2007 Toyota Camry.

Before you do anything you need to disconnect the battery. Find the negative connector usually it has a black cap or a minus symbol,
loosen the nut,
remove the connector from the terminal and move it away from
the battery.
This is where the ABS control module is located in a 2007 Toyota Camry.
I ordered a replacement part from my local Auto
Recycler. All I needed was the ABS control module
but my Auto Recycler only sells a module with the ABS pump attached.
I realized I had a problem when my speedometer stopped working while I was driving.
The brake warning light and ABS warning light came on.
The speedometer needle would occasionally flicker as did the tachometer
which is the RPM gauge and the temperature gauge stopped working altogether.
The gear light that usually says the "R", "N", or "D" "D" when you're driving
that would turn on and off all by itself.
I'll put a link in the description to a video showing the craziness that I saw on my dash.
Lift up on the plastic lever to unlock the cable connector then disconnect the cable.
Remember you were going to disconnect your battery first.
Now you can remove the four screws from the anti-lock braking system control module.
One
Two
Three
Four. Here I'm using a 5/32 socket to loosen the bolts.
With the cable and the four bolts removed pull the ABS control module straight off.
On your replacement part make sure that you didn't get any dirt on the gasket before you install it.
On the inside of the ABS module there are two slots and eight holes that need to line up
with the pins on the Block.
I lined up the two slotted pins first then gently worked the eight pins into their holes.
With the replacement ABS module in place you can secure it with the four bolts you previously removed.
My replacement part cost one hundred seventy seven dollars Canadian
and that was for a recycled part. Now that included the ABS pump which I didn't need to replace.
Replacing the a ABS pump would be a more complex job as
the break lines are under pressure and that jobs probably best left to the experts.
When ordering the part the Auto Recycler asked me a few questions.
They asked if my car had
a traction control button, which it does not. And they asked for the 5th digit in the
VIN which is the vehicle identification number.
With the bolts tightened you can reattach the cable connector.
To do so just
push it back into place and then slide the lever back down
and it should pull its way back and lock in place.
Here's the same thing just at a different angle so you can get a better view of how to lock that cable
connector back in place. Once the cable is locked in place you can reattach the battery wire and
tighten that connection.
If you replace your ABS module leave me a comment on how much your part cost.
