ABS lights on, ABS speed sensor problem Options

[Richie]

Hi All,

I'm new to 6GC and new to Celica ownership.

Just bought one... clutch went... clutch replace by garage... but then ABS light comes on.
I guess it’s just a wheel speed sensor that they've disconected and not reconnected properly.

Here’s a list of things which I’ve tried so far:

• Extract error code from computer. Result, 32, which according to my manual is “Left front wheels sensor”.
• I slackened off the left side wheel arch protector, just enough to see the connecting plug at the top of the wheel arch. Visually, it appeared to be making a good connection.
• I traced the cable down to the speed sensor, checked it was correctly inserted and the 10mm bolt was done up, which it was. The splines on the rotating hub, which generate the speed sensor signal appear intact.
• Cleared the codes and turned ignition on. But the ABS light remained on.

Can anyone think of a weak point that might have been damaged during the clutch replacement.
Cheers for any helpful hints

I had the same problem twice. First it was the drivers side. Then the passanger side. I do know that the sensor is a halleffect sensor that reads a magnet as it goes by. When the magnet goes by the sensor sends a ground pulse. There sound be three wires to it. One is positive, one is negative and the other is only negative when the magnite is present.
