I can't put Prius 2004 into drive or reverse after engine power goes on and parking brake is manually disengaged by foot. The parking brake light on the dash will not go off even after repeated turning car on and off. Am I doing something wrong in sequence of starting the car? Thanks.
No the P light ans system will always be on unless you command a drive or N funtion since there is no 'park' in the drive train only a mechanical brake. when running/on, when you put in drive it should acknoledge drive and P should unlock. if not you have trouble and need the dealer
Testimonial: "this was very helpful. Thanks. It finally went into drive after repeated tries. Good to know there is no actual nonmechanical parking brak"
