Hello Joseph,

Here are the code meanings:

U0124 Lost Communication with Lateral Acceleration Sensor Module
U0073 one or more modules is not able to communicate
C1259 The skid control ECU assembly communicates with the hybrid vehicle control ECU

The first thing I would do is turn the system on and ten check all fuses here is a guide to help and the fuse location in the images below. Also is the 12-volt battery in good condition. I would turn the car off and test for 12 volts at the battery.

Here is a guide to help with that as well:

There should be about 12.4 volts at the battery. Please check the images below and get back to me.
