    Welcome to PriusChat!!

    Not all OBD2 scanners are fully compatible with toyota hybrids. Many DIYers will use a 'mini-vci' cable (20 usd) and techstream (dealer technician software) installed on a windows device. Some might use a bluetooth adapter with a App like Dr Prius or Hybrid Assistant.

    If going the bluetooth route, be sure to buy a quality device : Hybrid battery diagnostic and repair tool for Toyota and Lexus

    Once you've recorded the stored OBD2 codes (DTCs), post them in this thread for additional guidance.
    Dr Prius isn't picking up the stored OBD2 codes (DTCs) in the computers (ECUs)?

    Have tried clearing the codes, or disconnecting the 12v for a couple of minutes to see if the warning lights are displayed again?
