This just happened not too long ago. How fucked am I? My 2001 Toyota Prius.

You're fucked in the head for owning a Prius.
>>
>>14582087
>buying a used prius

why?
>>
>>14582087
Could be a bad 12v battery?
>>
>>14582174
I did replace that not too long ago. Could be that. The place I got it from was kinda off.
>>
>>14582087
>How fucked am I?

Anywhere between 'you're not' and 'monumentally'.

Get an OBDII scanner, or take it to a shop that has one, and have them produce the codes.

Then come and talk.

Does anybody know what this indicates?

The car is exclaiming
Right in the middle

Chances are the generators/battery pack went to shit, since it's common for that to happen to Prius' over 10 years old anyway.
>>
>>14582788
RTFM
>>
>>14582880
This, and OP is afraid to admit it.
>>
>>14583032

Enjoy wasting $2k on a prius
>>
>>14583194
I'm just going to by another car. It was my first car. Didn't really give a shit.
>>
>>14583202

You're going to buy another car because a warning light popped up?
>>
>>14583209
Bypass the battery, it's still got a petrol rngine.
>>
>>14583209
The hybrid battery is dead. That's a major expense

>>14583223
But then he has a FWD Toyota. Now is his chance for a real car. Like a fox body.
>>
>>14583235
>Like a fox body.

You misspelled W124 Merc.
>>
>>14583235
>fox
>real car
Choose one
>>
>>14583235
>The hybrid battery is dead. That's a major expense
Cheaper than a new car. Alternatively, JZ swap and turbo it for the most unexpected sleeper.
>>
>>14583235

Seems a little drastic to assume the worst from a few warning lights. How about figuring out exactly what they mean?
>>
>>14583250
>not a w123
>>
>>14583235
It's like 1500 bucks senpai. Just fix it.
>>
>>14583293
If it's the battery pack. It could just be battery system related. Take it to the dealer and get them to look at it.
>>
So, I turned on my car and the light no longer on. Shit, I'm scared. I don't want to buy another car. It's getting up there though. I don't think it is worth buy a new battery.
>>
>>14583235
This whole thread is fucking 13 years old. Nobody will daily a fox unless they're mentally retarded. The prius isn't the best car but it's damn better than some of these suggestions. Yeah lets daily a V8 compared to a 4cyl.

>>14583235

retard of the night spotted

Very fucked.

Nah, powerstroke diesel and roll coal for maximum lolz
>>
>>14582087
>>14582463
This warning is known to come on after leaving the 12V battery disconnected for too long. The ECU then loses its memory.
>>
>>14586487
It can be removed by revving the engine in drive. The ECU needs to relearn something the fuel injection.
>>
>>14582510
this is one of the reasons I still browse /o/

bravo m8

Have you checked smug levels?
