....and after getting everything back together and starting up for the first time, the ABS dash light came on?! No beeps, no buzzing, no CEL codes to read. I drove around the block a couple times and brakes seem to be in full working order as good as they have been all along.
.... - does anyone think this could be just a fuse or other smaller issue?
Did you try this kit out? I have gotten codes c1256 accumulator low pressure in the past.I think my system needs attention ASAP. Are there any other Toyota vehicles with brake systems similar to this?Anyone install this or a similar kit? I tightened up my stock hand brake and tried to stop the truck while rolling down a hill...it did not go well. I'd like to upgrade my hand brake to ensure a good backup. Any other recommendations?
If your accumulator has failed then that part's what you need, the last few failures have been the 12vdc motor that runs on demand to drive the pump which charges that accumulator. It appears Toyota doesn't sell just the replacement motor, you need to either fix it (have a new commutator soldered in with new brushes) or buy the $$$ motor/pump/accumulator assembly. At least that's my understanding.
Edit. Pump Assembly brake booster - 47960-60010 which is just the pump and motor (no accumulator) can be had for $900 ish, or $600 from Amayama.

I ordered that E-brake kit nearly a year ago, and installed it in the spring. I also got their brake shoes, in order to make the brakes as good as possible. Not impressed tho' - What it does is to push the upper ends of the shoes further apart, so that you need less adjustment at the lower end. Also the return springs are stronger, but with both the forward and rear springs equal (not like OE) and so thick that they are difficult to fit in the groove on the center pin/bolt. Also, as the top end of the shoes are further apart, the top end hardly goes behind the retaining washer/plate at the center pin/bolt, making it possible for the shoes to dislocate.Did you try this kit out? ...
