#108 of 151 2001 Avalon losing brake fluid by edwardwy Jul 26, 2006 (12:49 pm)
I am losing brake fluid every 2000 miles. There is no evidence of the wheel cylinders leaking. The last time I added fluid I got a lot of white smoke from the exhaust. It smelled like brake fluid could this be. Any ideas Replies to this message: gomst1 (Jul 26, 2006 7:05 pm)

Replying to: edwardwy (Jul 26, 2006 12:49 pm) Most likely there is a leak at the brake master cylinder. That leak goes to the brake booster and sucked by the engine from the vacuum line connected to the brake booster. I believe you should be able to visually see the leak if you can see/access that part of the brake pedal where the brake pushrod is seated. Good luck.
#110 of 151 "TRAC OFF" light by claytonp Jul 26, 2006 (1:21 pm)
I recently bought a 99 Avalon with just over 119,000 miles on it. I drove it about 75-80 miles without any problems and all the sudden the "TRAC OFF" light came on? The owners manual says to take it to the dealer but the wheels are not spining when I step on the gas and there does not seem to be any indication of a problem. Any ideas here?

Just had one fail on my 05 Av. Under warranty but already this model has been back to dealer for more warranty work than my 96 Av was.

Replying to: tlkoer (May 22, 2006 7:17 am) Anyone figure out how to fix the short buzzing noise that occurs when depressing the brake pedal?
#114 of 151 Re: vsc off/abs lights on [whilst] UPDATE by whilst Sep 20, 2006 (4:29 pm)
Replying to: whilst (Jun 19, 2006 9:15 am) Problem was bad Power Brake Booster. Air leak from around clevis pushrod allowed ambient air(14.7psi) to gradually push diaphragm to apply pressure on Master Cylinder and causing "Master cylinder pressure sensor" to cause ECU to light up ALL lights! I found this and repaired. Dealer wanted to diagnose for 3 hrs. and replace sensor to see what else was needed!! Screw that. $550 part and my 2.5 hrs. labor-Fixed.

Replying to: whitcre (Dec 28, 2006 8:44 pm) You may have a brake light bulb that is not of the correct wattage. The amount of current draw from the brake bulbs is what is being monitored. I don't think your problem is with the brake switch. Good luck.

Replying to: whitcre (Dec 28, 2006 8:44 pm) Having been through this exercise several times with my '95, I went ahead & changed all rear lights - tail, stop (including the one in the rear window), turn signal, license plate, etc. The warning light in the dash has stayed out for 2 years now.   Tom Replies to this message: steve326a (Dec 30, 2006 4:05 pm)
