    hello i am in need of help, please. two days ago i was traveling up a slight incline around 40 mph. what followed is the problem. my engine revved up then four warning lights came on traction light, the triangle light, brake failure light, check engine light and last the check hybrid system warning. i pulled off the side of the road turned the engine off. then turned it on again all warnings were still lit. all systems are normal except the obvious. i tried to drive a short distance. upon take up the engine will rev up until it gets above 40 and the engine speed levels out. i checked under the hood. it turns out i was low of break fluid. to which i add some to my reservoir. the problem is still there

    Need to have codes scanned, could be a number of things, HV battery failure, Transaxle failure, inverter issue, etc.
