HV battery voltage is 303v while is ruining,it has a new set of cells ( new generation of battery's) i have replace inverter converter from a good running prius i had, also i have replace the HV Control computer located under front passenger foot but after replacing HV computer car did not start so i couldn't check the computer, with all this information could any one give me some idea what to do and what do you think, by the way my next plan is to replace transmission, If you know how to check the transmission on this vehicle to see if thats the problem or not will be a BIG help thank you very much in advance.

Go to an auto parts store and they will run a diagnostic test for you for free. It may be that the gas cap needs to be replaced. That was the case on my 2002 Toyota Avalon when the check engine light stayed on.

Hi guys, i just but a 2001 Prius with180,000 mile, It starts and runs but dose not drives, when i move the shifter to D or R position nothing happens, , in the other hand when you leave the car running...

i don't think it's the battery. i would start with the basics on your project. surely there must be voltage regulator. i would start in this area. there also maybe a transfer area to power-train system. this tells it when to engage. hope this directs you in the right direction. I don't have a solution but tips on what to check. thank you.

A warning light appear with my hibrid prius

I have same engine problem. Triangle signal pop up after I try to start my Prius with a still wet air filter to the car . The engine just run for less than 30 sec. and stopped with the triangle signe pop up. I think this sign will pop up whenever the engine detect certain major function failure. For my case, it was due to retricted air supply to the engine. I have tried Lovebytes suggestion and the triangle sign disappeared with a dry clean filter. My Prius is running good now. This warnig sign may have other implications. Once you try this method and sign still come on. You need to have your car check by garage.
Bellow attach is the answer from Lovebites

Toyota Prius 2001 Warning Light With Exclamation Mark on a car.

I had the same problem. I removed the relays from the fusebox under the bonnet/hood (top left side) and then replaced them. All working OK now. Sometimes I have had a problem when I start the car (especially after rainy day) the petrol engine immediately dies and I can only drive in electric. I have found that if I turn the ignition off and then restart it and immediately pump the accelerator it makes the engine run OK. Hope this helps.
