light on. She also said the car seemed to be running fine and shes driving around town in it. I couldn't find anything on the check engine light. Is it ok to drive it?

I've been using my prius 2008 very smoothly till today. It was 100F+ in Austin and very hot. The car, suddenly lit up all the warning lights: Engine, Red Exclamation, Hybrid, and brake lights. The brakes kept beeping on both sides. I also heard an engine noise that is quite uncommon for prius. I stopped the car in a parking lot.
I came back in an hour and tried to start the car. I only saw 2 lights now: Red Exclamation, and Engine check. It might some "click" noise when I started, and after that it was fine. I drove for a while and everything was fine but the 2 warning lights were still on. I tried starting and stopping few times. I did experience the clicks (1-2) and the engine noise. The engine noise lasted 15-30 seconds and then it was back to normal.
I followed the youtube video to look up the diagnostics (Display pressed + lights on/off 3 times) to check the 12V battery. It read 13.8 V. I recently had an oil change at Toyota dealership less than 500 miles back. So I am baffled at this point. I have about ~60K miles and it's a 2008 model. So if it's a hybrid battery issue, I am covered.

I recently purchased a second-hand Prius T4 (2007 model) and I noticed that the red triangle exclamation was showing on the dashboard. Initially, my local mechanic found a P3000 error code and a B1801 error code.
I ran techstream on it just last night and the main errors that came out were:
Current codes:
Srs airbag B1801 - open circuit in driver side circuit
Air conditioner B1421
Transmission control - C2318
History codes:
HV battery - POA84
I also have just found out that this car was in a major collision in 2012. The air bag light is constantly on, along with the red triangle exclamation, on the dashboard. The fuses for the battery fan kit, horn, and air bag needed replacing (I think all three but definitely two of these).

I got "check Hybrid System" error with all sensors are yellow on the dashboard of my 2011 Prius with 80k odometer reading. Currently no Hybrid system, only petrol engine works.

I just bought a 2006 prius. It had 2 bad cells in the battery pack. I replaced the cells and all seems to be well, they all read the same voltage and the car appears to be driving, charging, working.
I still have the red exclamation mark and check engine light. The only code I get says to replace hybrid battery pack.
There are no other specific codes or issues and it runs perfect. Basically I guess what I am asking is how to clear the light or figure out why the light is still on!

My boss has an 08 Tiguan and he got an error light on his dash coming to work today. It's yellow with an exclamation mark in the centre. On both side's there's a solid line and on the bottom it's got a "squiggly" line.
What it might be or if this is something known about them? He states there's no performance loss or anything acting up at all. Short of bringing it to a dealer which will be closed by the time we're both off work I thought I would start here.

I ran out of gas in my 2011 Prius and immediately all warning lights came on as well as the "check hybrid system" light. After filling the gas I read similar threads on here and trouble shooted the battery. 12v Battery tested good, so now what is the next step? I also did a reset on the 12v battery and that didn't work.

I'm at 138,000 miles on my Prius, just got oil changed, 12v replaced in 2014, water pump replaced in 2015. I
I've noticed over the past couple days the mpg has gone down from 39 to 36. Yesterday I was 25 away from my work at gas station and when I pulled out a red triangle w/ exclamation came up along with check engine, VSC and orange exclamation with circle around it. I drove to my work and it didn't seem like performance was different.
When I got to work I turned it off and back on and all lights were still lit. After my shift I went to leave and it was same thing. When I went to reverse it felt like a tug, I pulled about half way out then pulled back in cause I didn't want to get stranded.

Check engine light, red triangle with exclamation, and on the monitor a red box with a picture of a car with exclamation came on after changing the rear brakes. I checked the water flow control valve and water pump. Don't know what else to check.

When i was driving my 2005 Toyota Prius the Red Triangle, the ((!)) light, the vsc light, and the check engine light came on. I let it sit for sixteen hours without driving it and everything went back to normal. Three days later i was driving and the same lights came on. I let it sit again for sixteen hours without driving and it was still there.
When i was driving i recognized there was a terrible lag, and if i was driving for awhile it took me about one minute to get up to 45 miles an hour. It felt like i was driving in first gear or something.
I also noticed if i had the Heating and air conditioning off that hot air would pump from my back right, which is the seat behind the passenger, that vent was blasting out hot air.
I took it in to toyota and they said the water pump was bad So they replaced it, after replacing it more codes came up and one of them told them to replace the Hybrid Battery Pack which is 3,419 dollars.
I Drove it out of there today thinking that some of the problem was fixed with the lagging of the acceleration and the heating coming from the vents but it was not. I was reading online and everything pointed to the inverter pump where the engine is not being properly cooled, which would explain the excessive heat and the lagging. They claim it still is the battery, but i was watching the battery on the dashboard navigation system and it seems to be driving and recharging fine.
