GS Hybrid Brake Booster Issue

My 2007 Lexus GS hybrid is acting up. I'm getting an error on the speedometer, braking is weak, and there's a stored error code. Could this be a bad brake booster pressure sensor from a bad brake bleed?

GS owner here! Sounds familiar. Did the ABS light come on? I had similar symptoms on my GS, it was a pain. Brake pedal feel weird?

Yeah, the ABS light comes on sometimes. And the brake pedal feels… unsettling. Was it the brake booster pressure sensor? Any specific diagnostic code?

Yup, it was the brake booster pressure sensor. I messed up bleeding the brakes after replacing the pads. Get it checked at a workshop; hybrid brakes are complex.

You were right! The diagnostic confirmed it – brake booster pressure sensor, from a bad brake bleed. Cost me 90€. Thanks!
