This one really needs to be spotted:

@FrogTaco this is a good place to solicit eyes.

 

Got notice last night that Cotati will not get power back until Thursday. Ugh! To make it double sucky, I'm on a well so I lose water also. Have family and friends relatively close by so we are able to shower and such but it's just not the same. Kids school is closed for the week and wife's work is until Wednesday, so they are about to lose their shit. Keep telling them things could be much worse and am super grateful for all the first responders up there battling this shit show.

 

Well power was turned back on yesterday evening around 6pm after being off since Saturday afternoon.I was partying with all the lights on. Wake up this morning and I'm back in the dark. Damn pg&e and your fancy electricity.

 

How did you get notice? I’m wondering myself when our power is going to be back on. According to the pg&e address lookup, we weren’t impacted, but on the Soco map, my place is in the outage zone and has been since Saturday night. No power since Saturday night as well.

 

I got a NIXLE to come through. My data service is super spotted but get flooded with alerts every once in a while.

 

Ours came back on last night, and was still on half an hour ago when I left for work. I expect it'll go back out in the next couple hours though.

 

Horrible/dark pictures, but I spotted this gem last night in the Loomis/Rocklin area:

 

Ours came back yesterday around 3 and no notifications of potential outage again. Have a generator now (not the one I want but will work) so at least we can keep the fridges cold and charge stuff. I really didn’t mind the darkness and quiet just hate having an electric stove and worrying about all our food going bad.

 

Spotted a white 3rd Gen Pro in sac this morning on west bound 47th getting onto northbound 99.
Had a MESO third brake light and tail light conversion. I too am a connoisseur.

 

I may need one also. I have same problem. Just been too lazy to pull the wire and test it.

Power came back on yesterday afternoon. But word is, it's going back out later this afternoon, or tomorrow.

 

Yeah, this was the case for my situation. The ring around the axle was not being picked up by the sensor and caused a check engine light not allowing to pass smog. Replaced the axle and now no issues. Also read somewhere to check resistance on the sensor and spin the axle/hub and confirm the resistance changes

 

I was doing some research online and seems like regular OBD's don't read these codes. You need Toyota's techsteam or other high end readers

 

This one isn’t too expensive. There’s a lot of readers that run ABS/SRS.

Let me know when you want to test/replace them. They are easy to replace as long as they aren't stuck, then it is a different story.

 

I replaced broken axel. So, axel is in great shape. I checked for resistance. I am getting same resistance on all 4 sensors. Usually, if sensor is bad, you won't get stable resistance.
When you spin the wheel, sensor should have some AV voltage on it. I was unable to find any voltage on any of 4 sensors. May be I should try doing that on one of my other Toyota and see if that gets any voltage.

 

Thanks!

 

I've replaced one before. But that one had a severed wire. This one does not, and needs testing with a mulit-meter. Then, if it's not a faulty wire, may have to buy the set, which is expensive if purchased at the dealer. How's Thursday look to you?

 

According to Autonation of Hayward stealership, each sensor is about $293+ Tax and wire is about $92+Tax.
You can get one from carparts.com for $130 a pop.
Let me buy that OBD reader that @T4RFTMFW mentioned. Once it arrives, I will let you know and we can test it. Since, these are "electronic" parts, there is no returning them. So, I want to make sure we order the right parts before we get stuck with expensive spare parts.

 

The Stealership checked mine during routine maintenance. For a Hundred bucks. Definitely the sensor.
