Thank you.

Every now and then, after a lot of rain or a car wash, my hazard lights will come on and won't turn off. When driving, the little red "SECURITY" light might be on, sometimes not. So I think water is getting at some connection having to do with the security system. I just don't know where to...

Ok, thank you. That's Helpful

Thanks. This will give me a direction to proceed...

I don't have proper gauges. I have a air con recharge kit. The guage on the low side measures over 100psi. Both when the air con is attempting to engage and when it is turned off. I don't have a guage for the high side.

I took a video so you can see what's happening. The magnetic clutch keeps clicking, but I don't think it's engaging, because the compressor never turns on and air is blowing hot. Do I need to replace the mag clutch or the whole compressor? Or something else?

@BnvS I never fixed it. It still throws the code periodically, but I either clear it myself or wait a day or two and it clears on it's own.

You're right. Thanks for the response. I think one or more globes must be flat. I don't have a leak. I will check the graduations this weekend and try to figure this out. It is riding rougher than in the past.

Thank you for the help. I forgot I needed to adjust the height to read the pressures. I figured out my problem and it was just low on fluid. I should have figured it out a while ago. I went about diagnosing this problem all wrong. Anyway, topped it off and now it is working fine. The...

Welp...

My AHC is on the fritz. The pump seems to be struggling to raise the vehicle. It is making a squeaking sound when engaged. It fails about 20% of the time, turning off the AHC system. Symptoms started after I crossed a flooded road last month. Maybe the cause or maybe just coincidence. My...

This winter I started getting codes p1442 and p1445. I would clear the code and it would be a week or sometimes 3 weeks before the code came up again. This went on for months. I called my Toyota dealership and talked to a tech about possibly replacing the system. Long story short, figured...

It's a daily driver, but I didn't think about checking the battery. Thanks for the advice.

Hi all. Having some symptoms of something. It's a 2006. Here's a video cold starting this morning. A couple days ago I got a check engine light when I started it in the morning. Pulled the code P1445 that had to do with the Secondary Air Intake. I cleared the code and hasn't returned, but...

I can't use the logo or wordmark. Just too risky without licensing it.
