Repair Instructions

Replace Faulty Wheel Speed Sensors
- If any wheel speed sensor is found faulty, replace it by:
  - Disconnecting the electrical connector.
  - Removing the retaining bolt(s) and pulling the sensor out of the hub.
  - Installing the new sensor, securing it with bolts, and reconnecting the electrical connector.
Repair or Replace Wiring
- If any damaged wiring is found, repair the wiring using solder and heat shrink tubing, or replace the entire harness if necessary.
Reset DTCs
- After repairs, clear the DTCs using the OBD-II scanner.
- Perform a test drive to ensure the traction control light remains off.
Check System Functionality
- During the test drive, test the traction control system by accelerating and making turns on slippery surfaces (if safe). The system should engage and disengage as expected without the warning light reappearing.
Final Inspection
- After confirming that the traction control light is off and the system is functioning properly, perform a final inspection to ensure all tools are removed and everything is secured.

Conclusion

If the traction control light remains on after completing these steps, or if you encounter complex electrical issues, it is advisable to take the vehicle to a certified Toyota technician for further diagnosis and repair.
