I'm in the process of fixing up a 1998 Lexus ES300 and have some lights on my dashboard ABS/Traction off. The check engine light has been fixed but the ABS and Traction off remain. Can anyone help me identify what may be the cause of all these codes or any similar experiences? Also the alternator pigtail yellow wire is currently cut I'm not sure if this may have any effect on the lights/codes but I am looking to replace it this weekend. I placed a paperclip in the Diagnostic connector with one end on Tc and the other on E1. I got the codes:

• 21
  
• 22
  
• 23
  
• 24
  
• 25
  
• 26
  
• 31
  
• 32
  
• 33
  
• 34
  
• 41
  
  

 

Fix the alternator wiring, check the battery with a load tester and check the alternator for charging. Then erase all ABS codes and retest.

Right now it’s looking like a voltage spike. Code 41 is abnormal battery voltage which is either below 9.5 or higher than 17.

 

I fixed the alternator wiring and now I only have code 32 any suggestions on what it could be?

 

Hello,

Code 32 means there is a malfunction in a Front Left speed sensor. Try disconnecting it and measuring its resistance, which should be about 1 - 2 kOhms, if not, replace the sensor.

Hope this helps and beat of luck!

 

+1 peel back the wheel liner and test the resistance of the sensor. I had to replace mine. If yours fails the resistance test I recommend WVE from RockAuto it looked just like OEM and was made in Japan.




Identical to the original sensor

Connector location behind the wheel liner

 

Awesome thank you for the advice!
