My 2008 Toyota Prius suddenly shuts off while I am driving and a warning light for the Hybrid system turns on. The mechanics diagnosed that this was caused because last week I ran out of gas.I dont buy this answer because at the moment the car shut down it had a full tank. It doesn't make any sense.

The ABS system is in need of immediate service. The hard pedal is the ABS/Hydraulics malfunctioning and beeping to let you know. Could be a sensor or module maybe a wiring/connection issue but have it serviced ASAP . A bad vacuum supply to the booster or booster diaphragm can also cause a hard pedal and any could light the warning light.
The computer monitor the system and recognized a problem. After so many years and miles the battery may go bad and computer send a massage. Or something ales is bad. Hard to guess w/o scanning for code. stop buy to dealer or mechanic wit good scanner and read the code.
The problem may be the check engine light only, whenever it turns on the master warning light may also turn on, if there is an autozone or similar autoparts place close by you can go there and they can diagnose the check engine light using their scantool, then you can reply here to me with the code numbers and I can help, the code numbers are important so please write them down.
This the hybrid master warning light, which means the system has detected a malfunction, there are many causes that turn the light on, there are about 24 computers involved, the best advise I can come up with is that you have the toyota dealer check this and diagnose it, this may also still be under the powertrain or hybrid vehicle warranty
some other garages can diagnose this problem m8 but its not wise as there not used to the system there gonna charge about 70pound to look at it, how old is the car? it might still be under warrenty, it should not have done to much damage though.
Hi. When you have that particular light on, you need to get the power steering motor checked. This is not something that a non-Toyota service shop can check out. You need to take it to a Toyota dealer. They can check the steering motor system, and diagnose exactly what the issue is. Unfortunatly, there is no other way you can check it, as there is not "pump" on the stweering, it is actually a small motor that runs the steering.
Seems to be alot of this problem mentioned on this forum regarding prius warning lights.
Don't worry yet might just be a service reminder.
Google " 2005 prius warning light " the first page will show a link to toyotapartsandservice.com where you can find the owners manual that covers all the warning lights.
Acording the online manual , that is the Hybrid system warning light. I havn't tracked down exactly what it means , but is is grouped in with other service reminders. Will add more info when i find it " Google 2005 prius warning light " one of the first listings has a link to toyotapartsandservice.com
