- This is my first video on youtube, sorry for the horrible editing and weird accent, since English is not my first language I did my best effort.
I did fix this problem the total was $240 with the labor included and my car is running perfect . - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I can't believe I found this video. I was even unable to search for this problem properly. But thanks alot to tell the exact solution. I'm gonna fix my car now. 🎉🎉🎉
Just did the same repair on my 2008 Lexus RX400H. Basically be the same repair with all Toyota/Lexus hybrids with electronic ABS braking. Important things noted not mentioned in this video, common sense you DO have to bleed all brake lines after the re-installation to remove any air pockets in the brake system once you disconnect and open the brake lines from ABS pump. If you don't, you will have air pockets in your system that will affect your braking performance (ask any mechanic). Besides it is routine maintenance to flush your entire brake system if you haven't done yet. You don't have to disconnect the battery but remove the 2 ABS relays to cut power to ABS pump during removal and installation. Highly recommend flushing out all the old brake fluid with Dot 3 or 4 by disconnecting the brake fluid reservoir hose to ABS pump and drain then extract remaining brake fluid in reservoir with turkey baster or multi-use pump as i did. After installing the replacement ABS pump, you will set off codes, multiple blinking warning lights, and long warning tone. Sound will go away after couple seconds until you turn off and on the car again. When you bleed the brake system (two person job) car completely off, reinstall relays and turn car power on but don't start, then put computer in diagnostic mode by installing a wire jumper between pins 13 and 4 on OBD2 port connector under drivers dash. For rear brakes (no need to jack car up or remove tires) one person gently pump brake pedal twice and hold, other person releases furthest bleed screw on driver rear caliper until all air and old fluid extracted then tighten (you will hear loud chatter which is ABS continuously pumping fluid out). Refill brake reservoir and repeat rear passenger side caliper. For both front brakes (turn wheels to side bleeding for easier access, again no jacking car or removing wheels) bleed old school way by pumping 4-5 times and hold then open bleed screw to force air bubbles and old fluid then tighten bleed screw and release brake pedal. Repeat til all air and old fluid extracted while always checking the reservoir and topping off with new brake fluid. No scanner needed to reset codes. While still in diagnostic mode simply pump brake 8 or more times within 5 seconds. Turn off car completely and remove jumper wire from OBD port. If you still can't clear the codes then you will need an OBD2 code reader with ABS feature for ASIAN vehicles. Finished.....
ONE MORE THING!! As mentioned in this video. The recall regarding Toyota/Lexus brake actuator assembly issues is "WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM - ZG1". Original recall was 3yrs/36k mi, but so many customer complaints that Toyota extended to 10 years from date of purchase or 150k mi which ever come first. Dealer won't ever mention this recall unless you bring it up as this is a "Warranty Enhancement Program". my vehicle was over 150k by 600mi and Toyota refused to honor the recall!
thanks for the time you took doing this review, I didn't experience any air pockets or bad breaking, the mechanic that performed the job changes abs modules all the time but to be honest you seem to have more expertise than him I didn't want him to do any bleeding because he was going to charge more lol.
For all the air pocket information you provided isn't apply to Camry hybrid. You don't have to bleed. Actually you can't bleed it. You just install it and clear codes then the system will pump that all. If you try to bleed the abs module will keep pumping then it just dry out then it pop code. How do I know it because I try bleed it and don't work like regular car. You need to experience yourself to believe what I just said.
@@nyablajnplogliab4113 Thats incorrect..you SHOULD bleed it, and you can..you just need toyotas techstream software to do it..once you have that, plug in and run techstream, go to the vcs settings, then to abs, then select bleed (from memory) and it will ask you if its just a normal bleed (after changing pads for instance) or if you have replaced the accumulator, or if you have replaced the booster system, as the procedure is different for each. Then it will work step by step through the procedure....it takes a little while.
@@kennycharneca1 Great isolation of the noise!
I may have found a loophole as far as bleeding them how or not. I just bought 400h used that had this noise after an abs replacement but worked fine otherwise.
