Good morning boss my Camry 09 back light doesn’t come on, if I apply brake none of the light comes on but at night if I put the full headlight on the right side of the back and parking light comes on. Took it to mechanic (rewire) he check and said my back light led is dead I should buy a new back light!

Please boss any advise ?

There are 3 brake indicators on your vehicle , left right and center(rear windshield) they all cannot be bad at same time. Pls seek a 2nd opinion .


My suggestion is a brake switch, but I might be wrong since your vehicle is able to shift from park to drive (might have been bypassed)

Thank you Sir for the prompt response.

Was at the shop for that and they were brandishing 225/60 R16. Fixed the 215/65/16 and it looks/feels good.

Best wishes.

Help !!!!

Simply put, you've got O2 sensor problems, EVAP problem, TCM(Transaxle control Module) problem, ignition wahala and extreme low RPM issues.
My question is, how on earth does a vehicle end up with all these issues all at the same time. It's a miracle if the vehicle takes you from point A to B. Wow!!!!!

After scanning the abs it displays no ABS DTC's are presently stored on the vehicle's computer.

Thank you

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by eagleeye2: 2:01pm On Jul 11, 2021
Uncle GAZZUZZ � and other elders in the house I greet you ohh.
Please between a new Radiator and a 'direct' Belgium (Tokunbo) radiator which should I go for.
Also my car keeps throwing up the P0171 code and I am thinking of changing the fuel filter (the engine one), because it often loses power and goes off when it stays long in the traffic and the oil light keeps blinking.
Thank you as I wait for your advice.
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by abootoyyib(m): 4:32pm On Jul 11, 2021
Good afternoon.

Alright let's get to it .

First code P0031 TOYOTA Oxygen Sensor Heater Control Circuit Low Bank 1 Sensor 1

Your O2 sensor bank1 sensor 1 us bad. You will need to replace the one at the top. It will contribute to higher than expected fuel economy .

Inability to start on first crank , check fuel pump assy for inability to hold fuel pressure .

Watch video.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIm1j5LZYOM


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya_GngCX1Ds


Rpm values seem almost normal , 900 is rather high, a history of manual adjustments to throttle body or throttle pedal could cause abnormal readings like this , also air intake leaks could cause same.

Finally the big one.

P0500, I was really hoping it was an abs related code but it is not.

What you have is a slipping transmission. Start be draining your transmission oil and outing fresh oil (Toyota TIV) and hope for the best.
