    You need to see what diagnostic trouble codes were logged by the two electronic control units that manage the traction battery and the hybrid power train.

    Too funny. This is a slow moving comedic train wreck.

    You know, the mini VCI cable (that comes with a hacked pirated copy of Techstream Toyota diagnostic software), available off eBay, that has been been mentioned since page 1.

    Read this for more information on setting up Techstream and using the min VCI cable.
    TundraTalk.net - Toyota Tundra Discussion Forum - View Single Post - Offical TechStream software thread( settings and such)

    Whatever laptop you install this hacked copy of Techstream on, this should be a spare junker laptop to be only used for Toyota diagnosis. Assume the software has malware on it tracking all your keystrokes and reporting to some criminal organization trying to steal your identity/financial information; definitely no log-in/password entries (email, banking, etc).

    Do NOT let anyone one bleed the brakes on your Prius, as the Prius is a unique braking system that REQUIRES Techstream to properly bleed the brakes.

    If you can, get a copy of the official Prius repair manual from Toyota:
    TIS
    You might have to try the Toyota South Africa or Toyota Europe website, given your stated location of Zambia.

    Good luck.
