    The following set of error codes all occurred today during a 180 mile drive with a 2007 Prius.
    At one point, the Park/Reverse/Neutral/Drive/B indicator started blinking and the vehicle lost power until it was turned off then back on.

    Hybrid Control
    P0A1D-615 - Hybrid Powertrain Control Module
    P3000-123 - Battery Control System
    U0100-212 - Lost Communication with ECM/PCM "A"
    U0111-208 - Lost Communication with Battery Energy Control Module "A"
    U0129-222 - Lost Communication with Brake System Control Module

    Engine and ECT
    P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
    U0293 - Lost Communication with Hybrid Vehicle Control System

    Cruise Control
    U0129 - Lost Communication with Brake System Control Module

    ABS/VSC/TRAC
    U0293 - Lost Communication with Hybrid Vehicle Control System

    Any ideas what could cause so many communication failures? lost com with vehicle.png errorcodes-generic.png u0293.png u0129-brakes.png p0420-pg5-5.png p0420-pg4-5.png p0420-pg3-5.png p0420-pg2-5.png p0420-pg1-5.png u0129.png u0111.png u0100.png p3000.png P0A1D.png errorcodes.png

    Was any port in use? That is to say, I once bought a cheap OBDII Bluetooth adapter and ended up getting some very strange communication problems when I plugged it into my '07 Prius - seemed like the cheap unit hosed the comms bus. Unplugged it and everything went back to normal.

    I had an OBDLink MX plugged in at the time with Torque Pro running on the phone. I did notice it was having some trouble communicating with the car.
