Toyota will have me sign their declaration that the vehicle should not be driven, but like you say, the brakes still work. They just want to cover themselves should there be a prang "because of no ABS".
By the way, I was told by the service dept today that the design of the ABS system has changed on the new models such as mine and the part (requiring a cable connecting the wheel sensor) is not available in Oz .... not even showing on the spare parts list. I don't get it, but am stuck with it for the time being.
Seems Toyota Japan have stuffed up somewhere along the line.
If it is of interest to anyone, I will keep you posted on the explanations / outcome.
By the way Mat, love the big red truck ........ same as mine ! Not many around in that colour (red ones go faster don't they ?!)
Cheers

tinners wrote:Hi TrentRyan... do I assume from your comment that you have the same ABS problem ? You would have the latest model I guess, same as mine. Annoying problem, particularly as the part "did not exist" on Toyota Japan's list somehow. All is well with mine now. Hope you get sorted out.
Now for the A/T oil light / temp problem !! Interested to hear if you have any issues.
Cheers
