Toyota ABS activation P0500 (Diag & Repair) (SI Ep 11.2)

Toyota ABS activation P0500 (Diag & Repair) (SI Ep 11.2)

Another interesting case study from Staten Island!

This Toyota Camry is suffering from ABS activation at low speeds, but why is the Check Engine light on?

Let’s see if we can 100% accurately pinpoint the issue and maybe even fix the vehicle before handing it over to the customer.

Enjoy!

Hi there,
I have a 99 ES300, got a P0500 code.
Check engine light on as well as traction control light on.
Odometer goes blank.
But other than that, car runs fine, speedometer works, idles fine.

Would the procedure done in this video be the fix?

Hello
I have seen this awesome videos, and I will really appreciate any directions given for my issue. Have shown to multiple mechanic shops, but not results
Car: Toyota Solara 2004
Check Engine Light ON: PO500 (Changed),
Cluster: Replaced(USED) and as problem didn't go away, put the original back.
Issue: While driving, TPMS light, Brake Light, ABS light comes on for a second, Speedometer drops to zero. Shift with a jerk. And then everything gets back to normal. Initially it used to happen every 30-45 mins, now it happens every 1-5 mins. It's using more gas than before.

Any advice, I will really appreciate.

Hey love your videos! I have a 2002 sienna with abs light on 2 codes for front and read wheel speed sensors but the sensors look great on all 4 graph

ey , thanks very much for this video , i have a similar problem with a Toyota Solara and I was able to identify the problem , customer brought the car to her favorite mechanic ( S ,,,, Back yard mechanic ) and he disconnect both ABS sensors and charge her tons of money for speed sensor that she don't need and still no able to fix her problem and try to tell her she need a new transmission , well i was able to find what they did and fix it and charge for diagnostic , thanks for such great info you always share

Awesome job! I just went to the Toyota dealership, they wanted $3000 for a new ABS actuator. After seeing this I have clean the rust around the sensors and the problem is gone! Thank You!

I have this same code on my 2010 Toyota Corolla. I believe this is my exact problem with my car. Can you tell me what would usually be the cost for this kind of repair? I’m getting it check tomorrow to confirm, but just trying to see what I may be looking at for repair cost?

I used your exact technique on a 2002 Sequoia. The front sensors had the same "bent" problem and it was causing hesitation during acceleration and ABS activation at low speeds. It even caused ABS to activate when decelerating slowly. The skid light was coming on and was a hazard when trying to pull out into traffic or going up a steep on ramp. Thank you thank you! I cut a washer in half and put it under one side of the sensor under the hold down bolt on the side opposite to the sensor and that helped to tip the sensor further down in the hole. At first my symptoms sounded like a recall Toyota had on the 2003 model (NHTSA 10V176000) where it would activate at 9 mph. Coincidentally, this is exactly what my Sequoia was doing but mine was caused by the bent plastic. All fixed!

I found the problem by using an oscilloscope (Analog Discovery, Digilent) and measuring the AC voltage like you did. It was around 50 mV peak-to-peak on both front sensors. After adjusting, it it was > 100 mV on one sensor and > 250 mV on the other when spinning the wheels by hand (quickly). That seemed to be enough for the computer to detect the wheel speed.

Hi Ivan,
This video pointed us in the right direction.
I have a 2011 Toyota Avalon and was getting an ABS & Trac Control light. No other lights. No issue with rpm, or brake system. Pulled the sensors and one had crud on the magnetic pick-up. Cleaned it up and around the mounts. Lights gone. Replaced the pads & turned the rotors while we were at it. Just wanted to say thanks. This is a very informative video. Cheers

The connector harness and the abs sensor ripped out when my tire blew and now my speedometer isnt working my ebrake light is on and the abs light is on could it be a short in the system? If so how can i fix it thank you in advance

Rayon Williams sports tv says:

2007 Toyota Corolla s have the same code P0500. Vehicle speed transmission sensor.. I replaced it . The output one and it's still doing the same thing. Rev high like it's going in neutral when driving . What can I do ? If anyone know please let me know.. does it have abs ? Could it be the wheel sensor and the code say vehicle transmission speed sensor?

Carlos Linarez says:

You are just a awesome thanks for teaching us personally I appreciate it

I'm getting code: 0073 on my 07 camry.  Replaced abs module with another used module but still not work…dash is acting crazy.  Any ideas.  Thanks.

Brilliant diagnostic and straight trough repair! Ivan! As field tech – You need wire bruh and grinding wheels in Your tool box for fighting Rust Belt "REAL RUST" more efficiently. Magnalube MIL 900 marine grade grease, it works much better than fluid film. Magnalube is not washable and designed to withstand salt water penetration – can bring permanent rust protection and lifetime problem solving.

Thanks for info.
