Abnormal Brake Pedal Response on First Depression [04/2018 - ]: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Toyota Avalon, 2021 Toyota Avalon, 2020 Toyota Avalon, and 2019 Toyota Avalon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the vehicle has been stopped without opening or closing the driver door for a long period of time, the electronically controlled brake system will not be ready and sufficient fluid pressure may not be stored in the accumulator. In this case, the brake pedal response may not be the same as usual the first time the brake pedal is depressed. This is not a malfunction.
