    Toyota dealers are warranty specialists... They don't have the skill set to fix your car at an affordable price. I guarantee you they will charge you hundreds of dollars to do a sloppy diagnosis and recommend replacing the most expensive parts first so they can argue that your car will cost more to fix than it's worth and then try to hustle you into financing a new vehicle for a problem that some of us on Priuschat could fix for nearly free. Find a non car dealer mechanic with hybrid skills if you have to. @TMR-JWAP is pointing you in the right direction in this thread. Also here's an easy 12v load test you can do yourself:

    i think your battery is fine. so, if you have voltage at the jumper, and the car won't become ready, or connect to a reader, it gets more complicated.
    i would go back through tmr-jwaps posts and recheck everything.