I put on new pads and rotors, they were very worn. ...compressed the calipers and pushed much fluid and bubbles back into the reservoir. The offensive noise noise is now just a rare occasion..
Thanks
Thank you so much mine is Toyota Camry Hybrid. But the trick is that this problem comes and goes. Especially winter months. It's gets dangerous because if you're not aware you could rear-end motorists I hope this part is the same problem I got. Thanks alot brother
I think the video was great. My light just came on and you have confirmed the problem. I was kind of expecting the ABS unit to go out and it seems it finally did. Great job!
Ik it’s been 4 years but I had this issue the same time last year. Did it happen again to you? Hope you’re doing well ✌️
Thank you SO much for posting this! You hit right on the issue I’m having with my Hybrid Highlander & now I know exactly what to do to fix it. Much appreciation to for taking the time to share!
Been hunting this down for a month.. great info and thanks a million
Thanks for the video sir, and no apologies for your 'weird accent', you know at least one more language than most people watching this, including myself
I have been looking for a while why my camry has been making that noise. FINALLY!!! Thank you so much
No problem 👍
Great video! So cool how you did this yourself, both troubleshooting, and purchasing/installing the part.
Agreed. Great work KDF. Thank you for showing how simple it is to work on it instead of a paid mechanic !!!!
Thank you. I'm hearing a funny electrical noise and a funny whining or whirling noise also and this video helped pinpoint the problem.
Got the same sounds on while driving my car any leads on buying a used one?
This is the exact car (same color too - mine is a 2009) and same problem I have with my car. Thanks for the video! I couldn’t find anything else to figure out what it was. I don’t have any noise with my ABS/VSC lights on.
Glad I found this. My 2008 has the same issue AND a really loud siren coming from the dash. I hope the annoying siren is part of the same issue.
Yes is so annoying!!
You did help me to find out what the problem with Prius as well. Now I can fix my problem also. Thank you.
Awesome now I have a prius too I sold the camry getting used to the hybrid cars
Good evening Sir, I really appreciate this information, very helpful.
Keep up the good work !!
This is very helpful thank you my light just came up yesterday so I know the next step thanks 🙏
Thank you very much! My warning lights came on not to long ago. I will update everyone as soon as I get it fixed as far as the prices and the procedure.
yes please let us know is very important to fix this issue in fact yesterday a friend with a hyundai sonata had the same noise and problem and he fixed to with the module.
Any updates on fixing the problems? The warning on my Camry just appeared.
@@marvin86047 mine just came on any advice ?? (2009 Camry xle)
@@marvin86047 What'd you end up doing? I've got the warning too.
Thank so much, this video is an eye opener that I think is going to give solution to the problem at hands thanks.
Thanks your video helped me figure out the issue on my 2009.
awesome !
Thanks buddy noticing same issue right now with mine. Will have to get the oart first
THANK YOU! I hear the same sound when my foot is pressed all the way down on the brake, moving or not. I have not wartning lights yet. Can you tell me where you got the replacement unit? I the unit still working? Thanks
Dude you just saved my life, thanks amigo👍
hi i have 2009 camry hybrid and have same problem you described in your video. Module only cost in new york $400. where did you get your part for 200 bucks. please let me know
my 09 hybrid got the Check VSC System warning after replacing the front rotors... i pump not making any noise... could it be i broke the ABS sensors or i need to rebleed the system? any advice ? Thanks in advance
Hey thank you for the video i have a similar 2008 Camry and it has the same issue it’s not only showing the lights on the dash but making a loud sound when i am driving
Hey great vid, I have a 2006 hybrid highlander and now an alarm turns on if you drive the car so it’s letting you know you shouldn’t drive the car, I’m thinking the reason for that is because the vsc check warning has been on for more than 4 months, I was thinking on getting the abs module and replacing it myself, do you think it’s gonna fix the warning just by changing it? Thanks
Very Helpful,thanks
What codes came up when you checked it with your computer?
my car still no warning light but it have same problem like should i check the abs?
Where did you find your replacement for abs
Having this same issue what's the name of the part?
Hi! Love the video!
