Manual Brainbox Installed In Automatic Transmission SUV. by 3kay945(m): 11:07pm On Oct 30, 2017 |
The vehicle is Rav4 ' 02. Bought naija used last year. I was told by a guy at Ladipo that I have manual brain box installed. I was Surprise cos I didnt believe such could be possible. But looking at the BrainBox housing, it clearly shows that it's has been tampered with. I will appreciate if gurus in the house help in determining if actually I have manual or automatic BrainBox. It's my first car and still a learner. Thanks in advance. PS. This the number on the BrainBox body 275000-2010 12V 89666-28021 Denso Toyota |

cardoctor: The temperature meter wasn't working then, the temperature switch was changed, dashboard was changed to no avail. Then the ladipo guy advised I use manual temperature meter cos the BrainBox is manual type. |

3kay945: Hmmm. You really need to avoid this Ladipo guy like monkey pox. Manual Temperature Meter? Where on earth does that exist? |

3kay945: your original engine ecu was thrown out because it was about to desroy your tranmsission. Sadly the Original ECU can be fixed in a couple of minutes. Presently you have a 2az engine ecu, car starts, but temp guage and AC controls do not function. Wires have been by passed to make it work. To solve your present issues. You will need. 1. Your original engine ecu 2. A new instrument cluster 3. Factory re-wiring on all present connections. It will cost you almost ~100k or more to get it done right. |

GAZZUZZ: Thanks Boss, I appreciate your response. The dude at ladipo did make the temp gauge work. Apart from the small problem usually cause by the bad road and water I swim With the car since May or June, the vehicle has been good. Inasmuch I didn't touch the A.C which normally drop the Car speed, all has been good. |

3kay945: it will remain at same point when engine is overheating. |
Re: Manual Brainbox Installed In Automatic Transmission SUV. by 3kay945(m): 11:52am On Oct 31, 2017 |
GAZZUZZ: Nope! Boss, it worked. Last week Friday the temp gauge rose unusually , I parked to check and discovered the fan wasn't running well as a result of partial contact of its wire. When I retape it firmly the fan run fast and the temp gauge returned to usual spot. I will be back to explain what he did or call manual temp |

@OP, your Rav4 is powered by the ECU of Toyota Estima (Previa). Due to the factory defect in the default ECU leading to its subsequent high demand, our brothers resorted to the modification of a similarly designed ECU. What you are experiencing now is one of its after effect. The only way out is taking the advice offered by Gazzuzz. |
Re: Manual Brainbox Installed In Automatic Transmission SUV. by 3kay945(m): 3:23am On Nov 01, 2017 |
OPUSDEI1: Wow! Toyota Previa ? Thanks for the info. Yes, will surely take boss advice next year. |
