Warranty enhancement CSP ZJB REPORT TO NHTSA. Be relentless with daily emails to Toyota, if they decline help continue to email with safety concerns! toyota@mailva.custhelp.com
Jonathan Miller make sure to file a complaint with the NHTSA. I also hammered Toyota every week with an email. They’ll blow you off, but just keep sending them - the hey have to register each correspondence with a central database.
taxivid take it to a Toyota dealership and reference the warranty enhancement program. They did repair my problem. This is a chronic problem with the Prius. Be persistent, good luck!
Toyota failed to notify owners of the problem and the deadline. We should all also file a Complaint with the federal trade commission (FTC). This will probably get Toyota's attention faster.
I parked on a level surface released the handbrake then started the car. Pumped the brake pedal 8 times without putting paper clip. Oh before also doing all this I removed the brake cap let some pressure went out. So after doing all these I drove the car for about 50 feet and realized all the abs brake and traction lights are gone! Don’t know how much these videos help. Thank you.
Thanks a lot dude this worked for me as well. I read a few forums and had no clue what people were talking about and then came across this super easy to follow video and fixed it on the first try. You da man!
Resetting it that way is only a temporary fix. It goes away after a good half hour and it’s random, so you could be going down a hill and have to slam on your brakes
i just had this happen on my 12 prius v , all the same lights came on ( brake, abs, traction control, and the exclamation mark lights all came on, car lost its regen ability on braking - i checked the brake fluid and noticed it was low, so i brought it up to the full line with some dot 3, and pulled the positive cable on the 12v battery / let the car sit a while to be sure it would clear out the code -- after about 30 mins i re connected the battery cable, powerd the car up without putting foot on brake, ( the start button has a red light when u do it) and pumped the brakes a bunch of times , then put my foot on the brake and hit the start button -- everything went back to normal , all the lights were out. took the car for a drive and everything was fine. what ive learned is, there are alot of problems that can cause these lights to come on, so if this happens to you, its not always the 3000 abs brake actuator assembly. however these same lights all come on if it is the actuator , but like i said it could be a wheel sensor / abs sensor, fluid level sensor, and a whole lot of other little things that can make these lights all come on, so if it happens dont panic its most likly something simple like in my case ( needed fluid and reset computer) and everything was fine

I have a 2014 Prius Plug-In that had the same lights come on and no regen braking. I purchased a Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ Bluetooth 4.0 OBD II Scanner and scanned for error codes. It said my rear left speed sensor was bad. I since then replaced that wheel bearing which has a built in speed sensor and the issue has been resolved. Hopefully this helps others as I was confused as to what was causing the lights to come on like in this video.
What about the brakes feeling like they momentarily go out it you're braking while hitting a large bump? I'm sure I'm not the only one experiencing that.
Light came back on. Another method is to put the car on park, press the brake pedal all the way down for 20 seconds and lights will disappear, but it will come back again as well.
This is exactly what mine is doing! I was freaking out planning on taking it to the dealership in the morning and having to pay a s*** ton of money. So glad I found this. Thank you. Going to try this tomorrow
Yo Taj, Is it from left to right or right to left. also do you put the paperclip in the hole with the same clip or 2 different paperclips Thanks fellow Lane
Thank you, It worked for a little bit but the light came back on. I replaced the Sensor also which I taught that was the problem code C0205 and then I did the reset but the lights came back on after being off for about two miles. The Actuator seems to be working? no buzz or any clicking sounds on it.
There is warranty extension for this problem currently until 08/31/2021 for any mileage. After that day warranty applies to 150K or 10 yeas which comes first. In order to have the warranty one of the C1391 or 1251 kind of codes should be showing on the vehicle. It is not a recall. It has to show DTCs.
That is exactly what happened to us. Brought the car with no apparent issues into the dealer for an oil change and the update. It was returned to us with all of the above lights on and no regenerative braking, just like the OP.
Was about to give up after 10 times, use one paper clip, right to left, bottom 4th, top 5th, make sure you see the DIAG sign and it should work following the video. Thank you so much !!!
My lights just keep flashing after hitting the break 8 quick times and being in diag. When I hit the breaks 8 times, thr break light comes on and it beeps a few times but that's it
I have a Prius 2015 and the same thing is happening to mine except my back wheel is liquid brake fluid and I have to keep refilling it every time. Went to a Toyota dealer and want to charged me 4k to fix it. 😔
I savannapirates I have an 2004.... and those lights come on from time to time and then my car shuts down... where exactly are you placing the paper lip? Please help!!
