Check Hybrid System ...But Starts and Drives to 24mph

I honestly have very few mechanics who I trust, and those who I would trust are far too expensive for this vehicle.

I'd rather do the troubleshooting myself to the extent I can without TechStream.

I may just prepare to the sell vehicle with a disclaimer of this issue. The fact that there are probably two million 3rd Gen Prius on the road and the parts still cost $1200 new is a not a good indication of this vehicle's reduced operating cost. I can find innumerable cheap beater vehicles that get 30mpg or better and have normal brake master cylinders that cost $150 tops. If these types of parts prices are the future of hybrid and electric vehicles, I'm afraid us home mechanics will forever stay with gas burners.
