Oof, so annoying! I live in a small town where it can take weeks to get your car serviced, and I was having this issue. My car was fine to drive, it breaked, but that sound. It took me about 10 tries but I finally got the paper clip just right and that was it, sound gone! I'm sure you're not dealing with it anymore, but for anyone else, don't give up on the paper clip!
Hi I had the same problem and it was a bad abs pump at 250k miles replaced it now with a used one but I like your method of using engine brakes to help slow it down. I hear it will eventually fail completely and I believe that has happened with me, it just makes your braking system akin to that of a car made in the 1960's gotta drive it more way more carefully.
is your used abs pump still working fine after a couple years? im thinking about doing the same because im certain my 2005 prius has the same issue at the same exact mileage...
The codes come on often after any kimd of brake work, but if they can't be reset or come back on soon after, there's a leak in the brake pump actuator.
I replace my rear brakes. And the brakes weren’t stopping right with no abs. Bled the brakes a couple times and this annoying fucking sound started SMH
Yes, try this first. Jack up the driverside front and attach a hose to a coke bottle or bigger. Open the brake fluid reservoir and make sure you keep that full while bleeding the air out. I would get a Qt. bottle of fluid. Should only take a few minutes. You can do it manually on the 2nd gen prius. Do not start car, just put some pressure on brake pedal. You should hear brake actuator pump working after turning the bleeder screw.
I had this problem becuase of a leak I found on the brake drum cylinder. Check it out and let me know. I understand this is an old video, but I just wanted to put it out there for the readers.
ua-cam.com/video/ITcHVpW--IU/v-deo.html Thanks. I had the same issue a few days ago. Was raining at the time, and stupid me didn't notice the leak. Mechanics installed a new drum cylinder and bleed the brake system. All lights went away.
If this doesn't work, please check your brake fluid level. It was actually my problem and, thank God, just by adding some fluid all the lights went off.
The high pitched sound may go off after you bleed the driver side brakes. Follow Mr. Electric for prius procedure. Ive done this several times over 180,000 miles and did not need an accuator pump.
Abs. Actuator. Is not doning it job. Also you can take abs really off to stop the noise but not to stop the problem. To fix it you have to change actuator. ( Done )
How do you take the abs off to stop the noise. This is driving me crazy, been like this for a while just one day started doing this and hard to press the bake pedal
To turn those lights off place the paper clip on TC -13 top and CG- 4 like you did in the video then turn the switch ON ( READY) then you shut it off and back on to confirm that the lights turn off. About your hybrid battery : it is weak you must check each module and the way to do it is putting a load on each module : take a head lamp of s car and use wire with alligator clip at the end hook it to the module alone with a volt meter make a chart on a piece of paper and write voltage from 7.5-to 7.2 to 7,0 and time the amount of time that it takes to discharge to each voltage. The most important is how long it takes to discharge from 7.2-to 7.0 it should takes from 10- to 20 minutes to be consider good other wise discard that module that is below those minutes
Dude! I have 2 Prius: 2004 and 2005, and they both had this problem. How did I have it fixed? I had the ABS accumulators replaced and the problems were gone! Good luck!
This is old but it likely is the ABS pump unit failed and you must replace or rebuild it, according to UA-cam videos... I removed the little speaker making horrible noise, then changed the ABS unit. I will later today bleed the brakes with the bleeding kit as it is stuck in limp mode and won’t go anywheres. I ordered the obdii tool for Toyota brake bleeding and more but then find a video shows how to do it without code reader. Nice.
I just changed my abs unit and mine went into limp mode too. Codes U0100 and U0111 came up which weren’t there before I changed the ABS unit and it seems to do with the ECM
Have replaced/rebuilt mine and nothing changed, just learning about this paperclip hack now. But now I have to deal with an air lock in the brake line a D a rusty shut valve
Same thing on my 2005. I did the paper clip method and it worked for about 10 mins. It's the ABS module, actuator. No way around it unfortunately. There's a vid on UA-cam showing how to disengage the ABS but you have to do it every time you restart the car. I'm going to buy a used module, should be under $1000 parts and labor.
I undestand you, if you live with tinitus you hear that noice 100% of the time.. even when sleep... I have two different ones, my brain take care of it by ignoring them, but any sound like it, wake them up easily, the video ended...and I can hear it LOOOOOOUD...... :( .
Ok, so I had this exact same problem. There is a Gray square that sits underneath of the steering wheel somewhat near the pedals. If you pull that out it will stop and you can drive the car
Yes, thank you, I did disconnect it too but I found out the master cylinder booster motor was bad. I sold the car to a mechanic because it was beyond my abilities after I found out a computer was required to bleed the system after replacing
My car does the same thing but it shows break light then screams and goes in to neutral and shut off. You can turn it back on but that’s the issue it has.
