2007 Prius ABS Actuator Replacement – Newark, NJ

Customer came in with a brake warning light, VSC, and ABS system malfunction. After a full diagnostic, we identified a failing ABS actuator — a common issue in second-generation Toyota Prius models.

🔍 Symptoms:

  • Brake light and ABS light on
  • Hard brake pedal at low speed
  • Error codes C1256 and C1391

🔧 Diagnosis:

We used Techstream to pull the error codes and confirmed pressure loss in the brake accumulator. The ABS actuator was leaking internally.

🛠️ Work Performed:

  • Removed old ABS actuator
  • Installed a tested OEM used replacement
  • Cleared codes and re-pressurized the system
  • Full brake bleed and road test

✅ Results:

  • Brake system fully restored
