Hi All Car is stuck at wife's work2008 Lexus RX 400H
Turn car on, turn to start ,ready light flashes for a second then off/ check eng light on says P/S
and the middle section lower by odometer had a picture of the hybrid battery about 3/4 full
on the trans selector dial ABS BRAKE Anti skid icon and a info exclamation mark in a circle
I have a scanner that can do global OBD2 Lexus enhanced and abs
I checked for codes in all 3 systems and had no codes
Checked 12 v battery and put jumper power pack on to make sure had enough 12v I have changed the trans fluid on front and rear Toyota WS fluid I had abs code previously for a rh front sensor I removed it and cleaned it and the tone wheel
Any ideas on what to do next ?

1. post in hybrid section
2. A comma is a punctuation mark that indicates a pause in a sentence or separates items in a list. A comma is also used before the words "and" or "but" to join two independent clauses.
3. what year?
4. I safely bet 12V is dead or dying. All those Christmas lights are normally coming along when this happens. 12V has nothing to do with starting car, but feeds all the crucial electronics so if it low on charge - 11.7 is considered threshold - system will throw a fit. MANY similar situations were resolved by 12V replacement. Oh, and because it's a deep cycle battery, it's not easily checked with a voltmeter. You can try jumping car, via large fuse box in engine bay. There is large copper bus/nut in the center of it, that';s your (+) and then any known good (-) on the engine somewhere.

Probably time to get the car to your trusted mechanic or the Lexus dealership. Good luck!
