Bonus #2 - I applied for the FirstAgain loan at 6.44% instead of dealer financing. but when I told the dealer this he said his local bank might be willing to match. he called them up and they said yes after a credit check. the bonus is that when we got home i got an email from firstagain saying we were denied the loan but that was ok because dealer got great rate. Bonus #3 - dealer gave us $300 off of $700 ResistAll carpet, leather, and paint treatment. $400 addon seems high but knowing our carelessness and kids tendencies to spill juices, throw up, drop food this will be great for us. plus it protects the paint and they'll fix for free if it stains. after checking what others have paid and the fact i hate waxing cars this was a good deal to us. Bonus #4 - we couldn't pick up the car until 5 days later. but with my work distance this means i'll get to use up the gas in my trade in and get a full tank once i trade it in. I"m so excited. I just feel a bit odd owning a gold colored tricked up leather SUV when it's so not me to spend money on leather, nor choose gold color. I'd rather keep the money. But this deal was too good.

| My husband purchased winter tires for my 2007 Rav 4 which do not have the RFID tire sensor in the valve. How do I disable the sensor so I don't have the indicator light on all winter. | |
| I brought my 2007 RAV4 in for routine maintenance (oil change, tires rotated etc) and since have had this same problem. The engine check light, 4WD light and the VSC light stay on constantly. My dealer and service person both say it is the gas cap. The vehicle has less than 24,000 miles on it. So what gives? | |

Replying to: DaisyRose (Dec 06, 2008 11:56 am) And yes, it could be the gas cap. Due to emissions regulations your fuel system is kept under a slight positive pressure to detect if there is any leakage. If you inadvertently leave the gas cap slightly loose, or remove the gas cap without fueling the car, a CEL will result. These normally clear within a few drive cycles provided the problem is resolved, seat the gas cap. Did you by chance buy a locking gas cap that doesn't meet the EPA requirments..??

Replying to: DaisyRose (Dec 06, 2008 11:56 am) Also the good thing of this, if you are stuck in the snow and you wont to disengage the VSC for more power just loose the gas cap (the 4WD and ABS was worrking even with the warning light on). Thanks to Edmunds.com Fredy3

I have an 07 Rav4 LTD V6 with 17,000 miles (I live in Ottawa Canada but this is an American car). Last Friday All three of those lights came on. This happened just after I had filled up with gas and the went through a touchless carwash. I phone the dealer and they told me that it often happens when you go through the carwash on cold temps. The temp in Ottawa was - 12 Fahrenheit. They said to drop in and they would turn off the Christmas lights. I stopped by the next day and they reset the lights but they cam back on after a couple of hours of driving. I made sure that the gas cap is on properly. I have read in another post that it could fuel related so I will also use some gas line antifreeze. How do you reset those lights? Do I need a ODBC code reader and where is the plug in located? Seems to be a fairly common problem has anyone resolved this without having to replace parts? Thanks Ghis (still freezing in Ottawa)
