this ended up being a bad ground that was producing all of my symptoms. the ground was in engine bay on the driver side near the battery. The bolt that was securing the ground was cross threaded...

I had a local auto repair shop officially diagnose the problem. It's the ABS/Skid Control module, AKA., ABS solenoid...just like we thought. Cost $436 to officially diagnose and $1,066 for part from Mcgeorge. Will cost $100-$200 to install. Alot of $$, but better than being raped at the...

An additional symptom now accompanies the ABS and Brake Light simultaneous flicker. The RPM's on the Tach will Bog down approx. 1000 RPM after the initial engine start up (approx. 50 seconds after engine starts). Has been happening intermittently ONLY in the morning as it goes through its...

I'm a little reluctant to perform ZPC given I have the DAC and would require an additional step 5. I dont want more lights coming on...ha!

Thanks for this...interesting. Might be worth a shot buying the entire MC with the ECU on Ebay. As of now, it really doesn't make sense for me to do anything, as I have zero symptoms aside from the lights flickering simultaneously and intermittently. If it fails, I wont have ABS or traction...

I tried the CRC cleaner on both the harness and connector sides of the brake fluid level sensor &abs/skid control ecu. No change.

If so, instructions anywhere?

Brake master cylinder assembly?

Do you know how to replace the skid control/ABs ECU and what it entails? There is ome bizarre looking hardware that holds it onto the MC...and I believe requires a "zero point calibration?" What is that?

I tested the brake fluid level sensor switch both above min and below min. I dont think its the switch..the resistance measured where it should at both levels. Furthermore, the fact both lights flicker when I brake the wheels loose too leads me to believe it's the skid control and abs ECU.

Did you go Used or New on the MC Assembly? And did you install it?

Simple Mine is 89541-35051, 2008 SR5 4WD and look what I have going on: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/268770-2008-4runner-parking-brake-warning-light-abs-light-flicker-simultaneously-3.html#post3236811 I'm starting to think my issue lies within the ABS/Skid Control ECU. Looks...

I believe the below highlighted portion is the skid control ECU. Toyota calls it 47217-35010 "Control Module/Solenoid." List price is $1,654.55. Through McGeorge its $1,090.80. Could get an entire assembly on Ebay for $325 used....might be rolling the dice though

How do you explain this?

So frustrating...these things shouldn't be this complicated but they engineer them to be. I agree with nearly all you have said. I will test the switch. Remember though, the Toyota Master tech tested the resevoir sensor and when refilling the reservoir the brake warning light did NOT go back...
