The Deceleration sensor works with the ABS and Traction Control. The code usually means either the Senor has failed or the wiring from the sensor to the ABS module has a short. Either way it will have failed to register a decel 16 times before it sets that code.

When this sensor stops working it shuts down the ABS and Traction Control too. I suggest getting it taken care of ASAP.

This is what I found listed for that part. I would call Lexus though, this may not be accurate.

Deceleration Sensor 8944130050 $657.19

Default sensor

Anyone have a picture of this??? My lights are on as well, but I was told that my right front speed sensor is going bad. I have removed the center colsole on occasion to clean or to remove my stereo... Could I have damaged this also at some point??.
