    When driving the vac, abs and brake warning lights go on, the cruise control stops working (and the green cruise symbol blinks) and regain stops working.

    Any ideas for trouble shooting my high milage but otherwise sound 2010 II?

    Thanks

    Troubleshooting step one on a Prius (or any modern car afaik) is to read the codes. The Prius can generate codes from the hybrid system that older code readers won't catch. But since this seems brake related, you can probably take advantage of the free code reading they do at auto parts stores.

    In his case, before you do anything else, if you haven't already done so, just check the level of your brake fluid.
