Thanks for the reply. Went on many car forums online, and it seems it a very common problem with the 2007-2009 Toyota Camry ABS module (not the whole pump). Symptoms is exactly how I described it; no/or intermittent tachometer, no speedometer, no temp gauge, no AC. Now the problem is fixing the module(as it is fixable). How much do you rekon a used one will be(make I no near new one yet)?? Thanks for your time once again.

Oh alright that's a good one.
You're one step closer to the solution.
I am not sure about "fixing" the faulty module. Na to replace sure pass. Also when replacing since it is a common problem Toyota might have released a TSB giving information on the part number of the updated pump. Kindly ensure you get an updated one.
Finally at the moment I don't know how much a replacement pump will cost.

Hello bro, pls I need your advice on something. I have a Toyota Camry 2007. My abs and brake light suddenly came on and my temperature guage, tachometer, speedometer and some other things too don't work. My ac too isn't working. I have tried scanning the abs module for fault codes but it's not even communicating with the scanner. Do I have to change the entire abs system.
When you tried to turn the ignition off and on, was there any difference?
When did the lights come on? While you ere driving or when parked?
While scanning what other modules apart from the ABS can you communicate with?

Now, if the ABS was down, you should have your temperature gauge and tachometer working because those ones get their signals from the engine control unit.

But in this case it seems like everything shut down. So I highly doubt the ABS being the problem here.
Check your fuses and relays first.

Good evening sir. They just discovered this evening that the chain rail damper, according to dem is bad. The adjuster mouth is always sliding off the damper because the plastic fence like stuff on the damper, that is meant to hold the adjuster mouth hostage is broken. I hope this solves the issue. Will check dem tomorrow

hopefully it should.
i just hope they dont keep making you spend money sha without fixing the problem

Good morning sir, the timing has been set twice and it has jumped. They first changed the timing chain adjuster, it jumped timing. The guy had to loosen the side of the engine. To look at it. After everything he said it was ok. After driving it, it has jumped timing. It was scanned and has the previous
P0016
And a new code
P0011 camshaft position timing over advanced or system performance bank 1

Has he considered changing the timing chain?
There is definitely something causing the chain to jump constantly.
Until that is resolved, that code will keep coming back and you will experience low engine performance.

I am in portharcourt. The car jumped timing very well. And the timing chain is very loose on the cam shaft. The mechanic says there is an adjuster that makes the timing chain firm, that it is spoilt. So hopefully tomoro when he is done, car should be fine

OK THAT'S GOOD. BUT HOW ABOUT THE MAF FAULTS?
THE TIMING RESET WILL SURELY HELP IMPROVE ENGINE PERFORMANCE HOWEVER THE MAF CODES WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A VERY HIGH FUEL CONSUMPTION.
KINDLY CONSIDER FIXING IT. IF NOT NOW LATER.

BEST REGARDS

Good evening sir. Please i bought this Toyota Camry 2007 4 plug engine. to use for bolt. But i am not enjoying the car. This car does not drive well at all. It misfires and acts like it is been forced to move. After scanning it brought this code
P0016 crank cam position correlation
P0102 mass air flow circuit low
P0101 mass airflow sensor circuit range/performance
P0116 engine coolant temperature circuit range/ performance problem
P0113 intake air temperature circuit high input
P0172 system too rich

I recently bought the Bluetooth scanner I will attach some pictures. I don’t know if it will be of help.

there's alot of faults especially electrical that are definitely affecting the engine performance.
secondly due to waer and tear you might be experiencing low engine performance however to enjoy the car, you will need to fix the issues noted on the scan result.
there is a possibility the same electrical fault is the cause of the MAF codes and Air temperature code.
P0016 crank cam position correlation - this code is timing related. stretched chain, faulty VVT, faulty CAM/CRANK position sensor or wiring faults can trigger this fault. I also suspect that engine is old and possibly abused.

