Puzzled how these can fail except by :-
Cable damage
Sensor can being crushed by rust . They sheathed the can in plastic on later cars.
Mechanical damage by stones, etc
Is yours like this ?

Re: Lights on dash - Abs and Airbag issue
There is , of course , the acid test.
Take her out on the road and see if the ABS works.

Re: Lights on dash - Abs and Airbag issue
Very unlikely three or for sensors have failed all at the same time.
So the module feeding that result to the pmu is possibly faulty , or dirty plug/socket.

Re: Lights on dash - Abs and Airbag issue
Unless they are physically damaged there is NOTHING that can fail on those ABS sensors .

Re: 19yr old probe owner (first car)
Sorry but 'don't' is my best advice.

Re: Rear calliper/handbrake rebuild
The handbrake cable pulls a lever arm on the caliper. That lever arm rotates a shaft which disappears into the caliper. There is a lipseal on that shaft , which fails because of the high side loads from pulling the handbrake on. YOU can help stop the water getting in , by packing the space between t...

Problem will occur when you release the handbrake .
It won't.
Because the little shaft seal leaks , allowing water/sallt to corrode ,etc.
THAT IS WHY YOU NEED THE........................DENSO tape .