Lol press brake 8 times then do 10 jumping jacks on the roof, then honk the horn 4 times, then drive in a reverse circle for 3.14 miles then fart 6 times with the windows up and the air off, hope that helps
I removed the device in the dash making the tone and had to replace the brake module where all of the brake lines connect. I bought a used one on eBay for 250.00 and had someone locally install and bleed it for 700.00. Total 950.00 for repair. Make sure you have no grounding or electrical issues too.
I have the same problem but only when it rains, i mean whenever car gets wet this lights will show and wont turn off with the paper clip method. I changed 12v battery its new. My car sometimes wont start until it gets dried out can someone help me
I ended up removing the tone generator; It is a small grey box next to the brake pedal lever. I could not take the sound anymore but now drive the car in “B” mode.
Your screen is flashing because the capacitor on your screen display is going out it is a 110v capacitor that you can buy on Amazon with a soldering kit it should cost $35 dollars total but you will need to solder the capacitor on successfully if you check with a voltage meter the capacitor it will read below 110v you should replace the capacitor with a 220v to prevent future problems with the capacitor not supplying enough power to the electronics. FYI you will likely break the vent by the steering wheel to the right because the design of the clips
I would also fill the coolant on your inverter coolant reservoir and engine coolant overflow reservoir to the max full my 2007 prius was within range and the check engine light, red triangle exclamation point and vsc light came on especially when the a/c or heat was running. Filling the reservoirs seemed to help but I will see here in a few days it only happens periodically.
I ve been runing the car for a year with this issue ! so you can still drive the car , but ok the sound make me crazy . you will have to change the abs actuator module to solve this issue . i am not planing to do it because i m gona change car in a few month . Toyota know about it but they charge people so much to fix it ! 4k repair to take out an alarm xD no thank you
This just happened to me. They said I had to replace with 1000$ part. Is guy put a machine on the car to clear my BRAKE CODES. I had ten And it all went off and my brake don’t feelike it’s filled with air
My car makes that beeping noise when I turn it on sometimes and if I try to back out immediately it is hard to stop, but it does stop. Breaks work fine any other time. I have an 07 Prius and now my father and his mechanic say that the breaks could fail at any time so I can’t drive it, any advice would be helpful because I love my car
When was the last time the 12v battery in the back was replaced? They are only good for about 5years. Be sure to only replace it with a Toyota OEM battery. They are about $200.00. The Prius electrical system is very sensitive to the 12v system. Are you getting any warning lights?
@@jakemir so about 2 years ago, the abs had been out since I got the car and the break light, abs light as well as the check engine light is on all of the time. Today before I mentioned the beeping sometimes when I start the car and try to drive it real quick, he said one of the cells is low battery, something about there being like 24 cells and only one is low so it should be fine for awhile. After seeing that this long beep and what accompanies it is so common I feel a lot more understood.
@@jakemir also since I left the shop I start the car a lot slower and it hasn’t made that beep or anything it is acting normal, so I think it may be due to be being on the go and in a rush all the time and the car needs a minute to adjust
I think there are 28 cells and each one should be about 7.2 volts for a total of 200 volts. A low cell can make the car act up. I replaced our hybrid battery for about $900. Sometimes our car does strange things when it is humid or rainy. They are pretty reliable but can be frustrating when they have electrical issues. There are also videos about checking the 12v battery in the trunk
I changed the abs actuator twice now. Problem is still there. The pump will not turn on even with the Toyota tech stream software. Any help would be appreciated
There is a shop in San Francisco California that may be able to help you online or over the phone. They only work on Prius. Check this link lusciousgarage.com or call (415) 875-9030
Hey dude. I have a 09 Toyota Prius my self. But I don't get the noise on my car. Do you have a scan code reader to reset your code. It could be a bad ABS unit. You can get a scan reader on Amazon or E-Bay If you pick one up make sure for your car okOh am calling from Houston Tx
We're in the middle of the repair. Mechanic ( not dealer) put on new ABS actuator and replaced ed 12 volt. Now , they can't get the Prius to start. I like everything about the Prius except it's software and over engineered subsystems! I feel it's planned obsolescence!! We called dealership heard that the brake were covered by a recall until 2017! The brakes were fine then. The dealer suggested we buy a new !## I read an article where a retired shop teacher and son built their own electric car for about 15k 70miles range with a 2 person backseat! I have teenage boys...If it wasn't the need for airbags... I'm off Toyota now. Completely unreliable! If you can't keep your car 10-12 years it ups the real cost of the car 30-40 % according to AS AAA
What is "the zero tolerance calibration" and why do they create all these new mysterious phrases to confuse us and make us give up all hope of figuring out anything for ourselves anymore?
Yes, it was the brake module so we sold it to someone that could repair it themselves. It was a 2000.00 repair but we bought another Prius with lower miles.
