Took it to the dealer yesterday and they pulled no codes at all. They said there is an ecu re flash needed under recall which they performed. The tech personally talked to me and said to him the brakes felt a little squishy. Not bad, but he bled the whole system and said there was no air in the...

I drove it to work this morning so I can take it to Toyota this afternoon. I definitely need to get it checked out. It's just weird that it went away so quickly once I pumped the brake system. I too am afraid it'll rear its ugly head at the worst time. I'm definitely not just going to forget...

Just drove it around for about 20 minutes and it drove fine. I went up and down hills at various speeds, tapped the brake pedal several times quickly and hard stops, rode the brakes down a hill, panic stopped trying to trigger the abs. It all worked perfectly. :noidea: Kane

Thanks for all the tips. I just got home and tried scanning it, nothing came up. I don't think my little Bluetooth scanner has the abs capability although it reads every other sensor on the car it seems, lol. So as soon as I started it up, the lights were still on and the alarm was going. I...

I opened the system and flushed the old fluid to the bottom of the reservoir. Once I noticed it was almost empty, I then filled the res with new fluid and kept pumping it through until the fluid looked clean coming out of the bleeder valves. It's totally possible I got air in the system as...

Ugh.... Spendy. Found one on ebay for $850 obo. It's the whole assembly so it'd be an easy swap. Asked my brother too since he works at a salvage yard. Hopefully I can pull some codes with my scanner tonight and see if it points my in that direction. Thanks! Kane

Typical beautiful San Diego weather, slightly over-cast, high-60's, dry, low humidity. I press the pedal and it's as if it's locked and BARELY moved. It went down maybe 1/2" if that, not halfway as normal. When I pressed it as hard as I could it would BARELY slow the vehicle, if at all. Once...

Hello, (2003 2WD 4Rnr, V8) My wife called me this morning on the way to work saying her ABS/TRAC and VSC lights light up (no CEL) and a loud alarm sound was going off. Hoping it was a low fluid level, I asked her to pull over and pump the brakes a little bit and if the brakes and pedal felt...

Great info here! Thanks everyone for sharing! I have a 2003 2WD V8 4Runner with 165k and my X-REAS line started leaking right at the union joint where it connects to the hardline on the front right on a road trip this weekend. Blew oil all over the engine and exhaust cross pipe so I have a...

Located in San Diego - North County area. Very Clean, well kept 1999 4Runner Limited, 2WD. Runs and drives like great! We bought it from a dealership 4 years ago who got it as a trade-in, DMV records show we're the second owner, (if you don't include the dealership fo course). VIN...

Hello all, I'm pretty much in the same boat. I have a '99 Limited 2wd with 153k on it. Runs like brand new, but the back-end just seems sooo bumpy! Going over speed bumps it feels like the back end just collapses on the springs practically. I replaced the original rears with Monroe...

Great info here! I have a '99 LTD with the 3.4L and need to do the timing belt soon. It was supposedly done at 95k before we bought it with 98k, but recent inspection of the belt I saw a few small cracks that are slightly concerning. Since it now has 152k on it, I figure I might as well...

Fancy seeing you here! hahaha!! Awesome deal on the 4rnr btw! Kane

Hey all, Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself, I've been an IS300 owner since 01' and still love it of course, always been a huge Toyota man. Grandfather had an 83' Cressida that had 383k on it when he passed away, he left it to my cousin who put another 55k on it till he sold it for...
