odume10:hahahahahahah, THESE guys will never learn,ask yourselves this question, is Nigeria as HOT as Arizona?,Texas? cso thats where I bought my car and it came with a thermostat lol |

sniperwolf:Come out and talk nahh, we dey wait, ask your mechanic too what part of the USA he had been to and in your spare time Google the average temp for Arizona and compare it to Maiduguri |

Hello guys, I bought my car used in an exchange deal. The engine is quite sound. I don't really have fuel complaints. It takes about one tank to travel from abuja to awka. But I believe the thermostat has been removed and the fan also runs on the ACC stroke of the key. Having acquainted myself with all the concepts discussed on this thread, I'm quite humbled. And grateful too. I would want to replace the thermostat. Who knows the rating and cost of the unit for a 2000 Toyota camry? Also how can I return the fan to factory connection? |

Interesting Read. Guys pls my brother left this country and left his ride for me. So far I know the mechanic removed the coolant and the fans are always on. Pls I want to reset all these back to its factory settings. I need guidance on the thing to buy or how to go about it. PS I know nothing abt cars and am in southeast all mechanics here are quacks.

Cunnilingus:Two things you need to replace 1 buy a new thermostat 2 buy a new Engine temp sensore(this tells the ECU when to switch the fan on) The connect the wire back to factory default |

Cunnilingus: What ride are you talking about? |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by thebigkendo(m): 7:48pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
erico2k2: So cars us fan switch.. Which switches cooling fan on & off at set temperature.. No Signal from ECU |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by Cunnilingus(m): 8:12pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
thebigkendo:2000 Camry |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by Cunnilingus(m): 8:15pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
erico2k2:the car is a 2000 Toyota Camry. How abt coolant application |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by erico2k2(m): 8:40pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
thebigkendo:so what tells the switches when to be on or off? |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by erico2k2(m): 8:41pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
Cunnilingus:You need to fic them parts 1st b4 buying coolant! |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by autologic: 9:02pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
erico2k2:Thermoswitch under the radiator |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by erico2k2(m): 9:19pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
autologic:Thermostat do not have any switch, why do you guys assume? the Thermostat has no wiring attached to it so how does it cause a circut to open or close? Bross U fall my hand here |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by thebigkendo(m): 10:05pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
erico2k2:It's a temperature switch.. The terminals on the switch are continuous when Temperature is above setpoint & open when temperature is Below set point.. You can Google "temperature switch" Some manufacturers call it ECT switch.. Engine coolant temperature(ECT). While the other which I think you are talking about is ECT2 sensor.. |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by thebigkendo(m): 10:07pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
erico2k2: He said Thermoswitch not thermostat.. Na u come dey fall hand oh |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by erico2k2(m): 10:29pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
thebigkendo:I get that bit, questions for you Is this switch wired directly to the fan? Is it wired directly to the ECU? Does it set off a code is faulty? Last question what is the relationship btw waht we talking about now and P0128 fault code in this diagnostic? |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by thebigkendo(m): 10:33pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
erico2k2: No its not wired to ECU, wired to the fan directly.. sometimes via a relay. Most times Kazeems just push the pins together in order to keep the fan running continuously |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by erico2k2(m): 10:34pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
thebigkendo:so how does the code P0128 get triggered??(Camry Specific) |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by thebigkendo(m): 10:40pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
erico2k2: P0128 is set Via the ECT sensor on the engine block which is connected to the instrument cluster and ECU.. Most cars have ECT1 sensor & ECT2 sensor or ECT switch.. ECT2 or ECT switch is usually on the radiator while ECT1 is on the engine block NB we talking old camry.. Am sure modern camrys will use ECT2 sensor instead of ECT switch UPDATE: camry has 2 ECT switches and 1 ECT sensor |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by thebigkendo(m): 11:00pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
Cunnilingus: To return you fan controls to fan spec.. You have to 1st test the engine coolant switch.. Most times mechanic just push the terminal of the switch together so the cooling fan will run continuously. If the switch are okay.. Check for strange wiring around the cooling fan relays, also check for any wire flying from the relay box to the cooling fan connector |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by erico2k2(m): 11:01pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
thebigkendo:for the benefit of others reading this let us stick to Toyota camry plz,cos (BMW cooling fan would not work if wired directly this is the E46.) |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by erico2k2(m): 11:02pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
thebigkendo:if its using an electric fan, it would use same principle, the newer cars just have thier own circut a PCM NB, U do realize the fans have a LOW and a Hi |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by thebigkendo(m): 11:14pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
erico2k2: I know Peugeot fans do.. But I don't think 2000-2007 Hondas & Toyotas do..cooling fans basically come on full Blast & goes off..no low or high |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by erico2k2(m): 11:24pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
thebigkendo:NAh they do, still a Hi and Low, this was why I was saying its controled by the ECU vie that sensor, I had huge trouble with my BMW fan, I fixed it myself but it was a tricky one.I bought a complete fan stil nada.wired direct nada, this was how i found out the ECU reads from that coolant sensor and sends a hi or low signal to the fan circut.,same signals is sent to this fan when AC is on cos I have just one fan for radiator and condenser. In my case, the coolant do not get hot enough cos by then Im overheating lol due to leak from radiator. 1 Like |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by thebigkendo(m): 11:37pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
erico2k2: German and Japanese cars don't necessarily operate on the exact same principle.. Camry has 1 coolant temperature sensor and 2 coolant temperature switch... Temperature Switch controls the cooling fan via relays.. Honda accord 2003-2005 has 1 ECT sensor on the engine block and 1 ECT switch on the radiator base . ETC switch controls the cooling fan via Relays. Honda accord 2006-2007 has 2 ECT sensors(ECT1 & ECT2).. ECT1 is on the engine block while ECT2 on the radiator base.. The cooling fan is controlled by ECU via relays base on signal from ECT2 which is on the radiator base.. No low & Hi fan speed.. Fan comes on & goes off base on temperature Toyotas and Hondas have 2 separate fans for radiator & condenser.. When A/C compressor is on both fans come on, but without A/C only the radiator cooling fan shuffles on and off base base on temperature of the coolant in the radiator |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by erico2k2(m): 11:58pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
thebigkendo:Well might very well be, I have never owned a Japanis car,Im doing works on the BMW cooling system 2morrow as Im off work, I need change my trans heat xchanger Thermostat.weather been too cold to be out working, Im hoping its slightly warmer 2morrow, Im also going to change the whole under hose.I will post details on the BMW thread> |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by thebigkendo(m): 12:14am On Feb 19, 2018 |
erico2k2: Nice!! will be following, please post pictures. |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by erico2k2(m): 12:30am On Feb 19, 2018 |
thebigkendo:Sure thing, I will tag you |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by autologic: 12:56am On Feb 19, 2018 |
erico2k2:Thermoswitch(thermistor switch ) not thermostat |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by erico2k2(m): 1:24am On Feb 19, 2018 |
autologic:on 2000 toyota camry?? |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by autologic: 8:24am On Feb 19, 2018 |
erico2k2:Not only 5s fe variant of Camry also some 1Mz Fe variant as well (Avalon, sienna etc) |
Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by autologic: 8:50am On Feb 19, 2018 |
erico2k2:The ecu has a pre programmed set time taken for the car to achieve optimum temperature and the ecu will trigger P0128 if the set time is taken too long than the required threshold. eg if the nominal time required to achieve optimum temperature is 10 minute but the time taken is more than 10 minute ,P0128 will be triggered. |
