For those who say it's not working - are you working on a Toyota and do you really have 4 & 13 jumpered. I would bet that Toyota owners who don't get satisfaction from this have the wrong pins jumpered. As he said in the video - after you jumper pins - turn on ignition to 1st position - do not start car - several dash lights will blink. The blinking dash lights indicate that 4 & 13 are jumpered . Also - correct number of pumps in x number of secs is important - AND - after you do the pump - REMOVE the jumper wire BEFORE starting the car. Jumpering 4 & 13 is used for many functions on late model Toyota's to include putting transmission into temp. check mode in order to set transmission fluid level on Toyota's that have no dip stick.
I just recently changed my front brake pads and rear shoe brakes on my 08 Prius and this problem came up. The dealership quoted me 200 dollars to run a diagnostic on my car... That was way more than how much I spent on my brake pads and brake shoes! Came upon this video and decided to try it out. It worked like a charm! Thanks for sharing this video!
This totally does work. I have a code reader that does the ABS system , I read the system with my code reader had two abs codes for wheel speed sensor faults, I used the jumper wire as shown in video. Then scanned the car again with the code reader and zero codes found. I would say if you do this on your Toyota and the light comes back you have a fault in the abs system that needs fixing, its not just a false code thrown.
Changed wheel speed sensor and had to reset the abs light. Tried this method and worked. Toyota camry 1998 sedan v6 3.0L. Cleared the light first try. Thanks mate.
awesome. thank you. for those who have issues. use a wire or paper clip and insert into the obd. top row- 4th from the left. bottom row- 5th from the left. turn key to on , but not start. pump the brake fast 8 times, remove wire and start the car.
Wow! So glad this is here after 10 years. I had the same issue yesterday after replacing the axles and front brakes on my "10 Corolla. Really good video. Clear, concise and no eastern European accent to decifer. Really appreciate it!
THANX A LOT! prius III bugged after brake job, Toyota retailer wanted to charge me 4000€ to replace the whole abs system after a few internet research, i did the reset myself and it costed me 0€ THANK YOU !
I own a 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited, replaced the front left CV axle, wheel bearing, caliper and pads on all wheels. When the repairs were completed the VSC, ABS, and Parking brake lights were lit up. The ABS was not working; I tried to bleed the brakes thinking this was the problem, but to no success. Last resort I tried the above and it worked. Thanks, all codes cleared and the vehicle runs and drives great.
You sir are God sent. Thank you so much for sharing this. It solved my 06 lexus gs450h abs error. I've replaced the front pads and rotors and when I started the car it triggered a code. Tried all the methods presented online, but this worked prefect the first time I've tried. Again thank you. God bless!
Damaged an ABS sensor changing rear wheel bearings on a 2007 Rav4. 4wheel, ABS, Brake, traction lights all on after R&R. This worked perfectly resetting all systems and saving a minimum 100 bucks for a dealership visit. Thank you
This is a great trick to remember! I recently replaced some sections of brake line on a 2006 Highlander Hybrid, not realizing that the hybrid brake system was so different. After bleeding the system the traditional way, the ABS / Brake / 'Check VSC' / Traction Control lights were all on and wouldn't reset with a simple battery disconnect. This reset the entire VSC system. All the warning lights went out and everything is working perfectly now. Thank you! :-)
Thanks I have a 2004 Toyota Sienna and tried this method and it cleared the ABS light. First I tried removing the battery terminals and left it out for almost an hour and when I came back from lunch I put those terminals back on the ABS does not turn off like you have mentioned. Luckily I found this great video and using your method it works thanks so much!!
god bless you. I just replaced a brake line and hose and bled it only to find out that the braking system was locking out that brake. Since ive had this happen before when i replaced my rear brake wheel cylinders i was expecting this and thought i might have to take it to a shop. good thing you made this video and probably saved whatever ridiculous price they would want for this 2 minute procedure. (this was on a 2007 prius if anyone wondering)
@@surfside75 I'd you're certain youre experiencing the same issue where the electronics are locking out a specific brake I would try looking around the Internet some more for a similar procedure. If that doesn't work a mechanic should be able to do it, hopefully they'll show you how to fix it if you ask, if it doesn't require some fancy scanner.
had the same error on a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid after changing the brake pads. I followed your video which clear the codes and reactivated the traction control & abs. Thank you.
Jope N1A the abs light will reset on its own after driving the vehicle if the problem.has been fixed .... no need for any of this ... the vsc and check engine will remain on if there is a fault code
Wanted to ask you a question , related to coolramone statement it does look like a paper clip , You state a jumper wire could please tell where and what excatly i need and how to get this ? please autozone was no help =(
it work to reset the traction control light, i replace the rack and pinion, your instructions and a paper clip same $200.00 for dealer service fee THANK YOU !!!!!!!
Yeahhh!! Clip in the Pin 4 and pin 13. Turn on ignition, press brake pedal 8 times in a 5 seconds, lights go to blink, wait 30 seconds, turn off the car, pull off the clip, turn on the car and the lights are off. Toyota prius 2010. Thank you!!!
Thank You, Thank you, Thank you!. I replaced the rear brake pads and the ABS/VCS warnings came on. I spent more time trying to get rid of the false warnings than I spent replacing the pads. I'm so glad I found your video. Worked like a charm. Cheers.
Lexus is250 2008.Worked perfectly. Air bag off sign is gone. Just going to need to really get under the driver side dash to stick a paper clip in the tiny holes. Thanks!
Very helpful sir, this worked on my Toyota Camry 2002, I had an broken wiring harness rear left on ABS sensor. I fixed it but disconnecting battery doesn't help, so I tried this and it works well. So much thanks
Thanks a lot. This trick works on my 2008 Camry! After checking the abs sensor resistance, the abs light turned on. Disconnect the negative power didn't turn off the light.
Thanks my friend, your advice has helped me a ton on my 05 Tundra, and this little tid bit helped as well, just about to do the steering rack, your video on that is excellent. Thanks again from one fellow Mustang, Tundra man to another....
Thanks for sharing🙏🏾. Short&sweet. It works on my xle camry 01. The abs light keep flashing 2_1 code which is the rightfront sensor or the abs module. The wheel speed sensor was fine. I replaced the ABS pump control cos the rightfront wheel not function. Running smooth now. Thanks again👍🏽
I have Toyota Yaris 2012, put the pin in 5th one from the right on both rows, worked first time for me, no need to pump brakes just let the lights flash for about 5 secs
Be certain you look at the way the port is mounted in the car first. My Tundra port is mounted upside down compared to this one so just be aware of its direction before sticking a wire in it.
Thanks a lot, this worked on my 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid. I also had the ABS, VSC system sign on after replacing the front axle, axle seal and tie rob, but this using method reset the ABS and other signs on my car.
Thanks, I was working wheels and ABS/ VSC and Brake lights came and no front brakes. I tried the jumper from pin 4 to 13 and did the reset (pumped brake pedal 8X and it corrected my problem.
Replaced the speed sensor on what I thought was a faulty one on my driver side. Came across this video and decided to do a reset. Read the forum where they said that if it doesn’t reset check the code that flashes on the abs dashboard. Read 3 and 1. Looked at a flash code list online and it was the passenger side not the driver side and I went to physically inspect it and the cable straight up ripped. Man the answer was literally under my nose the entire time I only assumed it was the driver side because my splash guard ripped off and the light came on around the same time.
Brother how you did it....I watched the video....I got the same car 2011 Camry hybrid and it is a push button start...I got the abs light flashing on the dashboard....the video says don't start the car but pump the brake 8 times....how we do on a push button start....thanks if you explain it to me how u got it done
Did this in my 2004 Tacoma after cleaning all the wheel sensors and connectors on the sensor harness the ABS light would still flash. I’ll update my comment if the light comes back. Update: The light came back after one full day.
Do not use a paperclip. Paper clip is too big in diameter and will spread the terminals for the data link connector. Sometimes causing no communication with a scan tool.
"Pin 4 on the top, 4th one over" ... 4th one from what direction? right or left? And pin 13 is how many pins over on the bottom? The book was a little out of focus so couldn't read the diagram. At 1:25 it looks like the paperclip is in fourth pin from the left on the top, and the 5th pin from the left on the bottom. I want to make sure I'm shorting the right leads to prevent causing possible electrical damage to the vehicle. T.Y. for the vid.
FYI: This is not applicable to 98 Camry LE 2.2l 5SFE Japan built. There are no wires at those points. There are only 4 wires used in total, on the OBD2 connector. I saw someone posted that it did work on 98 V6, maybe that was XLE...somehow that seems unlikely but could be. Possibly the build date has something to do with it. On my 98, you have to fix the problem and just take it for a short drive and it clears.
LOL although this was literally the most infuriating video ( :D ) to watch because of camera aiming, I must also thank you for giving us this very valuable information. Thanks
PS I already checked on youtube and the only video dealing with it the guy pulled the whole dashboard apart including the dash pad to get at the instrument panel. Seems a little over the top...but maybe not. The video was of poor quality too. Thanks again, George

