    I have a 2008 Prius. It has been giving me an engine light intermittently while I am driving. My mechanic could not get an error code to show. It mostly happens while braking or while driving a right hand curve on roads at speed. Other than trusting it to a Dealership mechanic, do you have any suggestions as to what might be happening? I am grasping at straws here, but I am hopeful for any information.

    Check the engine oil level, and the brake fluid level.

    I'd suggest you look at your oil level and make sure it's not low. That can trigger an intermittent light while driving
