Right rear speed sensor wire harness repair cost

That's you know dealer pricing issue You can go to a car at LKQ and unplug the harness at the two ends and take it with you for probably seven or eight $12 at the most The harnesses don't go bad they get rubbed on the wiring gets exposed and then all the business happens the lights come on whatever or your speed sensor in the rear is built into your rear hub which may have never been replaced so the problem could be in your rear hub not in the harness so a reputable mechanic will follow the harness from where it plugs in and the top of the wheel well there or whatever and runs down to the wheel bearing and plugs into the back plastic part of the wheel bearing If all that wiring is in good shape and you have continuity from where it plugs into the hub and I'll back over where it plugs into the car that harness shows continuity and nothing seems to be amiss then more than likely the problem is in that old hub which by now is you know 12 years old so the hub could be bad you could have a code for a bad speed sensor not necessarily the harness I can't see from here can't read your code from here usually you get the code from your mechanic and you post it here or you have a capable scanner and you read the code before you ever call the mechanic and you post it here If you get things in order you can save money when your car not working causes a panic and strife then you make poor decisions quickly because you're just shooting from the hip and you may not be good at that yet and methodology does matter somewhat.

 

What people mean by a 'scanner' always comes down to some combination of: a dongle that plugs into the car, and some kind of computerlike device, and some kind of software that runs on it.

Some 'scanners' will be a single box that contains all those, and has its own screen and buttons, and you plug it in the car and it does its thing.

Some will be a dongle that plugs into your smartphone (or connects by Bluetooth or WiFi) and combines with an app you install on the phone.

Some will be a dongle you connect to a laptop, and software you put on the laptop. That's how Toyota Techstream works. Techstream is just the software, you pony up the laptop*, and you can buy any dongle that Techstream will work with (most "SAE J2534" dongles are supposed to work).

We have a thread that compares and reviews various scanner tools and phone apps. The testing in that thread is all on gen 2 cars, but the information is probably pretty usable for gen 3.

One way or another, to the the bleeding completely and effectively after that repair, you do need one of the scanner choices that can do that.

*well, there's also a Techstream bundle you can buy that even includes the dongle and a custom ruggedized laptop. But if you can afford that bundle, you're probably also just having your chauffeur run the car down to the Toyota dealer to get fixed.
