Brake Malfunction
Hey guys,
I was driving from work today and my dash lit up. The VSC, Brakes, and engine lights came on. I have done a quick search and found that this issue is common but Lexus didnt do a recall. And the potentially malfunctioning part is ridiculously expensive to replace.
I dont have any issues with the brakes, no clicking, no sounds, no dead pedal, no spongy-ness nothing. Drives exactly the same. The car has 117k. I plan on going to the dealership tomorrow.
Can you give me any information.

What years, or is this 2007 to current ? I have a "PING" sound coming from my front breaks, I need to have it checked out but, if the brake actuator is still covered I might have the dealer check it out.

Does anyone have any literature or codes for the warrenty extension. I called Lexus corperate and they didnt know.
I did not erase the codes. I just reset the ecu. The lights came back on after 30-40 miles.

Post 47. My dealer knew about it. There is conflicting info about when it will expire 2016 or 2017 for the 100K miles+ cars
Lights should be on, noise or clicking don't qualify

I spoke with Lexus corporate and they explained that the warranty is still good and that the dealership should cover the fix. Once again the warranty is good to the end of this year 2017 after that all bets are off.
I have scheduled an appointment with the dealership to confirm the diagnosis.... This is now my new concern as they have to determine if the issue is indeed the brake actuator; all my research says it is the issue and they car has not had this service done.
I will do my best to document this process if it happens to anyone else in the next 2 months the warranty is good for.

If you read the thread I sent in the first link, you will see that combination of these codes “C1203, C1336, C1345, C1392” points to the actuator. Make a stop by an autozone or advanced auto parts, they will read the code at no charge. Dealer may do an actuator bleeding and reset the codes first to see if this solves the problem. Good luck and keep us posted!
