It has a timing chain so I think never is the recommendation. As far as the tranmission fluid, I don't know what Toyota thinks but I would do it about now if I were you.
#714 of 768 RAV4 and Internal Engine Control Module” failure. by marcomeneses Mar 22, 2009 (11:32 am)
RAV4 and Internal Engine Control Module” failure.   My RAV4 2003 (100K miles) actually kicks out of gear on re-acceleration, for stoplights, and heavy stop and go traffic situations.   It revs up to about 2000 rpm before it engages when I accelerate to proceed.   The dealer told me that it was the “Internal Engine Control Module” CODES P0755 and PI760. To replace that module costs 1200 dollars.   My question is:   Can I get that module and install myself?   If yes, where I can get that part and the instructions to install it?   Any help is appreciated, because with the economic downturn of the economy is difficult to pocket out 1200 dollars and I would like to do it myself.   marcomenesesmsn.com Replies to this message: wwest (Mar 23, 2009 8:58 am) marcomeneses (Mar 23, 2009 10:14 am)

Replying to: marcomeneses (Mar 22, 2009 11:32 am) FIRST, make sure the ATF level is proper, high enough.   But otherwise it more sounds to me as if one of the line pressure control solenoids has/is failing. Disconnect the battery briefly in case an ECU "relearn" procedure will/might work. Replies to this message: marcomeneses (Mar 23, 2009 10:14 am)

#717 of 768 Cabin Air Filter Replacement by gilvkona Mar 31, 2009 (12:07 pm)
I was replacing the filter on my 2006 RAV4 today. The filter that was there had an up arrow. The replacement filter had an airflow arrow. Does anyone know what direction the airflow is for this filter so I can replace it properly? Looking at the filter, I don't know how it could matter.   I called one dealer, he told me the flow was from the bottom to the top. The other dealer told me the opposite.

#718 of 768 Cabin Air Flow by ginsvallo Mar 31, 2009 (12:32 pm)
I didn't know there was a cabin air flow filter. Where is it?? Replies to this message: gilvkona (Mar 31, 2009 1:03 pm)

Replying to: ginsvallo (Mar 31, 2009 12:32 pm) There is a cabin air filter, sometimes called a AC(air conditioner) C(cabin) filter. It is located right behind the glove compartment. The replacement directions are in the owner's manual at the end of the AC operations section. The dealer replaced mine at 15k miles. I now am replacing it myself at 45k miles. It is pretty dirty, I must admit. It is very easy to replace, no kidding.   A third dealer just told me the flow was from the bottom up. So there are two out of 3 votes in that direction. Looking at the filter, I can't see how it matters but who am I to tell.

Replying to: gilvkona (Mar 31, 2009 12:07 pm) It does matter because if the filter airflow is in the proper direction, the filter element will be tightly sealed by the airflow(for better filtering) and will also rest against any bracing. In the incorrect position, the filter willed be pulled loose and not afford a tight seal and will not be supported by any bracing.

Replying to: typesix (Apr 01, 2009 7:48 am) OK. But can you help me by telling me what the airflow direction is? Is the airflow from bottom to top as 2 of the 3 dealers said?   Thanks for any help out there.

Replying to: gilvkona (Apr 01, 2009 7:58 am) Don't take this as gospel but I can't imagine any Toyota/Lexus HVAC configuration wherein the airflow isn't downward. From the outside air intake at the bottom of the windshield toward/into the squirrel cage blower assembly below.   In recirculate a damper closes the outside inlet and opens an alternate cabin air inlet above the filter.
