Yeah def got a good flush! Haha. I was wondering if maybe I was letting air around the bleeder screw. We took it for another test drive and it’s getting better. But one thing I noticed when braking harder is that the brakes vibrate, almost like it would feel when the rotors are warped. Is it...

Ok thanks! That makes me feel like we’re on the right track. The fluid definitely came out the back much faster for us also. I guess it’s because the booster pump is assisting it.

We’re having more luck bleeding the front brakes using one of those hand vacuum pumps. We also cracked the bleed valve open more than we were originally. There’s a ton of tiny bubbles. When the liquid comes through the tube, should it fill the tube completely, or is it normal for it to only be...

Did you hear your brake booster pump come on? I hear a loud motor sound when I press the brakes. Anyone know what the deal is? Is the booster pump bad or maybe just has air in it?

Ok so after doing some reading, it seems like the front brakes are supposed to be bled the traditional way by pumping the brake pedal, and the rear you just hold down the brake pedal, open the valve, and let the booster pump do the work for you. The rear brakes seem to be bleeding normally. The...

Hi all, really hoping you guys can help because now my car doesn’t have proper brakes and the truck needs a new axle seal, so kind of in a bad situation. I just replaced the whole brake booster assembly and I am having the worst time figuring out how to bleed the brakes. I’m following the...

Hi, I’ve been looking and looking for an aftermarket tester that will perform this function and I *think* I found one. I have an email out to the company to confirm it’s the same function. The tester is the Innova CarScan Tech 5510. It has an “ABS Bleed” function that is compatible with...

Hi all, trying to figure what scanner or software I can use to actuate the master cylinder solenoid to bleed air. The instructions for bleeding (attached) say to use an intelligent tester and go to “ACTIVE TEST” and then select “SRMF & SRMR”. I am not sure what brands are reliable and also...

Hi all, I will be changing out the brake booster assembly on my 2009 GX470 (many similarities to 4Runner). I have instructions for how to do it, most of them are fairly clear but I’m having an issue with how I will bleed the brakes at the end. The issue comes with the step on how to bleed the...

In case anyone else ends up having the same problem, here is what I have discovered. The Skid Control ECU is part of the Master Cylinder Solenoid, which is why you can’t find the Skid Control ECU as a separate part online. After I finally located the ECU, I disconnected it and was able to test...

Thanks for the links! The first link you mention is actually how I got started on this forum because it’s my exact same problem. So I had originally posted my question there but I wasn’t sure if anyone would respond since it wasn’t a new thread. The manual is super helpful. I spent several hrs...

Thanks so much for your reply. It’s the ABS MTR fuse that is blown, and will blow right away when replaced. A bunch of dash lights are on with a lot of beeping, and the brakes are soft. The incident happened several months ago, I’m not sure if the sniff test would work??? I was thinking I would...

Hello, new member here. This is a little unconventional but my vehicle is actually a 2009 Lexus GX470, which I’m told is similar to a Runner. Unfortunately it was jumped in reverse and I am having some issues. I tried a Lexus forum but no one responded to my question. Hoping someone can help...

Very cool setup! Thanks for pics!

I was able to find a few free schematics through AutoZone as well, very helpful.
