    Hello Prius Chat, long time reader first time poster.

    I have a 2nd Gen Prius 2008 (around 300,000 miles) that won't start unless the 12v battery is disconnected each time. Regular code readers won't pull any codes, so I managed to get TechStream running and got lots of codes! The combination meter is sadly usually dark but still comes on every once in a while.

    First Triangle of Death (ToD): Started while parked and idling in a hot parking lot. The AC was on full blast with cold air, then notice the engine had turned off and was blowing warm air.

    I've tested all the fuses I could find for continuity, haven't found any bad ones yet. The 12v battery is new and only a few months old.

    The car will run after disconnecting and reconnecting the 12v battery but almost always pops the ToD after driving a bit.

    The other day I noticed the ToD tripped while the car was just idling for a few minutes.

    If my destination is less than 5 miles, not in stop and go traffic, and driving at steady pace, I can sometimes make it without tripping the ToD. Too many stops and the ToD pops much sooner.

    I'm new to TechStream and only ran the Health Check. I haven't tried deleting any of the codes yet, figured I'd ask here first for advice.

    Attached is the excel export from TechStream.

    What do y'all think? Could the new 12v battery be causing all this? A friend has a 2006 Prius... I can try driving with a different 12v battery and see if the ToD pops. Will I need to clear the codes first?

    Thanks!!
