Replacing brake fluid and bleeding brakes on a GEN II Prius without Techstream

Presumably, you found out the correct torque is 103 Nm, for all wheels not just the rear ones. Hopefully, you didn't stretch any of the threads on the lugs.

Quite possibly. What you could try is to put the disc back on but leave it out from the fully seated position by about 5 mm, adjust the brake shoes so they bind on the drum then put on the lug nuts and tighten down (in a star pattern half a turn at time going around all nuts). You might not need to tighten it all the way home. Just use your judgment. The idea of this is to bend back into position anything that might have got out of whack when you applied force with the M8 bolts.

 

So, you're not using OEM disc/drums and shoes?

Don't do that, start your own thread.

 

I have a 2007 prius, replaced the ICE and ABS unit. I won't get into the ICE here as it has fired up brilliantly. The problem is the ABS (I assume) as there is an alarm that sounds (high pitched) in the cabin upon starting.

I began the procedure of bleeding the brakes, but there is no power from the ABS actuator. The only thing I can imagine is that there is a sensor which disengages the motor if there is no liquid/air in the lines. I am used to the typical clattering from the ABS and there is none, but there is also no pressure to bleed from, and the siren continues until the key is removed. Thanks in advance!

 

What are the trouble codes?

I'll post tomorrow. Thank you very much for responding quickly.

 

There are no trouble codes. The high-pitched alarm stays on even when I try to clear codes. The moment I turn the car off it turns off, and goes on again when I start. I am trying to discern the ABS motor sound from the inverter coolant pump and I think it is coming on momentarily but I have no codes at all. I've got a an OBDLinkmx+ with 3 different applications and none are showing codes.

 

When the scan apps you're using won't show you the codes, you can get the codes this way:

Hey ChapmanF I started a new thread (perhaps not the right procedure or perhaps so since I hijacked this thread)
