    My BRAKE- ABS- VSC- Warning Lights have been on for 3 months now.

    I Finally got a Code Reader- And Got CODE C1344 [ Hydraulic System Left Rear Brake ]

    What needs repairing or adjusted?

    No one will know for sure until the troubleshooting steps in the Toyota service manual for the C1344 are performed.

    Are you going to try fixing the problem yourself? If you are, get the service manual and start going through the troubleshooting steps. If you are not going to DIY, just take the car to a good service center or dealership.

    Something with the brake system - specifically for the left rear brake.

    Could be a number of things. Brake fluid leak, air in the system, brake shoes grossly under adjusted, brake actuator fault, etc.

    You need to have the entire braking system inspected by a competent mechanic.

    (personally, I wouldn't have waited 3 months)
