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

In my case it was exactly the slushy/salty scenario that seemed to trigger the problem. I am happy to say that even though I only did the rear connectors last April, so far, my indicators have not come back on since last July. The ABS has kicked in a couple times, so I know it works. Now, it is probably accurate to say that, this winter, we have not done as much driving in slushy weather as the winter before. Of course, after I cleaned the rears the indicators didn't go out for 3 months. Did my cleaning actually fix the problem, or was it somewhere else and it finally dried out over the Summer? Who knows. In any case, I'm hoping the problem does not resurface as I do not need that expensive repair. If it happens again I'll clean the fronts and if that doesn't fix it I'll probably just live without the ABS.