What is the name of the part so I can buy it by myself!?
Thanks
Just bought a 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid from friend and love to know more of your videos to learn more of this type car. Anyways thanks for the first video really helpfull to me that I don't offer the dealers deal
Now I bought a prius and toyota hybrids really save you on gas .
Hey bro. Is it still running good?
Btw best info. My friend car has same issue (apperantly). Will help her to replace the part . Did u find it doable stuff by person with average tech still?
Do reply.
Thx alot
When you replace the abs actuator is not necessary bleed the lines right
What's the name of the part you changed?
Hi friend I seen you videos on youtub I love it . Bat i have problems with my 2007 camrey hybrid they dishwashers under screen some warning light and check hybrid system?????🤔
does a 2012 toyota camry hyrbid LE even have an abs system, it just shows sensors and a youtube video showed me that if when searching for abs parts only sensors come up then its a problem with the sensors or parts in the breaks. I'm buying a better diagnosis tool because the one I have is not picking up the ABS error. Hope this helps someone else out there.
Thank you. This helps
Where can I find one of these?
Por que mi Toyota camry 2007 iba corriendo bien y comencé ha sentir que perdía velocidad pose el acelerador y no subía me estacione lo apagué y lo volví ha encender y prendió y arranco bien pero en 5 minutos se apago de ir corriendo lo pagaré nuevamente y la primera vez no entendió y en el segundo intento si ojalá pudiera contestarme
Where did you purchase abs
Thanks for the video
I just found this video, I know I’m 3 years late.. the second noise you showed, THAT’ MY NOISE!! I haven’t been able to explain to anyone that noise. I have the first noise, the normal noise, but it last me a while longer.. and I have that second noise, exactly.. I have no VSC warning message though, and none of my lights stay on like that.. my mechanic told me that there are two brake control modules that are going bad, it’s costing me about $2400 to get it fixed.. does all that seem right? With the way it brakes and the noises I get I should have some kind of warning messages or lights.. thank you..
Thank you soo much for this videi
I have to add some extra Info, the problem is actually the abs module but like most of the Comments said it is very important to use an advance automotive scanner or the techstream to reset and vacuum the brake system so you won't have this problem again , a friend told me the mayor problems of hybrid toyotas are the hybrids battery and abs system.
I thought we had the same problem with the ABS pump, because all those lights came on, and we got diagnostic codes C0215, C1241, C1252, C1256, C1343. Turns out it was just a leaky brake line on the rear drivers side wheel. It was a simple fix and all lights and warnings went away. Was ready to get a replacement ABS pump ($$$), but that definitely was not needed.
Nice approach but I checked all the lines and did a lot of research before buying the pump because sometimes the fix is easier like in your case.
how did you check it was a leaky brake line?? where did you take it?
My car the seem problem can you help me
I have a 2007 2.4 le Toyota Camry im wondering do you having to reset the code with a scanner tool or can you just put on the part and drive it?
Need to reset with techstream
I have a 09 Nissan Altima hybrid and I’m having the same noises I bought an ABS pump from the junkyard changed it and it’s still making the same noise what should I do from there please help
Hello sir usually junk yards have warranty on their parts and it's most likely that pump was bad too did you have any way to check the mileage on that nissan ??
Well, the abs module in my 07 hybrid Camry makes a "Healthy" noise, yet my dashboard is displaying the "Check the VSC System" error.
What should I do?
I would first get the code erased and them see if it comes again sometimes if you get just the vsc light alone could be for other reasons
Straight to the point and accurate
Thanks sir !! Its been a month and the car is working perfect
thank for your help do you have any idea about fuel pressure valve in a 2008 camry
is hybrid too ??
whats up with the volume on this
Thanks for the great info! My 08 Camry Hybrid had exactly the same symptoms. I bought a used one from ebay, but having trouble finding a mechanic that will respond to my request to put it in. Do you think it is possible to do it myself? From you description, it seems there are no special procedures or tools needed (other than to reset the warning lights).
