My 2004 prius abs and brake light came on and the
well, a hard firm pedal, usually indicates a bad brake booster or a vacuum leak to booster or the vacuum check valve, on booster. TO TEST BRAKE BOOSTER; pump brakes several times with engine off to deplete stored vacuum. turn on engine with pushing slightly on pedal. you should feel the pedal fade away a bit and then become firm, but not hard. if you feel nothing at the pedal when engine starts the booster is at fault. good-luck !!

Air conditioning goes on and off
One of the most common reasons for then the Ac compressor to shut off/down is a low freon level. Does it blow cold air while it is in operation? If the freon level is ok, you could also have a cycling switch failure. It would be uncommon for the compressor to operarte normally for a while and then not work properly if the freon level is adequate
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.
