Final update: I installed the new oem part, cleared codes and the problem is now solved. Pic included shows all wheels registering speed (just driving up and down the driveway) where the previous part showed 0 mph all the time. For anyone who sees this in the future: I ordered a Wells brand...

Update: The sensor does seem to just be dead based on my testing. I don't remember crushing or damaging it in any way, but I suppose that could have happened. Cleaning and vacuuming (not sure the vacuum did much) out the ABS ring as best I could made no change. I ordered an OEM sensor from...

I appreciate your help, today is the last sunny day before snow is supposed to fall so I'll be taking this on. I asked in my last post a couple minutesago but I'll ask you too: When I clean out the sensor ring will any junk I scrub off fall out of there?

Thanks! I went out last night and tested the plug. I set my multimeter to ohms, which made it read o/l, then when I touched the pins and it continued showing o/l. That, plus the fact that techstream showed that the new part didn't register any speed is leading me to believe the sensor is bad...

It looked a bit crusty in there. The confusing thing is that it was an intermittent problem before I replaced the sensor and after replacing the sensor it doesn’t read at all, which is what led me to think it was electrical. I’ll definitely remove the sensor again and look closer as there is a...

I'll definitely check that. Just read up on the method for doing that. Good point. The harness looked good from the engine bay though I suppose it could have an issue anywhere from the engine bay to the ECU. Any idea which ECU the wheel speed sensor go to?

Hey all, my 2006 LX470 has had an intermittent issue with the wheel speed sensor throwing codes. I narrowed it down to only happening when it rained/was damp out. During winter this meant it would happen often, and during summer it happened very rarely. I left it most of the year assuming it...

I was speaking to Brandon from Lightwerkz, where I picked up some retrofit supplies, and he mentioned that a fix could have been to make a harness to power both lights off of one headlight plug. My weird issue was that when I parked and had the e brake on they, both lights worked correctly...

Just a follow up to my earlier post. This thread was huge in getting me off my ass to actually finish the retrofit. Got it installed and working last year and they’ve been perfect since. (Had to disable drl in tech stream but that might be a Canadian only problem?)

Bringing this thread WAYYY back from the dead. I have the same box and was curious if you ever did anything with it? Am I right in assuming I could basically just cut the wire without any issues? I mean, the vehicle is from '06 and I have a GROM Vline.

UPDATE: I went back to the shop as the owner insisted he should check that the 2 plugs for the door harness were clipped in correctly. As he was yanking the wires out in front of me I knew there HAD to be a broken wire. In my opinion no wires should be pulled as hard as he did - but that's...

Confusing update: - I removed the DS rear door and checked for for broken wires. Didn't see anything broken on the both sides of the 2 plugs. - I swapped the rear window switches and there was no change. I think that proves that the switch itself isn't the problem. - Finally I DID notice a...

Thanks a ton! Just to clarify, pull the power window switch panel in the back door and unplug the plug. Then run a wire from the battery positive to the power wire in the plug itself? Then run another wire from the negative on the plug to clean metal for ground. Should the truck be on acc or...

Hey, I recently had some bodywork done on my LX to clean and repaint under the plastic door sill trim. The shop had both back doors off to do the work. When I got the truck back I tested all the windows. Everything worked on the first drive. I had the windows all down fully. I parked the truck...

Amazing update! Nothing better than throwing a bunch of new fresh parts in where needed!
