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

Bumping this thread because it's almost winter again, and people may want to check their sensors when they change over to winter tires.

I'm thinking of switching my tires in the next three weeks, and was planning on cleaning the speed sensors (thanks to fidgell for the picture in post 232!) while I've got things apart. My warranty is up and I'm not paying $800 for a garage to do this for me.

So, for those that have successfully done the fix, I clean the dirt out of the sensor connectors with WD40 and compressed air, then top it off with a little dielectric grease before snapping it back together?

I wish I would've back in November... We had our first couple of days of snow and salt on the roads, and the brake and ABS warning lights showed up on the dash. I cleaned the connections and lubed them with some dielectric grease this afternoon. Hopefully it works
