C1391Brake accumulator leak detected

  • Toyota/Lexus code · ABS / stability control
  • Lights a warning lamp
How the car detects it
The skid control unit sees the accumulator pressure falling when it should hold steady, which points to fluid leaking inside the brake booster or actuator. Toyota has run support programs that cover the brake booster and pump on some hybrids (for example 2015-2017 Prius c and 2014-2016 Highlander Hybrid), using this code as proof. Braking still works, but the brake assist may be reduced and the pedal can feel different. If the red brake warning light is on, have the car checked before driving further.
