2001 Toyota Highlander - ABS Problem No Codes
Posted: Tue Jul 26, 2011 4:14 am
I have a 2001 Highlander in my shop with AWD, VSC, Skid Control.
There is no codes present but the ABS activates at random speeds on dry surface and when it does it actually inhibits your ability to steer. I ran a diagnostic test on the DLC3 and found 10.8v across TS and CG (ok) so next I checked the ABS MIL by basically jumping it. This should make the ABS light blink but it did not. As far as I can tell this means the ECU Module may be no good but I am concerned that it could be a tone ring or bad sensor. With the price ($1400) of a new ECU I just want to see if anyone has any ideas before I spend this customers money and then it is something else.
Any input would be great!
