Did you ever get this fixed? I snapped my front right wire on accident as well.

This happened on my IS-F as well on install of coilovers. The wire is very sensitive, mine was not even broken just stretched minorly and set off the abs and traction, and check engine lights.

Just buy a new one.

i bought the wire from the dealer and they wanted 200 to do it. so i told them to leave it on my seat, got home and did it myself in about 45 mins. lifted car on one side. took wheel off, then pulled the fender liner back. 3- 10mm bults have to be taken out. then unplug it. then go in reverse and your done.

check vcs and trac control lights turn off in 10-15 miles by them selves.

So this broken wire and my heavy foot got me into some trouble today. Since the traction control is automatically disabled with this wire being unhooked I decided to get on the gas making a u-turn after the gym, ended up whipping the car real hard with a bunch of tire spin and smoke. Than I noticed the fuzz behind me, lucky she gave me a warning

How much is the wire?

For future reference this wire/plug is removable. I unclipped it from the sensor while doing my coilover install. All you need to do is look at the back of the plug there is a small tab in it, stick a small screwdriver under it and put a small amount of pressure up and you can slide the plug off the sensor letting you move the wire with plug out of the way away from being pulled or snapped. Once you reinstall everything just slide it back on the sensor and you will here the plug click locking it back into place.
