    I got the problem with my horn and repaired it. I removed the airbag connector to remove the steering wheel and plugged the airbag connector correctly. but now I see the Airbag light and Vehicle slip indicator turned on. after that, i removed the 12V battery and plugged it back. but the issue was there still. after reconnecting the battery apart from the Airbag and Slip indicator, I am getting ABS light and (yellow ) parking brake warning light.

    sounds like something is messed up inside the steering wheel.

    Airbag isn't reset like a CEL, requires a different reset than a battery cycle. You had the car on when the airbag was unplugged and that's why this happened. Take it to a shop and have it reset.

    Thanks for that confirmation, you will need to have a shop reset the code because of that. Sorry that it will cost some shop time to have it done, no way around it that I know of. Some vehicles you can clear ABS and AirBag codes via jumping pins in the OBDII port. I'm not sure I'd attempt that or give directions to do that on the internet in a Prius with it's extensive electronics and sensitivity to those things.
