Mine just went out last night on my LS460, if I can find a used working unit for cheap I will do it myself, of course I'll have to get the techstream software. This thing should be under a safety recall, that was a slightly dangerous slow drive home manually downshifting with those brakes not functioning properly to stop the vehicle.
When you mention the relays, on the Foxwell scanner that has the brake bleeding service on it it says to take out the two relays prior to bleeding the front brakes. And this is after you replace everything and start the bleeding process
You can also get a foxwell nt650elite scanner that has nearly everything you need to do many different jobs. Including brake bleeding and relearning and more
Be nice if you were more specific about which unit you were talking about had the burnt smell (original or yard replacement) and maybe color code it or something. I was confused as to which unit you were talking about. And where did the machined "aluminum box" come from? the salvage yard or was that another purchase?
Hello, I need your help. I have a same car 08 HH hybrid. Showing ABS, Brake, Master Warning yellow, Brake Warning red, Slip Indicator lamps. No Engine light. And it makes bop noises when I stepped and hold on the brake pedal. I know Toyota had program before but it expired. I asked them for extended warranty but they refused. I took it local Toyota and some places but they showing me ridiculous price for repairs. I decided do it myself. In my case May just replace the motor work? I just don’t wanna pay a lot. Do you think that would work? Thank you for your time. Regards
I have the same issue with my 2006 Highlander and it's out of Warranty. So many of these actuators go bad that I didn't feel comfortable buying a used one. I think there is a pretty good chance that a used one won't last very long and you will just be stuck doing the job again. Apparently Toyota has attempted to fix the issue with a new part design/manufacturing, so I went ahead and bought the unit new. My local Toyota dealership here in California wanted $1800 just for the part, so I bought it online from a dealership in Virginia for $1150 including tax and shipping. I'm a mechanical person so I might go ahead and buy that software and do the install myself. If you have any last minute tips I would love to hear them!
Make sure you get a cable that supports the bleeding process the cheap $20 eBay ones will give error messages halfway through the bleeding process and you will have to do it many times to get all the way through and it will drive you crazy. Sometimes when your actuator motor burns out it blows a fuse in the main fuse block not sure if 06 is the same style fuse block.
@@diyautorepair5858 Thanks for the quick reply. After looking under my hood, the 2006 model is different than the 08 but not by much. It actually looks a bit easier to uninstall the part. I'm thinking about getting this cable and software bundle off Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/huc/view.html?ie=UTF8&newItems=C260f82c4-279f-4ecc-8d6d-cfef0eee76d8%2C1&siHasShown=1 All the bleeding and everything is done through the software? No extra steps after swapping the part out? It seems too easy haha.
@@JoannaM.Wilson-RealtorNJ Yes I replaced it and everything went surprisingly smooth. The actuator is pretty easy to remove. On the 2006 I had to remove the battery because it was in the way. I linked the software and cable in my previous comment. I bought one off Amazon because it was Prime shipping and I needed it asap. The software was a little weird but I figured it out by watching a video where someone was using it to bleed the brakes on a Prius. For the bleeding process to work you have to unplug the sensor from the side of the brake fluid reservoir and then turn the key on without your foot on the brake pedal. After I did that, the bleeding process worked the first time without any errors. It's so nice to have the beeping and lights on the gauge cluster gone. Honestly, the amount of money that Toyota wants for this part and install is borderline criminal imo. Anyone with a little mechanical skills can get it done without any issues. Sorry for the long response!
Amigo! Pretty useful information you hava had given me. I am actually gonna start a repair of the same model of car her in Panama. Just I need to get the part number of the pump motor to get it. Thanks for your kind explanation. Regards.
Ha! i was at Totoya today. I showed them the 'Alert' from 2019....Only problem was that a 2008 Highlander hybrid was already 10 years old (at the time of the 'Alert')! So, it didn't apply BEFORE THE DAMN ALERT!!!!!!!!! I am a EE. This is the worst application of a Brush DC Motor in HISTORY!!!!!!
I have the same problem. The thing with my car is interesting. I wend to a yard and I found that part for $100 if the vin number of my vehicle had a letter P (fifth digit) but if it had a W. The price goes from $100 to $900 unfortunately it was a W. And they don't have it
Can you say how frequently buster pump is restarting now after repair? I mean when car is in READY and not touching brake pedal. Mine is restarting every 3 minute for 5 second.
"This motor, right here." - I enjoy your ingenuity - however, your repetition in dialogue is potentially too entertaining. :) Thanks for your coverage of this repair tho! HIHy drivers are never without problems they are trying to fix and this helped me get familiar with my current issue. 👍🖐

Only downvoted, cuz this is not true. Currently working on a 2010 Highlander. Used pressurized brake bleeder, can confirm that YOU CAN NOT bleed brakes manually to fix issue, even after replacing actuator/pump assembly.
@@fixfernbacks144 Before pump brake bleeding systems all cars were manually bled. More than one post is from an example done that way. You may have allot of air trapped in lines that made manually bleeding difficult, not impossible. I manually bled my 2007 Highlander 4 months ago and it worked great.
How do I get the tech stream software if not from Ebay? I heard you said on Toyota web page, but could you provide the link? And is the software available for any individual or would you need a mechanic license or something like that?
I bought another one of these Highlanders and found out they extended the warranty on the actuator to a certain date I can't remember off of the top of my head and unlimited miles and they fixed it for free!!
@@diyautorepair5858 I have a 2006 Lexus rx400h and Lexus will not honor any warranty. It's under 150k miles but the time is the issue for them to honor anything. Talked to local Lexus dealer and Lexus corporate.
@@diyautorepair5858 I have the campaign number some where. Not sure if it was different bc it's Lexus but they said there was no way they could help bc it was past the time.
I’m curious about the Techstream software you used. Is that something you already had? If not, where did you get it? I’d like to do a similar procedure on my TOYOTA hybrid, and I understand Techstream is necessary, or at least highly useful, for bleeding brakes after actuator replacement. Thanks for the great video and for any info you can provide about the Techstream.
I borrowed it from a friend. The cheap EBay cables won't get all the way through the bleeding process. You can use the cheap EBay software but need a Mongoose cable that's around $400. Some people say you can use the Mangoose cable that is only $40 but I haven't tried it.
The software will tell you what bleed valves to open in what order. It will detect when you open the valve and start pumping fluid. You open it for a certain amount of time for each wheel. Make sure to top off the fluid between each valve.
@@diyautorepair5858 If you tell us the order the bricks need to be bled and then the time needed for each one that may save a whole lot of us a lot of time and trouble, Thanks for the video
How many miles are you at? I have a 08 Highlander hybrid. It has 129k miles and 2 owners now but it drives and rides like it’s brand new still. Runs amazing. I have a 50k miles warranty just in case I run into these issues. Anything like this happens to me anytime soon I just have to pay 250 and Toyota will replace it brand new.
Well, let me say thank you for going to the effort of recording this however. That is time spent and I appreciate it.

My rear caliper lost pressure and I replaced it and had these lights on ever since. I need to look into this tech stream thing.

So what were the brakes doing. Was it sinking to the floor, had to stop? Any symptoms of just check engine lights?
Clear the diagnostic code after replacing the abs unit so the brake fluid can bleed thru.
