DO NOT RECOMMEND. Did not work on 2005 prius. I did this on our prius and it caused our abs actuator to go out. I got error codes C1256 (actuator), C1343 (rear left brake malfunction ) & C1344 (rear right brake malfunction). I fixed the issues for C1343 & C1344 by turning the gear under the cylinder until I heard the click as the tab in the back made its way to sit on the wheel again (has something to do with controlling the brake fluid that enters the brake cylinder). This unfortunately did not fix the problem. So my ABS actuator is out. This is a hack method that can DESTROY YOUR BRAKES. I wish I could sue this guy and am now kicking myself in the ass.

Aloha Mr. Electric! I have a 2019 Camry LE Hybrid. Do you know if this same method will work on my car?

[@priusman1234]

where you at located sir?

[@sadeqassaf3932]

Can you help me repairing the hybrid battery😔

[@ozarad6263]

Thank you....

[@Piracanto]

This seems unbelievable easy, can't grasp the ScanTool method being any better...

[@soolly357]

Did you teach auto shop at CCSF?

[@rivers8517]

Awesome video! you make it look easy. I like how you prepped everything ready to go ahead of time. 99% of car videos aren't this good. I wish you had some Amazon links to that pedal depressor.

Is this what you do after you swap out the brake pump thing?

great video - I did this today and it worked great on all 4 corners. I was just bleeding my old fluid out, no module issues, etc. I went thru 3 pints of toyota dot3 on my 08 prius, i wanted to make sure all of the old fluid was bled out.....I do not know if it matters or not, but I had the key fob in my pocket but kept the car completely turned off.

Thank you for this video for such simple and effective way to bleed the brake lines. It helped a lot.

[@halfnew3086]

Not only a great video, but you kindly take your own time out to respond to all questions asked and for that, it is very much appreciated.🙏

[@jeroscolchado4742]

Thank you for the demonstration, now I know and less nervous about working on my prius now .

[@timothysteward6894]

This video was so much better than the other videos, and only took a few minutes and worked great. Thank you!

I replaced a front brake hose and used this method and it worked absolutely great! Thank you so much Mr. Electric

[@user-lo9sr9jb7t]

Your method worked perfectly in the ES300h 2018. It is much easier and faster than the normal method with non hybrid vehicles.

This is awesome 👌 !!! I was bleeding the car with the car running, it went nowhere !!! Thank you for this!!!

[@ericbrown7011]

Worked perfectly. Just change rear cylinders 2009 gen 2. THANK YOU!

[@joepitre81]

Definitely works. I noticed that the pump/accumulator wasn't running the whole time like in the video. Still worked out fine.

[@richardking6066]

Brilliant method! If you just need to replace the fluid, I'd guess this is just as good as doing it the 'official' way...
