hey guys im a newbie on this forum.
i was just wondering how do i know the difference between a abs wheel bearing and a non abs wheel bearing on the front. other wise has anyone else had any problems with the front abs.
this is some of the mods done to give any help
6inch custome lift kit
33's
4.88 ratio
speedo recalibrated
i have also checked all the resistances for both sensors and ar within 10ohms of each other. i have checked resistance of the harness and also within 10ohms of each other
cheers in advance russell

have you replaced the bearings ?

There is an inside and an outside on some Toyota bearings with ABS they identify it easily with a grey seal one side and a black seal the other on the new bearings and if put in the wrong way the ABS wont work as the ABS signal is under the dust seal on one side only.

im guessing your abs light has come on the dash?

ok guys done some checking the wheel bearing does have a black inner seal and the wheel bearing can only go one way as it is apart of the hub and toyota want 350 for it. so if the abs pulse ring or pickup point for the sensor inside the wheel bearing is stuffed i would like to know a way of testing it. also it has a six inch lift and i have one very custom drop diff setup and suspension it had caused much greive geting all the camber and steering setup right. but in saying that it looks really tuff and still drives great.

i took my down to the local mech and he plugged his scantool and and took it for a run, it put the fault to the front right wheel, it wasnt getting a signal, so i put a new wheel sensor in and it wasnt that, then i had a think about when i had the suspension done i remember seeing a wire pulled way to tight (bloody apprentice) anyway i replaced the plug and wire up into the engine bay, ie goes from back of abs sensor up the contol arm up in the engine bay, was about 60 bucks from memory, this fixed the problem. cheers samo

i have replaced all that wiring and checked continuity (resistance) through that harness and all ok. i did use all second hand stuff from the wreckers, but it all checked out all ok, also i forgot to mention i brought the car with this light on. so who knows what the guy before me did. otherwise i think it might be time to go to toyota to have them repair it.

The best way to test this is to get live data while driving with a scan tool, most modern scan tools will give individual wheel speed if you have one reading out of whack compared to the rest thats where you head
