Good day house, please my tokunbo bought Honda pilot 2011 has this check engine light on with quote "check emission system". When scanned this codes popped up P0135
P0141
P2184
P0430 Oxygen sensors and catalyst .... I don't if cleaning it will solve the issue..... I stay in Ikeja

Cleaning it won't fix anything if it's bad.

2006 Toyota has drive by wire system sir/ma. The idle control system is incorporated into the the throttle body and electronically controlled unlike what you posted.

Manuella4ace:


Clean iacv.

Which one be IACV for 2006 corolla?

Montaque:


Thank you bros. I hope to meet up with the mechanic this weekend to scan the car again. The throttle body seems clean the last time we opened it. Save for few carbon build up at the back of it, it looks stainless clean from the outside.

It looking clean does not mean it's electronics are intact.

Good evening gurus. Please what could be the problem with my 05 Honda Civic? It jerks while driving. Sometimes it looses power that I'll have to turn off the engine and restart it again. It doesn't show any error code when scanned. I've changed fuel pump, injector mouth, 02 sensor, nuzzles, ignition coil and spark plugs still the problem persist. What else should I do??

You can't have those issues and not have a registered fault code.
Kindly take your car to a good shop for proper diagnosis.

Montaque:
I drive a 2006 Corolla.

The car shows no engine light. However, I noticed that on cold startup, the rpm goes high to 2000 and above, and when I drive out on the street, i will have to keep an rpm of over 1000 in the streets. Then 2000 to +3000 on the highway. Then, there was also rough idling. My friend noticed that and told me that the fuel consumption will be high due to the high rpm. I called my mechanic, he scanned it and told me that the Long term fuel trim is +15% whereas it is supposed to be not less than 10%. He advised i should service the nozzle and clean the throttle body. I have done these things. There is no more rough idling. But the rpm is still high, sometimes i have to reve it to 2500-3000 to achieve good speed in the street, not to talk of highway. I told my mechanic, he said I should check the fuel delivery - fuel pump and filter. Are we on the right track on this?

I also noticed that when i turn the key to start the vehicle, i hear a click but the car wont crank on the first try. But then, it will start on the second try. This started after I cleaned the throttle body. Its a new battery just bought in October. I also changed kick in January this year. The Alternator was serviced in October too. No battery light is showing, so I dont know what this is.

Your LFT should be in the negative regions if you have high fuel consumption. Regardless of the numbers, kindly scan the car and replace your throttle body if there's code related to it for peace of mind.

Rex123:
Good evening house, I have a couple of questions.
I have a 2010 crosstour, I serviced the car two weeks and I checked the computer today it’s showing 70% is that normal? I serviced with Mobil 5w20.
Secondly I recently noticed while driving when I try to accelerate sometimes rpm won’t go beyond 3000 and 60km. To fix this I park and turn the engine of and on and it sorts it self. What could be the issue?

For your second query, you'll need to scan the car for fault codes.

ariesbull:
where is the fuel sender unit...

It is in your tank sir.

SpeedRacer:

Lower arm bolts wasn't tightened properly.

Good to know your car issue was resolved.
E don reach when we go dey collect tithe for cartalk. December la wa.

cyif2003:


Good day. Called a gear guy who came and removed d old gear oil and put Another one after cleaning d body nd filter….. coupled it back but it was still having issues. So he used some wires and connected to d gear on d engine and was tapping it on d battery head. This did d magic. My gear is back and by Gods Grace it will remain like this. Thanks all for d advice. I really appreciate

You're welcome sir.
Your transmission had one or several stuck solenoids in the valve body stuck.
Oya send your tithe.

SpeedRacer:
Good evening, I have a 2010 corolla when cruising on motion without power, ir I decide to accelerate aggressively suddenly, there's this knock I feel coming from the transmission.
Any ideas what it could be?

Could be anything.
Get a technician to check.

SpeedRacer:


Thank you I found the culprit

What was it?

nurey:
Yes one of the richest man in Nigeria. I had a business proposal to present for a small startup in agriculture.

I put my phone on the table and he saw the familiar NL layout at the end he said "though he doesn't buy into my business idea but it's nice to meet a fellow Nlander" he told me his moniker sha.

People dey NL if you are humble you will meet ur helper. Many big guns dey NL and nah dem "dey play pass" with very unserious character

No be lie.
Nairaland get people if you get something to offer.

Remote diagnosis would be difficult without a code.
Your best bet would be running a live data while symptoms are present to know what the issues are.

JustCryptos:


Nice, thanks.

Just to add to what was said, it comes with RWD (great for hauling) unlike the Sienna's FWD, and it's a mid-engine sleeper (if you get the supercharged variant).
It's an overall sturdier family hauler.
The major issue you might face here is sourcing for good parts cos of its age.

