Hi, here are your factory wire colors/functions. Aftermarket stereos have a common set of colors, which should be in your installation diagram. The process is simplified if you purchase a wiring adapter for your vehicle. These are available for under $10 at most WALMARTs and auto parts stores or about any place that sells car stereos. In either case, I recommend you solder the connections or at least use crimp terminals. If you have any more questions, please let me know--I've done a lot of stereo installations.

If it's missing, the "Check Engine" light should be on. You need to read the code to figure out what the computer is telling you is wrong. Many repair shops will read the code for free and give you the code. After you get the code, put it into a Google search and you'll be in the ballpark.

it sounds like a vacume leak. pop the hood, start your vehicle and listen for a hissing sound.

You should take it back to whoever replaced your computers and tell him you found out there's only one computer that controls the entire engine including starting and running so he charged you for something you don't even have.

go to auto parts store buy a repair manual for your car... it will tell you what you need to know..

I'm reading between the lines a lot here, but for quite some time, cars have had impact sensors in the grill that shut off the fuel pump in a collision - this prevents pumping gas on a fire. https://onlineparts.toyotasouthatlanta.com/a/Toyota__Tacoma/48597635__6011910/AIR-BAG-COMPONENTS/8512505.html

There are actually two actuators, one is located in the transfer case and one on the front differential. the one on the transfer case provides power to both front and rear driveshafts, the front actuator must engage so that the front differential locks and provide traction to the front wheels. This means that even if the transfer case is engaged in 4x4 mode the front wheels will not have traction if the front diff actuator is not working.

Sounds like a transmission issue. Have the transmission checked. I assume this is an automatic.

It sounds like either the starter relay is faulty, the ignition switch is bad, or some interlock (maybe a security system) is preventing the start signal from getting to the starter solenoid. You'll need to use that test light to work backwards from the starter solenoid to see where the signal is no longer getting through during a normal start attempt.

After you reinstall the air cleaner, you may need to take the vehicle to a Toyota dealer to have the ECM computer reset. In some cases, disconnecting the battery doesn't do the trick.

the code refers to the air/fuel sensor--heater circuit response, bank 1 sensor 1 That indicates that the HO2S( heated oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold bank 1) is faulty --possible wiring problem or sensor failure

Do you know if there has been Leak Stop or similar added in the past. If so, that can cause a blockage and the cooling system may need to be flushed. If not, another test you can try is to remove the thermostat completely. Since it is still warmer weather it will not be an issue other than it will take longer for the engine to warm up. If you are still seeing high temperatures I would suspect that your water pump is failing or has failed and is not moving enough water through the cooling system.

in the driver door/ where the wires come from the cab to the door wires get broken sometimes

Hi Try Jump starting the car. Looks like you have drained the battery. if the light are dim. that's a sign of week or discharged battery.

Check the clutch cylinder and make sure you have no leaks and bleed it through good luck colin

run the fault codes look for a problem crank/cam position sensor

hi i have a code p0001, what do that mean and how can i fixed or where that part is located.
