| Description of the problem | Brake light will occasionally come on and stay on. I took it to a repair shop and no code could be found and the light had gone out. I had new tires put on, brake pads replaced, and rotors turned. Brake light continued to occasionally come on. Recently the brakes started making a grinding noise. I took it to toyota and was told the following codes: c1203, c1223, and c1247. Recommended brake booster and skid control computer be replaced at a cost of over $2k. Research shows that toyota knows about this repeated problem and has not issued a recall on the 2004 although they did on the 03. |
