97 Avalon ABS code 43

[Joe W]

After replacing all struts on my 97 Avalon the ABS light is on steady and Trac off light blinks. Running the codes shows a code 43 but I can't find info for a specific cause or wheel....? Any help is much appreciated

Check all the ABS connections at the wheels for loose or damaged connector on the ABS sensor.

Thanks Brian. This was the very first thing I tried and all connections are secure... I was also very careful to place the wiring out of harms way during installation.

PS This may be an issue of my doing, but how to track the issue

[Brian R.]

You can try testing the ABS sensor wiring for continuity. If the connections are good, it is likely a damaged sensor or bad wiring. Other than testing the connections and continuity, I don't know of a good way to troubleshoot this. The only suggestion I can make is let Toyota put their ABS machine on it and let it diagnose the problem.

Hmmm, Thanks Brian, sometimes one misses the obvious. I will check for continuity! If that checks out I am afraid it is a trip to the dealer. Either way I will let yinz know the outcome

Thanks Brian, I did check the wires for continuity and found the R/R infinate. I replaced this but still pull a code 43 and cannot reset the lights... grrrr

*infinite*

You probably checked the wiring through the sensor or the ECU. Make sure that you are testing a single length of wire without any sensor or ECU in the circuit. The sensors may normally have an infinite resistance.

Thanks Brian, this turned-out to be the L/R wheel sensor from the ABS code 43 THANKS!