When you said brakes feel spongy what do you mean. I have the same error and the brakes are not working i have to push deep down to get it so brake i think the abs pump maybe gone
@@saganandroid4175 20,000 mi 4 months later still good... It should be noted that I do my breaks myself. My brakes system has been flushed multiple times... I'm big on replacing parts of caliber systems and not entire units if it need be... I noticed that some of the complete rebuilds out there on the market are shittier /actually worse or flat out broken... I've done great jobs on many vehicles for friends and family over the years. Probably do about five brake jobs a year so I'm not a professional but my friends usually come to me after the mechanic f*** something up on a job... All of this to say that there was no physical issue with my breaks at the time nor has there been since... A family of deer break checked me last night 😂 everything is working as it should thanks to this paper clip
Hello, I did the same thing, I have a 2010 Prius, the lights went out, but that sound still has and when I release the brake, there is an air sound. When I press the brake , the air sound (like ssssss) goes away. I don’t know what happened please help me
How long does it go away? When clutch master cylinders you can pump it like this to increase the pressure for a while but it will go away and isnt a permanent fix.
hi i just bought 2010 prius 198k miles from dealer.. after week suddenly abs brake traction control light turn on what should i do? should i tell dealer i purchased or toyota? who will help me
dude i pluuged the paper clip hit brake turn on the car hit brake 8 times in 5 seconds turn of the car take off the clip nothing happens ..still abs brake trac light how do i turn it off?
Nervous about my issue, the buzzing sound goes off every minute when car is on. Is there gonna be any other options especially when there was a recall before? Would this fix actually take that sound away every minute. I dont hv any abs lights come on as of yet too
I’ve called into the service center and gave them my vn# and my 2010 Toyota Prius is covered until nov 30th of 2019 for the abs brake assembly. You will have to get it checked out and if they find a problem then they will fix it. If they don’t find a problem then they will charge you for checking it out.
Good evening, I am dealing with the same issue and tried to see what the 1-8 sound was. Is that the shifter and are you going to Neutral. I can see the paperclip is in the 4/5 spot. Do you push this in and then hit the shifter or is it already in? I hope you are well
Has anyone attempted to get this CSP service complete without any system warning indicators/lights as listed in the bulletin? There's no doubt that our Prius is on it's way to throwing some indicator lights, but it's not there yet. 10 years is up in November, so the clock is ticking, meanwhile the car is barely being driven due to the pandemic.
I hace a 2011 Toyota Prius, apparently the brake booster extended warranty expedited on 08/31/21. What upsets me is I had taken my car in to Tustin Toyota on June 2020 to do a different recall but the did nothing about the brake booster or said nothing. I’m here at the dealer and they said they only fix them when they go bad. Well now mines bad and I’m effed. This has been one of the must frustrating things I’ve ever gone through with a car. Feels like I’m driving a BMW.
I had all this lights on my dashboard and the morning I was taken it to service all the codes were cleared? Weird. The Toyota representative told me the codes are store in the computer of the car and they will be able to see if any codes come on and fix it. Is this true, I heard your lights have to be on in order to qualify for the recall.
I'm livid. It was on a recall but seemingly the recall expired before the problem showed itself in my car. Dealer was more than happy to want to charge me that $3000 to which I said "no". It's like having manual brakes which is fine by me but with out it working the MPG has come down. Turns out I'm a few months over and now 160K miles.
@@Learn2oo I ended up paying for it. I ran the car for about 18months with ABS light on as the brakes acted like I had manual brakes on my old VW bug. But then one day, I was stopped and what then came out of the Prius was a high pitched, very loud - beep-beep-beep-beep - constant and very rapid. When you get that signal - get off the road. That is a complete brake failure and you'll find your pedal almost impossible to push and you'll get very little response. Increase your braking distances by FIVE (I kid you not) and drive as slow as you can. Get out of traffic. My local Firestone did it for about $1550. Also, look up "Home Town Hybrids" in your area and see if they can help. I'll be calling them when I need help with the battery.
@@starhopper457 Thanks for the response, Ill definitely be sure to take it seriously if I ever hear that beep. But hopefully Elon Musk will feel like replying to a tweet about Toyota wanting 3k for a software update to make the brakes work before then
@@Learn2oo Well, when the brakes fail, the ABS actually needs to be replaced and it isn't a trivial job. Again, look up Home Town Hybrids near you if it gets worse or you get to a point where you just want it repaired.
I found out today that my rear wheel bearings were causing my brake, abs and traction control lights to go off! The speed sensor is having trouble reading the speed of the tire. Dealer want 1100 dol. to repair!! I am just going to order the wheel bearings and install myself..ugh. But they took care of my air bag recall.
Under Broken Skies damn, sorry it wasn’t an easy fix in your favor. The big giveaway besides the lights was the actuator cycling every five seconds. You can hear it in the video. If you hear that I’d get another diagnostic done. My code was C1391.
Will they reimburse the diagnosis fee after warranty coverage? My car was covered this week but the diagnostic was did several months ago. The dealership said contact Toyota company.
Hi, this methods works on my 2013 prius 3rd gen but does ur abs kept on making the buzzing sound even when u’re in drive mode? Cos it never buzzed before after u drove but now it does, any ideas? Thanks
No, didn’t notice a buzz in sound from ABS. There was the constant source of the faulty actuator cycling even after reset. I do get a buzzing sound when the AC is running tho…
@@savannahpirates407 same happened to mine, i guess the sounds came from the actuator too (very short cycling and even on the move), but after reseting for nearly half a day, all those lights appeared again 😪
ditto here....203K miles...been driving it like this for a few months now. have to change this myself. im not dropping the price of a used car on getting someone to fix it.
