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)
