This message: EPB ACTIVATION STOPPED INCOMPLETELY - has popped up twice now when I start my car. My car turns on but this message will randomly appear. The parking symbol on the dash will be flashing. I will lift the EPB button and the message goes away. The first time it happened was on Saturday 10/10 and again today 10/14. Any idea why this is happening? TIA!

What did i just see?

4 Upvotes

Apologies i don't have a photo. I was penned in by luggage, seatbelt and tight clothing. I was in Istanbul and saw a vehicle with a Toyota badge. It was chunky, but had curves reminiscent of a lotus. Imagine if a Lotus had been a boxer, and had gotten slightly more stout in retirement. No longer in league with super- and hypercars but still worthy of respect. At least visually speaking.

Beautiful high fenders, battleship grey gloss paint. The attire of the fellow driving it makes me think it might be "affordable". Wife was closer to the decklid; reports a 2-or-three character model designation, beginning with large, stylized Q.

Anybody?

Intake Records

Purchased a '21 4runner one year ago from a dealer. Shark fin was taped on but didn't realize until recently. Sales manager said he hoped they still had the digital intake records with pictures to verify my claim.

How long do these usually stay on file?

Key fob battery issue

0 Upvotes

This isn't about my toyota but I have this common problem with toyota key fobs.

I replace the batteries in reasonably old models for people fairly often and a thing that happens is with the new battery the fob won't unlock the car. But if you put the old battery back in then it will work again (but not very well since the battery is almost flat).

I have a little reader so I can see that the fob itself is sending a signal, and it doesn't seem like it needs to be programmed or re-coded because the fob is still working with the old battery.

I have heard very anecdotally that it will start to work after driving around for a bit but I can't see anything on the internet to back this up.

I do like maybe 5 toyota fobs a week and this doesn't happen with all of them but maybe one in 5.

Any thoughts?

Toyota maintenance test

0 Upvotes

Has anyone taken a maintenance test for Toyota recently, the job title is skilled maintenance. I have a test in a week but all I know is it covers "electrical, pneumatics, hydraulics, machining, and mechanical drives"

I only have to pass 2 sections so long as 1 is electrical. And I know it's mainly practical / troubleshooting not just math.

Mainly looking for specific study resources that are accessible like YouTube series.

Seller just paid off their loan, says I have to wait 7.5-9.5 weeks for the title before I (buyer) can buy it.

Is there a quicker way I can get this transaction taken care of and buy their car? The title release is currently being processed but I don’t want to wait that long to get the car from the seller.

1 Upvotes

Just got a 2024 corolla hatchback SE after someone totaled my 2018 corolla iM 😢😢. Was wondering about getting luxry seats, like swapping the seats with camry xle seats or even getting some off an xle trim, same year and model. But ive heard even if you wire up the seats they wont actually work cause your computer wont know what to do with the inputs. Is there after market seats like that, that have a computer in them or work independently from the cars computer? If not then please send me to some websites that have good luxy esc seats please and thank you

The mechanic that "fixed it" said it was the sun roof and it was fixed, then a week later it started all over again. Please help. We can not drive it screaming bloody murder. It's a low, deep constant scream.

Hello

So the glass just popped out of my drivers side mirror yesterday. I am trying to go the route of just replacing the glass. Can I do this? however all of the tutorial videos I’ve watched on YouTube show that there are two additional connectors that should be attached to the two wires that look the same.( I know it’s confusing) please note that my car does not have heated mirrors, but it does have Blindspot monitoring. Can I just replace the mirror piece and be fine or do I have to go and get a whole new casing? Thanks for your help. Please see the photos attached bonus if you scroll all the way to the photos, you’ll see Sally who loves to ride in Toyotas.

I'm looking to buy a Corolla in the next couple of weeks - I'm looking at 2020 with 87k and a 2022 with 83k both SE.

around 17k OTD price for the 2020
around 19k OTD price for the 2022.

Any suggestions on which one you would go with? Or neither and look for something else?
Thank you!

Buying a new Corolla sedan, should i go for a 1.5l petrol engine or 1.8l hybrid?

0 Upvotes

Im thorn on weather its reasonable to shell out extra 25% for the hybrid engine, as far as i understand it, it has way fewer parts that wear out with time (hybrid battery being the main one). How does that stack up against the conventional petrol technology, in the long run is one or the other more expensive to maintain?

Few informations relevant to the question.

-I dont care about performace, reliability and durabiliy is my only priority.

-It would be mostly city, local commute car.

-Im doing around or under 10000km/year.

-Plan is to buy new and drive it "till the wheels fall off".

-Im from Serbia so im unshure about competency of service shops in regards to hybrid vehicles.

-1.5 goes for about 20k euros while hybrid is about 25k so it would take me good 10-15 years to recoup the cost trough gas savings.

Undercoating vs Regular Washing

1 Upvotes

Hi all - for those of you living in cold climates where they salt roads, what method do you use to keep your cars rust free? Do you undercoat your cars or just wash the undercarriage regularly? I have a crown signia so I understand it‘a mostly covered by plastic but wondering if it’s better to pay for an undercoating or regular washing is enough? Thanks!

Check Engine Light, 2022 Toyota Tacoma, TRD Sport.

0 Upvotes

Hello all,

I drive her every day ( 39,000 miles, ) and did not feel/hear any issues yesterday. Today, I start her up to head to work, and she pops a check engine light along with " ​A malfunction in the electronic control of the engine, throttle, or automatic transmission has been detected. " I did not drive her after this to be safe, but during idle everything sounds/feels normal.

The only mod I have is an Ecoflow power station charger, wherein the the positive lead connects to the positive terminal on the Truck's battery, the negative lead connects to the Truck's chassis as a ground.

I doubt it is battery related as I just upgraded the battery a year ago to a much better one with a high cold crank rating.

What do you think is causing this? Would it be under warranty, even with my Ecoflow mod? What should I do?

Making Toyota 2002 Camry Drivable

3 Upvotes

Hey all,

I have a pretty gnarly 2002 toyota camry that I need to make functional for gig work.

I was running "fine" until 36 hours ago and started having misfires/jolts/rough idling.
I replaced the 4 spark plugs with some NGK autozone replacements but still was getting the rough idling and joltiness of the vehicle. I also replaced the spark plug gasket as there was oil in the wells and on under the engine cover. I also swapped 1 & 2 ignition coils and 3 & 4.

Just a few days ago I was just getting a P0171 error code, however today before all the fixes I was getting:

P0100 (Mass air flow) sensor circuit malfunction P0110 (Intake air temperature sensor circuit malfunction) P0171 (System too lean, bank 1) P0303 (Cylinder 3 misfire) and after swapping the ignition coils around P0304 (Cylinder 4 misfire).

I then bought a durlast ignition coil because money is pretty tight right now, and installed it on cylinder 4 as that seemed like the newest code and because I didn't clear the codes previously seemed like the most probable cause.

However after chaning cylinder 4, the engine would crank, start and immediately die. However the fix I found was that I would have to apply gas for a few seconds and then immediately shift to reverse as the engine would fall back to 0 RPM and then I could reverse out of a parking spot and drive. However when I would park again it would die immediately.

The car has a bunch of issues but I need it to just earn some income doing delivery work as I finish up a few things and keep applying to other jobs.

What would be the best steps here without spending an arm and a leg?
