Hello Kingreign

I got these two errors after scanning my car (Toyota corolla 2009)

P0037
P2238

What do I need to change?

Also, wherever I'm driving, I sometimes smell exhaust fume while the AC is on.

What could be the cause?

For the codes above, replace the A/F sensor you should be fine.

As for the smell of the chaise fumes, check if the boot closes properly and the weather strip rubber seals properly.

WycliffeSMB:
Okay.
Would a vehicle scan detect the issues?

It should.

WycliffeSMB:
Okay Sir.
But how can this be resolved?

Herein lies your answer

I think it would be best to identify the Original fault and CHANGE any component that needs a replacement instead of a bypass.

What could be the cause of the failure for the car to start from inside but worked when he attached a wire to the starter and battery terminal?

I don’t know what caused the fault, as I have no access to the car to diagnose it.

[quote author=WycliffeSMB post=117951303][/quote]He bypassed some wires. This is quite dangerous as it could cause other damages and even electrical fires. Please call him to rectify the issue as it ought to be.

Good morning,
pls what is the cause of ABS, VTM-4, VSA, and Triangle icon lights ON: honda pilot 2007

It could be a simple wheel speed sensor or a wheel hub or even an ABS module. Do scan to fish out the culprit then fix.
If you’re in Abuja, do call 07034581213

Good evening everyone, this is not a repair or fault issue.

I want to sell my HONDA CRV 2008, relocation soon. But the issue is, just recently, the AC evaporator started leaking so the AC chills on one side, the alternator doesn't charge well, the engine too started making one funny noise, all together this past month o. the mechanic said its oil pump, gave him almost 100k to fix it, but two weeks down, the noise has started creeping back, took it back to him. It came back with a weird sound. To make matter worse, my lil brother has spoilt the key hole outside the driver side.

Basically, I am extremely busy with Japa plans and do not have any time to fix anything or argue with a mechanic. So I want to sell it off as it is, I also need money ASAP. Are there people/places where they sell cars in the conditions mentioned above? I puut it up on Jiji but nothing substantial so far. Willing to sell below 2m so the buyer can fix whatever, since CRVs go for over 2m currently.

Please point in the right direction. You can also send a DM if you're interested. Thanks

Without picture or videos showing the current overall state of the car, how would anyone appraise the car’s worth?

Drazman:
My camry 05 battery runs down so fast. Turn off the engine for like say 10 minutes with maybe a door open, it won't start again. Who I bought the car from said the battery was purchased recently. I have serviced the kick, yet same issue. The alternator charges the battery well. I am just tired.
What could be the cause please?

Check with a battery charge tester if the battery holds charge or not before you start touching the car’s electrical system

Originakalokalo:
Good morning everyone.

Special thanks to those who provide help here.

Presently, my exhaust was worked on and a day after I got P0401 error code. The car is Honda Accord 2007.

The error code points at EGR.

1. Can I travel with this and fix it when I return? How serious is this?

2. What are the things to check before replacing the component?

Please kindly respond. Thank you.

Others.

You did not specify if it was a v6 or an i4 but from the code, your EGR has a restriction on the passage. Clean out the carbon built up in the EGR and the passage. If you have done this and it still doesn’t work, check your exhaust if it was blocked and if it’s not blocked, replace EGR.

Toyota Corolla 2009.

The recommended coolant is Toyota corolla super long life coolant.

It's too pricey and hard to get.

That's why I'm asking if there's a cheaper alternative I can use like Total Coolant

Your car is an OAT type, go for the genuine or any other recommended type I posted there. Mannol or Prestone. They don’t come cheap but get the work done.

I don’t know of any cheaper alternative and I won’t advice for water or some random computed fluids of questionable quality.

Where can I get Opel zafira hub? Only the hub not complete wheel.

Where is your location?

alaricsaltzman:
Hello Kingreign, which coolant do you suggest besides Toyota Super Long Life Coolant?

You did not indicate the type of coolant recommended for your car or the year of your car.
Prestone coolant, Mannol coolant

There are basically 4 types of coolants for cars:

#1 - IAT (Inorganic Acid Technology)
#2 – OAT (Organic Acid Technology)
#3 – HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology)
#4 – Dex-Cool.

Nice paint job tho .. ruined it with all those cheap trinkets

Wetin nice about that rubbish paint job?

vivalavida:
What is the difference between an AF sensor and an O2 sensor?
Thought they mean the same thing?
Excuse my ignorance and teach me.

A/F sensor aka Wide Band oxygen sensor aka Heated oxygen sensor aka Upstream O2 sensor has a heating element inside it, and it’s primary function is to monitor the flow of burnt gases flowing from the exhaust manifold and also use this info to monitor and relate to the ECU to adjust the air and fuel stoichometry as needed. It is placed usually before a catalytic converter just aft of the exhaust manifold outlet of the engine.

