Hello everyone,

i have a 02is300, Im having issues with the abs… scanned the vehicle and the following codes appear, C0278, C1223, C1241. The car has sat in the drive way due to me buying my 23 is350. No major work has been done recently to the car besides valve cover gasket… ive done the following to trouble shoot the vehicle. Replaced both abs trac relays under the hood. Tested resistance on all abs sensors they all check. Not sure what to try next any ideas???

What symptoms do you have other than the codes? Are you making sure that you connect the scan tool only after turning key on, because some scantools will put the car into diagnostic mode and throw many codes if you plug the scanner in and then turn the key on.

Clean the ABS rings and sensors first.

Thank you for the speedy reply! Finally got around doing more trouble shooting. To answer your question about symptoms. When starting the vehicle it runs fine but after a few minutes the trac light will start flashing and the when pushing on the accelerator there’s some hesitation.
I also tried running the vehicle with out the scan tool and still had same issues.
I appreciate you because I have no ideas what else it could be
