2008 Toyota Prius Engine

Could be the water pump or the thermostat. Could simply need to have the cooling system flushed. What does the coolant look like?

Not sure think coolant was checked on at the shop before leaving and looked good

Ok. The battery wouldn't have anything to do with overheating.

What did you mean by it overheated? Normally if it overheats, you're not driving it 2 hours back home without the engine dying and seizing up.

Somehow engine got hot or overheated some light on the dashboard went off and had to turn around

Find a place that will pull both hard and soft codes from the computer. Let me know what you find out.

Okay cause it's a lot cooler now the signal that went off might not even go off anymore so just lettin you know might not pop up again

You'd be surprised at what the computer stores.

Alright took it out for a drive today check engine light is on and the engine is making a sound similar to the sound of a rocking chair. Any idea what's up

These just went off on the computer and dashboard

Do you have a Dropbox or OneDrive you could send those to? Our system appears to be having problems with images at the moment.

Unfortunately not :/ I'll try to explain best as possible. Check engine light on dashboard is on, including another light which doesn't say what it is with a red triangle with a red ! mark. On the trip computer an alarm went off flashing problem with a little red car.

Have it scanned for both hard and soft codes. Then let us know what they tell you/what you find.

Thanks for all the help took it to a auto shop this morning everything's getting looked at.
