    I'm having trouble with my 2010 Prius. It's got the dreaded and expensive ABS Symptoms. I had the lights come up and the spongey brakes not too long after I bought the Prius back in 2021 and have been riding without regenerative brakes. Recently on a drive back home, the car began beeping repeatedly with no new symptoms and no new lights on the dash. I tested the 12v battery found it was bad and replaced it. I checked the codes with an OBD2 scanner and got the codes: C1252 C1253 C1256 C1391 U0155 for the ABS control unit #2. I haven't driven the car since in fear that the brakes will just outright fail. I know taking it to the dealer will cost me an arm and a leg so I'm hoping someone will know a mechanic that works on Prius in the East Dallas/ Mesquite area. Thanks!

    If you can’t find someone local try Hometown Hybrids in Houston. They do mobile service to DFW for some services.