Hey @Savannahpirates did this last for a while for you? I had the same issue come up yesterday with my 2010 and this fixed it for now . Is it just cheating the system in to thinking it’s working? Did the code just need to be reset? Or do I still need this $3000 fix?
Toyota has finally issued a Customer Support Program "ZJB" to cover the Prius 2010 Brake Booster and Booster Pump Assemblies. Issued August 9, 2018. The warranty is good until November 30, 2019, regardless of mileage, or 10 years/150,000 miles. They will pay for the $3,000 repair.
Using the paper clip trick just gets rid of dash warning lights and regen brakes. But it’s not “actually” fixing it, correct? The actuator is still failing right? My car is is starting to act weird. Brakes are touchy, and actuator is constantly cycling. But I don’t have any dash lights.........yet. I feel like it’s coming soon though.
XTheJenovaProjectX No, it’s not a fix. It does reset for a little while tho. I hope for the best with your car. Check if there are any warranty enhancements for your car. Good luck!
Interesting hack my friend, now i know i dont have to buy a new actuator. . .. . .kindly get a clear video on how you slip the paper clip into the obd2 slot. . . . .
Tasha Ross I used a paper clip, make it into a U shape. Car running, but in park ...One end into top row forth hole- other end bottom row fifth hole. When both in place pump brake pedal 8 times then back the paper clip out slowly until lights stop flashing. I leave the paper clip in place because the lights will eventually return. This is a huge problem and Toyota needs to own up to it!
Hey my fricking prius is starting to do this is this a software issue or something physically going wrong with the car.... I don't hear any noises coming from under the hood.
I have the same issue , 2013 Toyota Prius plug in and I did what u did and nothing , I got a scan tool and they mechanic told me it’s the ABS control module
georgeallou The paperclip trick is a very temporary fix. They (Toyota) wound up covering it as an extended type warranty. This is a major issue for the Prius! Good luck.
@@savannahpirates407 thank you very much!they ask from me 2500euro to fix it.i think that i will tear appart the car and sell it for spear parts!thanks!

My 2011 is having this issue. Not covered under the "support program" and I've already had an accident because of my brakes locking up (no abs) I don't have the money to fix this and Toyota won't do anything. On a good note, even though I have this issue and my car is beat up from the accident, it still runs and drives. So I guess it's a tough enough car 👍
Chris Cruz hey Toyota finally covered the repair through a warranty enhancement program. I believe I pinned a post with the link. Good luck with your car.
same thing happened to me after i rebuilt my hybrid battery these lights came on. but im thinking brakes might go bad because car has been sitting for a while.
Thanks for this Video! my 2010 Toyota is having the same problem! However, when I tried this, it did not work... Do you know why ? or another way to do so?
Sherri Litvak I’m sorry the video isn’t the best, try again. Paper clip bent into a U shape- top #4 and bottom #5. Car on in park and on. Slide the clip in and the lights will flash- tap brakes 8 times fairly quickly and then remove the clip. This is a temporary fix, make sure to file a complaint with nhtsa.gov and keep hammering Toyota!

Not sure, the program only covers 2010. Maybe they will release one next year. Best thing would be to contact Toyota warranty about your problem, so they have it on record.
A fix that worked for me was disconnect negative battery terminal..wait 2 or 3 min. Reconnect, then pull the 7.5 amp fuse for ABS in engine compartment fuse block, put it back..then pull the 20 amp ABS fuse in same fuse box,put it back ( if fuses blown replace if not reuse). Start car. Lights gone, drives fine. Do this in the order described. May save you big bucks in case you paper clip the wrong pins and burn up a costly computer. I did not use the paper clip jumper at all. This worked for me but I am no mechanic. Just did not want to spend the 4500 dollars a actual mechanic stated that my car needed ( well not my car, my daughters car)
This is what am having with my pruis 2012. Am spending money on urber everyday to work. Because of the high bill toyata task me to get it fix.would let my husband try this if it would work for me.
thank you! it works perfectly with my 08 Prius after brake fluid flushing and new rotors and brakes. in addition, during trying to locate the pins i touched the wrong ports i think, and i heard a beep; probably this is why the red triangle and check engine light stays on after all brake warning light turned of. i just decided to go ahead and clear the red triangle and check engine light with i OBD BlueDriver scan tool. Again, thank you for sharing your struggling experience with Prius!!🙏👍
My Prius 2012 also get this problem. All lighting related to break on included ABS. I send it to Toyota Service at Malaysia, they say the spare part it is about RM 13,000 (USD 3290.00). Just to ask, what mean of this sentence "Paper clip bent into a U shape- top #4 and bottom #5". I mean the location to fix the paper clip. Hope I can try to solve my Prius problem. Thank you dear Savannahpirates.
