Check Engine SVC and 4WD by ghislain
Jan 18, 2009 (9:33 am)

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)

Picked up an OBDII code reader.
code was P2195 "O2 Sens Signal Stuck Lean Bank1 Sens1" going to Dealer on Tuesday to have sensor replaced.

Car wash equipment snagged the O2 wires....
 
Just a guess.

Wind Noise by bankone

I notice that my 2007 RAV has the rattling wind noise on the drive side just beside my left ear if the wind is a bit strong and when I am driving at about 60km per hour. If the wind is not strong, i won't hear the noise. I have taken to car to the dealer several times. Every time when I was test driving with the mechanic, there was no wind. So the mechanic could not figure out the problem. Does anybody know te problem and how to fix it?

I had wind noise around the right side front door just above the rear view mirror area when I bought our new 2007 Rav4 in Feb 07. There was a bulletin from Toyota about this. There was a baffle or something like that that was needed to be installed inside the rear view mirror housings. I had my dealer do this and it seemed to fix it. Hope this helps.

Tire presure light woes by lenny20

Under 36,000 mi, I installed 4 new tires (Nokian). About 700 miles later tire-pressure light blinked on/off, then on for about two minutes. Then would not go on again. Dealer checked tires, including spare, and pressed reset button. Dealer said that the tire shop had probably failed to press reset button. Now, about 800 mi later tire pressure light is on again, this time a steady bright. (By the way, I cannot find spare-tire latch release on bottom of spare tire cover.) I've checked tire pressure, and of course it's where it should be, 32 lbs.

I have a RAV4 2007 with about 13,000 miles on it. A year ago in January when it went below freezing here in New Orleans the tire pressure light went on and has never gone out. I have had my car serviced at a Midas shop (run my by son-in-law) and he has tried to reset it, to no avail. It is not worth it to take it into the Toyota place and leave my car all day (which is what they do, even for an oil change) to find out why this happens. There is nothing wrong with my tires, they have been rotated twice too.
I would be interested in hearing what happens in your case.

Julieo1,
 
I've heard from other forums that you need to check the tire pressure of the SPARE. For 2006+ Rav4s, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is electronically monitored by a module on each individual tire stem, and the spare has one of these as well.
 
Good luck, hope this helps!
