The ABS light is going off on my 1997 T100. I isolated it to the right front ABS wheel speed sensor. The part is discontinued. Does anyone have a suggestion on what I can replace this with?

I don't think there are a lot of T100s out there that have ABS. It's cool that your truck does!
You're going to end up having to get one from a junkyard or find one that interchanges off of another Toyota. Got a pic of the sensor? Ideally it'll match something from a 2nd or 3rd gen 4Runner.

Check car-part.com and call yards. I think it was a rare option, so you're probably in for a lot of calling people.
Worst case you're either repairing the sensor, retrofitting a new sensor on there, or deleting ABS.

Good to know just the same!
3 yr. Warranty, thats respectable.
Glad my 95' doesn't have ABS, one less thing to worry about.
I mean yeah. His original lasted 14 years Don't see why these won't.

The '97 T DX that I drive DOES NOT have ABS braking. In the past 4 years I've had to slam on my brakes 3 times. Each times I skidded 6-8ft and no collision on dry pavement two of those 3 times. On the third incident I collided while on wet pavement doing 35 mph and thankfully it was a very minor dent in the other vehicle. I wonder now if ABS would have stopped me in time.
