    SO today I was leaving work, when a student kindly pulled out into the side of me! The damage was minor, but will mean a new front wing (passenger side UK), and some bumper touch up, although the bumper pretty much undamaged...

    Thankfully no one hurt, which is the main thing.. After exchanging details and driving on I noticed that the 4 lights were on.. (VSC) (ABS) (O) and (!) :(

    When I pulled up at a light, the electric motor continues pulling, and will not shut off with the usual firm press of the break

    I read online about resetting so disconnected the battery for a few minuets.. This did not work and the lights remained on when I next "booted up" the car..

    I know I'll probably need the error codes read of at toyota, but does anyone know what this problem is..

    Oh, if it helps, its a 2004 with nearly 90K

    Those lights are most likely on for the same reason. Is there a way you can post some pictures? Doing so would help a lot.

    Ate you asking the right forum? I thought the Prius v (wagon) is new this year. Maybe you want one of the gen II or gen III forums?
