    The pins on your OBD scanner ... are they plated? Do they look gold, tin, what?

    This happened to me. when I was plugging in a cable with cheap unplated pins. (Back when it was new, there was never a problem, but later it was the instant I plugged it in, every time.)

    If not, it can also be that certain scan tools probe for what kind of car they are in, and do it in ways that bother a Prius.

    I have other 2007 prius. I think that could be a bad conncetor inside the ODB plug or the PCM.

    How many miles are on the vehicle?

    What OBD2 scanner are you using to retrieve the above codes (DTCs) ?? (make, model, app, etc)
