    I have a 2002 Prius and when I try to shift, it's like it's not engaging into gear. The shifter is very easy to shift with no resistance at all. When I do shift into a gear like reverse, the square box around the R blinks and the car does not move. It will shift to, say neutral, but it doesn't go into neutral. I hope I've explained clear enough. When shifting into drive gear, the same thing, will not engage into gear. Any suggestions or answers would be greatly appreciated

    Should have check engine lights and all that lit up You need the capable scanner to read the 21 or so computers in the car on the can bus and get all the information you need there's a lot of reasons the car won't go into gear hyper isolation fault other type of hybrid battery problems 12 volt not being 12 volts You don't have 12 point something volts on your 12 volt you don't have 12 volts short to 12 volt and then take a reading of it If it's not over 10 you got problems it should recover the 12 very quickly Good luck
