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

I had the same problem. I unplugged the relays from the fuse/relay box under the bonnet. (Top left side) and replaced them. The problem disappeared. (2001 Prius 109,000 miles)

STOP engine light. There is something seriously wrong so do not operate/drive the vehicle before finding and repairing whatever is causing this light to come on!

Prius 2005 triangle indication

The Triangle indication:
Description: MASTER WARNING LIGHT.
The battery ECU has a self-diagnosis system. If the computer, High Voltage (HV) battery system or the components are not working properly, the ECU carries out a diagnosis to detect the malfunction, and illuminates the master warning light in the combination meter together with the HV system warning indicator on the multi information display.
NOTE:
The master warning light illuminates when the HV battery system fails and it blinks when in inspection mode.

I have toyota prius 2008 suddenly start showing little red triangle and green car display on the battery diagram gone red from green please any body knows about it..

I had the same problem, Check the inverter coolant pump.
Most probably , the pump must be not working.
How to check the coolant pump?
Closer to the inverter , there is clear plastic bottle filled with red colour solution.
Now open the lid while on start and check whether the water is moving.
If the water is not moving , then definitly the solution is to replace the coolant water pump.
I hope you can correct it.
good luck.

What does it mean warning light TRIANGLE WITH SNOW on TOYOTA PRIUS 20 dashboard

Hello,
There is absolutely nothing wrong with your car. It's actually keeping you safe! If the outside ambient temperature is +37F or lower, your car knows this and gives a warning for possible black ice conditions. Lots of people wonder the same thing, next time it shows the warning, note the outside temp to see if it's below +37F.

I hope this info helps!

2003 Prius Hybrid System Warning Light

My Toyota Prius hybrid warning light has come on three times in eight years. If I turn the car off for 20 minutes, the hybrid light is off but the check engine light is on. After a while, the check engine light goes off. I think this problem is related to moisture somehow entering the hybrid vent on the driver's side. All three times this has happened, the weather was wet. Kevin Cardiff
