Reset abs computer

Battery went dead, jumped with portable jumper unit. After this, vsc, abs and brake lights came on along with high-pitched alarm. Loss of power assist to brakes. The battery is rel. new. Removed it and put charge on it. Have removed terminals and held together for 2 min to reset computers. Have pulled codes from diagnostic port under hood (paper clip method) [5-1, 5-2, 5-6]

    Thank you. The OBD-2 diagnostic pulled 5 codes relating to ABS system. Had lost brake assist. Toyota dealer said brake booster needs R/R, however the mechanic just tapped on the unit and module and the pump started running again, all alarms off. When I picked up the 4Runner the problem and alarms returned. Can I service this unit? Just sounds like vaccume, ports etc may just be sticking.

SOURCE: abs and brake light on after battery replacement

I think removing the security system is somehow related and you created this problem as to what you did I would have no idea. If the car was in my shop I would require at least 2 hours of diagnostic time to try and figure what you did.. You are going to need the dealer service dept on this one my friend.

I have a 2001 Sequoia replaced connectors to battery. Now E brake light ABS light Trac Off and VSC Trac light are on. I disconnected ground and let it sit. Had code ran and it said open closed circuit abs?...

More than likley its your VSC computer (VSC Trac, VSC Off, E brake and ABS brake lights all lit). This problem has been sited on other Sequoias that had the TSB brake caliper/rotor upgrade (recall) and that more than likely the VSC software or computer was not updated to meet the demands of the newly installed brake upgrade.

My vsc trac warning light and check engine light went on

Please, make your mechanic check the ABS computer. My RAV4 did the same thing, but the mechanical components were alright. After a while, I almost fell off a cliff because my brakes stopped responding properly. When further checked, my mechanic discovered that the ABS computer was damaged. The part alone costs a whooping $3 thousand bucks, not including labor. So, beware and take precautions. Your life may be endangered.

Brake vsc off and abs lights are on

Krafty930 with brake, VSC off and ABS lights on. You share a common problem with many Toyota owners. My 2003 Sequioa has the same issue. There is no solution. Dealers will replace the air sensors and then the computer all for $2,500 - $3,500. This will not solve the issue. The internet has thousands of complaints re this problem, but Toyota has disowned the issue and declined resolution, even for vehicles under warranty. The lights drive me crazy and I still don't know if there is a functional problem, a wiring problem or a computer problem with the VSC system. To date, I have learned of no reports relating this problem to vehicular deaths, so I really am not holding my breath waiting for Toyota to provide a solution. Sorry that you share this problem, but perhaps my response will help to stop you from "spinning your wheels" too much trying to resolve this issue.
