Hi mate, I drive a 2012 Toyota Avensis and had problems with the ABS system some time ago. Just like you, the ABS warning light came on and the system behaved strangely. After I went to the mechanic, my car was found to have a faulty ABS control unit. This was definitely a serious problem, as the ABS is very important for driving safety. The mechanic replaced the ABS control unit and since then everything has been working perfectly again. So, my tip: get it checked at the garage as soon as possible. Good luck with that!

Hey buddy, thanks for the tip! Interesting that you had similar problems, but your Toyota Avensis 2012 is just a different model. I hope it's not the ABS control unit in my Toyota Corolla, it could be really expensive. Do you happen to remember how much you paid for the repair back then? And have you had any other problems with the ABS since then, or was that really the solution? I want to be sure before I go back to the garage.

Of course, dude! No problem, I still remember it well. The repair of the ABS control unit cost me €1000 at the time. Yes, it can be a bit expensive, but since then everything has been running smoothly and I've had no further problems with the ABS. And fortunately, the malfunction of the wheel speed sensor (ABS sensor) that you suspected was also fixed after the visit to the mechanic. To be honest, it was a relief. I'd recommend you get this checked out properly before it could cause more serious problems. Good luck buddy!

Hey dude, 1000€ sounds really expensive, but safety first. It's good to hear that you haven't had any further problems since. I'll definitely take your advice and get it checked as soon as possible. Hopefully it's just the wheel speed sensor that's acting up. Thanks for the support!

I'm seeking advice on my 2012 Toyota Yaris with 120,500 km. Recently, warning signals indicate a possible ABS sensor malfunction. What are the common symptoms and troubleshooting steps? How urgent is this issue, and could it impact driving safety? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Common symptoms of a faulty ABS sensor include the ABS warning light being on, unusual brake behavior like skidding or longer stopping distance, and sometimes an abnormal grinding noise. For troubleshooting, start by checking the ABS sensor itself for any visible damage or dirt. If it looks fine, you might need a diagnostic tool to read the error codes from your car's computer. This issue is quite urgent as the ABS system is crucial for your driving safety, especially in situations where sudden braking is required. I would recommend getting it checked by a professional mechanic as soon as possible.
