    I need some help. I have a 2007' Prius Gen2. Usually I have been repairing in the last seven years. Four weeks ago the inverter went awry. Yesterday I changed it, but the car didn't start. The Techstream didn't found any trouble code, but the slip indicator, ABS, and the check engine light on, when I push the brake pedal + power button. And nothing happens, the engine not starting. What could be the problem? Any idea how can I solve it?

    1. Make sure the orange traction battery interlock is correctly inserted, the lever pivoted 90 degrees, then slid down to lock in place.
    2. There must be diagnostic trouble codes logged with the warning lights on. You'll need to figure out why your version of Techstream is not retrieving those DTC.

    Did your 12 volt battery go dead because you left the doors open for days? Turn on the headlights see if there nice and bright.
