I got my 2007 LS460 with 59,000 miles only 6 months ago and lately this ABS, VCS, Tire lights kept coming on . Took it a local Lexus expert Mechanic and he said it is the Brake Actuator (code C1253) and we replaced it for $1900.00 . After a couple of weeks the lights popped up again and this time he changed the Engine room power computer (for free) and it again after a couple of weeks ,the warning lights came on but this time they go off and on every other day. So took it back and he checked the wiring at skid control ecu and pump and all good. pin fit seems good. removed cover for the pump power input and resistor for signal to skid ecu and added some solder to resistor to circuit connection in case of poor contact. Sadly after a good 2 weeks again the light came on and ones I shut down the car the lights go away until a day or two and they come back again. Shut the car down and a day or two/three days later they pop up. Can anyone with this kind of headache help, please.

Was the actuator brand new genuine Toyota part?

Actually we changed the battery on this car and the alternator. On the parts , all are from Lexus/Toyota original parts.

Sadly, this is my situation as well. Did you find an answer. Did all the above steps. Might be a wheel speed sensor??

What was the fix for code C1253?

Hey guys, just letting you know that i have the 2007 LS460 with code C1253 and after struggling for 2 months, I finally got it fixed. I had to replace abs actuator part #04003- 45450 (latest updated version). Before that, dealer replaced with 2nd version (44050-50110) and the car ran for 1 week and code came back. Please don't waste your time like me ... install that last version !!! btw, i also replaced abs pump (47070-50040) as it will eventually fail because actuator problem. I had them both replaced by Toyota dealer, total parts and labor $3300 (i bought parts from Lexus). Note that all actuator version only has new part # on the outside box ... the old model # is always the same printed on the part itself. It looks like all 4 versions are rebuilt parts by manufacturer and so original part number is printed on the part itself regardless what shows outside of the box
