U need mechanics that are good with diagnostic and electrical, they have to test electrical system using wiring diagram to see if it’s the ABS module has problem, relays, fuses, the PCM or the wire between them has problem before replacing parts. The thing that u can do for yourself is check for blown fuse first (ABS). Look in your user manual for the fuse diagram

Thank you, Ive watched many videos on CZcams and gather as much information as possible to get the job done properly. My mechanics have the Autel OBD machine but didn’t know how to do it right. It didn’t work well the first and second try until I watch one guy do the programming and ask to borrow the machine and do it myself and it worked! I think it needed to code bc I saw other people send the broken part to get it fixed so they don’t need to code.

It doesn’t have adaptive cruise control

Thank you too

One of the orange connector is a nightmare for us too. It took us for a long time to get it out too.

Ok it worked for now, I will tell you taking off that bottom little screw gave me a bit of a challenge, I happened to have a small ratchet handle that takes a single short phillips head and was able to get it loose and out, but was really nervous about if that rascal pops out of my fingers...would be gone forever...ha ha ha but got it all together, and thank you very much for you to the point easy example...

That was my first fixing attempt and I’ve been working on many projects since. I enjoyed working on cars and it’s saved me tons of money from able and not dealing with dishonest mechanics anymore ❤️❤️❤️

@@vallynsworld Well all mine needed was that cleaning out spray...its back up and running code free.... Again thanks for having an older prius, I love Prius I have sold a bunch of them as an Autobroker, plus my whole family drives them...for the most part, most reliable car I have ever owned... but I drive an old 2009 with 226,000 miles and when that light kicked on, was fantastic to be a cheap and easy fix....thanks again. Jim

It’s Autel, I don’t know the model, I borrowed the mechanic’s machine, you have to look for machine that can program modules, u can finish the job, bleed the brakes, then lift the car up, 1) disconnect the “new ABS” 2) connect the old ABS then follow the steps in the video…3) connect the new ABS the program, the OBD will tell u when to disconnect and instructions

@@vallynsworld anyway to ask mechanic which autel model

Im sorry I don’t think we live in the same town plus it’s pretty easy to replace (except two crazy bolt) but the only thing is you need the fancy professional OBD machine to program the ABS. Ask your mechanic to do it for u

What is the safety procedure for removing nuts? Removing using criss cross pattern and tighten it to specs are not safe enough? Then what is your professional need to do that I haven’t done and I’d love you to enlighten me. This videos is one of my first videos and I’ve bought the repair manual and followed the specs since. My car is running and in great condition for the last 3 years. All I do is maintenance and I have the disclaimer on CZcams to warn people to do their own research since I’m not the professional is enough warning don’t you think?

Thank you, the mechanic I took the car to didn’t know how to do it too. I did an extensive research and borrowed his scan tool and did it myself.

you're welcome

Glad you liked it!

I have a 2007 Prius, it’s easy to fix, 2004-2008 share the same specs. But do buy the factory repair manual, they’ll have so much of details how to fix things including electrical wiring diagram, it shows you how to diagnose the problems…

Look at the bracket of the ABS, it’s all the way towards the wall, and you have to go underneath the car to get to it. Trace your hands on the metal bracket, you will reach it

thanks i can feel the screw. what tools did you use to get it out. Really not much room.

Use short wrench

Short and Small handle

Salt works better for the taste in my opinion for fermentation, but yes the bacteria likes sugar too, I used sugar to bring make kombucha and vinegar.

My pleasure!

The first shop replaced master cylinder and brake booster and did bleed the brakes but nothing works bc they didn’t replace the right part…which is the ABS. They attempted to take out the ABS but only got one of the bolt out of two on the battery bracket then gave up and asked me to take it to the dealership…all their sloppy job cost me tons money…incompetent job

@@vallynsworld Yea it's good to seek more than one opinion when dealing with mechanical problems.

I had the ford dealer replace booster to fix plus it was a recall. The brakes were still terrible after. Even a dealer can't get it right

I had the mechanic do the bleeding procedure, it's easy to do but after taking the ABS apart a few times. I don't want to deal with the bleeding anymore.

@@pokeyboy1 The first mechanic changed out brake booster and master cylinder and attempted to remove the ABS but after attempted to remove one of the bolt, they decided it's not worth messing with it bc tge other bolts are difficult to get to. They called me apologized and gave me discount bc the brake still not fixed and they adviced me to take it to the dealership. The dealership wants to charge me $2000 to fix it, that's why I took it home and do it myself.

I bought a used ABS and borrow a professional OBD machine to program the module to transfer the old ABS information to the new used ABS so the computer can read them

Reprogram used

Great...thanks for reply.

I Also did this swap and did a utube video. I endured months of soft pedal and normal bleeding before. I also tried the grenade brake method to activate abs. Had a pro bleed it but apparently they did not have abs activate tool. So I swapped module for a used one. I found out you can't swap the electronics. So I used old one. That finally fixed my problem. What a knuckle buster to get that bracket. Ha ha

I reprogramed the used module from the local junk yard. You can do both, new or used if you have the right scan tool, that's why I called the one of the mechanic I used before to ask them to program and he didn't do it right, so I borrow the scan tool and do it myself. it's not hard to do.

Just make sure check the brake line before reinstalling everything back, bleed the brakes, get air bubbles out of the coolant system, then you’re good to go… wish u luck with job

@@vallynsworld thanks, I hope you make some more workout videos in the future !

Thank you, this is our second repair job that we tackle together, but after this ABS, everything else seems so easy:) I've doing many repair, tune-up since...I love it and will continue to working on cars:)

Thanks for watching!

I think I bought the part from Toyota, but after market is cheaper for sure but there’s no guarantee how long it lasted that’s the problem.

I bleed manually and it runs fine but I was anal and ask to borrow a friend’s fancy scan tool and bleed it again with the his scan tool. I think u can do without the scan tool. I’m doing my hydraulic control unit now on Ford edge and I’ll do the manual then machine and see how it works or I probably need to program the hydraulic unit with my friend’s fancy diagnostic machine again. I’ll let you guys know if it needs it.

You can bleed Prius 2nd gen brakes by: -Keeping the car off -Having a friend depress the brake pedal or using a pedal depresser on the brake pedal -Loosening whichever brake’s bleeder screw you’re working on (with a tube connected to it that feeds into a reservoir all the way to the bottom with brake fluid at the bottom) The Prius will start pumping pressure into that brake as long as the bleeder is open and bleed the system for you. This method works for all four wheels and can be used to flush the entire brake fluid system!

Thanks, it’s a lot of work but I enjoyed learning from it and I’m fixing another Hydraulic control unit. It’s much easier than actuator, many things seems easier after actuator for sure!!

Thanks for visiting

Thank you! 😊

I forgot to mention which direction, I'll redo that part again then repost. Thanks

I've just started working on car recently, I really enjoy it and taking class online to understand cares better. My buddy helped me with this project. He thinks I'm crazy to attempt such a big job! But I learn a lot and would do it more...thanks for the comment

I thought the price for the new actuator is ridiculous when I found out how much it is. I've hag this car for 9 years now and it's still running. It's a great cart but three part is not justify for an old car. The dealership is always overcharged!

Thank you for watching, I just started CZcams since COVID. I was inexperienced with videos but I’m trying to get better with editing…I’ll post more stuff in the future! Poems, music, cooking…

Glad it helped, this is very simple replacement but brake actuator is a pain. I love working on car
