Gen3 Booster and Actuator

I have questions….
I plan on replacing the Booster and Actuator myself.

I’m fairly handy under the hood, I just removed all the battery busbars, cleaned, polished and replaced them. I got rid of the corrosion and cleaned the filter and fan.

My blown inverter is being replaced for free because I never got the softwares update.

My tip to you is don’t rush to the dealership for the recall to update the hybrid system software!
If you get the update and then the inverter breaks you have to pay for it.
If it breaks before the update is installed on your car Toyota covers the repair!

Now back to the brakes…

DTCs C1253 C1256 C1391

What are my choices for an inexpensive scan tool that does the bleeding and linear valve offset?

Has anyone tried the Ancel TD700? ($130) or any Ancel scanner?

Do you have any suggestions for buying Techstream cord and software? What worked for you? Vender name?

I’d like to hear from anyone who has done this job and find out what you used?

I’d like an under $200 scanner that works on all brands but most importantly my Prius and I’d like it to handle all the technical stuff like the brake service and keyfobs to name a couple.


I’ve been told by a dealership that I need:
47050-47310
47070-47060

Why are there so many part numbers for these two items?
I have a 2015 Prius 3 15in wheels 164,000miles
JTDKN3DU1F0467350

What part numbers do you suggest and why?

Are these parts fairly interchangeable?
Is there one that is beefed up? More reliable?latest version?

I suspect the internal software in the part itself has to match the car, but I don’t know this to be true?

Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated!

I’m on my second Gen3, my 2010 went 250,000miles before the first thing broke.
All I did was oil changes, brake pads and tires.
And my oil changes were few and far between.
The AC broke so I upgraded to a 2015.

 

I did my brake booster and pump yesterday, fixed my 2015, Prius three
I used Toyota Techstream that I bought off of eBay for relatively cheap
There was a hiccup using Techstream that was cured by unplugging the battery and then trying again
It’s not an easy job, but it’s not impossible to do, there are a few good YouTube videos

My question is, I bought my parts from Bam automotive, my box for the pump had the part number 47070–47060
But the part itself had this part number printed on it 47070–47050
My question is, did I receive an inferior part?
Did they swap out the more current updated model with an older less robust pump?
It’s nearly impossible to get the answers on the Internet


If anybody is thinking about doing this repair, please feel free to ask me questions.

 

It happened to me, I had a semi truck behind me, but it wasn’t as bad as they make it out to be.

I just immediately pulled off to the side

But it was very unexpected

if I had to pay for that repair it would’ve been around $4000
