ABS Code 39 On 1998 Toyota Camry, Pls Help! by 20pence(op): 10:36am On Jul 25, 2017
Hello Gurus in the house.

My 1998 Toyota Camry has the ABS light on. I was able to manually get the code by jumping the DLC1 diagnostic connector. The code is 39 (Open Circuit - Left Rear Speed Sensor or Circuit).

I have changed the Left Rear ABS Sensor and cleared the code manually, but it comes right back with the same code. Has anyone handled this issue on this model before or you know the solution to it? Kindly share to assist a fellow in need.

Oga GAZZUZZ, Ikenna and other gurus in the house, please help!

You don't take dtc code literally to avoid buying parts that is not defective ,it is good to try to understand how things works first before making decision on diagnosis !!!
The ABS wheel sensor is not in isolation ,it is in a circuit that has connection to the ABS module and also the sensor is taking signal from a abs reluctor ring that Is attached to the driveshaft .
So other things your need to check ;
1.wiring system integrity from abs wheel sensor to the ABS module ,
2.ABS reluctor Ring on the driveshaft (also try to clean if it is dirty )!!!

@ honmusa...thank you so much for your advice. I really appreciate it. The ABS code 39 is gone. I am very happy!!!!! I cleaned the reluctor rings as directed and the wiring (to the extent I checked) appeared okay.

However, another ABS code has re-surfaced. It is ABS code 35. In my lame mind, I think it is still connected to the earlier fault code.

I will like to book an appointment and bring it to your workshop.
