C1407 2018 Toyota RAV4 Code - Open Or Short In Rear Speed Sensor Right Circuit

The C1407 code indicates an open or short circuit in the rear right speed sensor wiring or a malfunction in the rear right wheel speed sensor itself.

Symptoms may include an illuminated ABS warning light, traction control light, or stability control light, as well as potential loss of ABS or traction control functionality.

Common causes include a damaged or faulty rear right wheel speed sensor, corroded or loose electrical connections, or damaged wiring leading to the sensor.

Diagnose by using an OBDII scanner to confirm the code, visually inspecting the rear right wheel speed sensor and its wiring, and testing the sensor’s resistance with a multimeter.

While the vehicle may still be drivable, features like ABS and traction control may be disabled, which can reduce safety, especially in poor road conditions.

Repairs may include replacing the rear right wheel speed sensor, repairing or replacing damaged wiring, or cleaning corroded electrical connections.

Repair costs can range from $100 to $300, depending on whether you're replacing the sensor or repairing wiring, and whether you do the work yourself or visit a mechanic.

Yes, dirt or debris on the sensor can cause it to malfunction, but the code typically points to a wiring issue or sensor failure.

After repairs, use an OBDII scanner to clear the code, and then test drive the vehicle to ensure the issue is resolved and the code does not return.

Common tools include a jack and jack stands, a multimeter to check resistance, a socket set for removing the sensor, and an OBDII scanner to read and clear the code.