Dozieson:


I have check that the dipstick gauge ends in 2az/U250E of Camry 2009. I have been repairing my cars and those around me with just my little car knowledge. Don't know how long you have been a mechanic but just know that YouTube is doing a lot of good to those of us doing it ourselves including you a mechanic. Note that i am not a mechanic but i know more than so many Nigerian mechanics

That says it all then.
Just know there's a big difference between theoretical knowledge gotten from Google and YouTube, and on the field practical knowledge.
Peace.

sunnymighty:


Why not scan for error codes.

And what would be the scan codes?
That the car has one accessory powered on when car is not running?
Nairalanders don turn code readers to otumopo device.

Giftedness20:
I bought a 2010 highlander in July of 2021 from a friend in the USA. The problem has always been the battery that keeps draining when parked for like one week. Have changed battery like 3 times. I have also changed the alternator and still same problem stills shows up. What could be the fault.
Note :it has a tracker installed.

You have a parasitic draw as suggested above (could actually be caused by the tracker since battery drains out after 1 week). Get an electrician with a test lamp and multimeter to perform amperage draw test on every electrical component on the car.

Dozieson:


There is a dip stick for U760 Transmission
The way to check is also to get the car warm up for about 10mins before checking. I am not saying the car should moved

Coming from someone that does not know how to inspect a timing belt?
Stop spewing thrash online and giving wrong advice just because you Google things and watch YouTube videos.
That transmission does not have a conventional dip stick and good luck doing an oil level check above the required temperature range.

cyif2003:
Good morn. I called anoda gear person and explained all to him. He said it was a solvable issue. Dat he needs to recalibrate d gear manually and automatically. Dat he just hopes dat no damage has been done to d gear. Has anyone ever done this before?

The decision is yours to make.

cyif2003:
in Lagos ago palace way.

I'll be coming to cele axis on Wednesday and would scan it for free if you don't get any help before then.
Call 07089030689.

cyif2003:
don't no but he was meant to come back with anoda scanner. He said he needs to touch d valve and rescan. Although he didn't come back will look for anoda rewire to scan

Where is the car in question?
Lagos?

Onyeka90210:

You always have to do alignment after any work on the front legs

That's very wrong. You don't need an alignment after replacing wheel bearing.

reverendfather:
I went to replace the front bearings of my car today and now my car drifts to the leftside when driving. Plus I can feel the steering is a bit hard and also I can smell burning rubber coming from the front left tyre.

I had to leave it at the office and book bolt home, I was scared it could lead to something more dangerous

Get another technician to physically inspect the car.

cyif2003:
He said he will need to reprogram it and scan again for a particular code. But he didn't come with d machine.

You don't need to reprogram anything.
What kind of scanner did your guy used?

vivalavida:


Who do I approach to do that? Na mechanic and rewire I know.

Neither a mechanic or a rewire.
Meet people that sells speakers, they should direct you to people that fix.

Dozieson:


How did you know it didn't drop?
Best way to check is to warm the car and check if the oil is at the hot level of the dip stick

Where you wan see dip stick?
Besides, why would you even suggest he starts the car and allow it get warm for a transmission that's already showing signs of going dead?
Cyif2003, Chukel suggested you perform a transmission oil flush. That's your best bet, but now the problem go con be who get the right pump wey go help you flush the system properly.
As advised in a different thread, scan the transmission without starting the car (key in the ignition or push twice for the dashboard lights to come up if equipped with a push to start system). I'm expecting to see some solenoid codes.
Try addressing the code, drain the oil, take out the filter (it has to be done in a clean environment), refill the oil with original Toyota WS oil, perform an oil level check (good luck with that), then go for a test drive.

Judejibs:
the vsc came on when steering was loosened during allignment

If the spiral cable is still good, recalibrating the steering angle sensor should fix the light.

omotolsy:
Thank you.
But that is the question i have asked above.
I am asking for help on a referral where all that can be done.

Call 07089030689 for assistance

[quote author=walexy14 post=127123837][/quote]
Engine side could be from anywhere.
Your technician would have to take a look at it to ascertain where it's leaking from.
Or better still, take a pics of where it's leaking so the online community can suggest where to look at.

SpeedRacer:
Good evening, please i have an issue with 2010 corolla .
Theres a single clunk noise when coming to a halt, when accelerating and when turning sometimes, also when going over bumps or driving through rough roads.
Kazeem has checked , I to have checked because I'm very good at DIy but I'm unable to find any play in the suspension.
I'm considering getting a second opinion because I don't like driving with strange noises.

Inspect everything that has rubber bushings from your engine mounts, transmission mounts, arms, rack bushings etc, you'll find the culprit.

Judejibs:
Car gurus in the house Kindly help.
Corolla 2010 always throws up check engine. When scanned it says system too Lean bank 1. My mechanic has cleaned nozzle, replaced plugs. Still the fault persists. Car working fine, the fault clears on its own and returns on its own at intervals.
Also my steering was loosened for alignment and VSC keeps flashing won't go off I guess the steering angle sensor needs calibration. How can I reset it.

You'll need a live data reading to know what's causing the lean code.
Same applies to your VSC. Scan and take readings to know what's off.

Dozieson:


Just get a good mechanic. Always be there when repairs are ongoing. Watch what they are doing
