    Hello everyone, 20160105_195358.jpg

    My Toyota prius 2006 get red triangle light appears when I start the engine and it disappears when I drive the car. When I stop the car, it comes back again. The warning light is like in the picture I attached. Please help me with this issue.
    Thanks
    Mike

    This is an easy fix. It is no even a problem. Hatch in trunk doesn't closed all the way. That is the problem. You will see it more when turning and going down.

    I just checked it and I closed the trunk all the way and the light was still on.

    Agreed. Get the codes read and report back. Many auto parts stores will read the codes for free.
    Or else go to a local independent hybrid mechanic.
