From the pics on dashboard, car is a 2004/6 the circuit that controls fluid level is about 15years old, replace the sensor or figure out if an open or short circuit can bypass the error.

Lexusgs430:
It's a 2009. Would replace sensor and see if warning vanishes...

Thank you......

AutoMoTech:
Pls check the wiring, ensure its good before replacing sensor.

Solved..... The coolant reservoir was low, i was only checking radiator......

Old age is a bad tin.....

Thank you all...........

GAZZUZZ:
Problem not solved. Coolant is a closed system, should not be low, check for small slow leak.

Lexusgs430:
Oga, that small leak i go dey manage am....... I get water plenty........

I would advice U atleast just do a pressure test on your cooling system. Atleast find out if its an internal or external leak.

it's external for sure. Let me run back to my thread, I'm beginning to constitute a nuisance

AutoMoTech:
Your ECU wasn't lying... U suppose knee dan bros

Make i stand up..........

Somebody please tell me my kazeem is lying. I checked this gearbox oil on Saturday before I started the car to warm it and i parked it back, there was oil. Today when he came to go and change my spark plugs, My Car won't move when u put it on gear, both drive and reverse. There's no oil underneath my car either. He said my gearbox failed and I need a new one. I thought the gearbox will show signs before going bad. I'm so confused here. My car is Avalon 02.

AutoMoTech:
Sorry to say but we can't tell you your mechanic is lying. You were not there, we were not there. All we have now is your own side of the story. It wld have been great if you were there. I perceive you trusted the mechanic to go work on your car. Bt now this unfortunate situation.
Regardless As it stands you need to find a solution.
1. Get another mechanic who is competent. Refill the gear with appropriate oil. You might be lucky the gear is still good. He probably just wanted to rip U off with a quick one, or he might be saying the truth. We dnt know.
2. Even if the trans failed, there should still be oil in it. Seeing there is no oil and no trace of any leakage, then there is something very fishy.
3. If you are sure there was oil, lock him up for a few days until he pays for that transmission. he needs to learn a lesson Many mechanics out there live in lying. They dont fix shit. However if u're not sure, you need to consider your options.

Good evening

I opened the hood of my corolla 2010 car today and found out that the radiator coolant in the reservoir is empty. What brand of coolant should I use and do I just top up the coolant of do I need to totally flush and replace it.

Bad influence

UcLloyd:
I always give him my car to go work on. I don't understand this very one. Is it possible a gearbox will get bad without prior signs? No noise, no gear changing problems, no burning smell, no sign at all. This is the first time I'm having this gearbox issue, but I've seen people tell their tales na. If he really did anything fishy, is already done, I just want to know if is possible for a gearbox to go bad without first showing signs, I don't want to overeact unjustly. AutoMo Tech
