    That's easy.
    You will need a abs sensor wiring pigtail kit from your local Toyota dealership.

    So Toyota wants $110 for the wiring deal which was more than I wanted to pay. So here is what I'd did
    First I unplugged it then took the sensor apart
    Second stripped the wires then went and bought some butt connectors and heat shrink
    Then I cut the factory wiring back to leave room so I could insulate the butt connectors after crimping them
    Then I crimped it all together and heat shrunk everything. And some of it was still exposed so I put some liquid electrical tape
    *** I accidentally crimped one on without the heat shrink but that was okay because all you really need is one, then I put heat shrink over the whole thing. Because the wire ripped out where it makes a 90 degree bend I wasn't able to put the sensor housing back on but that's ok because it still clipped on
    I had to upload this with my phone so sorry I could upload a picture as the steps go. The light didn't go away immediately, after driving a couple miles it went off

    That would require tools and practice. So, not so much.

    I didn't really like the idea of soldering it since it was extremely close to the sensor, and the wires were also really small. The mechanic at my work first suggested soldering it but we couldn't twist the wires together to get a mechanical connection so he just said to butt connect it or buy the new part
    All of this was being done while underneath my truck
