ABS BRAKE light FIX sedan
I had the yellow ABS light and the red BRAKE light illuminated 24/7. My procedure fixed this on the first try, and it took two drive cycles for the lights to resolve. The job takes about an hour. My connectors were visibly crusty and this was my procedure for my 2007 Yaris sedan:
1. Remove rear wheels 2. Spray ABS connector liberally with brake clean 3. Insert screwdriver at the base of the connector, really close to the hub, and pry the connector off (maybe there is a proper way to take it off, search any replies) it will give and the connector will pop off, always one male end on the hub with one female end loose and connected to the wires (with a plastic cover/shroud that may come loose, appears to just latch back together, similar to a plastic Easter egg, but when my rear right didn't clasp back together I ignored it, it appears to just be a shield) 4. Spray inside the male and female ends of the connector liberally with brake clean, focusing on where the pins go but also cleaning the whole connector 5. Applied supertech multi-complex grease (red n tacky) to whole female connector. Smeared a massive glob on the whole connector that is attached to the wires (female end) 6. Press connector back together as far as possible, pressing firm multiple times 7. Reinstall wheel and torque lug nuts 8. Complete. Relax and do two drive cycles I hope this helps. I couldn't find any information about this procedure and this solved those two lights on my dash that were preventing a safety inspection pass. My brake light now illuminates properly, only when I apply the hand brake. God bless and have a wonderful day Keywords: clean, rear, wheel speed sensor, dielectric, contact |
