The dealership would have an intelligent tester that they plug in, which checks error codes, can clear them, and checks all of the different braking functions and sensors. If you buy the Toyota service manuals, the brake control chapter is about 480 pages worth.
 
U0100 is "lost communication with ECM/PCM", which is the engine control and power control computer. Error codes are clearly pointing to computer control or communications between them.
 
Other than reseating connectors, not sure what more you might be able to do here.

Trial and error...
 
Remove and clean and burnish the battery terminal/posts and connections.
 
If problem remains repalce the battery.
 
Under $100 and if nothing else at least you have a NEW battery.

Same thing in 2007 Camry....it's an ECM Circuit Malfunction.

I'm surprised that they're not offering to fix it for free.
Although my problem was a bit different than yours (transmission jerking intermittently) they replaced my transmission gratis two times!! I still don't like the way it down shifts, but overall it's much better. Also, the service dept's initial fix was to change a part in the computer; that didn't work so they swapped out the transmission.
All I can say is good luck, and ask them why they're not doing it at no charge to you.

They say, it's 61k (1 K over the limit) on the odometer and they have no record of a problem occurring prior to the warranty expired, so they won't pay a dime and won't even sell extended warranty...
I am not really sure what to do next....I really want to get rid of the car, but who in a right state of mind would buy it with a check engine light on...
I guess, I could try calling corporate toyota again and try getting some warranty extension out of them, but they told me that it's the local dealership manager that would make a final decision on whether to pay for my problems or let me pay for them...I have already heard their answer to that one...
Any sujjestions on who else I would call???
any other ideas?
Thanks for your help,
Mac

Hey, Alex.....I don't blame you for being skeptical about your dealer's competency......especially after the experience I had with mine.
Go to the Service Manager...or sales manager, if you bought your car there....and tell them you want to see copies of all the TSB's (Technical Service Bulletins) that apply to your model of Camry. (There are a couple that I had problems with relating to the ECM and automatic transmission, but I thought these were specific to the 4 cylinder model.......but you may have your own versions to deal with.)
Don't take the risk yourself that the "fix" may or may not work; that IS the dealer's responsibility. If HE's not willing to take the chance, tell him you'd like the local Manufacturer's rep to accept it.
Good luck.