I saw my mechanic do in it and I thought it was going to be something very difficult he just remove the lines then put it back to the new module and that's it be careful to tighten well because even my mechanic left 3 lines loose but dont over tight because is aluminum and can break
no he didn't maybe you need a scanner to reset the light.
Do you end up finding out how to bleed the system and how to reset the lights?
I have the exact same problem with my car right now and I already ordered the part.
looking for this part for my 06 highlander hybrid. Cheapest i found used at a junk yard was $700, cheapest new one i found was $1152. I am not sure if I can afford to put this part in. It costs about half the vehicle's price if I get it done at a toyota dealership. Hopefully a junkyard will have it cheaper eventually. Driving the vehicle just gives me spongy braking. The braking power is still very strong.
Dont know where are u located but I suggest you try florida junkyard I bought mine really cheap and the donor car had 60k miles.
where did you get the part, I also have a 2007 camry hybrid exact problem
Car-part.com you get connected to all the decent junkyards in the usa
Hello ,Can you please tell me the name of the part am having the same problem on my car and thank you for your video it was very helpful
Abs control module in camrys hybrid is a complete unit in some others hybrid is two pieces but I would use the part number for reference that way you don't mistake the part
Hi I have 2010 Prius that makes the exact same noise when I step on the brake and the shop I went to told me there’s no error code yet and I could still drive it but eventually I should replace “Brake booster hydraulic system” for about $1,500. That was like 6 months ago and it’s starting to get worse so I want to take care of it finally. So is this the same thing as what you got? Or what I need is ABS accumulator instead of Brake booster hydraulic system ?
if you are getting the same noise for sure is the abs accumulator, brake booster is located near the brake pedal, in my case before gave me no codes and after a while of not paying attention everything happen together all the Christmas tree in the dash.
@@kennycharneca1 Thank you! One last question, did you feel it on your foot when you had your foot on the brake pedal when that noise happened? I actually never tried to hear the noise opening the hood but I hear & feel it from the driver's seat. I try not to step on it hard when I drive, and if I take it easy that way I don't hear the noise nor feel anything on my foot.
Hello. I change the ASB module but my lights still on. Is yours or am i missing a step?
Hey my mechanic after he replaced the abs he had a big scanner and erased all the codes
How Often the pump should turn on if its working fine?
Mine turning on every 10 seconds, even when parked and I'm not braking,
there is no error codes or lights on dash, but I don't think pump should work every 10 seconds..
Possible bad module is not supposed to turn all the time
Hi Kenny. I’m looking to buy a 2006 Highlander, but it’s making the first noise you demonstrated. There are no indicator lights on and the ABS works just fine. You said that noise indicates that it’s working properly ... does it always make that noise? It’s making it intermittently, even when the car is off. Toyota dealership said that isn’t normal but they didn’t know what it was. They said it could’ve been a recall but it expired in 2016. Please let me know if that noise is normal when car is off and how long it lasts. Thanks!
Yes is normal I've noticed on different cars when you have a hybrid with issues you start comparing with others and now I have a prius 2011 and makes the same noise.
Did you ever figure it out ? I’m going through the same thing
Very nice job
Thanks I tried my best.
I got this error message after dumping a crap load of money on everything the internet told me, it ended up being the catalytic converter. Not even Toyota mechanics could figure it out. A mechanic from Tijuana MX lived close by and figured it out in less than a minute. Toyota service dept told me I needed a new engine and quoted me $6500.
wow that sucks I hope you fixed your problem
Can you fix Apc
Help do you know the part number for that part and the exact name? Is it the whole abs module or part of it?
Did u ever get an answer?!?
Did the triangle warning clear when you did your repair? Thanks for the video, by the way.
Yes I've been doing this a lot since that video, the right way is to do the right procedure with bleeding and using the software to calibrate but I've heard from other friends don't have all the equipment they just installed the new part and worked perfect.
Hi where did u find that part.my hybrid Makin a beeping noise wen I press the brakes
Ebay and also you can call local junkyards
Hello, mine is giving the same problem which you explained in youtube. Please, could you assist me to get a replacement of my ABS system just to alleviate my problem?
hello I found my part at a local junk yard but i recommend trying this website www.car-part.com/ they have a connection with all US junkyards.
