None at all. I've never even seen one. You are even supposed to have all kinds of special tools and safety equiptment to work on them. We dont have any of the stuff. If someone breaks down around here with a hybrid they are screwed.
Screw it, it's not my car anyway.

Just tell them to change the batteries and stop trying to be tree hugging hippies.

Hybrids are not a big seller in farm country. At all. We could probaly figure it out if one came through here. It would just take longer, because we would have to look at the service manual the whole time. .

Is there a way to turn the key to find out the error code?

That might be it too. It is kind of impossible to tell without hooking up the diagnostic computer these days, on pretty much anything.

I bought one of those code readers. Fuck the dealer. Those motherfuckers charge you at least $80 just to read the code, fucking rip off.
The vehicles are supplied by a contractor and getting shit fixed is a pain in the ass so I'm waiting to hear back from our vehicle coordinator.
