Toyota: rear antilock brakes, diagnostic port, antilock brakes


Question
I have a 1993 toyota compact pick-up. V6 automatic, extended cab 4x4. The "rear anti-lock brake" light is on in the dash. Where is the sensor for this, and how do I get the light to go off? I don't care about the anti-lock feature working, I didn't even know i had it until the light came on. I just dont want to be looking at the light on in the dash all the time.

Answer
Well, the speed sensor is located right on the strut.  You'll see the brake line and then this other line, that's the speed sensor.  How to make it turn off?  Well, I suggest you have the "code pulled" out of the ECU.  Just have someone with an OBD-I scanner or Toyota scanner to plug it in the diagnostic port and then it'll tell you what's the error causing the light to come on.  Other than that, dismantling the instrument cluster and pulling the light is the only sure-fire way to kill the light without any fix.
