    My 2010 Prius orange Triangle flashes and beeps when I make a sudden turn or brake. The car works normal otherwise. What could cause this to happen. I only started recently...

    Bingo.... I was low on oil.... too low.... I didn't think to check that. Must be a sensor in there. Now I am good to go. No more flashing when I swerve suddenly...
