My Autel MD802 scanner reads my brake module (codes and live data), i think there is a slightly cheaper one that only works on Asian vehicles.

Probably the cheapest way is if you have an old laptop (windows XP or Windows 7 32 bit) you can get a knock off Toyota Mini VCJ J2534 cable which may just by coincidence happen to have a virus containing copy of Toyota Techstream with it from China... *cough cough* The factory software will read all codes and modules and display live data. I think i got mine for $13.

It doesn't seem that the brakes are dragging, and they feel the same as before the lights, so I think it will be alright to keep going as is. It just psyches me out every time I look over while driving.

Unfortunately the laptop I have with me is ubuntu and windows 10. Ill do some digging on that though, thanks for the advice. I do have the torque app paid version, not sure if that makes any difference. Thanks for chiming in!
