Temporary solution for the Toyota brake servo

Model: Toyota Toyota Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

What we show in this video is nothing more than a temporary solution, just to get back home, or even better, to reach the nearest workshop. It happens that on some Toyota cars, such as the Auris or Prius or Prius+, all the warning lights suddenly come on, the car doesn't brake for a terrible moment, then everything returns to normal. It is a symptom that must not be ignored in any way, because then it happens that the warning light comes back on and doesn't go away, and the car really doesn't brake anymore. However, there is a method to temporarily unlock the actuator, for which it is necessary to remove some stuff inside the engine compartment, and have some adjustable wrenches with you: we need to tap a bit on the actuator cover and the car will brake for a bit longer. Go to a mechanic right away, for real.
