Thank you for this! We have a 2014 and this video was 100% relevant. We used the dome light in a parking garage and the driver pulled out of the garage in bright sunlight while the passenger was destracted. Had a total brain fart on follow up. Car sat in garage 5 days without being started. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Lessons learned. Thank you thank you thank you. We got her started back up and will be very careful with that done light from now on.

Appreciate the mention of the brake fuse, I wouldn't have thought to check that as part of the troubleshooting.

Thank you brother. God bless you🙏🏽

Thank you so much that is exactly what happened to my car!

Watching from Trinidad and Tobago. Great info.

Hi Where is the brake fuse location ?

Hello sir, so I have 2014 toyota prius and I left the back seat lights on all night and when I wanted to start the car to drive two days after it won’t even have any lights or cat noise , so my question is will the main battery be recharged again? Or do I have to change the whole thing ?

You’re a life saver 🤧🙌

I have a 2010 prius it's doing that right now not starting up I will learn to jump this car if it kills me...

Does this work for Prius c

My 12-volt discharged; I got it jumped but I'm getting that "Malfunction -- put it onto flat surface (it already is) & parking brake" message. I've run it for 90+ minutes thinking I'd override it but I THINK I may have to unload everything in it to get to the 12-volt in the back, to disconnect it for awhile & then connect it again. Is that likely what I'll have to do in order to get past that 'flat surface' message so I can put it in gear? Is there any way to get the effect of "disconnecting the 12-volt" from the front access in engine compartment? Or any amount of letting it run & charge that will override that message (3 hours? 4? I'd do anything to avoid unloading the car to reach the 12-volt....)?

I appreciate this video! Thank you!

This worked my car started drove around a bit but then when I turned it off and turned it back on hours later it didn’t start again…. do I need a new battery

My 2010 prius turns on(electrical) but the engine wont turn on. I had to let AAA tow it. What do you think problem is?

Your video is such a live saver. Thanks a lot.

Bro i have got toyota prius 2014 i thought my battery was hone so replaced it with new 12v but still not going to ready mode please let me know what can be the issue.

really needed this video, thanks

The older model 04 05 06 07 08 you reboot by un plugging the white connectors from positive side of the 12 volt battery then plug back in and engine should start.

Worked - Thanks!

Did you check that your panel brightness switch on the left is turned up if it's turned down your lights on the dash will not illuminate and cabin light is always dim but it turned on so your battery is fine. There is no good video on KZfaq to explain to get out of accessory mode

Sir my prius sometimes have problem of not starting for 5 min and check engine light appears then it goes, i just confronted this in two days

it happended to me as well, and i run the car like you said. But whats gonna happen now, should we change the battery?

thanks that's very helpful

Worked great

Can it work for any Toyota prius

My 2012 Prius was overheating. I had a head gasket leak. So I changed the water pump cleared the codes and went for a drive. Everything was fine then I noticed the car was in EV mode and the gas engine shut off. The car died and wouldn't start. So I got towed and I disconnected that heavy white clip in the fuse box. someone said that this will clear the computer because the computer detected a issue within the charging system. So I did that and was so happy that the car started right up but now when I drive it, it happens all the time after driving 5 to 10 miles.

will a almost dead 12V battery cause "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" to appear ?

Thank you so much for the video! I got the exact same problem now. May I know what kind of jump starter you have? Or what kind of jump starter would you recommand? I have a Prius 2015. And doe this means that I need to replace the battery? THank you!

Mine is 2012 too , I change the regular battery.however it’s still dead, no light nothing .. what you guys think might be the problem

Why doesn't the amp display come on when I turn on my car?

Thank you. Life saving video....

So you jumped the car and it came on, but what was the problem? Did you have to get a new battery or was it the alternator?

Thank you for this video. But the issue recurs after I turn the car off and need to jack it again. Where is the issue ?

My catalyc comverter got stolen on my 2009 prius.. I drove like that for less than 2 miles and got red triangle with exclamation point on it. When that happened car started to loose power and eventually died on me:( right now I have it at a muffler shop where they will put another catalyc converter on but car still does not turn on..when I press on power button all the lights come on with rd d triangle like if car it's on but engine not on. Lights, radio and power windows work . The windows are slow though so I don't know if battery it's dying. If I remember I have one purple bar. Also keep getting a message about something that car needs to be on flat surface and something about the transmission . A while back it completely died on my while I was changing the passenger mirror, after I was done I gave it a jump and everything was good. This time it won't move from one purple bar even after a jumped it

I replaces the park switch and it won’t start still smh

I have the same problem from last 5 days. What is the solution for this? Help me please

Could you please advise me about following problem. my prius 2010 (old shape) switches on when started but wouldn't change to D mode or ready mode. I replaced the battery(12V), the scan doesnt highlight any issues, but after i remove the positive battery terminal and apply it back, it sometimes help in bringing car to D or ready mode. I ve had it inspected by so many mechanics but the issue persists and has really disturbed me, please if you could help?

Mine won’t start except I have no lights come on and no door chime. I tested the 12v battery and it’s testing fine. Tried to jump the car and it wouldn’t work.

Hey can I send you a personal video about my Toyota Prius 2006. Doing the same thing but I can’t seem to fix it it makes a clicking sound when I tried to start sounds like the brakes but I can never get it to say ready. It’s been parked for 4 years because the owner went to Cali in 2015. And now is sold to me. But I just need help!? I’ll Venmo you for advice!

Bonjour je suis maître mécanique et je voudrais si c'est possible de rester en contact direct avec vous. Merci d'avance

⚠️

if the car is intermittently doing something, or the door light is coming on then your car is IN FACT turning on.... totally irrelevent video for the topic.

You made the title of your video like you did some troubleshooting. Jumpstarting a battery is not that hard.
