Prius V :: Display Lights Up, Car Doesn't Start
Jan 12, 2015
On the weekend, I was trying to change the cabin air filter on my 2012 Prius v. I turned on the passenger vanity light so I could see a bit better, and I am fairly certain I forgot to turn it off when I was done. If the light was on, it would have been on for almost a day and a half, because I didn't drive the car the following day (Sunday). That being said, I was somewhat surprised as I thought that newer cars would cut all accessory power if you lock the car, so as not to drain the battery (guess not). Today, I tried to start the car and the display lights up, but just doesn't start.
I didn't have much time this morning to troubleshoot (was going to work) but I figure tonight I can get it into maintenance mode and get a reading of the battery from there. I am assuming I could just buy a battery charger/tender and charge it back up (i.e. instead of buying a new battery).

I noticed today shortly before turning off the car that the screen was lagging. Sometimes there was not even response. Radio turned on and off ok, but screen was not showing it. It would then display (after several seconds) the info, display, and audio. However, when I clicked the Climate one, the MFD said, "Check the condition to the air conditioner." However, when I used the driver's controls, it worked okay.
I then turned off the car, and when I turned it back on, everything appeared to be normal. The screen was significantly lagging.
Might this be an issue with the air conditioning itself. I mostly run the A/C on full blast on the MAX cold (sometimes Auto (LO temp, HI fan)). Temperature in the output vent (left center one) after 5-10 minutes: 48 degrees moving. Outside temperature between 100 and 110, so it's pretty hot too.

For the past 2 days, when I press the button to start my Prius after it's been in the garage all night (mid 40s-50s temp), I'll get only the seat belt light displayed - or the seat belt light then the others will slowly fade in! And sometimes the entire "Hybrid System" indicator display doesn't show up at all. And it won't start or, if it does, won't shut off.
If it does start, and I drive then park and turn it off, when I go to start it after just a few minutes, say at the grocery store, everything comes on fine.

My uncle just bought this used 2004 Prius for me (with my money) and I'm having some issues.
The car makes some weird noises and I've made a video. Also I think the battery is dying because sometimes the speedo doesn't display and I have to disconnect the battery to get it to come back. The Brake vsc and some other indicator lights also came on. I reset them but they came back in week or so.

My 2009 Silverado 1500 with only 12,000 miles has begun intermittent display of all warning lights that are normally seen at start up. They stay on for 2-3 seconds and all gauges drop to -0-. When the warning lights go off, the gauges return to normal. It is not as prevalent after engine reaches normal operating temperature.

When I have my daytime running lights on, all is fine. When I switch to anything else on the stalk, including my night time head lights, it goes off, along with some temperature control background illumination. Only the shift icon stays on the MID. When I switch back to daytime running lights, everything goes back on.

Three intermittent problems with 2012 Prius Two.
1. Backup camera usually doesn't work but sometimes does.
2. Car 3 times has not gone into start when we press brake and power button. All the error lights go on. We keep trying, and eventually, it goes on and the problem does not often recur. The most recent time this was after stopping for a few minutes after hours of driving, so the battery should have been fully charged and everything warm. fter the second problem, the dealer checked it out, said the 12 v battery was fine and couldn't replicate a problem.
3. Just yesterday, with lights and window washers on, only the Ready light, the Gear indicator, and the headlight lamp were on. Everything else on the display was dark. No speed, no gas tank indicator, etc. Turning the headlights off and on fixed the problem for about 5 seconds, and then it recurred. This morning, with no rain and therefore no wipers, there was no problem, with or without the headlights.

My Escape is starting to have starting problems. I go to start it and all of the instrument cluster warning lights come on, but the truck doesn't start. If I wait a little while, all of the sudden it starts but all of the sudden the cluster lights start flashing, the various warning beeps sound off, the emergency flashers go off, etc. This lasts anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes until everything resets and goes back to normal. What is causing this?

My 2009 Prius was parked for two weeks. When I started yesterday the red triangular warning light, circular yellow light with exclamation symbol in center, and vsc warning lights did not go off. No previous problem with these. Top half of display screen blank. Vehicle started/ran normally. No change in handling or braking. On highway, cruise control would not activate.

Since I purchased my 2010 Prius new, it often won't start. As instructed, I press the brake, push the power button for a few seconds, and hope that the ready light will come on. Typically, the dashboard lights up but the ready light doesn't come on. It can take ten minutes or more to get the car started. This happens when the car is cold, or has been sitting for a while, or randomly at other times. The Toyota service department will only address the problem if they can replicate it. I've left it at the service department for a couple of days until they experienced the problem. They reset a computer component which worked for three months. Now the issue is happening again and I'm back to trying to convince Toyota that it's a problem.

Don't know how to increase the brightness of the interior clock/temp display. Mine is fairly dim and doesn't seem to be adjustable in the instrument settings anywhere.

I just purchase a 2002 SC430 with only two (minor) issues. First: the radio display does not work. Everything else is fine. The CD changer works, the radio works, the steering column controls work. The display is blank. Lexus solution is 650$ for a new radio. Seems like there should be a simpler fix.
Second, the panel covering the display does not come down. I can pull it down, and it will go back up with the push of the button. But it will not go back down. Again Lexus fix is 700$. I guess I can keep pulling it down for that price, but how was it resolved.

I always have my car in DRL, and just noticed last night to today that it doesn't turn on immediately when I start the car, however it does seem to turn on a few minutes after the car starts rolling. I'm sure before it turned on immediately with the car. Maybe 12v going weak?

The PRIUS Remote Start turns off as soon as you open the car door. Then you have to turn on the car again.

Aside from spending $ to have the polarity reversed on the HVAC display, is there anything be done to darken the display letters and numerals? In the daylight this thing is unreadable. Very poor design by Toyota. Any little tricks that I don't know about?

Occasionally, right after I start the car, the HDD display screen will be dark for a minute or two, and then display the map. I can go to the other screens, like Audio or the setup screens, but the map and the backup camera screens are dark. The still-functional buttons are responsive as usual (no delays/hangs). When the map finally "wakes up", it behaves normally. I don't have to do anything other than wait for it to wake up. It does this about 10% of the time. I have tried to correlate this to something, but it seems totally random.

Not the usual. I stopped on my way home to get gas tonight when the gauge was showing one pip. Naturally it wasn't low, but I'm used to that.
The odd thing is that after I got in the car and turned it back on the gauge stayed at one pip and the fuel display on the multi-function display didn't reset.

Audio doesn't resume upon selecting Radio or Media from the display?
Instead, we have to press the volume **** and then select radio or media, adding a step.

I had my car shipped (probably 8 days without being driven) and it has a flashing P when they try to start it, and the engine doesn't come on. Nothing happens if they try to shift to D but they say they can get it into Neutral and then roll the car.

Sometimes when I hit the start button it takes a couple of minutes for the AC to start blowing air. I even tried stopping and shutting off and restarting but it still took a few minutes to start blowing. It doesn't do this all the time just every now and then.
