ABS and "!" lights are ON again! - Page 16 - Toyota Yaris Forums

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

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.

Dave · 03-17-2011, 05:11 PM

How would hardwiring around the sensor solve the problem?

Maybe I'm not understanding your idea properly.

It seems to me that if you were to do that, you'd still be driving a car without a functioning speed sensor that no longer has ABS. You might as well just pull the fuse and not cut any wires. I'd hate to have to explain to my insurance company that I got in an accident because I cut a bunch of wires off my brakes.

WeeYari · 03-17-2011, 05:20 PM

speed sensor -> connector -> wires

proposed solution:

speed sensor -> wires

Since the issue is corrosion in the connector, the idea put forth by yaris2010RS is to directly bypass the connector and hard wire direct to the sensor.

Dave · 03-17-2011, 05:52 PM

Riiiiight. Sorry, it's been a long day. My bad.

stuffy · 03-17-2011, 11:07 PM

i'm writing a letter to the wheels section of the toronto star regarding this, perhaps if more of us did that we would get some attention and therefore action from toyota canada.

here's the email for the editorial staff of the wheels section if anyone else feels so inclined:
wheels@thestar.ca

stuffy · 03-25-2011, 04:09 PM

after a couple of calls to the service manager of my dealership and toyota canada, they ended up covering 80% of the price to replace the faulty sensor and wiring harness on my yaris,
so it cost $75 plus the initial $50 diagnostic (this is for the one side only).

while i was happy that it did not cost $416 like i was quoted i'm still not entirely satisfied as i think this is a defective part.
i think there's a good chance the other side will eventually go as well so i'm wondering if they will hand me the same token for that one?
