In any case, as you say, it would be pretty tough to get in a position to pry that thing up and pry the connector off at the same time. I agree, it's easier to remove that cover. The wires look delicate, but if you're careful and find any broken I would bet they were already corroded off.

OK, thanks for all your input! (Old subject I know...)

After doing the rear I find that my BRAKE and ABS lights are still on, so I guess I need to check the front now.

Using this procedure you can find out which one is actually causing the error:

You can't replace just the sensors. Only the wires.

Exiwolfman · 04-15-2014, 10:30 PM

Sensor is I'm the hub unfortunately ull need to replace hub bearing to fix sensor and harness

The hub bearing replacement only fixes the sensor, not the harness.

limochong · 04-16-2014, 12:50 AM

Yup~ i need to replace both hubs and both wire harnesses.
Can anyone provide me with the costs for parts ?? Thanks

Before selling my Yaris I quoted buying all the necessary parts to fix the ABS / BREAK light issue and the cheapest I could get it was for around $250 but getting some genuine Toyota parts it goes up to around $500

Good luck

Well last cleaned in Nov-2010, the ABS and ((!)) light are on again. Cleaned the connections and the lights are not going out this time.

Bluevitz-rs · 05-18-2014, 03:27 PM

Connections are probably broken now. You'd have to check with small cheap sowing needles and a DVOM. Digital volt and ohm meter.

That's a darn Shame. When I bought my 08 new I couldn't find one with the abs or the side airbags either. Now I'm glad I don't have it. Abs is pretty useless anyways..

Yeah, that'll likely be the next step in the troubleshooting process

Hopefully it's the rear harnesses and not the sensors pressed into the hubs...

if u can scan it ...if it shows both sides , take car for spin after code erased when code comes back see if both or just one ..this will eliminate the good one or one that can wait...main problem is that when u get the light ..code.. u have to replace both ( hub ,harness ) cos its the sensor that is 99% gone :( and that will involve a new hub...sorry.

craigq · 06-07-2014, 06:06 PM

Replaced the rear passenger side harness (the rubber boot looked terrible, broken up etc.), that didn't clear it. Disconnected the battery cable, not sure if that's required or not as I can't recall what I did the last time, still didn't help. I then replaced the rear hub w/ABS sensor, disconnected negative battery cable, and that cleared it. Wonder when the driver-side will go

Don't have a slide hammer so I improvised a pulley-puller by using two 5" bolts and nuts/washers and some spacers to remove the old hub, surprised it worked

Just stopping back with an update. In April ('14) I reported that I had removed my sensor cables on the rear, cleaned them and put them back on. (I never did get around to doing the front.) Unfortunately, the BRAKE/ABS indicators did not go out and I just kind of resigned myself to leaving it that way for a while--maybe for good.

Well, about 6 weeks ago the BRAKE/ABS indicators turned off. Not certain the ABS is working again, but they are off. So, for a quick history:

My indicators first came on 12/21/13, but then went off the very next day.
On 1/27/14 they came on again and stayed on.
On 4/10/14 I cleaned the rear connectors, but the indicators stayed on.
Sometime in mid-July 2014 the indicators turned off again.

Weirdness. Hoping they stay off, but not counting on it. Still going to pop the fronts off and clean them before cold weather gets here.

Digging up this thread. Want to share my experience, which I don't doubt comes from the same problem.

Went to visit the museum last Sunday. Freezing rain, hurrah! Lots of slush and salt downtown as usual. Then, much like all the Torontonians who posted here, I got in the car, started pulling out of the parking garage, and wait, what? An (!) and (ABS) at the same time?

That night, found this thread, took a chance and pulled the rear sensor connectors and blasted the contacts on both ends with CRC MAF sensor cleaner, for lack of other cleaning spray. No dice, errors still stayed on.

Well guess what? Just this morning, like 30 minutes ago, driving down to the office, with error lights on as usual, I was pulling into my parking spot, and, wait, where are those lights? WTF? Just when I was starting to get used to seeing them...

I'm sure I should do those diagnostics per CTScott's info, there must be a dodgy contact somewhere.
