    If this buzzer goes for no more than 10 seconds, during startup and shut down, that would be the coolant pump to the thermos

    can the buzzer be from overheating? like when a computer overheats, it'll buzz you

    Got fresh codes

    u0129- medication with brake system
    c1345
    u0121 again
    b1421 again

    I went into the AC module and it had this under the big list of all the parameters I found it strange that this had a zero as a value :solar sensor (d side). =0


    I don't know that last one might not mean anything I could've been I picked it out of a huge list because it's only thing that I saw 0 on

    The only odd thing is that the buzzer came on because it was overheating what that disengage the power brake system ?

    Another thing that is strange that I noticed and somebody that was riding with me the other day said it seems when the brakes are disengage the only manual one that I have is the back right rear one

    So it seems I really have to pump it slowly and it only seems to be coming from that back rear brake I find that very strange Toyota would do that that's dangerous

    Did you do the zero point calibration?

    I tried to do it I know I went in there and did some calibrations that's where the lights blink and all that kind of thing and then it counts down for like 75 seconds ? Could you tell me the menu path again and just make sure that I did that correctly ?

    PK,

    I am interested in your thread but I cannot understand 2/3rds of what your write. Please, please, use punctuation and take a moment to fix typos and write coherent sentences.

    Thanks.

    Thank you everyone for your help .. I read above and now I realize my phone was auto completing words (wrong ones) so no wonder some of this didn't make any sense I apologize for that

    I'll just take it into the stealership and let them have a go out at and I'm sure they're going to push a ECU module on me but I'm going to hold out in hopes they will find the root cause

    Wait, do the calibrations first. First: Techstream > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Utility > Reset memory > follow directions. Second: Techstream > ABS/VSC/TRAC > Utility > ECB utility > Linear valve offset > follow directions. Car must be on level ground and I recommend doing it with a battery charger attached.

    If you don't have one, you can still try and see what happens. If your battery gets low, it will not complete the calibration.
