Reset via OBD reader

  • Clear the code manually using a scan tool that supports ABS (not all OBD2 readers do)
  • "Paperclip reset" or pedal dance (below), but these don't always work on Gen 2 Priuses

Paperclip reset

  1. Turn the ignition OFF.
  2. Use a paperclip or jumper wire to short terminals 4 (CG) and 13 (TC) on the OBD2 connector.
  3. Turn ignition ON (not START), wait for the ABS light to start blinking.
  4. After a few seconds, remove the jumper and turn the ignition OFF.
  5. Start the car normally — if successful, the warning light may be off.
