Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

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.

 

Where are you located? PM is fine. Oh. I have one.

 

This guy should never have to buy his own beer again..

 

So......

I have an abundance of stuff to sell, and everyone seems to suggest Facebook.

I deactivated/deleted my account close to a decade ago (best decision ever - highly recommended), but attempted to create a new account tonight. Instead of a new account, it apparently reactivated an old account. I spent some time updating info and privacy settings, when all of a sudden it demands I enter a phone number so it can confirm my identity. Never entered one before, so I'm not sure what they're going to confirm... I comply, enter the code, and then it demanded I upload a photo of my face. Now I'm waiting for them to (manually I assume) verify my photo before unlocking my account...
WTF?




I'm just trying to post in the market place!

 

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.

 

You’ve gone too far... now they’ve got you.

 

You could try OfferUp while you're waiting for the NSA to get back to you.

 

Yup... taking your picture for their facial recognition software. They've got you now.

 

TBH, the email is a throw-away gmail, the phone number is an unused gVoice number, and the photos arent actually real. NSA can suck it.

 

What the shit is this?



...I'm just destined to throw all of this stuff in a dumpster.

 

10 minutes ago PGE left a recorded message. "Power is now turned off, or will soon be turned off, in your area".

Well, at least we had power for 24 hours. And as a reminder, I live in Oakland. And my hood has underground power lines.

 

Damn. We have yet too lose power. Guess one benefit of living next to a refinery. But i have my generators ready to go, just in case.
