Can't believe it took me so long to find this channel. It already inspired me to tackle some overdue maintenance on my Camry hybrid. Keep those video's coming!

Great video as usual. Just wanted to mention what I have found to work to prevent rodent damage. I purchased concentrated Peppermint oil, mix 2 oz. per gallon of warm water. Use a small pump up sprayer and spray the vehicle engine compartment and underside every two weeks. That is the only thing I have found to keep the rodents at bay. Thank you for your continued great content!

Hey man, just wanted to say thank you. Tried a bunch of solutions and your fix finally got my engine lights to turn off. Thank you!!!

If your a DYI and own a Toyota or a Luxis this is a must view channel. A lot of what's covered in diagnosis and repair here also applies Honda's. Sure they have different engines and transmissions but the method of diagnosis is the same. Scotty Kilmer looks at all makes and models and says exactly who's making crappie cars and when they were made-and its dosen't include Toyota's and Honda's.

I live about 15 minutes North of you in "The Rust Belt". I have a 2002 Sequoia with the same problem! Rust jacking is a common problem with evry car here. Thank you for the great video, and for making my life easier. I had Auto Zone scan my codes and their equipment can't read ABS codes obviously. I snapped off a front speed sensor bolt two years ago while replacing ball joints so when the weather clears I know what to do! Thank you again!

I love Toyotas, and Your vids are Community College quality auto tech instruction my friend. Your skills and your passion for what you do is inspiring.. I have the mechanical aptitude to work on cars, but I don't really like to if i can afford to pay someone else. Because of inflation and the craziness going on I find myself in the position that I don't have any other choice but to repair my own vehicles. In addition I've been burned so many times by incompetence and negligence and there is only a couple of shops I even allow to work on my cars and they are buried in work for 30days +. Again, no choice but to fix my own cars because rental cars run $1400 per month now for tiny sub-sub-sub compact. You have helped me and elevated my skill levels my friend thank you for what you do !

Thanks so much. You have the best videos out there. I always check and see if you have a video on my highlander before I start. Keep up the good work

Thank you for the most informative video I could find on the subject. Well done and greatly appreciated. I also live in the rust belt of upstate NY and have been having issues with my 2007 Toyota Tundra for well over 6 months and still can't solve the problem. fist time around, the dash lights indicated a front wheel speed censor open circuit. I eliminated the cable and instead of spending the $200+ dollars on the OEM sensor, I installed one I found on Amazon for like 90 bucks. thru it in and it worked perfect.... for about 6 months. Then had the same dash lights come on indicating the same issue. I eliminated the cable harness as the problem so this time I forked out the cash and bought the correct sensor. When I went to change it, I broke the bolt off that secures it top the steering knuckle. So I drilled it and tried using an easy out to get it out, and that snapped off in the original bolt. So I ended up being able to drill and drill until I got a hole deep enough to work with. So my plan was to fill the hole with jb weld then redrill the jb welded hole, and try and tap it so that I could at lest get a couple threads of a bolt to hold this sensor in place. Well that didn't work so well I had some JB weld protruding on the outside and I had to sand it down to get the surface flat again. While I was sanding , I figured I might as well sand all the rust that was caked around there as well. So I was able to get the new OEM sensor installed and it's now being held in place by just a couple threads of a 1/4x20 bolt. I fired it up and the ABS light is on, and I drive it and as soon as I get up to about 15 or 20 miles an hour it throws my dash lights indicating the same original problem. Before, I never had the ABS light come on prior to all the other dash lights, it would come on the same time as all the others - always seems to be either when I drive like 100 yards or if I get up to a certain speed. So I still have the same issue with a $200+ new Wheel speed sensor installed. So I'm trying to figure out what the issue is now, are the tolerances so close the perhaps I sanded enough metal off to allow the speed sensor to sit too far into the hole and that is what's causeing this issue now? On the speed sensor itself - why is the mounting hole made of like a brass color metal? Does this metal have to have a good connection to the steering knuckle for grounding purposes or does that have nothing to do with it? the sensor is tight it's just not being held by much, does it need to be torqued to a certain ft/lbs? Just trying to see what I can do next , short of buying and replacing the steering knuckle so that I have a good mount for this sensor. Any ideas on what I could try? Thank you for the help, much appreciated

Outstandingly informative video. More helpful than even the ASE courses. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for this advice. I have a Tundra and an intermittent issue with the speed sensor. I'll try everything you suggested here.

