    Where is the abs fuse located?
    I had a small accident that bent my steering knuckle, since then I haven’t been able to get my stability control light off. The abs light came on after I replaced the part and got a alignment. I replaced the sensor and the harness and still the light hasn’t gone away. I have unplugged the battery and tried to reset it too. Toyota dealer was the one that did the alignment and they couldn’t get the lights off. They recommended replacing the sensor. I did that. Now what? I figured I should check the fuse then go from there. Please help! Stability control has helped me retain traction in certain wet conditions. 2017 sr5.

    Thanks!

    Fuse looks intact.. now what? I don’t know what to do from here. I have changed the harness and the sensor already.

    Yes until you read the ABS/traction control codes you aren't doing anything but wasting time. If the dealer pulled the codes and told you to replace a certain sensor though I would find the next plug in that circuit upstream from the sensor and do a continuity test with an ohm meter to see if you have a pinched wire. But short of that. Yup read codes.

    I’m not sure if the dealer pulled the codes. They said something about yaw?
    Can I buy a code tester that would tell me?

    When I pinched an abs wire, just replaced it and everything was fine. Skipped a couple teeth on the steering rack another couple days later, and had to have the yaw sensor recalibrated/that code cleared.

    yeah I don’t know why they didn’t do it when the truck was in. It was the end of the day I guess.

    I use techstream v16 on an old laptop to pull codes and you can do a zero point calibration as well. W the codes it will tell you which side and front or rear that abs is not connecting right to narrow it down.

    If your truck is 19ish or newer then the paperclip method for zero point doesnt always work.

    My truck is 2017, would the paper clip method work?
