ABS Module Failure in Toyota Prado VX (2007)

Introduction

This document outlines a problem encountered with the ABS module in a 2007 Toyota Prado VX, detailing the symptoms, diagnosis, and resolution.

Problem

The vehicle exhibited the following symptoms:

  • Multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard.
  • A persistent, high-pitched audible alarm.
  • A hard brake pedal with no power assist.

Initial diagnosis by a Toyota dealer pointed to a failure of the ABS accumulator assembly (ABS module).

Solution

The ABS module was replaced. A second opinion from another Toyota dealer resulted in a lower quote for the same repair.

  • The brake pedal felt “long and soft” after the initial repair, indicating a need for improved brake bleeding.

SOLUTION: Replace ABS Module

Relevant Parts

  • ABS Accumulator Assembly (ABS Module): The faulty component identified.
  • Brake Light Switch: Initially recommended for replacement by one dealer, but deemed unnecessary by another.

Cost

  • Initial quote: $3200 (including parts and labor).
  • Final repair cost: $2540 (including parts and labor at a different dealer).
  • New ABS module cost: $2700 (parts only, as quoted by the first dealer)
