Or better, get Mini VCI so that you can directly retrieve the logged DTC.ĭo not connect pins together in the OBD-II socket without being absolutely sure about the correct pins. If the DTC will not clear then you have a current problem with the brakes and you need to observe the flashing light pattern on the skid control ECU warning lights: ABS, VSC, or ((!)) to get a clue about the problem. Depress the brake pedal 8x during a five-second period to clear the skid control ECU DTC. After the two pins are shorted together, make the Prius READY. Hence pin 13 is five pins over as you move to the left. Hence pin 4 is four pins over as you move to the left. Position yourself so that as you look at the OBD-II connector, the longer base is at the bottom. That precaution should be observed in the future. It sounds like you did not disconnect the 12V battery prior to working on the brakes. The ((!)) display that's lit is tire pressure indicator light indicating a low pressure reading on one or more tires.All that needed here is to air up the low pressure in one or more tires.

The abs system detected a pressure difference between wheel cylinders setting the ABS light. In my case I did a brake job on the car and the abs light came on because I moved the piston back in the caliper. If the original fault is not repaired the light will come on again. This procedure only resets the light, not the underlying problem. Press the brake pedal 8 times or more in 5 seconds after turning the car into ready mode. It will start blinking the ABS light on the dash and the touch screen display will not look normal.

Connect the two pins using a small paper clip, then put the car into ready mode. On bottom row pin 13 would be 4 pins from the right on bottom row. Starting at the top row reading from left to right, pin 4 would be the pin 4 pins away from the left on top row. Connect a jumper between pin 4 (CG pin) and pin 13 ( TC pin) on the OBD2 connector. Find the can 2 bus link/ OBD2 port under the dash below your right knee.When looking up at it you will find a connector with 2 rows of 8 pins each. That said however, there is a way to reset the ABS light on a 2nd gen Prius. Removing the battery leads will not reset the ABS light either.

An ABS light can not be reset without a OBD2 compliant reader with ABS reset capability.
