Lexus LX brake booster pressure sensor failure

Hi, I have a 2016 Lexus LX with a gasoline engine and 107741 km. I'm getting an error message on the speedometer and poor braking performance. The error memory shows a brake booster pressure sensor failure. Could this be related to a brake bleeding issue?

A 2016 Lexus LX owner experienced an error message and poor braking performance, with diagnostics indicating a brake booster pressure sensor failure. The issue was suspected to be related to incorrect brake bleeding. A similar case was resolved by re-bleeding the brake system and checking the sensor, leading to a recommendation for professional inspection. The problem was ultimately fixed by re-bleeding the brakes and replacing the sensor, restoring normal function.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

I had a similar problem with my LX a while back. Are you sure the brake system bleeding was done correctly? A faulty bleed can definitely cause pressure issues in the brake booster. Might be worth checking the ABS system too.

Thanks for the advice. How did you resolve your problem?

For me it was definitely linked to a bad brake bleeding. I went to a workshop because I don't have the tools to do it myself. They re-bled the system properly, checked the sensor, and everything went back to normal. I'd recommend getting a professional to take a look.

Thanks, I'll do that. It seems you were right. Took it to a workshop and they confirmed the incorrect bleeding. They re-bled the brakes and replaced the brake booster pressure sensor. Cost me 90€ and now it works like a charm!
