    2005 Prius. Red Triangle and other lights on. Followed others postings. When put into Drive will not go to "D", and "Ready" and "0 mph" does not show. Battery checked and charged to 12.6v. All fuses checked. Shifter module checked. Display Error Codes - None. OBD2 with Prius Pid's show 12v ok, traction battery all cell at 15.6v. Battery fan cleaned. Converter pump has flow. OBD2 shows no error codes.
    Other than taking to Toyota, what else is there that I can tear apart and check. I have a 2009 Prius I can swap parts with if needed, but it ended with similar problems.

    Ideas?

    thanks

    There should be a code. What sort of scantool did you use?

    My idea is that you need to get Mini VCI so that you can retrieve the logged DTC.

    Mini VCI? What would the best way to go with that? Looks like quite a variety of cheap and some moderate priced ones. Looks like I would have to make a decision on software also. Are there just some electronics this would not check out, say like the EMU or whatever?
