Hope, maine
So I found the cause of my P0710 a bad connection at the connector now I need help finding a replacement connector with terminals or pigtail. I think I found one but its $70 so does anyone know of a good place to get one or have one out of a parts rig they would cut out for me?

Clean the connector and look carefully to see if there are numbers on it. Usually there are.

Looks like you just need pigtails unless there is some hidden damage to the connector itself?
 
where was this sensor? im having the same issue

I belive the plastic part of the connector is fine but I have not been able to locate the wire ends by them selves

That's why I asked if there a number embossed on the connector, it might lead us to the pigtails.

Add 90980 to front of number on electrical connectors to get Toyota Part #

Then we might be able to the find repair pigtails (if available) associated with it.

Thanks for the info!!
 
Oh the things you find!! Cleaned truck, probably hit the wire and it threw the code this AM when driving. Ordered new sensor for $55 but when I got under the truck I see that the PO had it messed with. The harness was not correct, they made something work and it is junk. If anyone has the part number that would be great! I am going to check around. Will LUK whats up!
 
SOLVED and works perfectly!

Solution:
1. I found I had these in my Jeep kit: (Amazon product ASIN B01A6LTK44). I used the male-end two-pin connector and it fit perfectly.
2. I used this liquid tape (4 Oz. Liquid Tape - Electrical - https://www.harborfreight.com/4-fl-oz-liquid-electrical-tape-36821.html?_br_psugg_q=liquid+tape) from harbor freight before I slid them together to add some extra waterproofing.
3. After it was together I added more liquid tape to seal it up good. It'll come off easy if I ever have to switch out the sensor.
4. On the wire end, I crimped each wire to the male end and used shrink tubing to seal that junction. Then I wrapped that with electrical tape and then liquid taped it to make sure it will last another 25 years! :)

Here are some pics ... and yes I am sure there are other ways to do it. I have other ideas now but this definitely worked!
