Dealership brake fluid replacement fail

Can you give pics of your bleeder valves? I want to see if they hacked them up, or used the correct tool, or if they are rusted beyond recognition.

 

I would have said, "thanks for the recommendation, I'll think about it just do the oil change for now, thanks." (I'm just looking at this as a learning curve/thing for future readers )

 

The truck is a 2011 with 255389. The place I bought it from is another story… the owner was refused a new frame and caved in to trade it in. Then the dealer approved the new frame when it was in their inventory. They also charged Toyota for a rental… when I reported it something must have happened because they wound up changing ownership.

 

Nice work on the PI effort. That all seems, well, less than up-front. Gives me the creepy feeling of previous owner getting bullied into buying a new truck, and dealer profiting higher on his trade-in. Okay so now we know what you are dealing with, not sure if you can get a fair shake out of this stealership to correctly, fix, what they have effed-up on your 4x4 service, without getting more money out of you to fix what they broke. Jeez, your tools are somewhere else... If it were me, I would not go back to that dealer, er stealership, for anything. Not even this. I would correctly bleed the brakes to see if that cleared anything up. I would track down each code and see where it points to, cleaning all sensors with a good shot of brake cleaner to ensure their connections and sensor reading-points are free and clear. Let me see what these codes mean...

 

Much appreciated with everyone responding!

 

With as much grunge I see on the first sensor, I suspect some dirt got between the contacts and has cut off communication causing the cascading of error codes. If you are lucky. Open the rear sensors (disconnect those connections simply what I mean), eyeball them, are they clean, both male pins and female, blow them out, brake cleaner, ensure they are making contact. Does that fix the codes?

 

I’ll try that. I have Sunday off.

 

Those connectors have little seals to keep dirt and water out of the pins

Also he has codes for both sides, one connector is clean and one is dirty.. I highly doubt its a connector issue

The time frame tells the story.. they screwed it up.

 

This is why the dealer NEVER sees my truck. I got tired of finding evidence of the several shortcuts the boneheads at the dealer pulled when my frame was swapped in 2018 (they absolutely did NOT flush my brake system, among other shortcuts). I now do all my maintenance proactively (I flush the brake and cooling systems every 3 years) or bring it to an independent shop for stuff that I can't do (air conditioning).

I would bite the bullet, and figure out how to fix it myself. If you let the dealer monkeys do it, they'll get the light to go out, and then you will have to figure out if they either fixed the problem, or tricked the sensor.

 

You could be very right.

 

Had dealer install extended braided brake lines front/back. Got it home and big puddle of brake fluid on floor passenger front. Took back to have them fix it.
Had them do gear oil change frnt/rear diffs and transfer... takes around 7 qt total. They charged me for 11 qts. All the service boss could come up with was "well, sometimes they take more."

Got 3 different service advisors price quotes (at same stealership) for doing the ecgs bushing... quotes ranged up to $200 difference. WTF?

 

that’s what I’m worried about. This is from the health check

 

I would try to get them to tell you which tech/techs worked on the truck. When I had an issue at my local dealership (which I already had corrected a month prior to complaining) the service advisor pulled up the tech who screwed up. Turned out that tech had since been fired for screwing up someone else’s vehicle.

 

I have heard more than a few stories start out this way. Did you check the oil level after the change?

 

I'm not convinced they bled the brakes, I don't see any moisture on the caps, signs that caps were even removed, or any moisture on the valves anywhere. You may have gotten the old brake-fluid top-off treatment.

 

Thomasburk. I think you have a good eye! I agree with you. That cap has not been removed.

 

Can you post the receipt/work order to see exactly what they did?

 

But that wouldn't explain the pedal going to floor when he picked it up.

And he had brake fluid on the inside of the tires

They opened something..

 

From the pic, it didn't look oily to me. Okay maybe they hit it with brake cleaner, I don't know...

U0123 code indicates yaw sensor miscommunication, maybe OP shoud check this connection under the seat, could be a simple visual inspection and or possible correction like plug it in.

Yaw sensor underseat, as such:
