My '07 Prius was running fine until . . . Pulled into the driveway and shut down then decided to back in some more. Powered ON and ABS and also the BRAKE light came on - car would not shift and the shift indicator & fuel gage started BLINKING. Shut down and repowered with same results. I've checked the 12 volt supply and it is 12.7, even added a second battery to the engine bay jump start. I used an OBDII reader and get no codes only an E. No improvement and I'm dead in the water in Aguanga California. Any Suggestions please.
Try disconnecting the 12 battery for a couple of minutes then reconnect and try again (you'll have to reset the radio and perhaps auto window function). JeffD
disconnecting the 12 battery for a couple of minutes then reconnect Thanks JeffD but I've tried that - event jumped pins on the OBDII conector as suggested but it hasn't got me going yet.
If you're in northern CA, Luscious Garage and Art's Automotive are good independent Prius repair facilities. JeffD
Hi Aguanga, Where you able to fix described problem. I'm going through the same thing. Any help would be much appreciated!!!
If you scroll to the very bottom of this page: Blink (a/k/a Flash) Codes – How to. | PriusChat a link is there about different fuel gauge blink patterns and what they tell you.
HI ChapmanF, Thank you much for the heads up. Went through the whole posted information but nothing applied to my problem. What I have done so far is disconnected the 12 volt battery for a couple of days, reconnected again and the same problem appeared; blinking Shift and Fuel bars. Right after that, my car died on my second try. Now there's no sign of life,except for the door open light on dashboard. Definitely l'm officially frustrated
