I've read that as well never tried it. I didn't even bother going into service mode or hooking up a scanner when I replaced my Highlander radiator simply cranked up the heater that did the trick.

Wow, didnt know the brake booster was a concern on the RX Hybrid and Highlander. The issue is common with Prius.

So I replaced my actuator and the wiring harness broke...brittle plastic from age. Anyone know where I can get a replacement pigtail connector? It seems to be attached enough to get activity from the actuator but I'd like to make sure its securely attached...
