2005 Toyota Sequoia brakes problems

Filed Feb 11, 2024 · Acceleration, Brakes · CO

After several years of fighting problems with, after braking to a brief stop, the loss of power/abs grinding when accelerating and turning right, now the ABS is completely dysfunctional. Both TRC lights will turn on and usually the parking brake, and when braking at speeds less than 10mph the abs will activate and prevent bring the truck to a stop without pumping them, on dry pavement. When the ABS light turns on, then braking is possible, but all pressure is gone from brake booster and brakes sound like they're grinding, not like the sound of abs engaging. Very dangerous to drive in snow as front brakes work but drive axle doesn't disengage when the brake pedal is depressed. Regular mechanic won't engage with diagnosing issues as he feels the problem is partly computer malfunction and Toyota won't allow for used part mismatching. ABS/ECU is failed.

Brake, vsc trac, trac off, and ABS lights all come on intermittently while driving and stay on until the car is turned off and restarted. Seems to be a very common problem according to the forums.

Without warning, the brake, vsc, and traction control lights will all illuminate. After this happens and the brakes are applied, the ABS makes a screeching sound , the brakes lock up and then are lost completely. Usually requires a rapid response of downshifting and/ or using the parking brake to avoid collisions. This problem happens every 6-10 times it is driven. Many times there are no warnings at all, the dash lights happens instantaneously with the brake failure. Sometimes restarting the vehicle will make a stop but it is no guarantee. This has been happening for over five years with no explainable cause from my mechanic.
