Look for a place to scan the ABS and the code will direct you to what to fix. I have my ABS light in for almost 4 months and just last week Sunday Mrford scan and fixed it.

Thank you, I need someone in lagos

I drive a Toyota camry too and my abs light has been on for over 8 months now, naso I dey drive my car... Most brake masters or rewires will just scan and clear the error and you will think they've fixed something.

Do your dashboard lights flicker?
Does your battery get drained easily?

Not really, the brake and ABS goes on and off, when it is on, the speedometer stops working and the ac starts emitting hot air

Check your alternator...its failing...and killing your battery.

It fails and your Speedometer goes haywire. Brother you need a comprehensive diagnosis.

Hello bro. Its nice to see you help however i believe it is important we are careful of the kind of information we put out there in the name of helping.
How do you explain charging system fault being the cause of ABS/Brake fault?
Quite a number of things could be wrong here.
@OP pls do provide the information of your car so we can help direct.
Now for diagosis, as suggested kindly scan your ABS module for stored fault
The reason you loose your speedometer is because most likely the wheel speed sensor responsible for feeding the ECU with with the speed from the wheel is faulty. And since there is no signal, you loose your speedometer.
However, it could just be a wiring fault, a faulty fuse, failing ABS module.
So to get rid of guesses pls scan the module.
Write down the codes. You can post here, however its not bad if you yourself look online for relevant information towards a correct diagnosis ...

Thank you for the detailed response. I use a 2008 camry. I have scanned it and got the following codes U0073 and P0037, i was told I have to change the ABS,

The P0037 is just for you to change the O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 1 while the U0073 is for you to change the ABS module, bro for your info just the ABS module not the entire ABS system be careful with local mechanics

Ooooh, how much does it cost to change the abs module?

You can't get less than 40 to 45k. They will sell it with the pump

Ok sir, do you have any reliable person in ladipo?

Nobody actually but since I shop with them it's easy to return and collect another one if the one bought gives issue. And if you re not conversant with ladipo nobody owns a shop until you buy and discover say na ladipo boys. So if you re going to buy there pls shine your eyes.

I deal with master brake and ABS, sir is your toyota camry hybrid? Hybrid ABS is expensive than normal Toyota camry ABS

My shop is at paramo ladipo market, you will pay when your car Abs light and brake light is off guarantee assured contact: 07033059769

Don't talk bad about ladipo, when you are buying, buy directly from shop, don't mislead people, it is only at warehouse they sell non tested things

Okay sir, thanks for the info

Thank you for the detailed response. I use a 2008 camry. I have scanned it and got the following codes U0073 and P0037, i was told I have to change the ABS,

P0037 has to do with oxygen sensor heater circuit. That definitely has nothing to do with the ABS light although it might affect drivability a little in regard to fuel consumption.
U0073 - ABS SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE COMMUNICATION OFF.
Why were you adviced to change the ABS module?
Have they confirmed there is good power and ground supply to the Motor?
Did they properly diagnose and tesg the module to reach this conclusion? If yes how was it tested?
I have a feeling you are only about to throw part at this problem however they might be correct. But pls before going ahead to buy a new ABS module, your technician should do the following
1. Test all electrical circuits connected to that ABS
2. CHECK THE COMMUNICATION WIRE HARNESS. Got a feeling this might be the problem.

If all checks out and it is confirmed rhe moduleis dead, then You can go ahead to replace the module.

Many thanks for all your suggestions. The electrician checked the abs and confirmed power got to it. He thinks the abs and one other component might be responsible for the problem

Like someone suggested above, check your alternator. That's the culprit. Speaking from first hand experience.

Can you please explain further

can you possibly give more detail based on your experience how the alternator causes the ABS and and Brake lights to be turned on and also causing the PCM to store the code U0073 - ABS SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE COMMUNICATION OFF.
really want to learn.

No one knows it all. It wasn't a mere guess... I drive the same car and I spoke from personal experience...besides..I already said he should check the charging system..I never said he should replace it.
From my personal experience...my a/c suddenly started blowing hot...the speedometer stopped working, the abs/brake, battery, oil alert light came up on the dash. After some time, the engine died...I put a new battery and all the lights went off, only to come up again...got another battery, and the same thing happened again, and again..until I had to replace the alternator.
Good enough..someone here too has experienced same...so, we can't both come up with confusing stories.

Yes you are right. No one knows it. Ofcourse i dont. But in Diagnosis d way to get it right is being logical. Now based on your words, all the lights came on.
In the OPs case only the ABS and Brake light came on. Meaning this problem is only isolated to the braking system.
And after scanning you discover its a communication problem.
I'm sorry if i came at you in an unpolite manner. Not my intention. However the reason we diagnose is to get to the root of a problem and not taking mere guesses...
Thanks again.

There's no harm in telling op to check his charging system...or is there any?
Cause I'm not sure I understand why you're trying so hard to make an unnecessary point. It was a suggestion, not a guess!
