I got an ABS light on my 06 Sequoia, and my scanner indicates that I have a bad passenger side rear wheel speed sensor. This truck is strictly an occasional use tow/snowy weather vehicle, and including my kids' cars I have a fleet of over a half dozen vehicles to maintain, so an OEM Toyota sensor is probably not in the cards. I just can't justify spending $300+ just for that part, especially if I may have to replace a wheel seal along with it. Has anyone had any luck with an aftermarket sensor from a vendor like RockAuto or somewhere else? TIA!
Decent aftermarket supplier of wheel speed sensor?

Have you even gone underneath the vehicle yet to check things out before thinking you need a new one?
Often times the sensor itself just gets dirty or contaminated with some metal flakes.
Before I spend a dime I would poke around first and just look for something obvious.
If you do find you need one I have heard guys saying things like aftermarket 02 sensors, coils etc. dont always work well with Toyota's and stick with OEM.
If you do actually need one, I dont know if this is fake or not, but if its real, I dont think you can get much cheaper than $16 bucks for OEM.

I've had to do one on my 00-Civic, and then in our (inherited, would never buy) 13-Edge. Rock the Auto on both, no problems yet. I went middle road $ wise. Def clean existing one off/check wiring/put a test meter on it/spin the wheel and see if you are getting any signal.
Wow, some great replies here, thanks! This problem reared it's head in November. Around Christmas we had a winter storm moving in so I got the truck up on a lift and did a visual inspection. Didn't see any issues. I then decided to give cleaning the sensors a shot. I was able to remove both front sensors, but wasn't able to remove either of the rear sensors. They both seemed to be stuck, and I didn't want to force them and end up breaking a sensor that might actually be good. So I threw the wheels back on it and called it a day. I am going to disconnect both rears and run an ohm test to try to confirm that the right rear is the culprit before I order anything.
Cheapskate, that's awfully cheap for an OEM Toyota piece. I will have to look carefully at that one. The other link for $75 is more believable. But why are we kidding ourselves? It probably costs about $10 to manufacture these things.

Update to my earlier posts. Today I took the truck out for a drive with my bidirectional scanner attached. I put it in live data mode and all 4 sensors were registering correct speeds. At one point I had to brake hard suddenly, and then it threw a code for the right rear sensor, but when I started moving again all 4 sensors were again registering the correct speed. So I am scratching my head a bit about this one. Maybe I have one starting to go bad, or a poor connection in the harness. Guess I will have to get it up in the air and take a look.
I recall that there is an accelerometer under the console. I am wondering if this could be tied into the fact that it was under hard breaking when the code was thrown, but I think there is a separate code for this sensor. Does anyone have experience with this? Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

I checked my codes again and am now seeing that I am getting a C1223 and C1201 in addition to the C0210 for the wheel speed sensor. Hopefully these other codes will go away with correction of the wheel speed sensor, but the fact that the live data on my scanner shows a valid reading for the sensor has me wondering if that is in fact the problem. Anyone have any ideas on this? I hate to just start throwing parts at it.
