Autozone's checker cannot pick up Toyota's Prius-specific codes. The dealer scanner software can do that.
If you post the codes from the dealer, users here can help guide you further.

 

Look for area hybrid specialists; usually cheaper. You can also get your own to use with a smartphone for just a few bucks but that will take a few days shipping. I don't use those so I'll let others recommend specifics.

All of those codes just mean one or more cells in your high voltage battery have failed.

Your 12volt battery appears to be working well as it is successfully started your hybrid system and reported trouble. It is not your primary problem.

Have you found a Code reader yet?

Well, one of the images above showed a C1259. That is nothing but a code stored in the braking computer to note that it has been told of some problem by the hybrid-vehicle computer. You don't get the rest of the story without querying for the exact codes stored in the HV computer—and it watches out for many, many possible problems besides failing battery modules.

If there were only one thing that every problem in a Prius ever turned out to be, the list of diagnostic codes would have one entry.

What we are trying to say is that without the trouble codes from the car telling what has failed, we are unable to intelligently assist further.
