================================ For anyone who encounter this problem......the gear can be moved to N by slamming the driver's door a few time (I did it 4 times).........Toyota had this problem on older model and I got this from Toyota...did it and it worked. Car to taking to Toyota repair shop and fixed. But all they have on my repair ticket is Codes U0110, U0293, C1259 & C1310. Anyone can help with the meaning of these repair codes? Thanks Charles

I have a 2010 Prius with 7,000 miles and I had a post on this site a problem with the P Parking malfunction and my gear flashing on the dashboard. I was able to move the gear to N and had the car taking to Toyota repair shop. They fixed the car and told me all was OK but that is all I got from them. On my repair ticket all it says is scan system and found codes U0110, U0293, C1259, C 1310...........what do they mean? Also, I travel a lot and have to leave my car at the Airport for 8-14 days at the time. Anyone knows if there is a way to put asleep the electronics so, I don't run the 12V battery dry? I love my car but I now am a slave to it and have to plan my trips so the battery does not run dry......not too good Thanks for anyone helping me with the codes and long parking issue Charles

I have a new 2010 Prius, the car has 7000 miles and is not a year old yet. I travel a lot and sometimes I am gone for 10 days or more. I have this problem with the 12 volt battery that gets low within 8 days. So, it creates problem with my car and the system. Up to now I only had to recharge the battery and the car started no problem....but today I get this warning that is on the 2010 owner manual on page 510 " P Lock Malfuction when parking, park in flat place and apply parking brake securely" the car is parked on a flat floor but the problem is I cannot get the stick to move from P to D....it is flashing on the dashboard and stuck on P?? Someone told me I need to reboot the system and to do this I have to disconnect the battery for a couple hours then the system will reboot and I should be OK......Anyone can help me on this? I am lost and I love the car and would love it more if Toyota did something about this 12 V battery not staying charged more than 8 days if the car is not used. Thanks I appreciate the help as I am lost Charles
