Yeah, I got that.

Most all of the speed sensors I've looked at only refer to front or rear location and NOT AWD/FWD.

Does anyone know of a good place to purchase one of these other than dealer.

I need right rear wheel speed sensor for 2001 Lexus RX300 - FWD.

Thanks

In replacing my RR wheel bearing, I pulled the speed sensor. The shaft snapped off in the process. Ordered a new one (just under $200). Now I have 5 related lights lit up on the cluster. I pulled it out and checked it for resistance. It's good. The dealer tells me I need a reset. Of course they also tell me I need a navigation system update but I'm pretty sure they think I'm an average Lexus owner who tends to agree to anything the dealer recommends. Not sure what to do but since the State Inspection is due this month, I may just have to roll and say "OK" to the recalibration. Damn!
