Some diagnosis aren't easy to explain, but in all, it's just to find the cause of a fault and remedies.

After diagnosis should come repairs or replacement.


Where is the car located?


Warri

kingreign:


You need diagnosis to know what's wrong with the steering. Your car uses electronic steering. It's not fuel pump pls.

GAZZUZZ:


Small thing. Include more details of your car and it's issues

GorillaApp:

What brand of car? Can recommend you to my personal mechanic.

kingreign:

What year is your car?

Hello all..

nymphomaniac:
send me a Whatsapp message let me see what he is saying he will fix

kingreign:


Your technician should clear the codes using that OBD 2 scanner. If you’re in Abuja, feel free to contact me within the week to clear it

nairamaniac:


It can be fixed. Just that it takes days to 1week for technicians to solve it manually. Whereby they have to trace the leak wire by wire, fuse by fuse and component by component.



But there is a video I watched and stored on my fon that a techguy did it on a spot within like 2hours.

I just can't locate the video in my fon at the moment.


For now, u may have to be unplugging one of the terminal heads of your battery at the end of every driving day.

Michael547:

Was that the battery that came with the car when you bought it?

bluetooth car scanners need phone to be able to operate them with

standalone basic scanners are just plug and play abi plug and use, they have screen to relay info but basic because they can only do basic scanning onlike what big car technicians use or dealerships.

nurey:


from bluetooth to basic scanners that cost 10 to 15k.

but for now wait for the technician response and as you are waiting do a vin check of your vehicle to know what you are facing or is the vehicle nigerian used?

switching brainbox to work effectively means he has to reprogram yours to the other venza because they are different, the brainbox may work but not optimally. Besides if yours is a 4cylinder and the other is a V6 venza issues go still dey. A simple plug and play scanner would have given code if the brainbox is faulty.

if you bought the venza tokunbo its time to do a vin check, the vehicle could be flooded or accidented that will let you know next steps to take.

nurey:


parasitic drain cannot be picked up by scan tool, like he said it takes patience and time with tools that are less expensive mostly (multimeter and a bulb attached to a tester) but the skill to do it right one by one testing each component electrical pathway nah the koko.

the bone of contention in your case is letting the mechanic loosen the brainbox because if the brainbox is at fault, it will definitely throw a code.

GAZZUZZ:


Time equipment and technique.

Cannot be resolved remotely and without training

nairamaniac:


Oga Gazzuzz please answer this question for us. It seems like a common problems within cars.

I think it's about a component still functioning even after switching off the power system of the car with the key.

Like something is still ON and running down the battery.
The battery completely runs down after some few



days(3 to 4 days) if the car is left disengaged for that long.


What's the best possible DIY way to trace where/what is switched ON?
THIS IS THE LIKELY QUESTION I REALLY WANT TO ASK.

As even most technicians don't have a straight forward way of tracing the power leakage.
Thanx!

If your battery is not weak, then it’s not normal. You probably have a weak battery or a parasitic battery drain.

Have it checked by a competent technician. If you’re in abuja, contact me on 07034581213

This thread is created mainly for Toyota and Lexus users who have problems with their cars....the car gurus in the house can freely proffer solutions too. You can also contact me on WhatsApp on 07047609877. Thanks.

Good morning sir,
Did your technician check to ensure power goes into the intake vvt-i solenoid harness?
If yes, did you replace the VVt-I solenoid?
