| Description of the problem | A bad connector leading to the abs speed sensor failed on our toyota yaris causing two warning lights to come on. Owners manual states to "stop immediately and contact toyota dealer". Abs speed sensor was replaced at a cost of over $500 but in fact the problem is a corroded connector. Toyota and dealer stated that a technical serivce bulletin was issued regarding this problem. I was then told that because a "connector" not a "module" failed this problem in not subject to a recall. However, since manual says to "stop immediately" which freaked out my wife this clearly is a safety problem. Also, it should not take $500 to replace a faulty connector. I found a chat-room online where it became clear that many others are having this problem. *cn |
