ABS light on on other Prius years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2016.
What this problem usually is
This is the narrower sheet inside brake problems for the anti-lock brake (ABS) warning light. What separates it from the wider brake sheet is that most owners here aren't describing worn pads or grinding. They're describing a light, and often a list of features that quit along with it.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the ABS pump (21 reports) and the ABS module (3 reports).
Recalls and investigations

“ABS break actuator and abs pump failed while driving losing loss of breaking. Toyota is aware of this problem but refuse to fix this notorious and dangerous problem they have with multiple model years. I was not informed of the limited service campaign. This should be recalled as a safety to the public.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 1 of 46 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
