Yes it will. I had a problem with my ABS a while back it just started this loud screaching sound from the pump. So I pulled the fuse from the fusebox under the hood. It's clearly labled "ABS" and it's a 60A yellow fuse. (I have an 01) The ABS, VSC, and BRAKE! lights will be illuminated after you pull these. Kind of annoying but I guess you could pull those lights out too if you wanted. Or do one of the tempoary disable mods.

NOTE: The ABS fuse is screwed in from the bottom and you need to remove the inner tray of the fusebox and unscrew the fuse before just pulling it out. I used this writeup here to give an idea of how to pull it out.

Pulling ABS fuse will disengage both of these but you will have the dash lights illumated. There are mods out there to do temporary disablements like for 4wheeling etc... if you do a search you should be able to find it. Here is a link for for the fuse pull.

I've got the same issue with my 2002 4Runner Sport Edition. I recently has the SS 1.2 lift put in along with the Tundra brake upgrade. Ever since, my ABS cycles as soon as I start my car when it's still in park and even when I'm gently braking downhill or in stop-and-go traffic. I've taken it to the mechanic and they haven't been able to find anything wrong with it. Wouldn't a bad speed sensor register a code on the computer? Does anyone have photos or a diagram showing how to access the speed sensors to clean them? Thanks.

Thanks for the advise. I had my CV axels swapped out this weekend and ended up leaving the repair shop with the ABS pulsating at every stop. After paying a "mechanic" I went home and removed the driver side sensor and cleaned it. It now works like it is supposed to.

I am trying to replace a wheel sensor and I can't get the stupid thing out! I have tried pulling, prying, yanking........I can twist it and wiggle it a little but it will not pull out. Any advice?
