ABS Light on, tried code checking Options

[HaRv3sTeR]

So today i brought my car the a local mechanic to change a wheel bearing on the front passenger side. When i got home, i notice that the amber ABS light was staying on all the time. I called them and they told me they might accidentally knocked the sensor and need to check it out. When i realized how expensive such sensor is, i started searching on this forum to fix this the cheapest way. I started by unplugging the battery for 10-15min to reset the system (no luck), also the fuses/relays seems ok. I 'll try soon to do a code checking, volt/amp test on the sensor itself and check if the sensor if actually plugged in correctly.

Questions:

1-where is the sensor located? and how difficult it is to access it?
2-must i use the traditional diagnostic box to do the code checking or the ABS have it's own diagnostic box?
3-do you think it's fair to make the garage pay in case of sensor replacement?
4-do you know if our celica share the same sensor than other toyota models?..or the celica ST? (might help to find them)

thx for the help

ok so i tried code check with both the E1/TC and E1/TE1 methods and it wasnt working both ways
first

E1/TC was making my green cruise light to flash continually while the E1/TE1 was making my Overdrive/Check engine lights flash continually

i tried to pull the short pin and then the E1/TC was giving me code 36 (by looking at ABS light) which is not helping very much.

curiously, i tried the engine code again (E1/TE1) but same results as short pin in (first try)..what does that mean: Overdrive/Check engine lights flash continually


im also thinking...maybe my mechanic installed a bearing that wasnt made for ABS...does such thing exist or it is the same bearing for all models?
