Someone over in the Sequoia Consumer Reviews paid $700 last June. Someone else paid $1,500! (same month).
 
Not cheap either way.

Ouch! Well, I must say that with the exception of the rear door latch breaking last year (I see from these boards that it is quite common and expensive to repair!) that I really have not had to put any money into this car and it still looks and works great. So, I guess I will call and have them do the job. I just wanted to be sure. Like I said, since they have moved to their building I seem to be getting a lot more suggestions on work that needs to be done.

I didn't check but it's good to do if yours is an interference engine.
 
Service writers tend to work on commission, so they do tend to "make suggestions".

2003 Toyota Sequoia ABS VSC Problems by tlea
Oct 29, 2009 (7:53 am)

This seems to be a common occurrence. The ABS system fails causing the VSC and Track lights as well as the break warning lights to appear. I lost control of the car with a strong pull to the left, grinding sound and inability to stop the car. The car also began to shake violently. Toyota says this is not a safety issue and will not issue a recall. The cost to fix said problem is around $4000!!!! I have contacted the NHTSA and filed a complaint, this is the only way to make Toyota responsible. If you are having the same issue PLEASE call 888-327-4236 and file a complaint. There is only strength in numbers. They must fix this before someone gets killed!!!

I brought my car to the dealer and told me the Yaw Rate Sensor and Skid Control must be replaced from $600 - 1,600. I was surprised about it since I have only 42,000 miles on it. The code is 1223 ABS control system and 1244 deceleration sensor. According to TSB#00303 - vsc Light on condition with diagnostic trouble code C1231 in the skid control computer memory. A modification to the sked control computer logic hwas bee made to prevent this condition, November 18, 2003. I think this is a defective part or system. I have read many problems regarding this...

I have the same problem and Toyota dealer will be charging me $600 up to 1,600 to replace the Yaw rate sensor and skid control system. It is rediculous for Toyota cars, and I have only 42,000 miles on it. I have also Toyota Camry and hope it will not be like that. Next time buying cars, I am going for Honda.
