...and if it doesn't go off?

Run a scan, it may just be a simple connector ROM under the seat if the car has thorax SRS airbag or a more serious case ranging from flood salvaged car or a former accident which left an airbag exploded.

Phelicx:
Hello folks. Please I've been meaning to ask this question...

How can one determine whether the AIRBAG of a car is functioning or in good condition before purchasing the car?

Airbag scanning, and also observing if the SRS airbag light/symbol goes off some seconds after the engine is started

GAZZUZZ:
becoming very clumsy. From a little experience I have seen tracking device relays fail.

You are presently throwing parts at a problem(it works sometimes, but it is an expensive way of fixing a problem) Nothing will kill the engine ecu of a Prado 2012 unless there was a short circuit, water incursion, or high voltage. Let's assume the mechanic is right that it is the engine ecu, what guarantees do you have that the next one will not be fried on your way back to abuja? [s]it's also possible he has found the fault and wants to chop ya moni [/s]

Gbam! Na the subtle message I been wan pass sha

stitcheD:
White smoke like oil but the oil does not short. Have not been using coolant for some time

Blue smoke is engine oil, white smoke is coolant, black smoke is excessive fuel.

stitcheD:
My 2002 Toyota Tundra smokes when I start it, but thereafter stops. Guys please help out. My mechanic seems to have no idea.

What type of smoke does it produce?
Does your engine oil or coolant experience shortage?

frannyema:
She called to disable the tracker, the coy said the problem is not tracker because when u start the car, the light shows. The mechanic however have detected that it is the brain box and we have to change it. I just hope this works. What do u think.

I dont know what to think because i havent seen the vehicle and inspected/diagnosed it. I however feel the tacking device if wrongly manipulated can result in such, besides, ECU cant just get bad for no reason. There must be an underlying issue somewhere for an ECU to get bad.

frannyema:
The car has tracker.

Tell her not to allow anyone start removing parts in that csr. She should send the command to disable tracking system, them get back to me.

frannyema:
She is not a nairalander. But I will refer her to the link. The battery was not removed before the power problem started.

When the problem started, was it disconnected?

frannyema:
The car drove from Lagos to Abuja two days before she embarked on her journey to Kaduna. We cannot ascertain which work has been done by the mechanic but I feel they removed the battery. She bought it brand new last year. Please what is lemon? I appreciate ur assistance.

Since you assertrd they bought it brand new, no problem. Lemon car are cars with serious defects electrical, mechanical and otherwise. I was thinking it was a lemon or a flood/fire salvaged vehicle.

Did she install any tracking system or aftermarket security in the truck?

Trackers could be activated in such a way they disable a vehicle when they pass a speed or go out of a geo-fence.

Removal of battery is frowned upon. Most modern cars have a bevy of electronic components programed in them and removal of battery will reset them. Things like auto window activation, satnav, moonroof, driver memory system, even the ECU and throttle body of a vehicle. And every codes which was suppose to be retrieved in a faulty car may have been wiped out without retrieval.

I wish she was the one i was speaking to so as to ask her some questions on the reaction of the vehicle prior to and also within the gremlin attack.

Ksudr:
I want to travel to calabar for Unical screening and Im going from Kogi, Anyigba to he very precise, what is the Best route to take and how much total.

Board a bus that goes to Calabar. Ask of cross lines, Goshen or AKTC buses.
Wishing you success!

frannyema:
She towed it to a mechanic workshop and since then nothing has been detected. They have scanned it as well and nothing is found. Roadside mechanics didn't touch the car. I wish she can get Toyota company in Kaduna.

Was the truck worked upon before it embarked on the journey?
If yes, what work was done?
If no, was the battery removed, yes or no?
Is it a brand new truck she bought or a tokunbo, if it was a tokunbo, hope it wasn't a lemon?

I never enter plan before, tell them for US Embassy make dem give me visa na.. I wan experience wetin dey inside that thing

The Boeing 777 has a perfectly circular fuselage when cut into two Ron top to bottom and viewed thru, its got the biggest engine diameter ( two engines in total) of any modern boeing (that i know of) and its got 6 tyres per main landing gear and 12 tyres at the rear/main landing gears and a total of 14 tyres for all landing gears.

Compare the engine size with the man leaning on it

The Boeing 747 has the legendary 'hump' towards its forward end of the fuselage which qualifies it as a double decker aircraft.
Its got 16 main landing gears for the rear, 4 tyres per landing gear and two landing gear placed at offset to each sides led and right. In total its got 18 tyres.
Plus it's got 4 engines. :

Boeing 737 has a pod shaped engine which isn't properly round, its almost flat at one side of each engine, the rear landing gears have 2 tyres per side 4 total at the rear and a total of 6 landing gears.
The landing gears at the rear do not disappear fully into the underbelly of the aircraft but remains as a black circular colour under the aircraft.

My friend bought the land cruiser prado, 2012 sometime last year. She went out of town, about 300 km away, and the car lost the power without any warning on the freeway. The lights appeared on dashboard (likes Christmas tree) and sign for service. The car has been practically dead since then. It's 48 hours now. The mechanics has tried everything to power it but nothing works. Please house any possible suggestion on what to do. The mechanics had ran scan yet nothing was discovered, please gurus in the house,I need your help.

I have not changed anything in this car yet , just came back here they are washing my car now and it has been fixed already according to them. I googled about the code few days ago and found it is related to Evaluate canister but was shocked when they said it's injector servicing

Well, I asked some questions earlier on. Pls answer them

kingreign:
Evap emission leak..
Answer these questions,
Have you replaced fuel pump or opened the ASSY before?
Do you over fill your tank to the brim?
Do you use injector cleaner liquids and/or octane boosters?
Do you use a fuel tank cap that's not suitable for your vehicle?

blackfm:
I actually LOOOOVE this but I can't skate to save my life, not yet anyway. I don't subscribe to doing it on major road though, that's dangerous but again where is the fun if there's no danger I just respect myself and go to a skating rink at funderland mall ajah. Y'all should try it, you get to rent a pair of roller skates and skate indoors with AC and music and good tutors (just like in the movies)

The way this rubbish dey go, very soon one imbeçile go skate and enter under truck tyres and be crushed to death over his/her useless youthful exuberance.

gambus007:
Mike honestly i dont know why you hate peugeot cars.peugeot cars are good and reliable. My 307 is 2years now without single fault.i only changed 02 sensor downstream( 8,000 naira) serviced it 3times since i brought it.i drive her for 100km per day for 5 days every month before i left Nigeria. If you wer the one i meant before buying my 307 definitely you will discourage me..the same way kazeem castigated my intention two years ago.if you hate and castigate peugeot as a modern mechanic then i dont see you as good mechanic.no good ananlysis from you as a mechanic why peugeot is bad.

My oga howfa Na. It af tey o.

I recall when Lomomike was a Moderator in Cartalk section, there was a thread he created in autos section concerning the issues of car scams, he even went as far as listing some names, but the powers that be locked the thread and sent him a stern warning. This was the genesis of his fall out from being a moderator in Car talk.

Hi Niss part,
Last week I saw check engine soon on my Nissan 2008-2009, I went today to run diagnostic test at Jethro Auto Abj and found this code.
P.code: 0442 Evaporative Emission leak detected (small leak).
0455 Evaporative Emission system leak detected (large leak).
There service description said "Servicing of injector system.
Are they correct or just want o get 16k from me.
Your response will be appreciated

Im suspecting Fuel filter and pump, however, do a fuel pressure test to see if your fuel pump is producing enough pressure to keep the car in power.
