Failed To Air Bleed brakes with Techstream

Updates:

After actuator replacement and not being able to properly bleed brakes via Techstream. Assuming that after the initial bleeding I did right after the replacement there was still air in the lines.
I took the car to the dealer asking them to bleed the brakes only, as I saw on the on the other website that a proper bleeding worked out for some folks and they didn’t have any codes after.
Going to the Dealer (Jack Taylor Toyota Alexandria, VA) was a bad experience overall. My car was kept there for 2 days. I couldn’t get in touch with them and they didn’t fix the problem, but they didn’t mind charging me 180$. I complained, since they’ve locked my key in the car as well and had to forcibly open the car.
The service advisor guy was trying to convince me of the bat how the pump we installed is faulty. W/o even looking at the car.
Bad experience altogether.

I came and pick up my car and the they’ve said that they bled the brakes, but that didn’t fix it and the same code is still on - C1343 (hydraulics RR). This was a pure BS. Car was braking fine, better than before.

Fix:

I took the car home and connected the Techstream and I read carefully what stated on their service papers: “failed to perform linear solenoid setting” multiple fails.
I researched and this was pretty simple procedure via Techstream.
This video was very useful, although the guy is fixing the 2015 Avalon hybrid, the problem-fix is the same:

I did the 1) ECU reset, which is recommended before you do 2) Linear Solenoid Setting procedure. I held my fingers crossed for those 120sec. The pump was making noises and you can hear it sending the fluid to every line and after that I checked to clean the DTC. There was none.
I turned the car on and off just to make sure and drove around the parking lot, it worked like a charm.

Conclusion: dealer forgot to reset the ECU module and tried Linear Solenoid Setting and failed or maybe they didn’t even bother?

I basically payed 155$ (dropped from 180$ after I complained) only for them to bleed one brake line and hold the car for 2 days.

Anyway, don’t take it to the dealer, just have patience and do it yourself and troubleshoot. I drove the car for a whole week so far. Brakes are perfect!

You should have been there, the amount of ignorance and lack of customer service received was at the verge of arrogance. I felt embarrassed.
The guy told first told me over the phone that the pump you buy online is not original Toyota and then after he tried to explain me how it can be anything bc the car has 300k miles.
