Service bulletin T-SB-0174-12 Rev

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

TSB: Some 2004 ? 2009 model year Prius vehicles may exhibit a MIL ?ON? and brake warning lights (ABS/VSC) illuminated in the instrument panel with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C1247 (Stroke Sensor Malfunction) stored in the ABS/VSC Electronic Control Unit (ECU). This DTC may set as a result of an overly sensitive monitoring logic without any other ABS/VSC system issue. Follow the Repair Procedure in this bulletin to properly diagnose the system and, if necessary, replace the ABS/VSC ECU with an ECU containing the updated monitoring logic.
