1995 Toyota Previa - Page 7 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Are you shure there might be little light back there your missing that burned out.
Could be a short try replacing the rear lights.
It happen many times on hondas and jeep i had
the bulbs make short cause all kinds probelms take a few bucks new light and take out and put the side and put in new light see it works

You probably need to adjust the linkage. It adjusts at the transmission side.
It could also be that the mounts are going bad, and the transmission is out of place.

replace propshaft couplings about 40 on ebay also known as donuts .

Hi, this will be very tough to diagnosis without scanning the trouble codes. this could be as simple as a damaged wheel speed sensor or as major as a defective ABS unit. Have the system scanned for ABS related trouble codes to be sure.

The radiator or heater core might be plugged up, most likely the radiator.

It could be a faulty oil sending unit, but it would be advisable to have the oil preasure checked with a mechanical guage to determine if it is a sending unit or low oil preasure. Oil preasure low enough to allow the light to come on is low enough to possibly cause major engine damage.

tighten the screw in that holds it on I think that model will allow you to do so without removing the steering wheel.

Hi.
I think the problem is the power take off for the front fan ,steering etc. Underneath the middle of the car you will see what looks like a small propshaft pointing towards the front with a doughnut shapped mounting bolted to each end. These rubber joints wear and rattle on tick over or low revs cost is about £40 for the 2 from Japarts
Takes about 2 hours to change.Hope this helps Good luck

bearing bad or bearing housing egged out

4.5 liters or quartze

I would suspect the flasher unit is failing, and is generally located on or near the fuse box. If you are not sure what you are looking for. Purchase a new one from the local auto parts store, once you have it in hand it will be easier to Identify.
Also turn the signals on, if they will flash and track the sound source.

Hope this is of some help.

in order to do this job properly you need special recovery equipment to recover the freon and after the job you need to have a vacuum pump put on the system to get all the air out and check for leaks prior to charging
what you can do is have a shop recover the freon then go home and do the work your self then go back to the shop and have them pull a vacuum on it then charge it

you can charge the system your self but if you dont pull a vacuum it will never blow very cold

is it the evaporator leaking or the expansion valve leaking or both?

get your self a good repair manual and it will walk you through either of these jobs

It occurred to me that you may find it by unplugging wires on the few items under the hood which may appear they could be the oil pressure sending unit.

The light should go out when the wire is unplugged, and if it does it is bad. That's your continuity test.

If you unplug the oil pressure sending unit and the light does not go out, the cause of the oil light staying on is something other than the oil pressure sending unit.

RE pete cass posting: I believe that if the sensor is diconnnected, the oil pressure light will not light (at least because of the oil pressure sensor switch being disconnected) -- the symptom here is the light won't go off. The switch is closed with oil pressure below 10-15 PSI and open above that oil pressure -- this is a normally closed switch.

95 toyota may have an early obd2 diagnostics,which started for all cars in 96,which means it can track a cylinder misfire,when ck light flashes it can mean multiple misfire detected causing serious loss of power,you can try going to autozone they do free ck engine light code reading ,tell them you may have obd2 plug according to web,let me know codes if you get lucky.with AZ its hit or miss

First you go get a bowl to drain the oil from within the engine and remove a knot underneatthe engine to enable the oil drain out. Remove and replace the oil filter, tighten it properly, then fill in the new oil into the oil compartment of the engine.

simple.

Rate this.

so you have the door panel off right? usually there is holes around the opening were the previous speaker were. you can screw them into the door as long as you dont go all the way thru it.

have youu check thermostad some times stuck, check the condition of the hose pipes.
check how is the fan,
have you check if the cylider head crakes because of ovaheating..

The fuel pump relay is always one of these two places, either under the steering colum to the left of the break pedal in the fuse/relay box or it would be under the hood of the car on the driver side also in a fuse/relay box.
