The outer clip does need to be removed. Look closely at it and you will see the line where it splits.

OK, I'm not sure I did it right, but I managed to get the connectors off to inspect them without damaging them. I'm still a little confused, though.

I have a service manual on CD, so I found instructions on page AH-14 -- "AXLE – REAR AXLE HUB AND BEARING" and there it provides the instructions:
DISCONNECT SKID CONTROL SENSOR WIRE (w/ABS)
(a) Using a screwdriver, remove the claw of the connector lock portion and disconnect the skid control sensor wire connector.

NOTICE: Do not remove the connector cover from the connector because the skid control sensor wire may be damaged.

I could not see any "claw" to remove; in fact I don't think there even is one. What I did is I followed CTScott's instruction (I think...) to remove that clip that you can raise up on top of the sensor with a screwdriver. Well, turns out it is sort of a clamshell like cover that surrounds the whole connector. In my photo below you can see that there is a slotted locking clip that snaps onto a little nub; actually there is one on top and on the bottom. To get the cover off you have to raise both clips and work the thing off.

With the cover off I took a screwdriver and gingerly worked the connector off. It did finally kind of pop off. I did not find any broken pins or anything.

Is that what I was supposed to do, CTScott? When concerns me is that the manual says "Do not remove the connector cover." Well, if by "connector cover" they mean that clamshell thing that surrounds the connector, that ship done sailed. I did not damage the wires, though, and managed to get it back on OK after reattaching the connector.

When I had the connector off I checked it for that "claw" they said to remove. I did not find any separate part that I could have removed. That's what confuses me about this whole thing.

They show to release the connector while it is inside of the cover. That may be possible to do if you can get into just the right position, but I find it much easier to remove the cover. As long as you are careful with the cover removal you will not hurt the wire.

So, is that thing they show to pry up in their picture actually a separate piece that you "remove" as they say, or do they mean to just pry it up to release it from a tooth or something? They give you the impression that there is like a clip that you actually pry out and remove. As I said, I looked at the connector carefully and it seemed like it was all one piece to me.

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.

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

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

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