    Driving along all was fine, all of a sudden the engine light came on and the car didn't have enough power to climb up the hill.

    HV battery went to 1 bar red. Stopped and waited for the battery to get back in the blue again, then started driving again.
    All was fine, engine light remained on.

    Cane out of work and engine light has gone off, drove home, all fine.

    Checked DTC got P0351 P0352 P0353 P0354.
    I understand these point to ignition coil, could all of them fail at the same time or should I expect a more costly repair coming up?

    Thanks

    Do you know for sure that your reader can retrieve hybrid battery codes?

    And is it just the orange check engine light or are there other lights on too?

    It's only the little engine light, no other lights.
    I was using techstream on my laptop plugged into the car to read the codes

    Very odd to get all those simultaneously. For fun I'd give the harness a quick visual inspection.

    I've driven around all day today without issue, but I'll give it a visual once over. Thank you
