    Replace the HV pack, most likely.

    welcome!
    check the oil level, check the inverter fluid reservoir for movement in the fluid when in ready, read the trouble codes with a prius aware scanner. how many km on her?

    The big red triangle means the car has a code. A good OnBoard Diagnostic scanner will tell which code was set.
    They tend to have the format ANNNN Where A is a Letter and N is a Number in Hexadecimal from 0 to F.

    If your mechanic gives you the code it is easy to look them up online to confirm their diagnosis. So a P0A80 may mean you need a new HV Battery. (sometimes there are detailed sub codes that can help more.

    I can't check the inverter fluid reservoir for movement because it didn't go on ready

    HOW TO CHECK INVERTER PUMP:
    1) Prop open engine hood.
    2) Open inverter reservoir (that opaque coolant container, next to the big square silver thing in the middle of the engine compartment).
    3) Visually look inside the inverter reservoir. NOTE the calmness of the coolant inside this reservoir.
    4) Make the car IG-ON or READY.
    5) Visually look inside the inverter reservoir again. Do you see fluid movement? It should have a flow rate like a calm tranquil stream.
    6) If it is quiet enough, you may even hear the inverter pump; its sounds like an aquarium air pump.
    7) DO YOU SEE FLUID MOVEMENT in the inverter reservoir? Do you hear the inverter pump? If yes (fluid movement), Inverter pump is GOOD. If NO (fluid movement), inverter pump is bad and needs to be replaced.

    A failed inverter pump will produce different symptoms (ie A/C shutting off) and the same warning icon
    ( [​IMG] ) on the MFD (Multi-Function Display) in the top left corner, when the inverter begins to overheat.
