    I will be honest in pointing at manuals does not help as much as it might another because I am mostly self taught and they read like stereo instructions. Read earlier posts and there is a complete diagnostic. I have also found that most field mechanics do follow gut judgement and don't break down to the smallest component.

    I thought my roommate's car had an issue with the inverter but it turns out that seems to have not been the case or there was something else wrong. With my car I was getting a lot of extraneous codes and thought the C1343 was caused by other issues. Turns out it appears to be the reverse.

    Getting C1343 with 571. Was able to figure out how to print out a report with techstream instead of pictures.
    Took pictures of dash and the right rear brakes. The pads look like they may be a little thin but I don't think bad at all. Have pictures of techstream report as well but I think the pdf would be even better.

    I can easily bleed the brakes if that might help. I looked at the brake fluid reservoir and looks full but also a little on the dark side.

    Am I likely to need to replace the master brake cylinder? Sorry I mean the ABS actuator I think? Anything else I should try? Also any fuses I should check?

    I cannot afford new right now because they are like $1000+ unless someone knows a source that is far cheaper? Also are there any videos of replacing the abs actuator and/or anyone has detailed instructions?

    Generally here at this point you're replacing an actuator You can go through the 40 pages or whatever it is of the testing business generally it's all going to lead back to the actuator unless you see brake fluid on your back right rear backing plate pull the drum off see the brake fluid coming out of the line connection or the rubber boots on the end of the wheel cylinder You got nothing. It's going to come back to the actuator. You can buy them used online eBay in the 300 350 range The big places like the salvage yards and Conyers Georgia and some others have enough of these cars where they can send you one right out when it doesn't work Make sure you look at their fine print I've installed several used ones in all the cars are running fine and still working some are 3 years in so more than paid for themselves just in that one repair in the savings because the new one is going to be about $1,400 12 to 14.
