Hi, I have pulled codes off my vehicle listed above and this is what it is showing me:

ABS Codes

C1015-64
&
U3003-16

in the past 3 years the major repairs I've only done is replace the hybrid and 12v battery minus the brake pads and rotors and shocks for all wheels.

So you may have a defective 12 battery, so I would remove it and take it in to the auto parts store for testing, they do it for free.

C1015-64 - Brake Pedal Travel Sensor “A” Signal Plausibility Failure
U3003-16 - Control Module Power Input Under Voltage

Then I would clear the codes, if the C1015-64 comes back I would swap out the brake pedal sensor. Here is the location and how to do the repair.

Using the diagnostic scan tool, carry out the Regenerative Brake System Calibration routine.

Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response

Ok, I will try the battery replacement. then I will check the codes after I clear them, now I just have a basic diag machine do I need one with better options to conduct the regenerative brake system calibration?

You can check to see if your scanner has the option in the prompt, you never know. If not you will need to find a scanner that has this option.
