• Q: How to replace the ABS Control Module on 2004 Toyota Solara?

  A: A new Brake Actuator Assembly (W/ VSC) installation requires draining brake fluid while cleaning all paint surfaces contaminated by fluid. The brake actuator with bracket needs removal using Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 to disconnect the 6 brake tubes with point tags and after writing down their reconnection locations and to pull the lock lever upward then disconnect the actuator connector to remove the 3 bolts. Brake tubes and wire harness must be treated with caution during the removal process. The brake actuator assembly should be disconnected from its bracket by removing the 2 nuts. Installation of the brake actuator assembly requires 2 nut attachment followed by torquing to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 inch lbs.) and the actuator with bracket insertion using 3 bolts torqued to 19 Nm (194 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.) while paying attention to the brake tubes and wire harness. Attach the actuator connector and utilize Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 to connect each brake tube precisely on the actuator bracket before torquing them to 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.). The reservoir requires brake fluid addition followed by bleeding with Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 for both the master cylinder and brake line after ensuring no fluid leakage and checking the reservoir fluid quantity. The technician must complete this procedure by reconnecting the battery negative terminal then initiating system resets and calibrating yaw rate sensors before testing the brake actuator using a hand-held unit.
