Hi. I have recently baught a 2009 prius 2 from a 3rd party and am facing an problem with my car from last week. The problem was very random earlier and now it is happening more frequently. When i start the Car, a red exclamation mark appears in a red triangle and the intensity of odometer light is very less. Some times i notice a car making a beep sound when i opne the car front driver door to get out of the car. Can you please help me in understanding what might be wrong here..am newbiw and your inputs would help ighly. Thanks, Sri
Please run the test at Weird stuff happening? MPGs dropping? Test The Battery | PriusChat after the car has sat MANY hours or overnight. Please tell us the 3 values (not just 1). Don't go changing the battery first until you tell us the values... If you have HIDs, you can avoid unnecessary cycles on the lights by toggling between off and parking light positions. Weird stuff can start happening w/a low or bad 12 volt. Don't waste $ on having a dealer "test" the 12 volt (07 Prius Dead - Any Guesses? | PriusChat).
Follow what cwerdna said. What you are describing has been mentioned before by many. The test will confirm or disprove what the normal solution is. Weird stuff happening? MPGs dropping? Test The Battery | PriusChat Run the test after the vehicle has set overnight, and please post all three (3) values. Ron
