2007 Toyota Sequoia Brake Light On

Hey Scotty,

The brake light comes on after my truck heats up, especially in hot summer days. This was intermittent, but now it goes on regardless of temp and within 5 min of start up.  I have a C1223 and a C1247 error code.  The C1223 is an abs malfunction code and the C1247 is a stoke sensor.  I have seen on the internet, various forums discussion similar conditions and dealer horror stories of replacing parts and not fixing this.  I did read one person that bought and installed a salvaged replacement booster and master cylinder that fixed this.  I believe the actual stroke sensor is in the brake booster, but is not a serviceable part, so this fix sort of makes sense, if it is just a sensor issue. 

The brakes work normally still and I have had this light and the stroke sensor issue for 30k miles now with no braking issues. I have been getting the car inspected on "cool" June morning, but the light is on all the time now, so I have until next June to finally sort this out.

Any suggestions on this before I replace this booster, hoping it corrects this issue.  Thanks!

the booster is probably cheaper than a new ABS module, so not a bad starting point.

But check the easy stuff 1st. Make sure you check the electricals for faults first.
