Good morning car gurus,

I scanned my Toyota Corolla 2010 about two weeks ago ago after the engine light came up and the following codes came up.
1) P0138
2) P0607
The codes were cleared but they came back after about a week.

Please what steps should I take to resolve the situation.

Thanks

the oxygen sensor could have shorted out on the exhaust system or the wiring from the battery to the sensor has a short or break in it.

Check the oxygen sensor and see if the wiring is plugged in and if there is any broken wires at or near the sensor..

Check all those things out.. And do not let any mechanic bypass those sensors. And do not let any mechanic retape any sensor wire..

Those sensors at times are worn out and need total replacement .... Either way try those things and if nothing works buzz me up .. I will see if I can import brand new sensors from the USA .. I will be loading in the next 2 weeks.....

And funny enough I imported a 2010 model sport about 2 years ago( pics below) .. They are really nice cars and easy to maintain .. Use the correct fluid and the car will serve you for many years to come

Having issue with my Kia Sorento EX 2005 model, for about 3weeks now. I don't know if anyone can help here.
The problem is once I start the car and drive it for like 2 or 3 kilometers, then it won't accelerate again and it will be making sound like 'pup pup pup' I have to wait till it cold before it can move again and once it hot the same thing will start.

Along the line, we have changed the crane saft sensor, changed the fuel pump, [s]changed nosstle and plug. Changed the coil[/s]. The problem still there. Pls help.

Oga Gazzuzz, I got issues with my kia rio 2009 sedan..not hatchback...
At First, it couldn't go up hill. it would move well on leveled surfaces but it won't go uphill especially from a stop. I went to various mechanics they couldn't pin point the actually issue...one said it could be fuel pump..another said to change spark plugs and clean the nozzle and fuel injector..another said timing was off..they all tried but It still didn't stop.
They later said it's a wiring issue that it's a rewire job. Rewire change fuel pump and ignition coil. After that one finished car moved very well but reverse gear didn't work and it makes on clanking sound when it's idling...but once you rev the engine the sounds stops. Rewire said that wasn't his jurisdiction that na mechanic work but that was the last straw for me...I change am for rewire...carry my car comot and haven't taken it anywhere since then

Good morning car gurus,

My RX350 has been having issues. Steering has been stiff while turning, steering rack has been changed, but the issue still somehow exists. The engine also misfires, check engine light is on. So i decided to scan it. I have a small ELM 327 device. This is the result. I looked up the solutions and honestly, i still have some issues.

Sir, what do you advice?

ReformerD:
P0014 definition: Exhaust Camshaft Timing- Over-Advanced Bank 1

Please , how severe is this code ?

The Rewire said its nothing much to worried about as long as i can ignore the check engine light

This is a Kia, looks like a timing chain.

The exhaust cam actuator has failed.

Good observation sir.
However, you could have given OP the option of getting a new sensor locally instead of waiting 2 weeks for you to load and wait for your container to berth and clear.

My brother getting parts in the market now is a 50/50 chance..... It will be better for him to wait and get it from the USA.. It will help him to save money in the long run .... The increase on duties has made things unreliable to get good parts ..... And I never advice to get use sensors

But you ship in used cars?

Where do used sensors come from?

Well when it comes to things like sensors . I will advice brand new ones .

Early this year I shipped 2 a/c compressor for my customers.

But this is my advice and it is up to the customer to decide


Ps. I will loading up a tokunbo Sienna soon 2008 model.... If u have any customers needing 1 let me know ..

GAZZUZZ:


I ship in more original stuff sir, OEM Toyota parts when needed.

Example 2012 Toyota Sienna

Well on another note:

I was expecting you to talk more on the new increase on duty ...... To clear any car now from 2005 upwards u will pay at least 1m .......

Many car dealers will be out of business .. Car business is already dead , but with new duty that government has enforced just buried it.......


Curious to see how dealers will survive.... I might be closing shop soon

Have you always had those codes since you got the car?
Is your catalyst still intact or removed?
Need answers on the above to guide you further.

Whenwhile check the code you typed. Is it P0420 you meant or P0128
