Does anyone have any pics/video of what things will look like after you get the cover off. Trying to figure out how the cover opens.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks...

Just want to bump this post as I am looking for the same info. I took the tire off today and had a look, but was not sure where to put my screwdriver to pop off the cap. Since its -10C today I did mess with it to much in fear of breaking it. Any help would be appreciated.

As previously noted my 2007 Toyota Yaris (out of warranty)ABS brake were finally repaired a few weeks ago. Still working fine!
The total was $52.00 for the computer scan and this you need to do so Toyota dealer can advise you of the fault, as well as estimate costs. Then ask the dealer for a good will gesture and they should have a response back to you within a day. My total to replace the two rear sensors was $142.00 including tax for parts and labour. Toyota Canada picked up 60% and local Toyota Dealer picked up 20%. Good Luck to all the Yaris owners going after the ABS fix, this should be a free recall, we all know this; but at least Toyota picked up 80% for me !

You wouldn't happen to have a letter from Toyota Canada indicating they would pay 60% you could send me would you??

My dealer wanted $76 to plug it into the computer.

Well if I can get 80% paid like spann, I would rather do that. I am assuming that they replaced the sensor and harness with the newer and improved connection that has come out.

spann1 · 02-22-2011, 10:58 PM

Yes Toyota replaced the sensors on both rear brakes and both cables complete.
This is a different connection than the original connections so it should resolve any future issues. (We Hope!)

ABS + BREAK lights just turn on at the same time, I have taken many times these connectors on and off (rear) , I just can't think of why it happens over and over. Toyota please take notice! and I should read all this tread.

This thread is getting VERY interesting. Yes, I am the original owner of this thread. Back in 2008, I was complaining about how my sensor failed in 2007 on one side, and 2008 on the other. Today as temperature is warming up, guess what...my sensors failed again. Back in 2008, I got them replaced by Toyota. It appears that the new/modified/improved/watever sensor hardness is no more protection than the original one. My car has only 130000km, not bad for a car that is purchased since 2005. This is my first and my last Toyota!

i just discovered this problem on my car this winter, occassionally the two lights would come on and the abs would be disengaged.

we had A LOT of snow this winter so i thought maybe snow was getting packed in around the sensor or something, the problem went away for a long time but now that it's getting warmer it's actually getting worse.

my car is an 06 with 125,000 kms on it

derickveliz2 · 03-14-2011, 03:09 PM

As soon as I posted on this thread my lights went off, so "no problema"

Good luck with that. I think both sides are a $1000-1200 repair.

it will probably come back on...mine did the same thing

i talked to toyota canada...apparently they have no idea of such a problem with the yaris
called my dealership and they are definitely aware of an issue, they said it's possibly moisture getting into the sensors, i have an appt on friday so i'll see

onizuka · 03-16-2011, 11:24 PM

Toyota is in full denial mode on this issue. Just like they did on the accelerator problem on Camrys and Lexus. How can they not know about this issue? the parts are in constant backorders...."geeezz...why would this parts becoming so popular? as popular as the Netz emblems..."

derickveliz2 · 03-17-2011, 12:11 AM

I'm about to remove the camber kit in the rear axle, so I have to disconnect the ABS "Again"! (I've done it at least half a dozen times.

It's very easy to do, but it's very easy to break them too.

yaris2010RS · 03-17-2011, 12:23 AM

hey...if the issue is the connector cant u cut them off and hard wire them together?

auxmike · 03-17-2011, 12:58 AM

Glad I don't have ABS on mine, seems like a big hassel...

Yes it could be done, I would like hear TCScott's opinion first.

Once I pulled too hard and I end up with 2 single wires in my hand, put them back in and it was ok. I was ready to cut and solder the wires my self.
