2012 Toyota Prius V Hydraulic Booster DIY

This video is for you DIYers at home that don't want to send your car to a shop to be worked on. The 2012 Toyota Prius V Hydraulic booster is a pretty easy repair if you have a background in brakes and a good feel for usage on a scanner. I definitely recommend not doing this repair if you don't have a mechanical background at all.

Awesome video. Worked like a charm. The brake lines are difficult to get threaded correctly and easily cross threaded, which I did, bummer. I'm still way ahead of the game $150 for a used actuator and about 4 hours to do the job. Toyota wanted $2,300 to do the job on my 2010 with 225,000 miles.

I was getting the Autel MS906TS scanner, but noticed something. The ABS module needs to be programmed from old unit data. Did not see you cover this in the video - Any reason why? With that in mind Autel said to use MS909, MS919 - Do you know if these are any good (eg will handle re-calibration, bleeding okay). 2010 Prius - regular

Not sure i need this part but every video i watch has different tips. Nobody mentions disconnecting the battery or the zero down procedure

2010 Prius here; Just started getting the christmas brake lights with C1391 code. 230k miles so out of the extended warranty for this issues. Going to try changing out the Brake pump booster (pn# 47070-47050). Any tips? Thanks for the video!

[@toolguywy]

Tips...hmm... My first tip would take it to a shop and get a proper diagnosis. I usually dont recommend throwing parts at a car especially with a pretty expensive part. If the shop does condemn it and they are reputable I would suggest definitely thinking about it first before doing it and jumping in. If they diagnose wrong and you do it yourself it will be on you. So you really need to trust their diagnosis. If you do do it, take your time be patient. My first abs actuator was a pain. Make sure you have a proper scanner available and someone there who knows how to use a scanner. If you need any help just comment again ill try answer daily.

It was easy to use, did most of the things that the snapon did and in a lot of cases it did more such as adaptations, relearns and coding. It really depends which scanners youre comparing.

[@tombatty1964]

dude i need to replace 2010 prius actuator and pump how do i reprogram it afterwards

[@toolguywy]

Ive never had to "reprogram" the new brake actuator besides air bleeding, all the relearns are covered in the air bleeding procedure. You are going to have to bleed it properly with a scanner. If you don't use a scanner to command the actuator it wont fully bleed the air out of the system and if there is air in the brake actuator it will a throw a code for low pressure and you will still have an abs and trac light. The bleeding procedure itself should relearn/reprogram it. At the end of the procedure it should automatically relearn all the yaw rate and linear valve offset. Some scanners might be different, but through the snapon solus you can try do the "test mode" in functional tests which should run and relearn three things. When its relearning make sure that the trac and abs light blink rapidly, if it doesn't maybe theres still air in the system or something else is wrong besides the actuator. I hope that helps.

[@trumanrowley7566]

I just bought a brand new actuator and pump assembly and hired a mechanic to replace my bad ones. I have a 2010 Prius with 161k miles, so it is not covered by Toyota. The mechanic replaced the bad actuator and bled the brakes manually. Now I have three new error codes C1203, C1345, C1451. The mechanic thinks that I need to take it to the dealer to "reprogram the actuator". Does this sound right?

[@toolguywy]

Depends what scanner he’s using. I’ve run into that problem before. If he’s using he snapon did he try running it through “test mode” it relearned everything as well. If not sometimes the actuator will throw codes if there’s still air in the lines.

[@toolguywy]

But then again I have ran into 1 or 2 that needed to be taken to Toyota to be reprogrammed

[@TylerTheMoron]

Do you need to have a scanner to do this? Or can you get away with doing the bleeding process manually like with a normal car while putting the car in invalid mode? I've seen other videos do it manually but I'm not sure if it can apply to this process.

[@toolguywy]

you need a scanner. If you dont abs bleed it correctly there will still be an abs light and abs fault code.

I just had toyota replace the Accumulator or actuator whatever the entire system is that cost a fortune they should have paid for but I was just over the 150,000 mark..and they said the booster was not the issue... and now I still have the actuator pump going off every 15 seconds and a hissing sound at the boot. They said it is completely normal I’m bringing it back tomorrow and letting them know I live in this thing I would know if the pump is going off every 15 seconds 😆 Sounds like they replaced the wrong part that was causing the pump to go off. Since they replaced it the hiss around the pedal got even louder. 2010 Prius.

[@walkonearthofficial]

It’s funny because I was like I think it’s the booster but I’m not a mechanic so they charge me $100 to look at it and said it was the actuator.. or accumulator... (whatever that system is ) nothing like paying 1,800 and still having the issue that was driving you nuts hahaha!

[@toolguywy]

To be honest seems kinda normal though for the actuator to be going off every so often. what was the original issue as to why they changed out the actuator on the first place. The actuator is the "hydraulic booster" and the accumulator is this filter looking thing underneath by the pump.

[@toolguywy]

makes sense, abs deals with a lot like wheel speed sensor and other things. TBH I would say the only accurate way to diag it is with a scanner. The scanner will show you a general code such as "low pressure in actuator" or "wheel speed sensor RF" and thats where the diagnosis comes in play. You have to figure out what is causing the issue could be a connector or the actual part is bad itself.

Secondly there is no torque specs on prodemand alldata ect for a brake line torque spec. Thirdly Ive been in this field for a while and I never once met a technician who torques their brake lines nor has a brake line torque wrench. Torque spec for brake line: as the Germans like to say Goodntight

This That mechanic is a piss poor mechanic he didn’t use hoses to bleed the lines he let it spray all over the car who wants a car with oil all over it I would and if I found out that they did that I would make them clean up the mess

[@toolguywy]

Obviously it wasn’t sent out like that and it was cleaned up. As a flat rate tech I found it’s easier to do that than fight a flailing hose, It literally takes 1 minute to spray degreaser, wash it down with a hose and air dry it with a blow gun… also looks cleaner than when it comes in. Due to the Brake fluid pressure and amount of fluid coming out In my opinion it’s easier to see a steady stream without bubbles that way than through a vinyl tube. due to the pressure, the vinyl tube sometimes pops off the caliper or out of the bottle resulting in a cleanup after anyways. This video is for informational purposes anyway. Do what you want with it. If you only took that out of this video that’s on you. I hope this video helped you out, Best of luck on your repair though.

Why u doing to fast u shud do slowly so ppl understand u talk fast nd scaner use fast to westing time make onther video show the slowly

[@toolguywy]

to be honest, I thought about that. The long video without cutting ended up being over an hour. As a fellow youtuber I do not want to sit through an hour long video, I felt it was needed to cut and edit this video. I feel I covered all the important parts. The scanner itself has instructions which will tell you step by step how to do it. I felt that wasnt something I needed to elaborate on since there was already instructions provided. However if you do have questions please ask away and I will answer to the best of my ability. If you got lost on the scanner part. Most scanner you will have to go to (and this is off the top of my head) "ABS" "Special Functions" "ABS bleeding" "ABS Bleed with actuator removed" and it will give you instructions from there.
