    Today i had my front discs and pads changed on my 07 prius and after putting it all back correctly I went to drive the car and my abs , vsc and both exclamation marks where lit up , I've read that this is common and a quick reset on a diagnostic machine should shift them ? Is this correct ?

    My regeneration system is all working fine ie shows me that when I brake and slow down my wheels are charging the battery still

    Thanks in advance snowy

    Here's how to reset the ABS system:

    1. Find the OBD-II connector under the dashboard, near the steering column.
    2. One side of it is wider than the other. The wide side is on the bottom. The pin numbering starts with 1 on the bottom right and moves to 8 on the bottom left. Then pin number 9 is on the top right and moves to 16 on the top left.
    3. With the car IG-OFF, connect pins 4 and 13 with a paper clip or other suitable jumper wire. Make the car READY.
    4. Look at the Brake Control, ABS, and VSC lights. They may be flashing two-digit codes, if so record which light is flashing and what the code is.
    5. To clear the codes, make the car IG-OFF, then make READY again with the jumper still in place. Press the brake pedal at least 8x within 5 seconds.
