    Hello everyone. I am new here so I apologize I did this wrong lol. Anyway over the weekend I had traction control light blink and then all the brake lights came on such as brake, !, ABS and traction control. Took it to the shop and they replaced a wheel bearing and brake light. All the lights went off however now after maybe 20 miles of driving the traction control light comes on when braking and the steering makes a weird noise. I have an appointment for Monday but I was wondering if anyone has any guesses. ODO is at 89k . Year 2012 Prius C Three. Thank you! If someone could tell me how to upload a video I can show you what it is doing in the parking lot.

    So I just got the car back. I had to take it to Toyota. They said no codes from Techstream but they did hook it and take it for a drive. Front right wheel sensor was not sporadic so they inspected it. It was very dirty and they cleaned it, took it for another drive and all is good. I will let you know if the issue ever arises again but I am crossing my fingers. I always wanted a Prius and am very grateful to own one finally.

    Wheel speed sensor connections have also been an issue.