P0102 mass air flow circuit low
P0101 mass airflow sensor circuit range/performance
P0113 intake air temperature circuit high input
the above 3 codes are possibly related. you need a competent electrical expert to help diagnose and repair the faults
P0116 engine coolant temperature circuit range/ performance problem


P0172 system too rich this might be as a result of the MAF codes.
where is your location?

It later came on it self and later it all went off not showing anything even the red light I complained about was not showing so my rewire checked all the fuse and everything thing intact but when he slap the instrument tray all the light came up so just like you said, he also suggested either the instrument tray panel is faulty or a wire having partial contact inside the dash but I've been slapping sense back into it's head anytime it's fumbling for now till I'm ready for proper fixing

Thank you so much for the concern.
appreciate the update. I have seen quite a number of that same issue. Usually it's the cluster going dead. Just plan towards replacement.

Good afternoon op pls my Honda Civic 06 instrument tray is showing this red spot light, that has refused to go back to normal for 2 days now like it used to do once in a while. Pls I need advice on what to do to get this issue fix permanently I'll attack the picture to this post cos where it comes on like this the fuel and temp gauge does not display and I'm really not comfortable with this . Thanks.

@AutoMoTech

Chief have you gotten this fixed? Curious to know what the problem was
Car Talk / Re: REMOTE FAULT ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS GUIDE By AutoMoTech by AutoMoTech(m): 6:00pm On Sep 26, 2022
Possibly an electrical fault
Does this happen even with the Hazard switch off?
Try this.
Ensure all fuses and relays are sitting properly.
Esp the Hazard light relay.
If possible swap it with an identical relay. And see what happens.

Good day Car Gurus...pls what could be the cause of this...
whenever I enter into a small gallop while driving, my left or right trafficator will automatically switch itself on and after few seconds,.it will off by itself without being touched..

This thread is why you need to be careful the people you listened to.
On the other thread alot of people already condemned the engine even those we call professionals.
Las las what Trygo said gave a direction ti possible faults. And now the car is fixed by a competent tech who is not even on NL.

Congratulations at OP.
Super happy you got it fixed against all the evil talks of some people on this blog.

All those plastic bits are weight reduction measures ..
It makes the car lighter so as it could go faster ..
Correct. A car's weight has to be just right.
Heavy enough to get a good balance. Light enough to be pulled by the engine.
So whether it is heavier than toyota or Honda doesn't matter. BMW no dey do motor for Japs they make them for the drivers.

Also when it goes off does start again immediately or it takes some time?
When it is goes off do all the lights on the dash light up or you notice some are off?

just live with it, engine is expensive oil is cheap, change your oil every 3k miles, infact according to most car manufacturers, 1qt oil burn per 1k miles is normal, pretty weird but na so we see am.

So bro live with it
Baba this one high ooo... I no sure say e reach like that sha. But you're correct. Some manufacturers will state expected oil consumption over certain distance.
Differs from engine to engine, driving conditions also matter (high rev/high way drive or city driving)

Good day guys

Please what can make my lexu es 300 ac sometime it will freeze next thing it's not freezing again it will be bringing out smoke like vapour
Restriction along the AC lines
AC components like the evaporator, expansion valve, hoses can cause it.
Also lack of suffecient airflow through the Evaporator can make it freeze.

I am one who always preaches scanning before carrying out any fix.
But having worked on similar issues before, all the ones I fixed never came up with any code related to the issue.
@OP your problem is most likely electrical.
Problem area is usually around your fuse box, wiring or electrical components (fuses and relays).
Check all the fuses, clean them. First.
Also check your relays. Replace the main relays and fuses. If symptoms persist, you will need a competent auto electrician to help you diagnose the issue.

It's the anti theft light but came up and was not blinking for few days and my fuel and temperature gauge area was blank it was the light alone that was showing and the engine is running fine... But it's working now I don't know why it does that sometimes.

Possibly your instrument cluster is gradually bowing out and might need to be replaced.
