Hey, thanks for the quick reply. That really sounds like the same problem I have with my Corolla. It's great that it was solved so smoothly for you. I would also be interested to know how much you paid for the repair at the garage? Can you still remember that? And have you had any problems with it since then or did everything go like clockwork? Thanks again in advance!

Hey, no problem, always happy to help. Yes, I would also have been happy if someone had been able to relieve my stress back then. It's really unpleasant to be alone with such worries. So the repair did cost me something. 525€ to be exact. That was the price of the new control unit and the work involved in the repair. But after that, everything ran like clockwork. Since then, I haven't had any further problems with the transfer case emergency running control. But believe me, the investment was definitely worth it. With a well-functioning control unit, my Toyota now drives much more smoothly and a little bit of safety is worth something. So keep your head up and good luck!

Hey, thank you very much for all the information and words of encouragement. You have helped me a lot. 525€ is a lot, but it's a small price to pay for peace of mind and security. I realize now that it's definitely worth the investment. I'm going to make an appointment with the garage first thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully everything will go as smoothly as it did for you. I'll get back to you as soon as there are any updates. Thanks again and have a great day!

Hello, it seems that you have similar problems as I had with my 2011 Toyota Avensis. I also had the ABS warning light flashing repeatedly and the gearbox was no longer as smooth. It turned out that the control unit was faulty. It was quite a job, as the transmission and ABS system are controlled by the control unit. Your symptoms sound very similar. In my case, the workshop replaced the control unit and the problem was solved. Of course it's a serious problem, but don't be discouraged. If you go to a good garage that knows about Toyotas, they will certainly be able to solve the problem. Good luck!
