Toyota Prius Battery (Check Hybrid System) Here's a great example of how NOT to kill the battery on your Toyota Prius. Prius problems, how to fix them. Prius won't start? Does your Prius have the dreaded triangle of death? You might just be out of gas... Get the exact tool I use to test my battery life here: https://amzn.to/4o1hYAE I took a long trip in my 2010 Toyota Prius and was soon stuck with the "check hybrid system" warning light. After trying to replace the 12v battery with no luck I realized that my gas gauge was faulty and that I only needed to refill the gas and reset the computer. The Prius is known for having faulty gas gauges, always fill your Prius up completely. It even says it in the owners manual, never just add a few gallons because the gas gauge can be inaccurate.
