Have you ever noticed check light on the car since you started using it?

2010 Camry (venza engine) does not have a dip stick.

the vsc came on when steering was loosened during allignment
If the spiral cable is still good, recalibrating the steering angle sensor should fix the light.

How did you know it didn't drop?
Best way to check is to warm the car and check if the oil is at the hot level of the dip stick
Where you wan see dip stick?
Besides, why would you even suggest he starts the car and allow it get warm for a transmission that's already showing signs of going dead?
Cyif2003, Chukel suggested you perform a transmission oil flush. That's your best bet, but now the problem go con be who get the right pump wey go help you flush the system properly.
As advised in a different thread, scan the transmission without starting the car (key in the ignition or push twice for the dashboard lights to come up if equipped with a push to start system). I'm expecting to see some solenoid codes.
Try addressing the code, drain the oil, take out the filter (it has to be done in a clean environment), refill the oil with original Toyota WS oil, perform an oil level check (good luck with that), then go for a test drive.

Oga scan first and see the codes there. If you can't interpret it, bring it here and people who can will do so and tell you the exact thing you need to do. Don't go and start doing Guess work on car repairs. This is 2023 and not 1982

There is a dip stick for U760 Transmission
The way to check is also to get the car warm up for about 10mins before checking. I am not saying the car should moved

u no de hear word. Next you will bring people who will create another problem for you. Someone has promised to scan with high end scanner. Your best bet is to flush that system or change the ATF and change filter and hope for the best.

Good morning,

While driving my Camry 2007 yesterday morning, I noticed that I was firing the RPM at 5,000 and above and the car was just making noise and the car isn’t moving.
The car was stalling and not moving properly.
Note that the gear was on 2
I had to park the car, and start the engine again just so that I leave the highway and get to my safe destination.

Please what could be the cause.

Don't play. That gear is 13pin U250E for a 4 cylinder engine and it cost about 500k. Did you do any repairs prior to this issue,?
You have to scan and share codes here.

Coming from someone that does not know how to inspect a timing belt?
Stop spewing thrash online and giving wrong advice just because you Google things and watch YouTube videos.
That transmission does not have a conventional dip stick and good luck doing an oil level check above the required temperature range.

I have check that the dipstick gauge ends in 2az/U250E of Camry 2009. I have been repairing my cars and those around me with just my little car knowledge. Don't know how long you have been a mechanic but just know that YouTube is doing a lot of good to those of us doing it ourselves including you a mechanic. Note that i am not a mechanic but i know more than so many Nigerian mechanics

That says it all then.
Just know there's a big difference between theoretical knowledge gotten from Google and YouTube, and on the field practical knowledge.