O2 sensor aka narrow band O2 sensor aka downstream sensor primarily monitors NOx and SOx and other harmful gases coming out and also tells if the catalytic converter is doing it’s job or not. It’s placed after a catalytic converter most times.

I'm laughing because you have to beg people to listen

That’s humans for you. Some of us humans are wired in a way to automatically doubt and not easily believe. Not easy doing the Lord’s work but hey, we’ll do it to put smiles on peoples faces and bring succor back to peoples hearts.

radautoworks:
I was wondering how long it would take you to start a thread

I really had to muster and summon all the courage in me to do this thread and even when I did start, some mischief makers started making some randomly foolish comment which nearly caused me to abandon it. It’s not easy being a nice person in these trying times. I kid you not!

What code are you trying to solve?
The 36531-RNA-A01 which is from your car is an AF sensor while the one you bought is an O2 sensor and do not carry out their operations in any similar way.

Greatmatty:

In reference this, I got a 02 sensor with part no 36532-RNA-A01 as against car's no 36531-RNA-A01. Difference is 1 & 2. Would it matter on the fuel trim?

What car and year is this pls and what engine is in the car pls?

Emmyrano55:
Good day, please i am using a Nissan maxima 2000 model. Recently i changed the engine but after final installation, i discovered that my car idle is very rough and at some point the car will accelerate itself then return back to normal. That is how the car kept doing, the last mechanic that came did all he could do and even serviced the 6 nozzles still no positive response. Later the mechanic asked me to replace the injector head, right now am confused so i just packed the car in front of my house. Please i need help on how it can be resolved, thank you.

Your technician should get a scanner and scan that car. Then post codes here. I just hope they haven’t breached wires and it affected the ECM

Bros Wike is doing all this cos of his hatred for Atiku....Even if u remove d Charmain,he will not still be satisfied...Think of it,with all d abuse and insults fro Wike to Atiku,u don hear Atiku insult Wike Atiku has much respect for him but it's like Wike is hell bent on frustrating him

Did atiku and other PDP members honour a simple gentleman agreement?
I’m not a pro-pdp person, I am not a politically inclined person, but I know God is using this to destabilize PDP for their 16years of misdeeds while he raise someone else to do his bidding of continually punishing Nigerians for the years of wickedness and non-accountability.

Curious345:
Wike is a spoilt child

Wike isn’t a spoilt child!

The PDP should give honour to him and also should honour their agreements.
We all know he is losing relevance and he knows this too, but should PDP and Atiku fail to recognize him, they can as well kiss Rivers State goodbye.

teeytimi:
please I need help on my Honda eod on.

The car will be vibrating once you put it in gear and hold brake the vibration increases when you now on AC, it only stops when you move. I.e, when its on motion its works fine but immediately you slow down and hold brake it starts vibrating seriously.

What could be the problem.

In addition, the car does not vibrate at all when on reverse either the AC is on or not

Check your engine and transmission mounts.
Also, if your tachometer reads extremely low, due to any reason, it may exhibit similar symptoms.

Hi Kingreign,

I use a Camry 2010 model, I noticed recently that after parking it for a while maybe 1 or 2 days, It would not start. It did not start today after parking it for 4 days.

Once I switch on the ignition, the lights on the dashboard would show but while trying to start it I hear this cracking sound which comes from the engine/gear section upon listening closely and not from the battery.

Surprisingly, this is not a case of battery issue to me cos the battery in it is still charged but once I use another battery to jumpstart the car it comes up immediately.

The battery I removed from it (my Camry 2010), the moment I put it in another car it starts immediately as well.

Although a gear conversion was done from 22pin to 10 pin gear 11 months ago, All functionality works well with no issue including the gear and I cover a long distance of about 2 hours daily.

To save myself of the stress of changing batteries to jumpstart these days, I always remove the battery head once I am parking it for hours and put it back once I am to leave and this works well but I know this process is not suitable on long term purpose.

NOTE: A complete diagnosis has been done and nothing was seen. The plugs, alternator, air and fuel filter/injector are all in good condition and I do regular servicing of the car. It also has both security and GPS Tracker installed in it which I don't think could be the cause.

I called the man who helped replaced the gear this morning and explained the issue I am facing to him, he said it is the car hertz wire, probably their is a partial or incomplete contact, and he said it needs to be loosen and thoroughly cleaned or replaced if possible.

Please, from experience what could be wrong?

Thanks and I await your feedback

I don’t have an idea what’s wrong with the car but I’d advice you have a competent car electrician check and isolate then fix that issue.