If you live in the rust belt you may not be able to use the on car hub pullers to extract a bearing from a truck (Tacoma, 4Runner, tundra, etc..). They can get Extremely frozen in there…. Saw one that required a 40 ton press to get it out…. It deformed a 12 ton HF press trying to get it out. I told them to replace the whole knuckle because surely something is bent…

I like to put eyeballs on the sensor and reluctor wheel first, if possible. Visual inspection is always my first step. For electrical, my 2nd step is always to check every fuse. 😄

Wow very good job bro you are the best course 👍🏻

Fantastic! Thanks! 🎸🎶

More videos like this thanks

As always, excellent video. Video was very crisp and clear this time, more than usual. New cam? Are the o rings buna n or nitrile, etc? In a rusty situation I like to put a very small coat of lubricant on the o ring to prevent it from damage as it goes back in and to help it seal a little better. A very very light amount. Some o rings can’t handle lubrication and will break down prematurely. One suggestion if I may. If you could use something like a small but long screwdriver or the like to point to something, it would be helpful. Thanks for your videos and instruction. I hope to see your videos for a long time to come!

Hi Car Care Nut. My Lexus ISF has those lights come on the dashboard but I can not connect any diagnostics to the ECU. Checked all the fuses, got a new battery, checked all the relays, pulled the ABS module out to check the connectors, all good. Done the same to the ECU, all good. But still can’t connect to ECU. Had an auto electrician look at it and he said the ABS module is not getting signal/power. Do I replace the ABS module? Any advice would be very much appreciated. Love your channel and please don’t stop making them. You are doing a great service to us humans 🙏

Thank you

Yo, Nut. never even looked at a sensor- or knew how they worked, BUT I got a zero code when the wheel was turning. and a very slight pulsation on the Right side. First we are deep in the rust belt where mega tons of chemicals are spread even before snow comes down. It is eating my nice little 18yr old Camry up! I just had a note from my guy who says one sensor-$300. Also, other places in this auto use different types of plastic clips,, tubing brackets, elec. connectors, and they are going bad and falling apart, like everyone else. Watching more stuff. Thanks

Hi I first want to thank you for all your knowledge and videos! I spend most of my free time watching then. I have a question regarding an ABs code that pops up on my code reader. There is no abs light on dash. It is c1340. “Open circuit in center diff lock when engaged”. It’s a 2004 Lexus gx470. Center diff engages fine, no blinking lights. My concern is that the “VSC off” light does not illuminate when diff is locked. Where should I begin to test? Would it be the actuator or the abs module?

My son's 99 Seinna started making noise when applying the brakes. After a bit the noise stopped but the traction control light and absolutely light came on. After scanning no codes came up so I did a visual inspection and found the driver's side rear sensor was hanging by the wire. I placed the sensor back in its hole and secured with tape as I was at my son's house and he has very limited tools and supplies. The lights went out and he doesn't hear any noises when applying the brakes. I am waiting for him to bring the van to my house so I can get it up on jacks to get a better look at it and see what holds the sensor in place. Happy Motoring.

May God richly bless you!!!

If you need a wheel speed sensor is it worth it to spend the 3x on an OEM or is aftermarket OK in this scenario?

I have a 2016 Tundra 4x4 that the rear passenger wheel speed sensor is getting dirty inside the axle, I have removed it and cleaned it twice and it will go several hundred miles before acting up again. I just replaced it this time but judging by how dirty it was when I removed the old one I'm worried I may have a more serious issue internally. It was covered in black grease/oil that smelled burnt. What are your thoughts on this?

So I've got an 04 gx470 we purchased for our family SUV. We got scammed with an odometer roll back when we got the car. It has 272k miles on it. We don't know when the major service was done so we did the timing belt water pump after we got the car and replaced the rotors and pads. About 2 weeks ago it started to make a screech noise after a cold start. I was able to see the noise was coming from the accumulator. I had the accumulator replaced none of the parts shops in my area had them in stock and I ended up getting a rebuilt from Amazon. The car no longer had the screech on cold starts but, 2 days ago as I was driving and about 1 mile after a cold start after sitting over night the ABS brake and two VSC lights came on followed by a buzzer. After about 1-3 minutes the lights went off and the buzzer stopped. When the lights came on I was not on the brakes I was just driving. I tapped the brakes and they felt normal. I'm at a loss about what it could be. Could the rebuilt accumulator be bad? I used my obd reader and there were no codes when I checked. Then it happened again today. Similar situation I started the car in the morning and within 4 miles it happened again. I came to a stop and held the brakes and it felt like it had normal pressure. After 2-3 min everything went back to normal. It has only happened within 10-15 min of a cold start. I can hear the accumulator on normal start ups and it sounds normal no screeching. I'm stumped I don't want to just randomly throw parts at it. Could it be the abs unit itself? Or the new accumulator is faulty? I've got my scanner hooked up to the car so if it happens again I can pull codes while the lights are on. I've let the car idle for 30+ min with random brake taps and can't get it to happen. It seems like it's only after sitting over night and in the first 10 or so min of driving.
