    Abs blink code 32 advice. At least I think it’s 32.

    So I have the jumper in my diagnostic port and I am reading the ABS codes by counting the ABS light flashing three times and then two times.....

    Is that correct?

    My dash light that has the exclamation mark inside the circle is also randomly blinking am I supposed to be counting that as well?

    I replaced the left front wheel bearing last week and I also disconnected the right ABS sensor and drove around with it disconnected for a few days.

    When I have free time I am going to take the left front tire off and check to see if the sensor is rubbing on the dust shield or something

    But can anyone verify that I correctly counted the ABS codes?

    Does the blinking circle and exclamation mark Mean anything?

    ABS blink code 32 =left front sensor malfunction

    That’s the wheel bearing I did. I remembered that the 10 mm bolt sheared off when I tried to ratchet it out.... I didn’t even think I was using the much force. It has to be some galvanic bonding corrosion with the aluminum knuckle cause I’ve talked the speed sensor bolt out of my rusty Highlander knuckles a million times ok.

    So I’m thinking cause my sensor isn’t bolted down tight its not reading correctly

    I did wrap the plastic cylinder with two layers of electrical tape to make it snug in the knuckle and thought I had it down nice and flush.

    So I reset the code took the electrical tape off the abs sensor placed it snuggly in the hole again. Again the abs code went off in less then a 1/4 mile.

    Anyone have any good remedy besides replacing the knuckle? I have bolt stud nub stuck in it. I can try and drill and tap something into it. It would be a heck of a lot easier to drill into the aluminum knuckle and fasten the black plastic tab to it that way .....

    Anyone have experience with broken wheel sensor bolts? Will it garanteed screw up the ratings sensor readings without being bolted down ?

    I linked my blinking abs 32 code here :

    FYI
    I found a bunch of the codes on a sienna webpage, I assume they are on Prius chat but I can’t find them.

    If there's a decent machine shop near you, you might ask them to extract the broken bolt for you. I wouldn't expect them to charge much or take very long.

    I mean, I guess it's a simple process, but it's never gone as well for me as for people who do it all day.
