check hybrid system stop the vehicle in a safe place

It could mean different things, depending on OBD2 fault code.. I've seen it from weak 12V battery, Water pump, inverter and hybrid traction battery.... But since the message hasn't shown back up since unplugged; I would start by checking 12V battery and local parts store should also perform the test as a free service..

You'll need a code reader, or go to local parts store have them read the OBD2 trouble code for you and usually a free service...

Good luck!

Door not closed all the way?

 

This has happened to my 2012 also but did not have any codes stored or pending took it to the dealer and they are baffled as well said they have never seen it I just had the brake booster replaced car has 227k I've had the hybrid battery replaced also I haven't heard back from dealer yet they were contacting Toyota Master engineer

 

Any update , I have same problem after brake module change .

 

What brake module was changed I'm just curious you mean the accumulator pump thingy or the actuator or the computer. I get that same nonsense if anything else is weird in the car like a doors cracked or not completely closed or if I open the door while it's in drive but I'm stopped with my foot on the brake I think it'll give me that black and white text on the screen please stop on a level surface check and put it in neutral whatever the hell I just closed the door and drive off that's the first thing I check because I'm in and out of my car a lot and my car door closes by barely touching it I touch it so gently that it doesn't close all the way and it's not completely latched I get that display

 

ABS Brake pump module , Connects to brake pedal and has brake lines going to booster along with module all in one.

 

I have 3 different code readers and all will power up but not link to computer for codes. Checked all fuses and had it towed to a shop with a guy the used to work at Toyota dealer and agreed that it should be ECM , I changed it and still Check hybrid system message on Screen , Dealer is 220km tow to get it there. Anything else I could try . (New 12v battery and ECM so far)
