Default ABS Brake actuator question? possibly shoudnt worry?

I recently purchased an 08 ls 460 and started noticing the infamous clicking sound coming from the ABS brake actuator under the hood. A $3000plus fix that is not in the budget nor will it ever be!..After doing some research trying to figure out what the actuator does i stumble across this Lexus technincian PDF
..It clearly states on page 2 that "If a Toyota ABS system malfuctions, normal braking will not be affected!...My worry has never been the sound it makes,.. but that of me not being able to brake when needed!!...What do you guys think about this? is it true?...I hope it is because im tired of worrying

Why don't you ask your local dealer?

the clicking is an annoyance but not an indication of failure. if you are out of warranty and want to pay thousands to replace..have fun with that.
