    Hi everyone,


    I drive a 2013 Prius II with 188k miles. Two weeks ago while driving for a few hours I got the "Check hybrid system" message. I pulled over and the car wouldn't go into drive or reverse. I restarted it and I was able to drive home. I attached OBD2 and got the code P261B which I've read is the waterpump, but I also ran some test with the Dr.Prius app and got a different code P0A0F and some more errors "Poor Balance Block #9" "Weak Block Detected:7". I can't really pinpoint what P0A0F could be. I've driven the car for a few since and it seems fine. The check engine and check hybrid message went away. I watch the coolant temp and it's been normal. How should I proceed other than changing the waterpump? Thank you in advance
