BTW if u do replace it i wouldnt mind buying the old one for a spare or we
I can get mechanic to solder it but it was indeed attached just like the right hand side, where else to look?

what do they run? I'll surely give it to you for cheap if I can figure out how to get a new one replaced if needed

i dont mean this in a bad way but are you mechanically inclined at all? some people are not so im trying to grasp if you even capable of doing the repair.

yes it PHYSICALLY is attached but inside the wiring its ripped someplace. the rubber coating has to be opened, if you OHM it out you will find there is indeed a break in the wire and then you would just need to trace it back to find out where it ripped and then solder/reattach it.

jefftsai used to have a DIY with pics but all the pics are gone and he hasnt ever updated the pics...
i know for awhile he was fixing them for people but i dunno if he does anymore or not.

new i think they $160-200

if not broken and can do a trace, solder is not a problem - now to tell if it is actually broken is another story

Hey - does that mean the actual VSC and ABS is disabled even though it may just be the sensor?

So disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes did not work.

Jumping E1 to Tc also did not work, unless i didn't do it correctly. The red BRAKE warning light started blinking with a constant beep - I then jumped out the car, removed the jumper, shot the ignition, replaced the short pin, and started the car. All the amber lights are still on VSC and ABS

c1223 is general ABS control malfunctiion code.
c1233 is yaw rate sensor.
c0205 is for the left front speed sensor.

Id start with the speed sensor.

Measure resistance between each of terminals 1 and 2 of speed sensor connector.

Resistance: 1.4 − 1.8 kΩ

Next measure resistance between terminal 1 or 2 of speed sensor connector and body ground.

Resistance: 1 MΩ or higher

If those are ok then it's probably in the wiring.

have pulled it apart, no resistance is showing between the 2 terminals at all, stays at 0

Checked right side, saw the resistance.
Bought new one, checked resistance, about to install.

Lexus doesn't sell just the sensor, had to buy with the wiring

fingers crossed

You need to check your speed sensor. That was my problem. Fixed now.

You won't have serious damage, but it is dangerous to not have abs or Vsc.