Savannahpirates, thanks. Just spoke with a service writer. He says mileage is too high, the program expired and my best bet is Toyota Customer Care to see what they could do. My experience with TCC has been painful when getting reimbursement for blown light bulbs. This should be fun. 🙄 Thanks again for posting your vid.
Savannahpirates, thanks again for your video and info. Toyota is indeed covering all repairs plus a loaner vehicle until all work is completed. That’s not the usual way Toyota has handled things with me, but I’m very grateful how this went.
Hey guys any updates on toyota fixing 2011 toyota prius brake issue i file a complaint but i dont know if they going to make toyota admit the issue and fix it thank you savannah
mostafa ait lamkaddem stay persistent. Keep complaining. I would email Toyota at last twice a week asking them to own up to this problem. Best of luck to you!
I do but it just stays in diag, beeps a couple times and the red break light comes on for a few second. After that, thr lights just keep flashing and never stop
I was having this exact issue on my 2010 prius at around 165k miles. Fortunately for me the Toyota dealership told me it is a recall problem and they fixed it for free. I saved the diagnosis charge and the 2,000 cost to repair the problem.
Luis we need more info! How is it you got yours fixed while everyone else got boned? Maybe if you tell us all the details more of us can replicate your success.
@@saganandroid4175 I was fortunate that my car had the brake issue before the recall expire date. I had no idea that Toyota was fixing such brake issue for free before such date. The dealership told me I was lucky that Toyota was paying the 2k for the brake issue. I don't know If Toyota extended the expire date though. My car is a 2010 prius and had 160k miles at the time. Like 2 or 3years ago.
@Luis Gomez I am confused, so you did the recall thing 3 years ago or 10 months ago. 3 years ago, then yes that was before the deadline, but 10 months ago, I think it is impossible they would fix it for free.
@@stevek2121 I did the recall 1 month before it expired. Geez, I think this happened like 3 years ago. It is called the brake booster recall or brake booster actuator recall. It could be the case that Toyota might extend the expired date. It is best to call a Toyota dealership for up to date information.
I ordered a fancy scan tool this morning... Because mine popped this last night on my way home from work... I was surprised to find it threw no code on my scan tool that cost me $250 back when I bought the car that I've used for everything to date... There was nothing seemingly wrong with the vehicle operation what so ever.
@@saganandroid4175 thank you for commenting on this because I've been trying to refind this video for a friend lol... Do yourself a favor now and save this somewhere write the url down on a piece of paper tape it in a closet... Send an email to yourself lol
@@saganandroid4175 But to answer your question I have not had any issues in about 20,000 miles... I will mention that this code tripped late at night while I was driving on a section of the highway where there was about 15 disabled vehicles.. so for whatever that's worth I thought it was some kind of interference issue solar flare, lab Leak nearby, the Russians using the concussion ray idk what caused it but it was a non issue caused by a computer glitch and not a real problem or thing that needed to be replaced
I have the same issue with my 2012 Prius. I've argued back and forth with a local dealer (south FL) as well as Toyota Corp. and nothing has been resolved. I've also filed a complaint with NHTSA. A friend of mine who used to be a service advisor at Toyota told me that Toyota is very well aware of the issue and that he has personally seen his dealership fix this issue for free for preferred customers. I guess I don't fall into that category!! This is my third Prius and I have been a loyal customer to Toyota for the past 13 years. I sold my last prius (2008 model) after Toyota gave me the same run around for failing hybrid battery at 100k miles...for which the dealer tried to charge me $4500. I had the hybrid battery issue resolved for $1500 with a one year warranty from an independent company. At this point I decided to buy the next gen Prius with the hope of buying a better car and now here we are yet again. After this I'm not sure I'll stay with a Toyota. Thanks for your video btw and good luck to all.
villam10 honestly, I don’t think I’d buy another Prius. I’d personally stay with Toyota, not hybrid. The issue we are talking about is effing profound. I seriously emailed Toyota up to twice a week about the issue. They’re response was no assistance will be given. I still emailed to the end when they FINALLY gave the 2010 an enhanced warranty. Then I emailed the document showing I was right after all. Good luck to you!
Same on our 2012. Toyota doesn't want to cover saying it is not throwing off all the codes needed for coverage. ZJB prgram covers 2012 Priuses until 11/2021.
Thanks a million man! Had the same lights and issues you did. My fluid was low so I went to Walmart and got some topped it off! Also went ahead and filled a complaint.
Thank you for this vid. Got the regenerative braking working again. I was getting 12 mpg if you can believe it. With zero mil codes. Just abs brake and traction control lights
@@nnma3736 No just call and visit your dealership. Bring that printout from government website NHTSA, they have to fix it if the have the parts in stock. Make sure visit the dealer before August if you have 2011-2015 Prius. They have to replace it even you do not have any engine code. It matters of which version/production number on the defective parts. Good part has sticker with letters go around the cylinder, not parallel to the axis
@@rondhole I just purchased a 2011 base prius but I mean if it's something they can fix as a recall why not purchased with 142,000 miles but it runs really good I'll have to check it out. . Thanks for the reply bro...
