2013 Toyota Camry: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Mar 18, 2023 · Brakes · IL

When starting the car in low temperatures, approximately less than 30 degrees Fahrenheit, the ABS, VSC, and BRAKE warning lights remain on after starting. subsequent reading with an OBD reader indicates a C1246 trouble code. Operation of the vehicle without working ABS and VSC systems makes the vehicle inherently less safe and stable. I experienced several episodes of poor braking and skidding when driving in snow or rain before the problem was successfully diagnosed and repaired. The vehicle was serviced by Orland Toyota several times before the problem was able to be reproduced and repaired. A complete replacement of the ABS controller was required.

My boyfriend was driving my 2013 toyota camry se on the interstate when out of without warning the ABS, brake and traction lights came on; the steering wheel tightened and he could barely get the car to turn onto the on ramp to get off at the next exit. We also realized that the air conditioning is no longer working as well the gauges on the dashboard. Considering we were driving at a high rate of speed and the power steering basically became inoperable, it was very scary and unsafe. I spoke with toyota about the recall on the 2013 vehicles for the air conditioning condenser and was told that my vehicle was included in that problem. However the car was repaired for that recall in 2014, which was prior to me owning the car. After, the car has been repair under a recall, there's a one year warranty on that repair. So we're basically out of luck and have to pay for this repair ourselves.

My 2013 toyota camry will not accelerate when I first try to drive the car in the morning or in the evening when I get off work. It has also stopped accelerating as I was trying to make a left turn onto a busy street. Thankfully, the car behind me did not run into me. It seems as though the car has to 'warm up' before it will drive normally. I have had this car for 5 years and it only started doing this in september 2018. I've taken it to the dealer, the first time the ABS, check engine and traction control warning lights were on, but they said they could not replicate the issue. Each time I have taken it back, I've been told they could not find a problem. I would like to find out what is going on with this car before anything bad happens.

During a panic stop on dry pavement, after the ABS brakes pulsed three times, at least the two front brakes locked up causing the car to skid. I could not tell if the rear brakes locked up. Wrote toyota customer service about the issue. The case number is 1409112221. My brakes were inspected by my local toyota dealer who reported to me that during a health check of the braking system they found nothing wrong. The mechanic and service manager stated to me that during hard stops the ABS brakes may lock up. I thought ABS stood for anti lock braking system.
