Two problems related to brake antilock wheel speed sensor have been reported for the 2001 Toyota Sequoia. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2001 Toyota Sequoia based on all problems reported for the 2001 Sequoia.
Started with both vsc and trac lights on. In both warm and colder temperatures, the car abs engages. Feels like driving over gravel. Car pulls to one side or another, and braking seems almost impossible. This became more and more common. It started once every couple of months, to almost every trip. Toyota read codes and stated that it was yaw rate sensor that needed to be replaced. Over a cost of $1800. We changes it and the car acted normally for 1 day. A day later the lights came back on and the skidding occurred again. Even after replacing the yaw rate sensor and performing a 0-point calibration, they read the codes, and showed the following: c0371 yaw rate sensor output signal malfunction c1208 steering position sensor output signal malfunction c1234 malfunction in yaw rate sensor c1271 low output voltage of right front speed sensor c1272 low output voltage of left front speed sensor c1273 low output voltage of right rear speed sensor c1274 low output voltage of left rear speed sensor c1275 abnormal change in output voltage of right front speed sensor c1276 abnormal change in output voltage of left front speed sensor c1277 abnormal change in output voltage of right rear speed sensor c1278 abnormal change in output voltage of left rear speed sensor c1279 deceleration sensor is faulty c1281 master cylinder pressure sensor output signal is faulty they estimated that the cost of repairing all of these sensors was approx $4500. The likelihood that all of these sensors gave out at the same time, to me is highly unlikely. There has been numerous complaints about this car's braking system and this seems to be an exploit of yet another shortcoming of this car. Currently if the car sits idling for more than 10 mins, the vsc and trac lights come on regardless of temperature outside.
The contact owns a 2001 Toyota Sequoia. The abs warning light would illuminate on the instrument control panel, and then the vehicle would drift to the right. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and he was advised that the abs sensor needed to be replaced. The current mileage was 60000. The failure mileage was 55000.
