Hi there. With a hybrid, it’s quite possible that the warning light is being triggered due to a malfunctioning sensor or that a sensor has detected a fault somewhere in the fuel or ignition system. It is possible that the fuel or air filter being dirty might have triggered the warning light. If those services need to be completed, I would start there. If this clears up your problem, fantastic. If not, please have a professional mechanic complete a warning light inspection so they can download the codes that triggered this alert and located the source of the issue.
