    Say, what app is that?

    It looks like it has freeze-frame buttons. Have you checked those?

    They already changed the battery with a used one, guess its no bueno? How about the cam code? is it related to a bad battery ?

    Hmmm. Autel MaxiAP200. See a number of complaints about the app having connection problems. But Autel makes scantools that have pretty good functionality for the price.

    I will have to check this out.

    not sure about the cam, because of the scanner. but most will pick up a bad battery.

    who changed it? what did they put in? how many years/miles ago?

    there's just no way of knowing for sure, without sub codes. but a used battery is a risk.

    a 2008 with 130k is just broken in. if it is the battery, i'd put a new one in, or cells from 'newpriusbatteries.com'
