Read my comment again I wrote . If you were in America your module could be wiped and cleared of the crash codes.
I never said it can only be done in the usa.
Lots of road side technicians in america posts their adverts on ebay to clear crash data for only $40 and yes it's not rocket science.

You have to be careful with the way you read and understand people's Grammer and also your use of English.
.
Not all airbag codes can be cleared with wire like honda/acura . Or some cars that requires cheap tool's.
Kindly speak for the cars you repair. Don't use general words.
Good luck.
Where have I said all airbag module crash data can be wiped out on all cars. I think you are the one generalising here. If I may ask how many technician have you met in lagos or in Nigeria that made you confident to ask how many technician can clear crash data on airbag module. For your piece of info not every one has time to start showing off tools like this. So next time be careful on how you generalise.

Nobody is claiming it's rocket science.
Neither did I say it can only be done in the USA.
Restoring of cars to mint condition is more common in the states. And they make sure there are no warning lights on their rebuilt car.
That's why there are services that wipe this modules . With about $40 you're good to go.

Now tell me how many dealers or technician's in this lagos can wipe a srs module.
How many Nigerians care about the airbag light on their dash . After replacing the airbag.?

Before you do over sabi.
Think !
I didn't expect less. grin. Your last paragraph makes me laugh. Don't use America like it's a kingdom. There are road sides there sir. No need for the hard feelings I only enlightened you that it has been done here in Naija. Have done it before now which is no biggie. With the right equipment any sound engineer can do that. I only became worried when you said " if you were in USA the crash data can only be cleared there. cry

How much did you purchase the airbags each and the module.?

If you were in America your module could be wiped and cleared of the crash codes.
Can that only be done in America. Don't make it look like it's a rocket science. There are absolutely two ways to go about it
Car Talk › Re: Speedometer Reset by mayor2013: 4:26pm On Nov 23, 2017
ZIMDRILL:
speedometer measures speed when you are driving

then odometer measures distance travelled by a car, you can reset it to zero as zero only applies to car coming out of the production line only

you can use a trip computer to do the doing down (aslong now reset it)


then you can still use the odometer with current figures eg 100000miles on the clock and your oil service is due every 5000miles so when you mileage shows 105000miles then your oil is due for change
Guess he is talking about his Trip i.e Trip A to monitor his next engine oil change. @ "op" there is a thin like knob right in front of your instrument cluster. Press it and it xhanges to trip a when on trip a hold it down to change to zero

No work done. It was working perfectly before I removed the battery.
Was your airbag light illuminated before now
Car Talk › Re: Steering Control Buttons Not Responding After Battery Disconnection by mayor2013: 9:09pm On Nov 22, 2017
Check for a blown fuse. If all is fine you just might be having an issue with your steering angle sensor. Any prior work done before disconnecting the battery

Hello people,
Please where can i buy original spark plug, specifically DENSO SK20R11 or NGK IFR6A11.
I am also in need of fuel pump.
I normally buy from Amazon and ship with mallforafrica, but the last item took them over 3 weeks to deliver and they charged too much for a small item.
Call multiautolab on 08165520837 or 08156087872.we have them available in store

Still following with keen interest. Recently worked on a flooded Honda Accord 2008. It's not been a nice one. Steering column all rust. Instrument cluster not powering up the normal. Current was looped from another source to power up the instrument cluster. Engine harness and dash board harness would be changed. cry. Harness are very expensive

Car Talk › Re: Auto Tranny Issue - Honda Accord 2007 by mayor2013: 4:54pm On Nov 11, 2017
jidabod:
Dear Auto Experts/Gurus,

The subject car gear changes abruptly from 2 to 4 whenever on the road for a longer period of time and I have to accelerate well inorder

to make it up a slope else the car will be stuck on gear 2 trying to engage 3 in failed attempts.

Throttle does not engage after a long driving period also.

My workplace auto guy said its the gear "fibre" while another "Kazeem" said it the gear switch.

Kindly enlighten me on the possible cause of the gear issue and possible fix.

I would have gone for replacement but I have a whole lot on my table at the moment so a fix is all i'm hoping for.

My location is Lagos, Ipaja.
Carry out a proper diagnosis. Multiautolab is closer to you

Car Talk › Re: 2016 Toyota Avalon Flooded, (non Starter) Needs Repair. Solved page 5 by mayor2013: 10:01am On Nov 08, 2017
GAZZUZZ:
a flooded 2003 toyota camry or corrola has 3 modules/ECU.

1. Engine/transsmission ecu
2. Airbag ECU
3. (not all cases) ABS module.
4. (not in all cases) Immobilizer
5. A/C module.



To make this examples start, worst case replace engine ecu and imobilizer.

Its not a 1 size fits all.

For a 2017 avalon I do not have specifics on the number of electrical ecus/moduls vehicle is equiped with, but they are a lot. Car will definately start after replacing the right parts.

For flooded cars, the water level and type of water is very important.

Sea water contains high levels of salt, salt is very corrosive and begins a chemical reaction with almost every metal part in the vehicle (incuding wiring)

Fresh water is friendly and not as harmful.

Next is water getting into engine and transmission.

Transmissions are not sealed units, they contain air vents to let out air or excessive fluid. Hopefully the design on this would be a 1 way valve, if not water that can get to door level, will enter tranmission.

Water getting into engine, not a problem, engine is alluminum, just pour a little oil into the bores while rotating and siezure should clear up. (remove sparkplugs while rotating engine)

It is heart breaking to see a modern day car running with christmas lights.
Why should it be disheartening when a modern day car runs with Xmas galore lights. They are even more on the increase here in Naija. I still dey look this thread with my full eye balls to the ground. grin

If carbon enter combustion chamber no be for am to commot for exhaust? I am just asking o. You can losen spark plugs to avoid a hydrolock and disconnect catalysts to avoid premature burnout while proceedure is on.
As simple as that? you have never had a case of a serious misfire where even after treating such misifre you would need to drive the car excessively so as to remove the excess through the exhaust. Excessive driving doing 200km/h can help grin

Ok then. What abiut Carbon cleaning machine? Is there anyone using it here in Lagos?
That is available. It's still the kit I recommended up there. You do not need to take out anything from the car. The only disadvantage I see is that all carbon goes into the combustion chamber and I believe you know what that means. So it's an absolute NO for me

Is it done on the vehicle or you need to do it off the vehicle ? My nozzles are stuck and refused to be taken out. One fuel injector costs 80k for a 2011 Rsnge rover. What can you do for me?
It can be done on the vehicle by attaching a special kit to the injector tester. I prefer removing them and taking them to the bath. There is a more subtle way of removing your injectors. Renault injectors are even much more fragile
