Sometimes when an engine starts smoking... you need a root cause analysis... you also need painstaking detective work...some work cannot be done in a day, it could take days or months. If you don't want to do or cannot afford root cause analysis...there is an easy way out...get another engine. CAVEAT: THERE ARE SOME ENGINES FOR WHICH ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE OF THE COST OF GETTING A REPLACEMENT! Here is a story of someone with sludge in a 2005 Toyota Sienna that the dealer was unable to fix...but the end user fixed with the help of a mechanic who knew what he was doing plus lots of patience and time. I will post the initial story of his problem and the resolution as well as the thread the story was taken from so you can read for yourself and form your conclusions. THE INITIAL PROBLEM: I have a 2 1/2 year old Sienna LE with 54,500 miles on it. The engine is the 3.0L V6. I have read quite a bit about the oil sludge problem(s) on these engines and am wondering if anyone else has any issues with an '05? I change the oil myself (which is going to be an issue b/c while I wrote it all down in the maintenance book, I don't have receipts) and while I went beyond 5,000 miles on some intervals, it was never more than 7,500. The engine is now burning oil at an alarming rate (3-4 Quarts per 200 miles) and I am not driving the vehicle any more. I had noticed some build up under the oil filler cap about 15,000 miles ago, but thought little of it because there was no burning of the oil and the engine ran great (no noises, no hesitation, etc.). Now the engine is still running very quiet and little hesitation, but you can clearly see the oil going out the tailpipe in the form of thick blue smoke. THE SOLUTION FOUND: So after pretty much being lambasted on this forum for not changing my oil, neglecting my maintenance, using inferiror oil, etc, etc, I finally got the appropriate focus from Toyota that this issue warranted. How you ask...by employing the services of an out of work mechanic friend who had lots of free time...and a digital camera.

AutoElectNG:I invest in tools . You need to see my my tool box and range of handy tools I had Honda HDS diagnostic when I had my Honda Pilot. I scan my vehicles and direct technicians on what to do. I Got the techstream from Amazon and installed it on a virtual machine running window XP. So You know I am techy. Hope this helps |

Toyota is not complex...Toyota is simple...the automotive industry is a competitive one...Toyota cannot be left behind...if others go techy...Toyota will go tech...Toyota will not go tech...Toyota has gone tech already...Give your state-of-the-art Toyota's to roadside repair shops at your peril. Read this link https://www.collisionrepairmag.com/sponsored-articles/20070-future-of-repair from the first word to the last word and then tell me if it is not suicide to take your 2018 Toyota to a roadside mechanic who is not aware of 10% of the new technology in a Toyota. Quotes to ponder Toyota introduced the all-new 2018 C-HR and launched a completely redesigned 2018 Camry. Lexus also added the 2018 LC to its lineup, and an entirely transformed 2018 LS will go on sale in Canada early next year. These new models were built using the Toyota New Global Architecture and the Global Architecture-Luxury platforms. This new approach to platform and powertrain design uses ultra-high strength steel for the body and lightweight materials (aluminum and carbon fibre) on select models to reduce weight, increase body rigidity, deliver superior handling and more dynamic performance. In models such as the Lexus LC, the use of self-piercing riveting allows these different metals to be securely joined where traditional welding methods are unsuitable in place of spot-welding. Almost our entire lineup of 2018 models are equipped with standard Toyota Safety Sense or Lexus Safety System+ packages, which may include active safety features such as Pre-Collision System (with Pedestrian Detection), Lane Departure Alert, Automatic High Beams, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Several safety features found in Toyota/Lexus vehicles will require calibration, initialization or even a test drive after a repair to ensure proper operation. Newer vehicles are being repaired using techniques and procedures that may have been suitable five to 10 years ago, but may no longer apply to today’s vehicles, especially with the introduction of materials such as high-strength steels, aluminum and carbon fibre. Just a few years ago windshield replacement was a straightforward repair. Today, the windshield can have a heads-up display imbedded in the glass and mounted cameras that form part of the advanced safety systems. As a result of these complex features, Toyota only supports the use of Genuine Toyota/Lexus parts for repair. The camera, once removed and re-installed, requires calibration using Toyota/Lexus scan tools, Techstream, and special targets. If proper calibration of the camera is not performed, it’s possible that the Toyota Safety Sense/Lexus Safety Systems+ systems may give false or inaccurate warnings and not operate as originally designed. |

AutoElectNG:you are right.Once diagnosed Lexus 570 NO crank and no start issues the ECM failed to communicate to scanner through OBDll.I have to communicate through ABS via CAN network.At the end we discovered software in ECM is corrupt.Toyota and Lexus of today are more complex due to introduction of different modules/sensors .Technical skills,Techstream and professional scanner will do the job.

Toyota is simple crowd...Toyota is not complex to repair crowd As at 2016, Toyota had already set in motions plans to turn the common Corolla into a complex machine Yet more sensors are going to be installed on the Toyota Corolla. Purpose of those sensors? To enable automatic braking systems. More sensors? More points of failure in the event of a collision. More sensors? More stuff to repair or replace as well as conduct pre- and post- scans during the collision repair. One more marque that the uneducated auto technician had better not try to repair |
