Toyota Yaris Battery Problem

We were gone for two weeks and on our return, I had to jump start out Toyota Yaris. After this the revs do not go higher than 2000 rpm, the roof light and radio is also dead. The yellow engine light is also on, on the dash. It does idle though and you can drive very slow. Did something blow? Where do I start looking?

Did you flash the battery? there is a specific way to hook up a booster battery you may have caused a surge ( voltage spike) that has done some damage, i would do a scan first to see if there are any set fault codes, start here.