@@nnma3736 it's not recalls. It's a champaign of costumer satisfaction. You need to ask to get it fixed. Just like melting dashboard few years ago. I got full dashboard replacement on my Siena 2004 and Lexus ES 2005 even they are 13 y old.
Correct. Sometimes the fix lasted a few days, but most of the time hours. Even when reset you’d hear the actuator assembly cycling. This was the SECOND time it was replaced. The first time a standard recall and last was the warranty enhancement.
This happened to me a month ago, now it's past the date of which Toyota offered to pay for the repair. Very upsetting! Imposing an arbitrary end-date on fixing faulty and expensive parts is terrible and greedy.
@Sohail Alam I found a temporary solution with 2010 6 press the breaking pedal all the way down continuously for 20 seconds, and the light will go off. Sometimes, it will come back again after 15 minutes and sometimes comes back in days. I do that all the time when I am driving.
I have a 2010 Prius and these 3 lights came on one week ago while driving. Toyota dealership confirmed it was brake booster malfunctioning and I found the Customer Support Program ZJB, however the dealership told me coverage for my VIN expired November 30, 2019. Dealership also told me it was not safe to drive. If it is not safe to drive, why is this NOT A SAFETY RECALL Toyota? I am waiting to speak with Toyota North America customer service today. $2,800 to repair. I filed a complaint with NHTSA.

I have a 2014 Prius Plug-In that had the same lights come on and no regen braking. I purchased a Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ Bluetooth 4.0 OBD II Scanner and scanned for error codes. It said my rear left speed sensor was bad. I since then replaced that wheel bearing which has a built in speed sensor and the issue has been resolved. Hopefully this helps others as I was confused as to what was causing the lights to come on like in this video.
So mine is going and toyota says they cant fix it unless it throws codes. But they acknowledge it. ANyway, anyone know how to MAKE the codes show?
Doesn't' work. Miles my vary but after you reset, i drove the car for about 20 miles and the lights came back on on the dashboard.
What about the brakes feeling like they momentarily go out it you're braking while hitting a large bump?
I'm sure I'm not the only one experiencing that.
Mine as well
I swear omg and I’m in nyc
Same here
My 2014 Prius too
Yep, mine too
Light came back on. Another method is to put the car on park, press the brake pedal all the way down for 20 seconds and lights will disappear, but it will come back again as well.
This is exactly what mine is doing! I was freaking out planning on taking it to the dealership in the morning and having to pay a s*** ton of money. So glad I found this. Thank you. Going to try this tomorrow
Yo Taj, Is it from left to right or right to left. also do you put the paperclip in the hole with the same clip or 2 different paperclips Thanks fellow Lane
Hello, did it work?
Thank you, It worked for a little bit but the light came back on. I replaced the Sensor also which I taught that was the problem code C0205 and then I did the reset but the lights came back on after being off for about two miles. The Actuator seems to be working? no buzz or any clicking sounds on it.
There is warranty extension for this problem currently until 08/31/2021 for any mileage. After that day warranty applies to 150K or 10 yeas which comes first.

i have 139k and i have that code C 1391 and the abs/brake and skid light is on. 2014 prius. will i still be eligible?
VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION: Did anyone receive a firmware update to the hybrid system right before this issue started happening???
That is exactly what happened to us. Brought the car with no apparent issues into the dealer for an oil change and the update. It was returned to us with all of the above lights on and no regenerative braking, just like the OP.
@@jgulecas I had big battery pack exchanged used battery pack and shortly after all these lights popped up.. Now do not know what to do
Was about to give up after 10 times, use one paper clip, right to left, bottom 4th, top 5th, make sure you see the DIAG sign and it should work following the video. Thank you so much !!!
My lights just keep flashing after hitting the break 8 quick times and being in diag. When I hit the breaks 8 times, thr break light comes on and it beeps a few times but that's it
I just got same issue, did try same.method I guess it didn't work on mine. Toyota dealer was saying 3000$ cost to replace actuator which I feel bs.
I have a Prius 2015 and the same thing is happening to mine except my back wheel is liquid brake fluid and I have to keep refilling it every time. Went to a Toyota dealer and want to charged me 4k to fix it. 😔
I savannapirates I have an 2004.... and those lights come on from time to time and then my car shuts down... where exactly are you placing the paper lip? Please help!!
Charlotte Frost bend the paper clip into a U shape. Hole #4 top and #5 bottom.
When you said brakes feel spongy what do you mean. I have the same error and the brakes are not working i have to push deep down to get it so brake i think the abs pump maybe gone
Had it happen last night... No apparent break issues... Slowly drove home... If the lights return or anything else changes I will update this post.
How is your Prius?
