Default Hs250h rear speed sensor?

so my moms hs250h brake pedal goes all the way to the floor when released it sounds like air is coming out. So we took it to the dealer just to find out what the problem is and they told us it is the speed sensor on the rear right wheel. They told me it was $800 and the part is $575. So I told them I don’t want to do it. So now I’ve been look for the right rear speed sensor I went to auto zone they only have the front. I went to advance auto parts they only have the front I checked online on Lexus.com and I only see the front even on the diagram https://parts.lexus.com/a/Lexus_2010...2410-8414.html I don’t see any rear speed sensor. Am I missing something?
I did find this https://www.go-parts.com/ps-product....or&sku=5EF6FFE can this be what I’m looking for just not sure since the dealer price was over $500 and this is $40.

Something doesn't sound right. Brake pedal going to the floor usually means you have air in the brake lines, or no fluid in the reservoir. I can't see how it would have anything to do with a speed sensor. I know these hybrid brake systems are more complex than standard brakes, but I can't see how a malfunction in the regen part of the brake system would let the brake pedal go to the floor. I'd be looking for a second opinion.

I agree I do not see what a speed sensor has to do with falling brake pedal. It sounds hydraulic related to me. You need another opinion.

Take it to someplace else, maybe a Toyota dealer or independent that works on hybrids or Toyota. This search found a few in Florida, maybe one is near you https://www.google.com/search?q=hybr...hrome&ie=UTF-8
