Yes thats the parking brake light, Does anyone know what would cause the ABS to come on sometimes, its really random, is this cause of that corroded connecor, and also does anyone know why the power steering light would come on, could it be low power steering fluid, cause it only comes on after i start steering. These lights have only started coming on after I just got my front two tires changed. Which I find quite fishy to begin with.

buddy, you are in the Canadian forum :P Some US models have tire pressure monitors.... this could be it. Quote:
the yaris does not have any powersteering fluid. It's solely powered by an electric motor. If the light does come on... it could be your motor is overheating or malfunctioning. |

just took my car to my dealer, last winter (jan 2008), I had my left rear sensor replaced. Now this winter, my right side are done. As usual, parts are backorders, have to wait for 1-2 weeks just like last time. Luckily my ECP extended warranty is paying for it.
To whomever doing their sensor, push them to do it both side. IF it's the same hardness and they are installed at the same time, it's the matter of time that both get corroded around the same time. Just like your left shoe would get same wear and tear than your right shoe! I don't understand why didn't Toyota simply replace both side from beginning. |

Same thing happened to me two days ago - both (!) and (ABS) lights were on. My wife went to the dealership, and they will replace the bloody thing once it has arrived. Her English is a tad weak, so she did not exactly remembered what the bloody thing was - but it looks like the same one from this thread...

BTW guys... my sedan has been undercoated by Toyota. my connections probably have been isolated from water and road salt. I also do yearly oil rust-proof, and they spray oil all over under the car.
onizuka, how about yours ? |

Last Sunday this bloody issue happened AGAIN with my 2007 Yaris 5DR Manual Hatchback. This is the SECOND time it has happened to me (YES, I'm annoyed! Sorry) Happened earlier this year, last winter back in Feb 08. Now, this winter, Dec 08, it had happened again (right after we got another massive dumping of snow)! Luckily getting the replacement part in was no problem for my dealership. Took my car in (bc of the ABS and (!) warning lights showing), and after the apt they told me the issue (something abt the hub assembly ???? i dunno, was over my head...) and that i would have to come back the next day for the fix - getting the part the next day wasnt an issue up here. I'm covered under warranty, but that expires this coming May 09. So since this has now happened TWICE in less than a year, I'm kinda concerned (and annoyed). I asked out of curiosity what it would likely cost me to fix, just a general ballpark i said..... and was told around the $400! JESUS f*cking jehovah! Anyways, so sum this up, I have a few questions to clear up. If this goes on me again when I'm out of warranty, I dont wanna be shelling out money for something that is NON-ESSENTIAL to my car's operations (while im still making monthly pymts) ie. If i dont need to fix it (if it wont cause further issues or complications for my car), i dont wanna fix it. Can I just say "screw it" and save the $400+ and live w/o ABS and be fine? There'll be no detriment to my car, right? There's no danger of creating further problems for my Yaris in the future if i dont address this ABS failure? As well, if the answer above is YES, and i chose to live w/o ABS (not huge big deal for me), is there a way they can flash (or whatever the term is) the car's computer so i dont have to live w/ the ABS and (!) lights being perpetually on!?? I would hate to have to deal with and see those lights on constantly if this was an issue i was gonna just ignore. Can turning them off (as it relates to this ABS failure issue) be done? (obvi i would still want my (!) to be on when i have the parking brake up... i drive a manual. i am fond of that indicator. lol) Thanks for the input ppl. Glad to see im not the only Yaris owner w/ this bloody issue. UGH. Feel annoyed for us all though. this feels like an "annoying VW" issue as far as im concerned... :S Jem

And all i know from last time, per my notes which i reviewed, was that "Need an ABS speed sensor for back breaks." So it had to do w/ my back sensors, but dont know if it was both L and R or just one or the other. Huh. Anyways, GREAT THREAD, so glad to have found it! Jem

Thank you for your input.
I wonder if we could start a survey/petition for a recall. If enough people getting the same problem, they should not hide this and make it an official recall. JEM: your service invoice should indicate which side of sensor they replaced. Have a close look on that. Quote:

Is anyone with a sedan having this problem?
I haven't had this problem on our sedan yet, and so far, it looks like everyone having issues owns hatches. |

i would like to know if, of all those who had the problem, had the car rust proofed, or had undercoat done.

Edit. Though that doesn't remove Toyota's responsibility to fix what sounds like a design/manufacturing flaw. |
