Good morning guys.
I'm happy to be on a forum as this.
Pls I just got an 09 Toyota Camry and the check engine light have been on.
Furthermore, the tachometer works of and on as well as the AC. I checked YouTube and saw that the culprit is the ABS module.
A friend and his mechanic told me not to touch it as it can spoil lots of things in the car.
This is my first car please is this problem fixable? Thanks in anticipation.

Deoboss:

asumo12:

adeeva06:

HazzanTazzan:
@gazzuzz. Will u advise I replace my museum turned Nissan Altima with this ?

I need something fair but I don't want wahala again like the wiring wahala that ended that Nissan...

I think that he is a harsh driver. Except for the very late models where Toyota has redesigned their engine rings, many Toyotas driven harshly and especially at high speeds will exhibit high oil consumption. It's not the oil's issue, it's Toyota's. People don't notice it because they hardly drive at top speeds.

I have personally noticed this with camry hybrid 2007, Sienna 2003, sienna 2005 and then other user's testimonies.

Information on this flaw can be found online and it's especially for the 2az engines.

On a camry hybrid I used both mobil 1 and total quartz 9000, they were dying up only when driven aggressively.

To add to this, oils mostly not labeled synthetic or synthetic blend are mineral oils.

ademoladeji:
What about Seatbelt?

bode4real:
@all gurus in d house,
pls i noticed dat my gear oil is now black, its a 2010 corolla, i planned to drain and replace with Toyota Ws. is it just drain stuff or something else to b done b4 d new gear oil will b added?

Gazzuzz pls help ur bro

obafemee80:
Timing belts are also quieter
@GAZZUZZ,Can you pls explain the reason sir?

The advantage of the timing belt over the timing chain is that if the timing belt fails, there is less potential for damage to valves and pistons.

princetom1:
So, this was once a standard bt no more, in essence, if GAZZUZZ had used it in an old model vehicle, it would had still performed within range. This is assuming GAZZUZZ used it in a newer model vehicle. Can GAZZUZZ confirm this? We need to know if here is still their dumpsite

my car recommends 550 grams of gas but when that was put in the compressor was working intermittently.
it will trip off and refuse to come back on until after a long time.
one day in annoyance I proceeded to bleed of the gas. halfway into the exercise I had a rethink and stopped. went out later that evening and turned on my fan to clear my windscreen a bit as it was raining and I was hit by cold air almost instantly. it was like magic. this had never happened to me in my Skoda before as I had a long standing Ac problem.
I guess this is what happened. The Ac system was overcharged because the new components I put in the Ac system (condenser and evaporator) had a much smaller volume than the oem that was replaced. this caused the compressor to work harder and trip off as soon as it was turned on.
I contacted my Ac tech and explained to him what I experienced and he proceeded to try it on other cars (especially volks as he is seem as a Skoda/volks Ac tech.) and it turned out most of the condemned compressors were actually still okay but were suffering from overcharging/overfilling. the guy doesn't have a high pressure gauge so can't even figure that out.
all is well now.
modified:
I bled off from the high pressure side though.

makarios911:
so i took delivery of two tyres from boss Tolu yesterday. had them fitted in today, and i'm mighty glad i did. Tolu is just too much. a v calm, soft spoken dude. A great salesman with genuine interest in customer satisfaction. All the wahala of transportation to bayelsa was worth it.

SmartchoicesNG:
Not an excuse!

chyke100:
No "commas" no "full stops" in ur comment, and ur grammar is wack!

Costee:

Gazzuzz see what you've caused.

chair I just taya

timifakay:
Would it be safe to assume the Toyota oil that bears neither synthetic, nor semi synthetic nor mineral badge is neither synthetic nor semi synthetic but mineral? (As this could be a situation where the truth is not being told without lying)
If I'm wrong, what is it?

autotrader2:
Kai, this is so hard to read. Chief, you are bigger than this line of argument. So it's no longer performance?

autotrader2:
I'm tempted to believe you, but really struggling with that. I remember you have made this same argument in the past, but then the reason was you stopped selling it because Toyota did not explicitly "say what is in the oil" ! Now the story has changed to "performance issues" . Which story should we run with?

Fact is this, there are no performance issues with the Genuine Toyota Motor Oil. Infact, users experience improved engine performance when they use it. That is the incontrovertible fact

autotrader2:
Chief Gazzuz, hope you don't mind me replying this

When you were selling the same Toyota Oil, was it safe then to run it for 5,000miles (7,500km)?

awiriwa:
What is possible here is you trying to downgrade and pigeon hole the Toyota Motor Oil, so I guess you can sell the stock of Mobil-1 and the not so great Castrol Oil that you have . Don't forget Mobil-1 makes the Toyota Oil too. They are very good oils

Pose your questions to Toyota or make a categorical statement

why so defensive? do you sell toyota oils?

we are trying to learn here. and you are the only one responding.

next question. If this oil is mineral, is it safe to run 5000 miles? (7500km)

awiriwa:
Let me try....as newer models are developed, Toyota/Lexus finds innovative way to redesign engines with a lot more tolerance for performance and fuel economy. The oils that power such engines are also subject to slight or extensive modifications from the previously available ones. Notice that 0w20 spec is used almost exclusively by the very latest models. There is a correlation between greater fuel efficiency and cost of the oil. Better still, go ask Toyota

You are a very sharp dude, I am convinced this information is known to you. The question is, why pose such questions that you already know the answer to?

nickxtra:
Okay. Only the transmission, sir?

awiriwa:
Great Question.... Unfortunately you're posting it on the wrong forum . If you don't have any sinister motive, then send the question(s) to or via:

https://www.toyota.com/support/contact-us

I am sure all your questions about Toyota and the oils can be provided there
