ABS Actuator Replacement...
My brakes are chirpping and squealing too when they are transitioning from regenerative to conventional braking. Dealer says its probably the brake actuators and that it'll set me back 2-3k. Has anyone done this replacement DYI with a techstream cable or taken apart the actuator and see if its repairable ?

I went to the dealership yesterday and they flushed it for free due to the service bulletin. It's better, a lot less noisy now but I believe eventually it will need replacing. I've asked the dealership and Lexus to see if they can goodwill the part since I bought the car from them last week. They've ordered the part from Japan (2200 dollars for just the part!) and by the time it comes in they'll have an answer from lexus hq as to whether or not they will goodwill it. Crossing my fingers.
No warning lights, just sounds terrible when I brake. Kind of like killing a baby seal.