@@saganandroid4175 20,000 mi 4 months later still good... It should be noted that I do my breaks myself. My brakes system has been flushed multiple times... I'm big on replacing parts of caliber systems and not entire units if it need be... I noticed that some of the complete rebuilds out there on the market are shittier /actually worse or flat out broken... I've done great jobs on many vehicles for friends and family over the years. Probably do about five brake jobs a year so I'm not a professional but my friends usually come to me after the mechanic f*** something up on a job... All of this to say that there was no physical issue with my breaks at the time nor has there been since... A family of deer break checked me last night 😂 everything is working as it should thanks to this paper clip
I tried your method and it worked. I'm sending you love from the other side of the world
Hello, I did the same thing, I have a 2010 Prius, the lights went out, but that sound still has and when I release the brake, there is an air sound. When I press the brake , the air sound (like ssssss) goes away. I don’t know what happened please help me
What did he do with the paper clip? I can't see it in the video.
Help please, my 2010 Prius just did the same thing!
Much Sunshine have it fixed, there was a recall!
In the video you "tap" something 8 times to do the reset.......what were you "tapping"?
dennis s break pedal
Paper clip was inserted into obd ? Or where thanks
How long does it go away? When clutch master cylinders you can pump it like this to increase the pressure for a while but it will go away and isnt a permanent fix.
hi i just bought 2010 prius 198k miles from dealer.. after week suddenly abs brake traction control light turn on what should i do? should i tell dealer i purchased or toyota? who will help me
Tom Batty I think I’d start with the dealership.
Hopefully they will help you out. I wish you luck.
@@savannahpirates407 HI IF I REPLACE abs actuator and pump what is part number for 2010 prius?
Its weird but my 04 prius end up being the drive motor inverter cooler water pump,is working good now,my mechanic switch part,
dude i pluuged the paper clip hit brake turn on the car hit brake 8 times in 5 seconds turn of the car take off the clip nothing happens ..still abs brake trac light how do i turn it off?
Prius 2010. The same issue has been resolved. It seems regenerating and braking work well. Much appreciated!
Nervous about my issue, the buzzing sound goes off every minute when car is on. Is there gonna be any other options especially when there was a recall before? Would this fix actually take that sound away every minute. I dont hv any abs lights come on as of yet too
I’ve called into the service center and gave them my vn# and my 2010 Toyota Prius is covered until nov 30th of 2019 for the abs brake assembly. You will have to get it checked out and if they find a problem then they will fix it. If they don’t find a problem then they will charge you for checking it out.
Why in the F is there an expiration date on this recall, when that is a huge safety concern?
Good evening, I am dealing with the same issue and tried to see what the 1-8 sound was. Is that the shifter and are you going to Neutral. I can see the paperclip is in the 4/5 spot. Do you push this in and then hit the shifter or is it already in?
I hope you are well
Having the same issue in 2010 Toyota Prius my car battery was dead and after replacing it ...issue started
What years affected by this? I have an 06 but no issues at all. Do I need to do anything before recall ends?
So I did this but my regenerating breaks stop working after an hour
Has anyone attempted to get this CSP service complete without any system warning indicators/lights as listed in the bulletin? There's no doubt that our Prius is on it's way to throwing some indicator lights, but it's not there yet. 10 years is up in November, so the clock is ticking, meanwhile the car is barely being driven due to the pandemic.
So I just tried this. 5 times in a row. When you pull out paper clip goes immediately back to how it was. No fix. Any ideas?
Dylan Rose have you checked into the warranty enhancement?
This is a huge problem for the Prius!
Savannahpirates I did call Toyota and am waiting to hear back. Tried the paper clip and now my cruise control doesn’t work.
I hace a 2011 Toyota Prius, apparently the brake booster extended warranty expedited on 08/31/21. What upsets me is I had taken my car in to Tustin Toyota on June 2020 to do a different recall but the did nothing about the brake booster or said nothing. I’m here at the dealer and they said they only fix them when they go bad. Well now mines bad and I’m effed. This has been one of the must frustrating things I’ve ever gone through with a car. Feels like I’m driving a BMW.
I had all this lights on my dashboard and the morning I was taken it to service all the codes were cleared? Weird. The Toyota representative told me the codes are store in the computer of the car and they will be able to see if any codes come on and fix it. Is this true, I heard your lights have to be on in order to qualify for the recall.
I'm livid. It was on a recall but seemingly the recall expired before the problem showed itself in my car. Dealer was more than happy to want to charge me that $3000 to which I said "no". It's like having manual brakes which is fine by me but with out it working the MPG has come down. Turns out I'm a few months over and now 160K miles.
Total bullshit.
The repairs for this vehicle are outrageous.
I personally would never purchase another Prius.
I find myself in this boat today! How do we organize? Are we not a class of people who has been wronged?
@@Learn2oo I ended up paying for it. I ran the car for about 18months with ABS light on as the brakes acted like I had manual brakes on my old VW bug. But then one day, I was stopped and what then came out of the Prius was a high pitched, very loud - beep-beep-beep-beep - constant and very rapid. When you get that signal - get off the road. That is a complete brake failure and you'll find your pedal almost impossible to push and you'll get very little response. Increase your braking distances by FIVE (I kid you not) and drive as slow as you can. Get out of traffic. My local Firestone did it for about $1550. Also, look up "Home Town Hybrids" in your area and see if they can help. I'll be calling them when I need help with the battery.
