Boston suburb
It is hot here in North East (might be the reason, but I doubt).

Getting from grocery store - brake light goes on. Brakes seem to be working. So I figure/hope - brake fluid level is a bit low so I will top it off at home.

Midway on freeway - ABS light , Stability off, VSC off and ! turn on and the car continuously beeps.

Car full of frozen food.... Short story - I made it home driving super carefully - had only few stop lights in suburban area. Brake pedal was quite hard and had to push it to the floor to stop. I know.... probably not the brightest idea, but I figured I will go slowly to a side of the road if needed and let it stop and there was almost no traffic.

Codes I got: C1223, C1252, C1256. All point to brake booster - correct? I did not have time to deal with this further tonight. Not sure where brake fluid level is.

Few questions: which brake fluid type should I use? Do I have to get Toyota one or would any respectable brand do?

Anything I can do/check myself? I am a ok with electrical/light mechanical stuff, have ramps, but not lift.

Thank you!
