    My '07 Prius was running fine until . . . Pulled into the driveway and shut down then decided to back in some more. Powered ON and ABS and also the BRAKE light came on - car would not shift and the shift indicator & fuel gage started BLINKING. Shut down and repowered with same results.
    I've checked the 12 volt supply and it is 12.7, even added a second battery to the engine bay jump start. I used an OBDII reader and get no codes only an E. No improvement and I'm dead in the water in Aguanga California.

    Any Suggestions please.

    Try disconnecting the 12 battery for a couple of minutes then reconnect and try again (you'll have to reset the radio and perhaps auto window function).

    Thanks JeffD but I've tried that - event jumped pins on the OBDII conector as suggested but it hasn't got me going yet.

    If you're in northern CA, Luscious Garage and Art's Automotive are good independent Prius repair facilities.
