ABS & ((!)) Light on dash

[new2prados Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close new2prados]

Hi all, after getting the radiator flushed & filled today I got half way home & these 2 lights started showing up on the dash. They weren`t on when I left the radiator mob & didnt drive in any water/puddles on the way. Anyone have any suggestions as to what it could be??

Thanks

Re: ABS & ((!)) Light on dash

I would suggest they have disturbed the cabling or connectors going to the ABS sensors in the front wheels. Maybe disconnected something to remove the radiator hoeses and not put it back properly.
Have a look around the front/radiator area and check connectors, possibly spray with WD40. If that don't work, take it to Toyota to get checked out.

Re: ABS & ((!)) Light on dash

I had a similar issue where both the ABS light and hand break lights would show on the vehicle. This is an indication that the ABS system has faulted for some reason which could be a bad connection as per what Ozwapet2 has suggested.

Here is a link to the same issue once before:

Check connections and wheel sensors.

Mine was still under Warranty when this happened and the fault finding traced it back to the acutator block needing replacement. This is the nice shiniy looking aluminium block near the firewall on the drivers side and has a warranty value of just over $2000. Toyota replaced this twice on mine and ended up getting a mobile auto elec in who suggested that the power into the block needed to be rewired but miraculously it has been good for the last 6 months.
