| Description of the problem | My abs and brake warning lights came on at the same time on my 2007 yaris sedan. The manual states to contact the dealer immediately in this situation. The abs is disabled in this situation. The problem was a left rear wheel speed sensor shorted (code p0215). Due to excessive corrosion on the connection the wiring harness was also replaced. The replaced parts were 89544-02070 (sensor, skid control) and 89516-52100 (wire, skid control). The amount of corrosion on the sensor and connecting wires on the yaris point to a potential design issue. As it turns out this is a common problem on 2007 and 2008 yaris's. Toyota has issued a tbs, thus they are aware of the problem. The problem appears to develop when the cars are driven in winter conditions.. I. E. Snow... As was the case with mine yaris. Other owners have had abs systems operate improperly as a result and experienced braking problems. |
