2000 Cruiser with immobilizer bypass mod installed approx 3 months ago. The light came on this morning after my brother pulled the battery to jump another car.
Where do I check first? Is this related to the bypass? Code won’t clear with TechStream.
My recommendation? Skip the halogens, and go right to a HID projector retrofit. The output is life changing, and it's a pretty easy job.
Then your broken reflector will be of zero consequence.
I honestly am not too bothered by it. Modern diesels just aren't as fun to drive as their pre-DPF ancestors. I had a mk6 TDI and a gen 2 Sprinter, and just never felt the passion that I felt for our HDJ and older TDIs.
I wouldn't be surprised if Toyota throws up their hands, and does away with diesel all together. It doesn't seem like any manufacturer can make a reliable modern diesel.
I miss my HDJ81 tons, and would trade my 100 for it in a heartbeat. It "felt" faster than my 01 LC, which is quite slow if we're being honest.
If I were you, I'd ditch the 80 for an 81. Solves the power issue, and you end up with a bullet proof platform.
