Please what is the cause of my Toyota Avalon showing headlight levelling signal and vehicle stability signal (VSC) on my dash board anytime the ignition is ON?

Pls kindy clarify so we can properly assist you.
Is it only when ignition is on or when the engine is running?
Because when the ignition is on, all the lights normally should come on as a Diagnostic feature.
However if the light stays on while the engine is running then we know there is a problem.

My Honda civic 8generation delays to engage revers sometimes, it takes longer till I turn of engine and on again some tines it takes seconds sometimes it will engage normal, but the drive selects and drive well, transmission fluid guaged very well and I am using the recommended Dw1 what could be the problem

It actually stays ON when engine is running.

To know what the problem is you need to carry out a scan sir.
That way the error codes stored in addition to proper Diagnosis will help point in the right direction.
Pls scan all modules and post codes here for further assistance

The ECU also controls the transmission. I believe there is possibly an error code stored for that shift solenoid.
Kindly scan your transmission and let's see wat problems error code is stored.

If you can get a capable scanner not all those bluetooth scanner o. So you can scan all the modules.

Bros sorry for late reply. Most of these codes are electrical.
However to be sure you need to diagnose the issue to narrow them down.

it could be engine oil or transmission oil mixing with water.

Pls kindly ask the person what water converter is

One thing is sure. Its either your engine oil or your gear oil is mixing.
You need to find out which is which.
Also try locate the oil cooler. Its a shinny part on the gear designed to cool the oil with coolant. I know they usually fail many times. Common to VWs. It might be the cause of your problem

AutoMoTech:

Pls kindly ask the person what water converter is

that device where the oil filter is attached? to which is connected 2 rubber pipes that transmit water.

Thats most likely the oil cooler. Its the samr thing we're talking about.
Most likely the faulty part

THE PART HAS BEEN REPLACED SIR. THE SLUDGE HAS STOPPED APPEARING IN THE RESERVOIR, THOUGH THE WATER IS STILL OILY. I WAS TOLD TO FLUSH THE RADIATOR AFTERWARDS TO CORRECT THAT. THANKS SO MUC FOR YOUR INSIGHT

You are welcome.
Ofcourse you are supposed to flush the radiator properly and also change the oil that was mixing with the water.
This is to avoid further damage to the part it lubricates.
Discuss with your Mechanic and pls ensure he uses original oil ooo...

good afternoon chief. what happened to the vehicle initially?

AutoMoTech:

good afternoon chief. what happened to the vehicle initially?

The engine is smoking and killing spark plugs. This has affected the condition of the car and now consumes fuel a lot. The previous mech grooved the piston and used a Toyota ring without my knowledge as this made the cars performance worse. The new mech suggested I either change the engine or get another fairly used block and pistons.
Asides this I wish to restore the engine back to its original state with thermostat and every things work perfectly.
Thanks for your time
