2005-2009 Prius ABS Actuator Replacement (C1256 & C1391) SAVE $$$!!!!

Thanks for the vid. No music please. This is a complicated process, and I often replay bits to review.

Anyone doing this should know that you can pull the wiper arms, bezel and a few 10mm bolts later the entire wiper assembly is out. Area is very open and accessible. Had to go after a rattling heat shield on the header pipes yesterday.

Inverted Reality o yea, it’s been a few months and still going strong, I was a bit worried about getting a refurbished part but it’s been good to me. Hope yours works out as well.

So removing those will give enough access to replace the ABS part?

@@1nvertedReality I've heard that, that is supposed to sound like when you press the brake but not while in motion or constantly as shown in the video.

Looking at the ABS pump you have to remove the brake lines and brake line bracket from the left side and on the right side you have to remove the auxiliary heater core pump which is bolted to the large bracket on the right side of the ABS pump

[@jonathanrice-exec11]

Mine's been making that noise, as well as a wood pecker/knock sound for a while. Got these codes yesterday (128,000 miles). I flashed the codes and plan on driving it until I get the problem consistently. Thanks for the video! I'll follow it when I have to do it

Would you happen to know what is the cause of the woodpecker sound? I hear it in my vehicle once I turn off the car.

FYI Although some on KZbin want to be "different" the background "music" is too much.....Did I miss or not view or see the following... the physical removal/replacement of said ABS module... Brake fluid removed/replaced with bleed out ....However nailed the Inverter removal/replacement....FYI also I am of the thinking that said ABS module "noise" "chatter" "chirping" may be the coming and /or partial failure of 12 volt DC motor (silver cover) bearing/ carbon brush contain within ABS pump actuator module

[@gushilin]

Thank you for your video. My car has the same fault as yours. I refer to your video and bought a refurbished abs pump. But after I replaced it, when I did not perform bleeding, the fault codes C1256, C1253, And after opening the main driver's door, there was a continuous sound of high-pitched warning, which was very ear-piercing. This noise does not disappear. Does this mean that my newly bought abs pump is damaged, or is it because I did not perform bleeding? Now I may wait for the bleeding to see the effect, but I see that most people do not have any warning including my c1256 c1253 without bleeding, so I have little hope. I am hesitating whether I need to purchase an abs pump replacement again, which makes me at a loss. Thank you for your help

Did the actuator make that noise constantly before or at the same time the lights came on? Will the breaks work if the actuator fails?

Yea that’s how it started, it would make the noise more often than normal and then the lights would come on once in a while. After that the lights would stay on full time. Brakes still worked tho.
