2002 Highlander CEL, VSC & TRAC issue by woodstoc
Mar 27, 2009 (11:44 am)

Hello everyone, New to the forum.
 
My wife's 02 HL's CEL, VSC & TRAC lights came on after a wash after a car wash sometime ago. After a couple of days, the lights went out so I figured that a connection got wet and caused the lights.
 
Buy a pressure washer about three weeks ago, and wife decided to wash the HL with it. Lo and behold, here they are again on the dash. After two weeks, I disconnected the battery and restored. Lights went away. After a few times of driving, they are back on and the SUV cannot be inspected.
 
Any ideas of where a connection might be, that could cause this so I can begin to troubleshoot? (The engine compartment was not opened for the wash)
 
Thanks for any replies.

Hey. I ahve a 90 4 runner V6 and have the same problem as you. Did you ever resolve the issue??? I am thinking something with the Coil maybe??? The coil resistance in my truck is a little high.. 0.7 Ohms and the FSM specs 0.4 - 0.5 Ohms. Maybe a short??? I also get Codes on my CEL. 13 , 42 and 43
 
13 -- No IGf Signal
42 -- No IDL or NSW or A/C Signal
43 -- No Speed Sensor Signal.
 
Jumping out the plug for base timing doesn't work. (Same effect as not jumpering). I dont notice very much change in truck RPM when I connect the jumper either...seems a bit strange. I Know the timing is "close" because otherwise the truck would run like a real turd rather then rough, hesitate, poor gas mileage and maaad vibration at about 110km/h

I had Autozone pull the codes and they point to the bank 1 O2 sensor. Some research shows this to be the one at the back of the engine, prior to the cat. I'm hoping that water got into the elec connector and caused a short or corrosion issue. I plan on checking that this evening. If this doesn't work, I'll replace the sensor next.
 
Sorry, I don't know enought about these trucks to help with your issue. This is the wifes car and I mostly tinker with my vette.

4runner tire air pressure by jrpoole

I have a 1999 4runner limited, how do I know which tire air pressure to use? The value that the tire says, or the value written inside the driver door area? Sorry if it's a newb question, I wasn't sure as both values are pretty different. (The one on the tire is a lot higher).

wet rear rugs? by Ckmt
Apr 13, 2009 (8:00 am)
Reply
I am looking to buy a '06 4 runner. I looked at one available from my favorite dealer. Test drove it and stopped in a parking lot to check it over. Notice the latch for the rear door was rusted. Tried to check the oil and the tube that holds the dip stick was rusted and could not get the dip st. out. Read a couple reviews about water getting in somewhere and getting the rear rugs soaked. They had no answers or satisfaction from toyota. Any help GREATLY appreciated.

I own a 2006 LTD V8 with 70K miles, bought new, with no problems at all. Still have original tires & brakes. I have followed the routine maintenance schedule with service provided at a Toyota dealership (essentially oil and filter changes). I have no water leaks, but have not taken the truck off-road. I've driven it through countless rain storms with heavy flooding and no leaks. I would pass on this particular 4Runner and keep looking.

I bought a 2006 4Runner sport without the owners manual.
I had a yellow light on the dash come on, it looks like a bottom 3/4 of a tire with an explanation point on the inside. is this a tire pressure monitor or ??
thanks!

None, you need to go to a shop and have them run the codes, personally I stay away from the dealer unless it is under warranty.
