    I could use a little help with my Prius brakes. I have a 2007 Prius. The rear passenger brake is not working at all. There is no fluid in the line going to the brake, but the other side is working just fine. The ABS, VSC, Parking brake lights are on. There is no buzzer going off. Any ideas what it might be?

    As soon as you read the diagnostic codes that are causing those lights to be on, and look them up, it won't surprise me if they pertain to the solenoid valves controlling that brake line. But it will be better to actually read them and look them up than to go on anybody's guesswork, especially mine.

    If you don't have a scan tool to read the codes, don't forget that Prius brake codes (at least up through Gen 3, I don't know about 2016+) can also be read by counting light blinks after using a jumper wire; many threads here on PriusChat have the details.
