I have an elcheapo chinese one that I think I paid $10 or so for and with the free Torque Lite app and some internet searching was able to successfully look up and clear a code on a 2007 Suzuki SX4.

Thanks!

Am looking for one suitable for Prius and able to check HV batteries.

I have had a few over years but none would read the Toyota imports. Most Toyota Imports have different standard.  Last year I bought an Icarsoft unit and that one does read the the Toyota imports like my Toyota Corolla Spacio. They have several units so need to make sure you get the correct one

I have the ELM327 type one that is probably what floydbloke has. Cost about nothing on Aliexpress. Works fine on most cars, but didn't work on a 90's era Nissan Terrano diesel. It connects to the free app on your phone via bluetooth and allows you to read all the sensors, clear faults etc.

A google on "ELM327 Prius" suggests it will work. Now that I think of it I don't think I ever have had cause to plug it into our Prado, which tells you something about Toyota reliability!

Bit of a bugger as that thing costs $$$ and uses a cable wheres the ELM327 cheapies have wireless and a nice user configurable panel on the Torque app...

Thanks for the responses. I should have indicated that the 2004 Prius was New Zealand new and not an import. Maybe that might have helped with the answers. I have taken a look at the iCar products and am waiting for a response on the cheaper scanners.

@garyasta If you're anywhere near Wellington or Whitby you're welcome to borrow my knock-off and try it with one of the free apps.

Hi floydbloke

Thanks for the offer but I am in the Kaitaia area. I am still making general enquiries regarding which might foot the bill. One of the iCar android modules might do the job.