@@starhopper457 Thanks for the response, Ill definitely be sure to take it seriously if I ever hear that beep. But hopefully Elon Musk will feel like replying to a tweet about Toyota wanting 3k for a software update to make the brakes work before then
@@Learn2oo Well, when the brakes fail, the ABS actually needs to be replaced and it isn't a trivial job. Again, look up Home Town Hybrids near you if it gets worse or you get to a point where you just want it repaired.
I found out today that my rear wheel bearings were causing my brake, abs and traction control lights to go off! The speed sensor is having trouble reading the speed of the tire. Dealer want 1100 dol. to repair!! I am just going to order the wheel bearings and install myself..ugh. But they took care of my air bag recall.
Under Broken Skies damn, sorry it wasn’t an easy fix in your favor.
The big giveaway besides the lights was the actuator cycling every five seconds. You can hear it in the video. If you hear that I’d get another diagnostic done. My code was C1391.
Savannahpirates I didn’t hear it. But if it happens with the time frame of this extension I will most definitely take it back.
@@savannahpirates407 So did you got your brake actuator [accumulator] replaced? what about the brake booster?
HI IF I REPLACE abs actuator and pump what is part number for 2010 prius?
My 07 need a replacement actuator
I got a used one and install all for 700.00
Excellent video. We did this procedure and saved my daughter lots of money!!
Will they reimburse the diagnosis fee after warranty coverage? My car was covered this week but the diagnostic was did several months ago. The dealership said contact Toyota company.
And is it normal for MPG dropped almost 10 miles per gallon after the break problems fixed?
Hi, this methods works on my 2013 prius 3rd gen but does ur abs kept on making the buzzing sound even when u’re in drive mode? Cos it never buzzed before after u drove but now it does, any ideas? Thanks
No, didn’t notice a buzz in sound from ABS. There was the constant source of the faulty actuator cycling even after reset.
I do get a buzzing sound when the AC is running tho…
@@savannahpirates407 same happened to mine, i guess the sounds came from the actuator too (very short cycling and even on the move), but after reseting for nearly half a day, all those lights appeared again 😪
I already reset and lights gone
And came back again
Plz what I should do now?
>>> = HELP HELP HELP =
ditto here....203K miles...been driving it like this for a few months now. have to change this myself. im not dropping the price of a used car on getting someone to fix it.
For how long? You kept resetting it?
Hey @Savannahpirates did this last for a while for you? I had the same issue come up yesterday with my 2010 and this fixed it for now . Is it just cheating the system in to thinking it’s working? Did the code just need to be reset? Or do I still need this $3000 fix?
Ryan unfortunately it’s temporary. Try to push for the warranty enhancement.
Savannahpirates Awesome, I’ll check in to it. Thanks for the video and the info!

Using the paper clip trick just gets rid of dash warning lights and regen brakes. But it’s not “actually” fixing it, correct? The actuator is still failing right? My car is is starting to act weird. Brakes are touchy, and actuator is constantly cycling. But I don’t have any dash lights.........yet. I feel like it’s coming soon though.
XTheJenovaProjectX
No, it’s not a fix. It does reset for a little while tho. I hope for the best with your car. Check if there are any warranty enhancements for your car. Good luck!
I have had the same exact issue with the same lights on, what is the permanent solution?
Drew Carlson replace the brake booster assembly. I have a 2010 and it was covered by a warranty enhancement.
Tap what 8 times though?
Interesting hack my friend, now i know i dont have to buy a new actuator. . .. . .kindly get a clear video on how you slip the paper clip into the obd2 slot. . . . .
What exactly did you do to make the lights go out? I'm having the exact same issue and Toyota also said it would be 3,000 to fix.
Tasha Ross I used a paper clip, make it into a U shape. Car running, but in park ...One end into top row forth hole- other end bottom row fifth hole.
When both in place pump brake pedal 8 times then back the paper clip out slowly until lights stop flashing.
I leave the paper clip in place because the lights will eventually return.
This is a huge problem and Toyota needs to own up to it!

Yes

My 2011 is having this issue.

On a good note, even though I have this issue and my car is beat up from the accident, it still runs and drives. So I guess it's a tough enough car 👍
It is free replacement now. You can get reimbursement by contacting Toyota NA support.

Hi. Got same problem in my 2011 Prius. Do you know if they have ZJB program for 2011?
Not sure, the program only covers 2010. Maybe they will release one next year. Best thing would be to contact Toyota warranty about your problem, so they have it on record.
Quick question what holes do you put the paper clip at where exactly
*exactly... thats what I'm trying to figure out*
Same problem I have but doesn’t work for my car
Can't see the paper clip thing
A fix that worked for me was disconnect negative battery terminal..wait 2 or 3 min. Reconnect, then pull the 7.5 amp fuse for ABS in engine compartment fuse block, put it back..then pull the 20 amp ABS fuse in same fuse box,put it back ( if fuses blown replace if not reuse). Start car. Lights gone, drives fine. Do this in the order described. May save you big bucks in case you paper clip the wrong pins and burn up a costly computer. I did not use the paper clip jumper at all. This worked for me but I am no mechanic. Just did not want to spend the 4500 dollars a actual mechanic stated that my car needed ( well not my car, my daughters car)
Is the Fix working, Did the issue come up again?
