    I need help I've got a gen 2 2006 prius that randomly as I was braking from 90kmh to take a turnoff all of a sudden popped a lot of warning lights and the red triangle. Engine cut out and wouldn't start again since. Luckilly I was relatively close to home so I could drive home on electic motor but I'm at a loss as to what the cause might have been.
    I did test the crank manually and I am able to crank it by hand.

    Could this be a faulty 12v battery? Would it even work electric if the 12v was to blame?

    It's probably an inverter problem.
