Just drove my 2012 Camry hybrid

Ca to Tennessee and my car has
just cut off on me, and push
button start/green ready light
goes out and car cuts off Check
Hybrid System light comes on and
after popping hood engine seems
warmer than usual the hybrid
battery not so much??

I am able to take the cables off
the 12 volt battery in the trunk and
reset system and it will come
back on and run for a few miles
and then continues the same
symptoms and results please
help!!! I know it's electrical
problem because nothing's
happened to my car and all of a
sudden I've got my dashboard lit
up like a Christmas tree with the
VSC light on brake lights on a few
other lights along with the green
ready light say something

I'm hoping it's something simple
can't really afford Toyota
dealership maintenance thanks

Toyota's have a drive off period after replacing a battery, or Jumpstarting a dead one, for approximately 30 miles. Until then you will show all lights on your dash, including Check Engine, VSC, DSC, etc. Judging from your symptoms, I would guess you have a bad main battery (DO not mistake this with the Hybrid Battery, as these generally are good for 200-300k miles and are much higher in cost to replace) My suggestion would be to get a new battery asap for your Camry. Drive for 30 miles, and all should be good.

The manual says to make sure the odometer readout is on the Trip A setting. Turn off the car with the main power button. Then while holding down the trip reset button, turn the power on the car (I did not depress the brake pedal) and continue holding the trip reset button until the odometer flashes 000000. This worked for me.
