    Was in truck and left ignition on. Didn’t think much of it because I’m used to “gearing” it in hybrid mode with no engine sounds.

    Wasn’t until the truck lost power that I realized what had happened. I thought no big deal I’ll just wait a couple minutes and fire it up. Worst case scenario, I’ll have to jump it.
    First couple attempts at restart didn’t work. But it fired up on third attempt.

    But, I got a check engine and hybrid system error light. I disconnected the battery and it cleared the hybrid error but the check engine is still on and I can’t seem to clear it.

    Curious if anyone has had this issue.

    Not that exact issue, but was it supper hot in your area when this happened?

    I had a weird experience today when my Hybrid would not engage the electric motor and made a clicking sounds. When driving in normal speeds it was okay but it has been HOT and I mean HOT 110+ degrees

    No. I love in Colorado mountains. It was in 50s.

    Just noticed that cruise control isn’t working and hybrid system doesn’t engine for some reason either.

    I think I managed to clear the code or it cleared it on its own?

    Will see if it comes up again. o_O

    I had the same issue
    My battery was drained but it didn’t start as yours so we charged the battery instead of jump start
    First there was 2 warnings with the engine light on: hybrid malfunction and electric control malfunction
    Next day hybrid malfunction gone however hybrid still not working
    After I see your comments I checked the cruise and it is not working
    Today I disconnect the battery for 15 mins hoping to reset the engine light
    Unfortunately nothing changed
    Still engine light on
    Hybrid not working
    Cruise not working
    Monday I will bring to servise (today I brought it to service and tell the story and they gave an appointment for Monday morning)
    I hope they can fix it

    Did you do any specific thing to reset or it happened by itself?
    Thank you

    Update:
    I visited auto zone and advance auto parts to clear the code
    Unfortunately both told that they don’t clear the codes
    I had an appointment today with Toyota
    I left the truck to the service and mentioned that the hybrid is not working and the cruise is not working and told them may be first just try to clear the code
    However they said they can’t do that, they need to find the real problem first
    They just called me and said that they just opened a case with tech/engineering
    They said code gave them the problem is with the fluid pump inside the transmission and if this is the case they need to install a new transmission (not the pump)
    They are waiting confirmation from tech/engineering
    Again I asked them just to clear the code maybe it is an easy fix but they said no
    And for the cruise they said there is nothing wrong with the cruise, it is because of the engine light
    So we will wait for the tech/eng response
