Interesting.
My wife's pre-owned 2006 Yaris RS Auto-Hatch isn't even "3 hrs old" and I see that the dreaded ABS light has come on (was not there during the test-drive). Since we are fortunate enough to still have 1 year on the extended "and" 90 days bumper-bumper, I've already made the call to the dealership and have an apt for Tuesday. Geez, we'll see how this turns out. Red Cell. Re: 37,500km's |

Guys, Ottawa is now investigating Toyota. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you have not already, lodge a complaint with the Transport Canada Complaint Dept. so they will see this IS an issue that needs to be resolved:

Is there a repair guide for this problem? A picture of the faulty harness and such?

It would seem that once was enough for Toyota North America President Yoshimi Inaba. Just weeks after the top Toyota executive went before a congressional hearing in the United States, The Globe and Mail is reporting that Inaba has turned down a similar invitation to appear before the Canadian government. The topic of conversation? Why, the massive Toyota recall efforts and safety, of course.
Officials for the Harper Administration in Canada are expressing a great deal of disappointment at the apparent snub, with Merv Tweed, the Conservative MP chairing the Toyota committee, going so far as to say that Inaba's no-show would amount to a slight to the Canadian government and people, suggesting that Toyota perceives that the "American market is more important." The Canadian government reportedly plans to once again request that Inaba attend its hearings. If Toyota refuses the request, parliament could issue a subpoena to Inaba, though the Toyota executive neither lives nor works in Canada, meaning he could potentially avoid the summons by keeping out of the country entirely. For its part, Toyota Canada claims it does not report to Inaba and notes that CEO Yoichi Tomihara and managing director Stephen Beatty will attend on behalf of the company. UPDATE: Despite continuing to insist that Toyota North America President Yoshimi Inaba has no responsibility for matters regarding recall and safety issues in Canada, Toyota has relented and Inaba will appear before the Parliament of Canada today.

Picture of clip from another poster
Here's a pic of the ABS Sensor plug.
Credit to poster in Hub Spacer thread. These are the front sensors I think, but would not imagine a big difference. PY |

is there a way to disable abs for now like a fuse till i get to look at the sensors? Also when the abs light comes on, i hear a humming sound for a second then the brakes make a weird sound, then the light comes on. Then I can brake without abs, just normal brakes.

Yeah, there should be an ABS relay you can pull from the fuse panel under the hood.

I found in the manual a fuse number 8 30a says abs2 and a fuse number 46 50a says abs1. Does that sound right?

You should have a relay in there that says ABS.

Yeah, pulling thee will disable the ABS but will also dissable the VSC. My echo has a relay that I can pull. I just figured the Yaris had one too.

Thanks for the Fix folks!! Warning Lights were on all last winter. When I called the local dealer they played dumb with dollar signs in their eyes!! I can't image all the sensors that have been changed at the expense of owners all because of a poorly designed connection. I am going to try to silicone the entire connector before next winter. Mabye this will keep the slush out?! Would be nice if Toyota pulled up their socks on this obvious weak link in the Yaris Braking System.

Lights for brake and ABS off
It disappeared.
Must be the good weather. I'll make sure not to panic when it reappears in the winter and will just take out the fuse for the abs. I guess they'll never come clean on this problem because there is money to be made for replacing of their defective parts. |
