ABS lights and brake light problems on Toyota 4Runner 2013: experience and workshop tips wanted

Hey, I had a situation like this with my 2010 Toyota Highlander. It really sounded like your problem. It turned out that the ECU was defective, which is a pretty serious thing. The mechanic had to completely disassemble my car to fix it. He had to replace the ECU and fix some wiring. Your suspicions might be right, but you'd be better off asking your garage to check the ECU. Good luck buddy!

Hi, thanks for your input. It really doesn't seem to be such a small fault. Do you happen to remember what you had to pay for the repair back then? And have you had any problems with your car since then or is everything running smoothly now? Thanks in advance for your answer, buddy!

Hey, no problem, buddy. So, I had to pay a pretty steep price for the repair of the defective control unit, about 1000€. That's quite a chunk of money, but everything has been running smoothly since then. Ah, and the problem with the brake light switch you mentioned was fixed on my last visit to the garage. The mechanic did his best and now everything is back to normal. So don't worry, we amateurs can't always fix such problems ourselves. It's best to let the professionals do it. After all, we want to be on the safe side, don't we? Take it easy, buddy!

I have to say, 1000 euros sounds like a lot of money, but if it gets my car back in shape, I'm in. Safety really is the most important thing. Thank you very much for your help and advice. I'll call the garage directly tomorrow and make an appointment. Next time, I'll visit the garage soon enough if there's the slightest problem. Thanks again for your tips, buddy! Stay healthy!
