UPDATE - All problems solved! Thanks again for the help from all who chimed in to answer my questions. As promised, here is an update (sorry for the delay). Short answer - all problems solved! Brake issue (pedal creeps to floor with sustained pressure) and Code C1223 - Malfunction in ABS...

Thanks to everyone for their helpful input! Based primarily on the continuing pedal creep at stop condition, I've decided to go ahead and get the brake master cylinder assembly replaced with a used unit supplied through my local repair shop that carries a six-month warranty. Cost is about the...

Thanks for the reply! I did read that thread, and I totally get that this is an inexpensive fix, but is there any chance that a faulty brake switch is causing the pedal to creep to the floor at a stop light?

Thanks. That may be worth a shot! Only issue is that frozen pistons probably wouldn't cause the code, would they?

The 2006 4Runner (Sport Edition 4WD 4.0L, 208K miles) I recently purchased is turning out to be quite a bit more problematic than I was led to believe (in my defense I did have a supposedly independent local mechanic do a pre-purchase inspection!), on a variety of fronts. I'm trying to work...

Just curious if anyone ever confirmed whether this part is compatible with earlier 4th gen 4Runners. I own a 2006 with this issue, and am trying to find some alternative to a $4000 repair cost.

Just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who posted those helpful replies. I drove up to look at the vehicle yesterday. In addition to what was shown in the photos, there was some rust on the splash shield and the rear shock covers, but I decided the amount was acceptable. Thanks to the...

Thanks! Heading up to look at it tomorrow with check in hand!

Thanks; yes I certainly noticed the rust at the welds, and that was my biggest concern, as those are rather important to the structural integrity of the frame. I'll plan to take those steps to keep it from getting too much worse!

Thanks!

Looking at buying a 2006 Sport Edition 4WD with 208K miles; 6 years in MA and 7 in TN. $5,800; vehicle appears to have been well maintained and is in generally very good condition (it does apparently need new O2 sensors). Seller took photos of undercarriage for me (apologies for the lack of...

Awesome photos! Having moved to northwest Georgia, I miss snow!

Nice snorkel! Any idea as to what impact a snorkel has, either positive or negative, on general-public (i.e., not just n this forum's classifieds) resale value?

Thanks. I had done that and it did come up as having KDSS, but the seller had made no mention of it, so I wondered if it might be possible that the VIN report was wrong. It's a fairly long drive to see the vehicle in person, so I managed to get them to send me some photos of the inside of the...

Thanks; that's what I thought!