Same problem with the same fix for my 2013 prius 3
This is what am having with my pruis 2012. Am spending money on urber everyday to work. Because of the high bill toyata task me to get it fix.would let my husband try this if it would work for me.
what was that 8 clicks?
thank you! it works perfectly with my 08 Prius after brake fluid flushing and new rotors and brakes. in addition, during trying to locate the pins i touched the wrong ports i think, and i heard a beep; probably this is why the red triangle and check engine light stays on after all brake warning light turned of. i just decided to go ahead and clear the red triangle and check engine light with i OBD BlueDriver scan tool. Again, thank you for sharing your struggling experience with Prius!!🙏👍
Damn this didn’t work for me
Is there something else I could do to try this?
@Dj Akpati push the breaking pedal all the way down for 20 seconds and this should reset it. But it will come back again eventually
My Prius 2012 also get this problem. All lighting related to break on included ABS. I send it to Toyota Service at Malaysia, they say the spare part it is about RM 13,000 (USD 3290.00). Just to ask, what mean of this sentence "Paper clip bent into a U shape- top #4 and bottom #5". I mean the location to fix the paper clip. Hope I can try to solve my Prius problem. Thank you dear Savannahpirates.
Othman Inayatullah take a look at my previous responses to others.

Just experienced this issue last night. Pricey repair, for sure.
2010/174,000 miles put me out of the warranty program?
Jerry Loughney It’s a recall, does not matter of the amount of miles.

Just spoke with a service writer. He says mileage is too high, the program expired and my best bet is Toyota Customer Care to see what they could do.

I do but it just stays in diag, beeps a couple times and the red break light comes on for a few second. After that, thr lights just keep flashing and never stop
Please check your brake fluid level. It was actually my problem and, thank God, just by adding some fluid all the lights went off.
Is that a temporary fix or ?? I’m having the same problem
Unfortunately, a temporary fix.
Ok I called my Toyota dealership and the guy told me that it’s a recall probably 2011- so hopefully it doesn’t cost me anything
I was having this exact issue on my 2010 prius at around 165k miles. Fortunately for me the Toyota dealership told me it is a recall problem and they fixed it for free. I saved the diagnosis charge and the 2,000 cost to repair the problem.
Do you happen to have info on the recall? I have been told it wasn’t affiliated with a recall and I would love them to fix mine
Luis we need more info! How is it you got yours fixed while everyone else got boned? Maybe if you tell us all the details more of us can replicate your success.
@@saganandroid4175 I was fortunate that my car had the brake issue before the recall expire date. I had no idea that Toyota was fixing such brake issue for free before such date. The dealership told me I was lucky that Toyota was paying the 2k for the brake issue. I don't know If Toyota extended the expire date though. My car is a 2010 prius and had 160k miles at the time. Like 2 or 3years ago.
@Luis Gomez I am confused, so you did the recall thing 3 years ago or 10 months ago. 3 years ago, then yes that was before the deadline, but 10 months ago, I think it is impossible they would fix it for free.
@@stevek2121 I did the recall 1 month before it expired. Geez, I think this happened like 3 years ago. It is called the brake booster recall or brake booster actuator recall. It could be the case that Toyota might extend the expired date. It is best to call a Toyota dealership for up to date information.
I ordered a fancy scan tool this morning... Because mine popped this last night on my way home from work... I was surprised to find it threw no code on my scan tool that cost me $250 back when I bought the car that I've used for everything to date...

I have the same issue with my 2012 Prius. I've argued back and forth with a local dealer (south FL) as well as Toyota Corp. and nothing has been resolved. I've also filed a complaint with NHTSA. A friend of mine who used to be a service advisor at Toyota told me that Toyota is very well aware of the issue and that he has personally seen his dealership fix this issue for free for preferred customers. I guess I don't fall into that category!!
This is my third Prius and I have been a loyal customer to Toyota for the past 13 years.
I sold my last prius (2008 model) after Toyota gave me the same run around for failing hybrid battery at 100k miles...for which the dealer tried to charge me $4500. I had the hybrid battery issue resolved for $1500 with a one year warranty from an independent company. At this point I decided to buy the next gen Prius with the hope of buying a better car and now here we are yet again.
After this I'm not sure I'll stay with a Toyota.
Thanks for your video btw and good luck to all.
villam10 honestly, I don’t think I’d buy another Prius. I’d personally stay with Toyota, not hybrid. The issue we are talking about is effing profound. I seriously emailed Toyota up to twice a week about the issue. They’re response was no assistance will be given.
I still emailed to the end when they FINALLY gave the 2010 an enhanced warranty. Then I emailed the document showing I was right after all.
Good luck to you!
