Prius Lurching and warning lights after actuator replacement.

only place i can think of is the service manual. i wonder if you need tech stream?

 

Replacing the Brake Actuator is the first part of the job. Calibration/initialization and brake bleed is the second part.
I will include a .pdf file that details how to do the Initialization.
I had Techstream and used it to do the after install work - calibration/Initialization and brake bleeding.

I would download a copy of the Toyota Service Manual for the Prius - There is an entire section on how to install the Brake Actuator and the process of completing the entire job. While the part install is difficult the after install procedures are involved also. Probably nothing you can't do with the proper instruction and equipment.

 

Are you doing a Zero Down before looking at the fluid level?

If not, it can be expected to look a little low.

 

The clicking and pumping during the process with Techstream are all supposed to happen.

When I was using a Mini VCI dongle, it took me five or six tries to get all the way through the procedure without it flaking out with a "lost communication" near the end. When I just recently did the same procedure with a Tactrix dongle, I didn't have that problem.

The quality control of the counterfeit dongles is nothing to write home about. I made sure to buy my Tactrix one directly from Tactrix using their web site. There are counterfeits of that one too (and the counterfeits will say Tactrix, just like the real ones).

The Mini VCI that I have is surely a counterfeit. It says "XHorse", the company that originally made the Mini VCI, just like the counterfeits all do, but as far as I know there isn't even the option of buying one that's really from XHorse anymore. The counterfeiters killed the business for them.
