I recently completed the replacement of the ABS actuator in my 2008 Prius using this video as a guide. It was a tough project for me, since my car repair experience is pretty minimal, but I was able to do it successfully, and relatively quickly, thanks to you. I really appreciate all the work you did to create this guide. You saved me a ton of money.

The ABS module was so hard to take out and it took 3 of us 3 hours to complete the change work. Here is something that i want to share so if anyone sees your videos i hope they can find this helpful. After replacing the ABS actuator, the dash still shows VSC ABS lights, at first i thought the replacement part was bad (i bought the used one on EBAY), then after i finished the bleeding process and use the paper clip OBD trick, the 3 dash lights go off magically. I hope everyone finds it helpful and thank you again for sharing this video.

The worst part is the labor involved and having to also purchase the hybrid electric specialized gloves. I saw your other comment and if it were me having the failure I'd take the chances of getting a used module, because the chances of it failing again are already pretty low. You could buy 6 before you reach the price of the dealer part, and I think that's majorly worth it. AS LONG as you have the software, and 5 hours of your time, the mpg and the versatility of the car is well worth it.

He was actually able to maneuver the car home without incident, but we are not willing to drive it around to "test" it out because of that. I just wanted your opinion on that to see if that does sound like it is the actuator that needs to be replaced. Also, can you give me an estimate on the part and what to expect as far as the cost of labor for this repair? Thank you very much.

I have little experience with gen 1 Prius but the general consensus is to move towards a gen 2 or newer when possible. I believe several areas were drastically improved in gen 2 up. If you already own the car I would start by researching the codes logged and paying attention to experts on Prius chat. I worked at the Toyota dealership then an independent shop and now more as a hobbyist for the past 20 years. That said there is a lot to learn and I avoid trying to say I know the cars well.

Very safe, professional way to start your repair, tells a lot about the quality of your jobs. I kind a have similar problem, I have a Prius 2012, the abs, brake and stability lights are on, the code I see is C-1391, a friend of mine working in Midas said is the actuator having a leak, the sound it does my car, is not consistent as the one you fixed, but when the lights are on (abs, brake, stability), the sound is repetitive every 9 seconds more or less, when pushing the brakes feels a little lose, but surprisingly the lights goes off by itself and the brakes works as normal, this symptom is coming and going, do you recommend to replace the accumulator? or start checking something else first, I will really appreciate your advice.

I assembled everything up to the inverter, and attempted to turn on the car to see if everything was alright. However, now the check engine, Triangle, (!), ABS VSC and Brake lights are on and the car will not turn on. I am not sure if the new actuator is defective or if I messed up. What can I check for and in what order should I go? Also, the brake does not have resistance at all as if the actuator did not send any pressure, but I can hear it buzzing when I pass by the car. I want to put the old one back, but I am going to wait for any advice I can get.

Is the orange service connector clicked down to in secondary locked position( not just rocked into position but second lock of lever ) Is inverter cover on and connecting small safety prongs?

@@Mrelectric423 Hi, I figured it out, it was a small connector on the inverter. Thanks a lot, your video was the most concise/well put together. If I did not stumble upon it, I would have been out 1.5 grand. Thanks a lot and keep being awesome.

Hi, great video! Thanks. I wanted to know if the ABS actuator is reprogrammable? Does it need to be reprogrammed by a dealer if you buy a used one and stick it into your car as a replacement?

do you have to bleed the brakes after installing?

I appreciate your time in making these very informative videos. I recently replaced the ABS Actuator on a 2008 RX 400H (so much easier than the Prius) and the brakes worked perfectly after replacing it. I did not need to bleed the brakes at all and all the ABS warning lights went away. If all is working well is there a need to deal with Techstream? Do you know of any issues that may arise if I do not do anything else? Thank you for your time!

Thanks for the video! I'm planning on replacing this part in our Prius and I think that this video will help a great bit. I do have one question, do you know what the torque specifications are for all the bolts/nuts/brake lines that get removed during this replacement? Thanks, Ezra

Ezra Aderhold I do not know the torque specs. There is not a torque wrench for brake lines that I have seen but a torque value is given for bracket bolts and other fasteners.

@@EzraAderholdDG Do you know if the bleeding process is imperative? In the past, for boosters, typically taping the lines would not allow enough air to get in.

@@pinpon163 I don't know if it is imperative, we did bleed ours though. On techstream the bleeding procedure says "perform this after changing the brake actuator" or something close to that. I would lean towards thinking it is probably a good idea to do it.

What do you think of the likelihood that an actuator from a wrecked Prius of the same gen would work - thus saving a big expense for the module? Or is the original module a risky part to begin with?

But after the change nothing happend when i open the door ! When I press the break it starts running for 2 seconds. After 5-8 times ist starts as well. Do you have any Idea what could be the issue?

I just took out the ABS from my 2006 prius. a heck of a job but worth it because of the money that can be saved. I don't plan on buying a new ABS because it's ridiculously expensive. will buy a used one but I understand they can last about 6 years or so because of the years of wear on the electric motor of the ABS. I will take apart mine to see how much wear my own ABS has on it and see if the electric motor in it is the culprit of the failure.
