Why on earth would you wait to get a FREE repair done, especially when you are going to be there anyway??

Get it done now. There is no cost and I would think this is a part that will not go bad again. I had mine done right away, even though there was not a problem. Been a while now and still no problem.

It is one less nagging worry to have while you are on a 600 mile road trip...

I will thank you for the reminder, but right now i have a bigger issue with the brakes, its my only car to and from work. I have to fix this first and i don't have $2000 and a week without a car.

It's interesting, it should not be possible to get ABS 42 and VSC 45, but yet it happens. Maybe this is why it was suggested that the ECU be replaced. In one thread, the solution was to check all ABS-related relays. ABS, and VSC and Brake lights on

i'm going to try the relays tommorrow. I just wished I had that in pictures. I hope i don't short anything out. Thank you for the post.

Dam, relays all good. Not one fuse blown on the car. Performed another reset, still abs 42 / vsc 45 / ! not blinking, alarm still on. I think its time for the skid control module, and have it reprogrammed.

Resolved finally, it was the skid control ecu in my case. New battery, rear shocks and rear tires along the way. Good experience too, i learned more about the prius. Thank you Seilerts for the effort and time. My advice to anyone that has this problem.....get it fixed fast.

Thanks for letting us know. We'll all have to remember that ABS 42 and VSC 45 probably mean replace ECU. I wonder if it is an early model problem (2004-2005) as well.