I own a 2008 Toyota Camry and I already replaced the hybrid battery but the light of check hybrid system is still on
Car runs well
Can you make a video to reset the light
Thanks
Sorry at that time I didn't have techstream now I have it and you need it to delete the MIL
your good ...yes my 2006 toyota highlander hybrid vsc system check same problem and noise also...i need to fix....give me some idea..i like to do my self..Thanks
Get techstrean first and pull the codes
Hey, did u have a long beeping sound also?
yes you get that noise when the abs module is completely bad and all the lights are on.
Gracias
Thanks for the video. I have a 2007 Camry hybrid. The VSC light comes up. I tried resetting but, keeps coming back. The ABS module does not make the bad sound, just the clicks. Any other thoughts?
I would try to get either a good scanner or the toyota techstream I've seen some cases where the noise is not present but the abs is bad.
@@kennycharneca1 breaks are still really good as before but, try your advise. Thanks.
did you solve the problem? if so, what did you do? thanks in advance
@@toshisate8121 Yes, I did. I sold it. But, it's probably the ABS sensors that are bad.
@@alexjohnson9499 HAHAHA... "A man's garbage is someone else threasure" deal
Nice video. Question did your mechanic bleed the air out of the abs module or did it bleed itself?
he didn't not sure why but he told me it wasn't necessary, so far still working great.
the unit Has a bleeder valve on top, I noticed......but maybe it is computerized and does it automatically.
Where you bought this ABS monitor??
The ABS module I found it on a junkyard data base but on Ebay they go for 250~350
Husband replaced this part and he said the sound is gone but the brake performance is really bad now to the point where he doesn't want to drive it and all the lights are still on...... help?
you need to do the bleed procedure, I hope you can get the techstream from toyota and do the right procedure and the car will be new.
Im getting only the first noise… 2007 camry hybrid… how to fix it ?
I have a prius 2007 that makes the first noise all the time is working perfect but I think if you replace the abs with a newer unit and do the right installation procedure it should be brand new !
I have the same problem. Do u know where to get for toyota estima 2008?
The toyota estima looks like a toyota sienna I would do a deeper research.
How much to have machanic to replace it roughly?
Which junkyard did you get the part that cheap?
There’s thousands of junkyards around the country. They all have different prices.
Doesn’t need reprogramming after installing the new one?
No reprogramming needed just need to erase the dtc and you are good to go
yes we used the obdII scanner
It’s so hard to find the 2nd hand part that works.
It’s like $500 here .
But new one would be $1,200
How you doing Bro, I have exactly the same trouble with my Camry, so I'm wondering where did you ordered the part for it, so I can order mine I really appreciate that info! Thank you very much for your video I founded really useful 👍
I recommend using www.car-part.com/ they connect you to local junk yards and get best price and warranty as well.
Your car is hybrid? I have the same problem with my Toyota camry hybrid 2009
yes this only applies to hybrid
Thanks thanks thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How Dangerous is it to be driving with this problem mine just showed up two days ago, It be okay to keep driving it for a few days till the part comes?
I spun out cause of it ahah
I wouldn’t recommend it. You can easily get into a car crash as your brakes are much weaker than usual. If needed, drive at a much slower and more cautious rate, avoid faster lanes, and even have your hazard lights on.
Thankyou alot for the info
Did you need to bleed the brakes or you just replaced the actuator ?.
Just replaced the actuator no need to bleed one thing I reccomend after replacing it, check it after 2 or more rides mine after a week was leaking from two lines I adjusted a little and then it was perfect be careful dont over tight is an aluminum block can break easily
@@kennycharneca1
did also check engine come on and check hybrid system ?
I had all the lights related with the brakes on but no hybrid systems.
You're supposed to bleed the air out of the brake lines when you replace the hydraulic unit
I didn't do it , it was my mechanic and the car still running perfect so I guess he knew what he was doing.
Can u send the link for buying the accumulator??

