    hi, Brad i tried what you have instructed but still it won't start. what happened was i had someone change my a/c cooling coil. it already has leaked. so in order for us to get to the a/c cooling coil. first we have to take down the entire dash panel. the guys who took them off said they put everything back in proper places. once everything is back we were suppose to test it. but apparently it just won't start. all the electronic features are functioning. the lights,radio,power windows,moonroof the only problem i notice is the anti theft light keeps blinking red light. then on the push to start button. the green indicator light that goes on once you step on the brakes before starting it won't go off. i know it's suppose to go off once you press it. then the monitor will say system check then it will just shut down.hope you could help me with this. thank you very much.

    Do you have brake lights if not you need a brake switch, this is part of the start circuit. Or try to reprogram the smart key, could also be a smart key ECM.

SOURCE: 1994 cadillace anti theft system

I just had this same problem with a '96 . do you have a vats key in your '94? you need to bypass the VATS system. read some of the blogs on this site and it will tell you how to do it. I fixed mine with a $2 resistor from radio shack.

SOURCE: anti theft system

The chip is in the key. Either the key has lost it's program or the transceiver is not recognising the key. Try another key if you have one.

This means that your key is not being recogonized.Ethier the chip in the key is bad or the patts transciever at the lock cylinder. Do you have a spare key? If not you will have to get 2 new keyss cut and programmed.

Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited. How to replace thermostat please?

Question edited for clarity and add a few spaces and capital letters. :>D
Question moved to model category.

That code is the opposite, it isn't REACHNG temperature it should. However, I had that code and changing the thermostat, got rid of the code.

Error code P0128 indicates that your engine coolant temperature is below the thermostat regulating temperature. This means that your Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has recognized that your engine is running cooler than it's supposed to.

p0128 Code ' KBB - Kelley Blue Book

Videos in the link Julie.

Sounds like a bad battery. If the battery is OK than lock and unlock your Toyota with your fob. If it is still dead than take the better terminal cables off and touch the negative and positive cables together while both are disconnected and away from battery terminals. Should reset your anti theft system. Connect the cables back and try to start. again. If no crank likely bad battery. If battery is OK but no crank then it is the starter.

Hello, the P0420 code is common on corollas with higher mileage, you will need to replace the catalytic converter. The car will automatically be failed if the check engine light is on, Clearing the codes and taking it in to smog may not work because the cat monitor and others need to complete and pass, disconnecting the battery will erase all monitor information. It's not 40 drive cycles but maybe two or so after the repair, usually driving the car on both highway and stop and go city traffic with two drive cyles will complete the monitors, depending on what state you live in it may not be necessary to pass all monitors so ask your local smog station how many and which ones must pass.

this fan noise may be the coolant fan doing the job of cooling the radiator when there is no air flow through the radiator as in standing in a line or at lights. IN a drive through line you would have the window down and so the noise came to your attention when the fan cut in. However have it checked out by an accredited repair shop to put your mind at rest.

My hazard lights won't stop flashing. AC goes on and off

if the hazzards and the a/c are flashing at the same istance then the problem is something to do with the wiring, they may have put a wrong relay in or crossed over some wires.

There are quite a few things that can cause this light to turn on and yes you are right it has something to do with the hybrid system, unfortunately this going to require that a suitable diagnostic scantool be connected that can communicate with all the onboard computers, this will retrieve any diagnostic codes that are stored, a technician can then start to diagnose the system based on the trouble code information.
