I have a 2007 Toyota Prius. When I press the brake pedal and press the start button the engine does not start or the wheels are not powered by the battery. It gives me the following errors; The indicator in the Start button lights in Amber Color. 0 kmph mark is not activated in the dash board pannel. When I shift the gears it only shifts to neutral ("N") gear. I cant move the car forward or backward. An error message is displayed in the MFD in Japanese language. It is in Japanese and I cant read the error message. Can anybody translate this message to English and give me advice what to do with this? I really appreciate that as I am stucked with this car with out a propper dealer in my country. I can't post a link to the picture of the error message as I am still new to this site. Hope you would be able to help me. Please help..
Sounds like your 12v battery is dead. Hook up a 12v charger and try and boot that way. Make sure you connect the 12v jumper polarity correctly. Incorrect polarity may irreversibly damage your inverter (~$3,000USD). You can use the jump start terminals under the hood.
