    I have a 2018 prius prime advanced (120K) and my teen daughter has the 2018 prius prime plus (132K).

    I changed her brakes (pads and rotors) after getting the car in October, 2024. I finally got around to changing mine yesterday, August 2nd 2025. I am quite confident I repeated the process step for step but my prius is flashing a plethora of warnings, making a constant alert noise, and telling me to stop driving b/c of low brake power.

    I tried the 4,13 pin reset to no avail. I welcome any advice from this wise crowd. I am no expert but interested in learning.

    There are additional sensors on my Advanced. Do these differences required different behavior on my part or did I incidentally disturb a sensor, or something else?...Thank you

    do the wheels spin freely when you jack it up? if so, i would go through your installation carefully, check the speed sensor wiring and harnesses, and if necessary, scan the trouble codes with tech stream or autel

    Start by connecting a scanner to the OBD2 port and read the trouble codes that the car is trying to tell you about.
