How I Fixed 3rd Gen Prius ABS VSC light

Let me know if you drive a Prius!

I do!

Glad to see you got the software working with the car, thats usually a huge roadblock.

It looks like the 3G Prius splits the booster and pumps, where the 2G have them as one unit. Last time I checked (last year) the "booster" for my 06 was over $1K. My 06 is parked, waiting for time (and weather) to allow swapping the booster from a spare 06. I do NOT look forward to it, even with TIS on multiple laptops. Basically because I'll essentially be doing TWO jobs in the swap (though the bad one doesn't have to work for the parts car, just seal off the brake lines). It SUCKS that Toyota had a recall on these that timed out for older cars. This is ABSOLUTELY a safety issue, there never should have been a sunset date on it.

Yeah I called my local dealership and they said the “warranty/recall” expired in 2020

🎉 glad you fixed it

Incredible video, thanks for posting. Our gen 3 is starting to do the pressure noise every 13 seconds and I know we are due for a replacement. Toyota recommends replacing both the booster and the ABS module however what are the chances that both of them are failing at the same time? I may replace one at a time to see if it fixes the problem which may provide a more cost effective solution. Would it be more likely the Booster or the ABS do you think that fails first?

I would scan it and see what codes are there

[@thecollegepicker]

@@BeloshapkaAutoBuilds No codes yet, just the pump noise intermittently when driving. Was trying to preemptively fix it so it doesn't break on my wife when I'm away.
