    Hello everyone

    My 2012 Prius battery in boot died, I replaced with new battery, car starts up drives but all dashboard light are on abs, air bag, power steering light, triangle warning,.

    Also gears on dashboard do not show as moving from park to neutral to drive or reverse, but physically the car drives, reverses etc only on dashboard it doesn't indicate when you move the gears ???

    Anyone know what is reason for this

    Appreciate any solutions

    Thanks

    welcome!

    not sure, but it might be worth testing the 12v, and connections, especially neg to ground.

    it is a small battery. how long had the car been off when you measured it?

    even 12.5 is low for a new battery, but serviceable.

    put a charge on it, and see where it winds up. should be around 13 v.

    Arm chair guess...there are 2 fuse-able links on your positive battery terminal "connector" that might be worth a look. Short of that and what was already offered, get the DTC code pulled because something's not talking...or forgot.
