    I was trying to get some help on the newbie forum so I post here

    I replaced rear drums and shoes on my 08 Prius When removing the shoes on the rear left wheel I wanted to check for leaks under the rubber boot and by mistake I grabbed and pulled out the piston arm. It all came out, including the spring inside. It was out for 5 sec maybe until I put it back in. Some fluid came out and for sure air - in
    So after the replacing of the shoes and drum I drive the car and have the 3 yellow lights and the red brake light.
    I used the techstream I have now and code is C1344 - RL wheel. So I obviously caused damage to the system
    I clear the code and the car drives for hundreds of miles with no problem, BUT the moment i press the brakes I would say beyond 50% brake pedal then the code comes back up and brakes work only as conventional (no regen brakes)
    This happens every few days as some cars cut me off so I have to slam on the brakes.
    Then I clear the code and drive the car perfectly .
    This has been for lets say 3 weeks now and there is no brake fluid leak from the RL wheel for that period.

    What should I do to stop this?

    I don't know the bleeding procedure but did you bleed the air out of the system?

    NO, I didnt bleed the brakes. I have the techstream if this would help but I dont know how to. Tried but I think I do something wrong and the Techstream shows me error. I am sure I do something wrong
