2005-2014 Toyota/Lexus (most models) Advanced DIY
C1762 on Toyota indicates an ABS hydraulic control issue -- usually a failing ABS pump motor or accumulator. Symptoms include a grinding noise when braking and ABS/VSC lights. Test the brake actuator assembly with Techstream's active test. Toyota extended warranty covered many 2006-2009 Camry/Prius actuators (TSB EG-046-11).

Honda C1762 typically points to the VSA modulator (ABS pump). Inspect under the master cylinder for brake fluid seepage -- internal leaks cause pressure loss codes. The modulator is replaced as a unit; bleed the entire ABS system with HDS after replacement or the code returns immediately.
Labor: 3-4 hours2008-2015 Nissan Rogue/Murano Advanced DIY
On Nissan crossovers, C1762 hydraulic code usually points to a failing ABS pump motor. Clear codes and drive -- if C1762 returns within a few stops, the pump motor is worn out. Used ABS modules from wreckers require coding to the vehicle with Consult. Fluid level should be inspected at every code occurrence.
