Fixed my ABS brakes by replacing two brake lines. Now I get ABS light on dash.Need to erase light. Fixd diagnostics said all is good. Just need to get light off for ABS.

Did you bleed the brakes after you replaced the 2 brake lines. Did you breed the brakes with or with out the power on.The right way to bleed brakes with abs is with thew power off. you will need a abs scan tool and re bleed the brakes

ABS light and traction light and no cruise control

how on earth would the blind know what is wrong.?
scan it? yet?
btw, newer cars cut cruise feature for any signs of danger.
new laws...
the traction needs ABS to work ,so forget that and fix ABS.
ABS needs 2 things to work , brakes and ABS.

so if brakes are bad, then ABS will get upset.
after all, if it cant brake right, how can the puter save you?
if brakes are known to be ok (inspections work here)
but in this case it was BREACHED by you, with out reading the book first.
then scan the ABS. (omg? code for dead sensor?) nah, you caused it..
easy

ABS resets every key on. so...
my guess, if ABS was happy before your actions( you never said)
then you got air in to the system. and failed to follow the FSM instructions on bleeding brakes, in ABS car.

front caliper, did you block the hose with cap, so it didn't allow air to the modulator? oops... never just let them drip... or . max pain.
bleed it again, (using any or all 5 ways to do so, bleeding is skill thing) (many modulators can not just be simply bled)

now Ill quote the 2012 fSM for you , under brakes

ABS Brake Bleeding
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ABS BRAKE BLEEDING

ABS system bleeding requires conventional bleeding methods plus use of a scan tool. The procedure involves performing a base brake bleeding, followed by use of the scan tool to cycle and bleed the HCU pump and solenoids. A second base brake bleeding procedure is then required to remove any air remaining in the system.

Perform base brake bleeding, (Refer to Brakes - Standard Procedure)(Refer To List 1).

Connect scan tool to the Data Link Connector.

Select ANTILOCK BRAKES, followed by MISCELLANEOUS, then ABS BRAKES. Follow the instructions displayed. When scan tool displays TEST COMPLETE, disconnect scan tool and proceed.

Perform base brake bleeding a second time, (Refer to Brakes - Standard Procedure)(Refer To List 1).

Top off master cylinder fluid level and verify proper brake operation before moving vehicle.

Bleed brakes for 2005 prius

release? explain what that means.
what parts were disconnected? MC, tell what you did.
brakes good, bleed, no bad
brakes bad, parts pulled, now bad bleed,???? just a clue.here.
if you open a fitting north of the ABS main unit, you will be in trouble.


did you read the FSM on PRIUS< if not why not>?
got ABS,? sure...
some cars with ABS, have very specail rules and steps for
bleeding ABS. , including factory scan tools that must modulate
the ABS solenoids to clear air !
RTM.
or alldata.com/
i bounce in and read now for you.
it says.
Bleeding the brakes requires the use of the Toyota Hand-Held tester, or other appropriate scan tool. Follow the operating procedures of the Toyota Hand-Held tester, or other appropriate scan tool when bleeding the hydraulic brake system.

Before fiddling any car with ABS, google your car
see what others did wrong.... save lots of grief.
and a tow to a shop.

Installed new front brake lines, now after trying to bleed them it supposdly will not let the fluid to bypass the abs. system. ?

Before bleeding brakes make sure you disable abs system. I usually remove the abs fuse for that time. With abs on you cannot bleed brakes properly. If still having problems then check new brake lines for glitches that might have happened during the install.
PS: Don't forget to put back the abs fuse after you are done! Otherwise you still have brakes but not with abs feature.

Need to rest my proportional brake valve on my 1996 sonoma 4x4 I replaced all the brake lines to the ABS, the ABS brake light stays on and I have only less than half the brake fluid flow at the rear

By the sounds of it you need to bleed your brakes the ABS light should go out by itself if this is done unless their is a ABS problem.Remeber when you bleed brakes that have ABS you must have the vehicle running when you bleed them.