Good morning.our hybid 2006 showing check back on the screen board and the brake is not effective whenever it show check VSC SYSTEM.PLS. HELP US
Same for 2006 Highlander hybrid
This May also help reset codes without scanner.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check VSC system warning:
Scangauge cannot read these error codes, nor reset this light.
It would appear that regen braking, traction control, and posibly some anti rollover control is dissabled if this warning light is on. So it is both fuel inneficient and possibly dangerous to drive with this light on.
First find the obd computer plug, under the dash, near your left knee, where your scanguage plugs in.
Turn car OFF.
Use a paper clip or wire to jump TC to CG.
TC is on the top shorter row, 4th pin starting from left
CG is bottom longer row, 5th pin starting from left
See diagram:
__/_@_@_@_TC_@_@_@_@_\
_/__@_@_@_@_CG_@_@_@__\
Note: I saw some posts when researcing this suggesting a jump between TS and CG. (TS is just to the left of TC ie 3rd pin). While this may/may not work on some Toyotas. On the HIHI this doesn't seem to do anything other than cause a Hybrid System Warning to be thrown. So don't.
Once the jumper is in place, To read your VSC error codes:
Turn car to ON, you should see the message "VSC DIAG".It will read "VSC DIAG OK" if there are no codes.
Brake warning lights will go off for 4s, then start to flash. Count the flashes, these are the error codes that caused the light to come on. They may be real, and something may need to be fixed. If the car really is broken, just resetting the light won’t do much, as it will soon trip again.
If the brake lights continually flash, then there are no codes and the display should read: "VSC DIAG OK"
Once the jumper is in place, To reset you VSC error codes and lights:
turn car on.
Press the bakes (enough to make the tail lights come on, not all they way) and release 8 times. Once you have done it enough times the display will change to "VSC DIAG OK"
Remember to remove jumper wire when done.
You must complete the 8 presses within 5 seconds
Credit to -JSTCD @ Toyota Nation
This worked!!!!! Thank you very much. My scanner could not read the codes whatsoever. I used a small metal wire to plug into the 2 pins you mentioned, pressed the branded 8 times within 5 seconds and so DIAG OK!

what is the new part name
Abs module
Has anyone had any luck buying a new ABS actuator? Or how to determine if a used one is in good condition?
Most of the time they give you 30 days warranty and try to brake as much as possible also try to get the part from a low mileage and higher year possible also by looking at the condition outside any rust or leaks.
KDF channel Thank you. Trying to buy one off of eBay, outside of it isn’t rusted. Mileage and year is unknown at the moment.
Try to go to a certified junkyard like lkq or greenstar they have a unified system that can tell where could be located a Camry hybrid near you
KDF channel Thanks. How much did your mechanic charge for installation. Mine said $375, wondering if that sounds right. I’m calling around for other estimates.
Bought new $1000$. From McGeorge Toyota Online Parts,

1k too much it’s definitely a simple fix you can do yourself!! Y’all crazy af
My vsc light was a cable coming from the wheel bearing.
easy fix you did it by yourself ??
It's me again. Maybe I missed it in the video, but did you have to go to the dealer to "reprogram" the system? Did the Check VCS System light go off on its own or did you have to clear the warning? Thanks again.
He has a professional obd2 scanner he cleared all the codes and since then no light on again
Nice video. My 2007 Toyota hybrid couldn’t start and the dashboard light is on and it said say Check the VSC system does that mean I need to change the ABS?
Great information,but after two days the whistle sound continues without stopping I rescan the no error code what should I do in this case?
You have to use the techstream toyota software and follow the bleed procedure.
Just happened to me.........scanned the computer, got "low accumulator pressure" code, etc etc........Ordered a Used accumulator on Ebay, that cost like $450 with shipping.......then ordered the Tech Stream laptop from ebay, that was ANOTHER $500........I wanted the software so I can erase codes and Flush the brakes(since this is done electronically).....I hear of people "just" swapping ABS units and it's fine.......but I wanna be able to program and do everything just incase.
did you manage to use the techstream ?
@@kennycharneca1 exactly I’m pretty sure there’s software on it that not anyone can access.
