    I just bought a used 2008 Prius Touring. I took it to a dealership to have the driver side mirror replaced and they performed a Health Check Summary. The summary says the following:

    Chassis Systems: Diagnostic Codes C1300, C2318, C1242

    Electrical Systems: Diagnostic Codes B1200, B1207, B1248, B1271.

    What do these mean and do I need to have these fixed?

    Thanks,
    Grayson

    No need to panic, first 3 DTC's are do a low 12v battery voltage at some point. The later ones come in every Prius I've ever seen, likely occur at assembly. No worries. :)
