    Codes C1259 and C1310 mean that there is a trouble code reported by the hybrid vehicle control ECU. The scanner that you are using is not capable of communicating with the hybrid vehicle control ECU. You need a better scanner to read all the trouble codes that the car is trying to tell you about. You are just guessing what the problem is until you read the trouble code(s) that are in the hybrid vehicle control ECU.

    What are the symptoms the car has?

    Brian thank you for responding to the thread, I see this is a recent one so will add and ask. I got a code reader that was supposed to also read battery information, well it doesn't. After the car (2009 Prius) needed a second jump start from the first about a week ago, the dash lit up with the red triangle exclamation, ABS, VSC, MFD had the exclamation auto. I know there are more codes but what I was able to read was C1259 and C1310. The 12v is about 2years old and is a toyota battery. So I can keep my change in my pocket, any thoughts?
