I don't have ABS, but I did have a seatbelt problem. It still hasn't been fixed. Which doesn't matter anymore, the car is gutted out and out of warranty! LOL.

I did try to meet with someone at Toyota BC's head office in Richmond and the only person to talk to there is the security guard. I couldn't even find out who I could talk to.

It's a shame that Toyota thinks they're so big that they can't talk to a customer. They seem to leave it to the dealers to handle all the mess and nowadays it seems the dealers aren't any better. My GF has a 2009 Corolla which has been recalled..... She's had to bring it in three times and it's still not fixed.

Do you guys really need ABS? Why not just take it out?

The issue is we PAID for ABS, which is an added safety feature. Why would we just 'take it out'? That's giving up!

mojoyaris · 02-26-2010, 10:22 PM

I never liked the ABS in the Yaris. It kicked in too early for my taste. However since you wanted it in the first place it should be working in the first place. I totally agree with you and how Toyota should be doing something. Especially in light of all of this.

Have to say, I'm really dissapointed in them. It'd be nice for them to give me a call and prove otherwise.

Toyota, Lexus Canada, Hope you're reading this and give me a shout. You know who I am. Ask Chad.

Interesting.

My wife's pre-owned 2006 Yaris RS Auto-Hatch isn't even "3 hrs old" and I see that the dreaded ABS light has come on (was not there during the test-drive). Since we are fortunate enough to still have 1 year on the extended "and" 90 days bumper-bumper, I've already made the call to the dealership and have an apt for Tuesday.

Geez, we'll see how this turns out.

Guys, Ottawa is now investigating Toyota. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you have not already, lodge a complaint with the Transport Canada Complaint Dept. so they will see this IS an issue that needs to be resolved:

Remember, the more people complain, the more Ottawa will have a case to pressure Toyota into doing something!

Is there a repair guide for this problem? A picture of the faulty harness and such?

Here's a pic of the ABS Sensor plug.

These are the front sensors I think, but would not imagine a big difference.

It would seem that once was enough for Toyota North America President Yoshimi Inaba. Just weeks after the top Toyota executive went before a congressional hearing in the United States, The Globe and Mail is reporting that Inaba has turned down a similar invitation to appear before the Canadian government. The topic of conversation? Why, the massive Toyota recall efforts and safety, of course.

Officials for the Harper Administration in Canada are expressing a great deal of disappointment at the apparent snub, with Merv Tweed, the Conservative MP chairing the Toyota committee, going so far as to say that Inaba's no-show would amount to a slight to the Canadian government and people, suggesting that Toyota perceives that the "American market is more important."

The Canadian government reportedly plans to once again request that Inaba attend its hearings. If Toyota refuses the request, parliament could issue a subpoena to Inaba, though the Toyota executive neither lives nor works in Canada, meaning he could potentially avoid the summons by keeping out of the country entirely.

For its part, Toyota Canada claims it does not report to Inaba and notes that CEO Yoichi Tomihara and managing director Stephen Beatty will attend on behalf of the company.

UPDATE: Despite continuing to insist that Toyota North America President Yoshimi Inaba has no responsibility for matters regarding recall and safety issues in Canada, Toyota has relented and Inaba will appear before the Parliament of Canada today.

Yeah, there should be an ABS relay you can pull from the fuse panel under the hood.

jznomoney · 03-22-2010, 05:06 PM

I found in the manual a fuse number 8 30a says abs2 and a fuse number 46 50a says abs1. Does that sound right?

Bluevitz-rs · 03-22-2010, 05:33 PM

You should have a relay in there that says ABS.

jznomoney · 03-22-2010, 05:46 PM

so its not abs1 or abs2 on this diagram?

Bluevitz-rs · 03-22-2010, 07:02 PM

Yeah, pulling thee will disable the ABS but will also dissable the VSC. My echo has a relay that I can pull. I just figured the Yaris had one too.

fidgell · 03-30-2010, 02:17 PM

So, its been a few months and the problem hasnt returned!!! Ive switched back to summer wheels so shouldnt see it again this year at least... anyway here's pictures of the affected site for those who messaged me. Sorry it took so long!

Luxley · 04-22-2010, 12:53 PM

Thanks for the Fix folks!! Warning Lights were on all last winter. When I called the local dealer they played dumb with dollar signs in their eyes!! I can't image all the sensors that have been changed at the expense of owners all because of a poorly designed connection. I am going to try to silicone the entire connector before next winter. Mabye this will keep the slush out?! Would be nice if Toyota pulled up their socks on this obvious weak link in the Yaris Braking System.

Jake · 04-22-2010, 04:57 PM

It disappeared.
Must be the good weather.
I'll make sure not to panic when it reappears in the winter and will just take out the fuse for the abs.

I guess they'll never come clean on this problem because there is money to be made for replacing of their defective parts.