Mustie 1, You are such a great man....it works on my toyota vios 2012...Thank you so much........
Thanks dude. It worked, that damn abs light is gone finally. I managed to change the broken sensor. The abs light remained.. until yesterday.
I have Toyota Yaris 2012, put the pin in 5th one from the right on both rows, worked first time for me, no need to pump brakes just let the lights flash for about 5 secs
Had the same problem because I had to bleed the brakes on a 2004 Toyota Prius and it now works fine
The ground the pin deal. I retrieve codes on OBD1's with a paper clip. I never knew something so new could FLASH out the code. Cool stuff
Be certain you look at the way the port is mounted in the car first.
My Tundra port is mounted upside down compared to this one so just be aware of its direction before sticking a wire in it.
Holy crap-- the electronics in cars is crazy-- wonder how long it will be before people start putting "easter eggs" in car's software
Worked on my Lexus is350 after I fix the wheel speed sensor harness thanks man
Thanks....worked on my 2011 Yaris after replacing both hub assemblies
Worked on my Yaris 2000, thanks for sharing!

Thank you . Your guide works on my 1996 Lexus LS 400. Appreciate your time for us.

Wasn't it obvious he could have slowed down and pointed out where to count from. Obviously one side of the connector is longer than the other.
Do you count left to right or right to left. Think with your dip stick Jimmy.
@@blackhatter011
Help! I have looked through all of the tools in my shed and can't find the dipstick jimmy..
no, thats its purpose, just make sure you do the right pins,
Its works on Nissan Sentra sir?

Tried this on a 1970-1/2 Gremlin....didn't work. Lol great video thanks.
worked, took it for a drive, abs light back on again, honestly sick to death of the electronics on this car
alvinthf dby that means you still have a problem, more then likely a bad wheel sensor,
i had the same problem and finally found out that the abs sensor ring was snapped in two
Worked for my 2010 toyota tacoma 2wd. Thanks!
