lol read my post

If the terminal in the hub/bearing unit is damaged you'll have to replace it, but it still isn't terribly expensive. I would definitely agree with what several people have suggested and recommmend taking the connectors off and packing them full of grease to keep them from corroding.

The best part is, I suggested to do this on the other sides connector (RR) of the customer's yaris I was working on, and they wouldn't approve me to do it.

Exactly, replacing a hub and paying toyotas inflated part pricing is terribly expensive to yaris owners. Especially since it's a design flaw.

Agreed. But every car has problems, just like our water pumps. They're still near the top of the list for reliability, and have very few expensive issues.

The pricing on these parts specifically isn't too bad, I was amazed that the harness was only $45...but that is probably because it is a common issue (they had 9 in stock).

I don't understand how people can drive for years with their ABS light on...I was told the car wouldn't pass inspection with it on. I'm going through the same thing now as we speak..car's in at the dealer and I'm waiting to hear the verdict.

Had the lights come on last week when it was -40, but they went away as soon as it warmed up. Knock on wood that they stay off, will be inspecting the problem area closer in the springtime.

Count me in, both lights lit up yesterday on my 2007 Yaris Sedan which has less than 50000 KM. I guess I'll have to take a look at those connectors next spring to clean them up!

Filed a complaint to Transport Canada...

Just wanted to say thanks to the forum members, in particular paulyates and fidgell.
I sprayed the connectors with wd40, removed them, blew them out with compressed air and lightly packed with white lithium grease. Drove 100 yards and the lights went out

cheers

I gave up and took it to the dealer...

They diagnosed two codes.
CO278 open circuit in ABS solenoid relay
CI249 open circuit in stop light switch circuit

x1 new stop light switch ($118.30nzd +tax)

I found the same part available #8434019025 from the states for $24.22, god we get ripped for parts here in New Zealand.

ABS light comes on, I don't own any diag stuff to plug into it so I jumpered 4 & 13. ABS light flashes 4 times then goes out, then flashes 9 times.
None of this even comes close to what is listed above.. does anyone know what it's complaining about?

The only inspection it won't pass is the safety if you plan on selling/trading in. There are no other inspections to worry about as far as I am aware.

I've been driving with these lights on for a couple of years and I really could care less. Maybe this summer I will try and clean out the connectors myself, just my driveway is gravel and isn't exactly the best to do car work in.

fidgell · 03-23-2012, 09:41 AM

Its 2 years this week since I cleaned and greased mine...STILL no reoccurance. Please try to DIY it before giving the stealerships any of your hard earned cash!!!

"G" · 03-31-2012, 11:39 AM

I'm going to attempt to replace my hub assembly with a koyo unit. Fuck aisin. Is their a write up on how to do it anywhere?

I'm going to try that as soon as the weather gets warmer. If I need a new wiring harness it's only $25 per side ... I just hope the hub side isn't corroded.

I never said I lost braking power, I said I lost ABS. BTW thank you for sharing your maturity level with all of us with your "idiot" comment.

Um, you're pretty rude. People come here for help with things they don't know or understand. Even if the question seems real simple or common sense, be gracious in your reply or just don't bother and let someone help them..

Here is how to save your toyota from rusting if you drive it in the winter >> http://www.fluid-film.com/ Spray it on all metal surfaces underneath your car and suspension. As well as these skid sensor connections and you won't have these problems. This stuff is amazing.
