    Hello. Just had the "Check Engine" light come on today, and I stopped in the local auto parts store and found 2 codes:

    C1242 - ABS $29 - Open Circuit In IG2 Circuit

    P0171 - ECM - Bank 1 System Too Lean

    It looks like the latter code (P0171) has happened before (I bought the car used), and I got some cleaner for the Mass Air Flow sensor which will hopefully help.

    Any suggestions on C1242? It was a very hot day here and I was in the middle of a bunch of little trips when the "Check Engine" light came on, don't know if that would matter.

    Edit to add: 2005 Prius. No other lights or anything came on. Added some detail to codes above.

    Thanks for the link. I replaced the 12v battery with a new Optima one just last year. System Check Mode shows proper aux battery voltages according to this procedure:
    Toyota Prius: How to Check the 12v Auxiliary Battery Health - PriusDIY.com

    Not sure what else I am capable of doing. Should I take it in, for someone to check the brake control power supply, etc.? Or just clear the code and see if it comes back?

    First, do the inexpensive things. Clearing the code and seeing if it comes back is one of them.
