Default brake pad sensor cable broken

I was replacing the rear pads in my 94 ls400. On one wheel the cable for what I assume is the ABS speed sensor apparantly was deteriorated and broke in my hand. It looks like it is a short distance to a connection near the wheel.
I soldered the cable back together and the ABS light is not on but dont know how long the repair will work.
Anyone know the part number or have suggestions?
thanks

if the cable itself broke just gobuy another one from your local lexus or toyota dealer, should go for between $50-80.

now, if the sensor was tripped then we could tell u how u could reuse it but that wont work since the whole cable is broken. ( i think)

I believe what was broken was the brake pad WEAR sensor, not the ABS sensor. A new sensor is usually above $50 (from the dealer) and includes the wear sensor (attaches to one brake pad), wiring and connector.
