2007 Toyota Estima ACR50 Intermittent ABS & Warning Lights Issue: Fault Codes U0129, C1249, U0073

Model: 2007 Toyota Estima ACR50 Fault Code: C1249 Posted: 2018-09-24 00:39

Hi there. I own a 2007 Toyota Estima ACR50 and am experiencing intermittent warning lights and driving issues. When the problem occurs, the ABS light comes on first, followed by brake light, engine light, and power steering light. The power steering becomes unusually stiff, and the speedometer needle drops unexpectedly—though other instruments function normally. Notably, when these warnings turn off, the speedometer reading slightly increases. Turning on the front fog lights temporarily resolves all warning lights except for the ABS light. I have diagnosed fault codes U0129, C1249, and U-0073. I previously replaced the brake light switch (for code C1249), but the issue persists. The problem appears to be related to the ABS system, as symptoms resolve when the fog lights are turned on. Based on my experience, replacing a specific component in the ABS system has resolved the issue.

Hello, did you ever fix these problems? I am having similar issues with my 2007 Toyota Estima ACR50 and would greatly appreciate any advice or troubleshooting steps you can share.

Yes, I resolved it—specifically by replacing the ABS module located behind the engine, where two coolant pipes run into the passenger side.

Can you please help me? I have exactly the same symptoms. Could you clarify which part of the ABS system you replaced?

It was the ABS control unit, located behind the engine near where two coolant pipes connect to the passenger side. After installing a new one, all warning lights disappeared. I hope this matches your situation.

Is that the ABS control module or the ABS pump?

It's the ABS control module, which connects to several chrome pipes. You can find it on eBay with item number 393860370731.
