hey, i just bought a lexus ls460 and the brake are hard. after driving around for a while like a dummy the brakes going to the floor. I took it to the dealership and they told me the brake pump anti-lock actuator. have anybody had this problem with the brake system

 

The brake actuator failure is a know problem with here cars and if it's at the dealer you can expect to pay $3,000 for the repair...maybe more.you can buy used actuators for around $700 and have someone else install it, but it sounds like it's a little late for that.

 

I actually found it on eBay for $700 just got it installed works perfectly have to reprogram it

 

Awesome! Dealer reprogram it, or independent?

 

Wow, nice work. Am I missing something or did you find it on eBay and have it installed within 2.5 hours of your first post?

 

Lol. I was thinking the same thing

 

can anybody give me some clarification about exactly what part is failing? I believe my LS is showing symptoms of this problem. There is a business locally that sells these abs modules. Is it the abs module itself? or the piece mounted beside it with the black cylinder? i assumed this was the pump motor.

These abs models have several part numbers, does it matter which one I buy? do these modules need to be programmed at all or are they plug and play? I am a mechanic with quite a bit of experience but an unfamiliar with these brake systems.

I wish it had a normal brake booster lol.
