Toyota Hilux - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

how to reset toyota 2013 timing belt warning light

Which year Hilux is this? The newer models are using an ECU which controls the injection. There are quite a number of different inputs made by various sensors to the ECU, which calculates the correct amount of diesel to be injected. If any of these sensors are faulty or not giving a reading, it wont inject the diesel, causing it not to start. In this event it will be better to have it plugged to an OBD reader to point you in the right direction.

Hi, There should be a square sunken hole which is on the front of the diff, This is the proper level for oil in the diff. Remove that & catch the oil coming out into a vessel as this should not be the amount of oil your stating is in the diff. That hole you mention is a air pressure hole for the diff, there should be no damage if you do as above quickly. Please leave me feedback, best wishes, Malcolm Campbell.

No the electronics are not compatible. If you are replacing the engine use only the identical engine (out of a Hilux) as is in the Hilux now. Otherwise you will have numerous expensive problems to deal with and I am guessing that you want a straight forward and inexpensive engine change.

Hi Solomon your on borrowed time once the light is on. No one can predict how long it will last. It depends on so much. Age, condition, climate, and so in best thing is to replace if for peace of mind. Regards Jim...

check that the immobiliser is operational as that will stop power to the injectors.

it might be clogged sock on fuel pickup

that would suggest the filter may need replacing as it is not holding the fuel once engine is turned off

Hi,this type of radios with their batterys cause lot of headake:-)Where the fake AC is the knobs that say driver and passenger are actually screws,so you have to unscrew them and you will be able to locate and replace the battery as well.Hope this helps

HI,the 2,5l engines takes about 5l oil,but i would start to pour about 4l and then topping it up gradually while checking the oil level.Good luck.

Make sure you are using the oil recomended by the manufacturer,and dont forget to change the oil filter and the air filter as well,that sometimes can make a big difference.

If it's the Hilux Diesel Motor, check your bulbs. Thats usually why if your bulb is not working, its not running its revolution. Bulbs are connected on one line circuit so if a bulb is burnt, it will interrupt the circuit. If that's not the case, than you may have to check all your connectors. Also check your fuses.

hard to be sure with out hearing the noise, two things I have come across in the work shop . Loose or broken engine mount. Or broken springs in the clutch driven plate. a worn throw out bearing can make a noise when the clutch is in use.

The whole thing is

I had a noise dash and when I removed the sat nav I had loose connections knocking against the metal frame , secured them and no further noise. Hope this may help.

#1 problem:Corrosion at battery terminal connections. Ground,too!#2 problem:Probable bad starter.Diagnostic aid: have a buddy help.Locate starter on engine.have your buddy turn the ignition key to the START position when it just clicks.LEAVE the key in that position while you tap on the starter with a steel rod,re bar,long 3/8 " extension. If the starter cranks the instant the starter is tapped,the brushes inside the starter are burned and the starter should be replaced.The "tap" jars the brushes into good contact and the starter motor turns. "Farm boy" diagnostic works! PS: Thanks for an accurate description of the SYMPTOM. So many people skip the symptoms.When it happens,what happens and when it's hot or cold. A deaf mechanic is useless. Blind ones are great!

Hello.

check to make sure you have power going to horn with test light on one wire then earth second terminal on horn this will check that your new horn is working first then if it does remove steering wheel and you will see a pin that rubs against the back side of the steering wheel short this to earth if your horn works it would normaly be because this pin has worn out and is not touching the steering wheel,this can be repaired by adding a good size of solder to end of pin. before you do make sure you remove pin from housing as not to melt housing.

You have the master cylinder off the car? The neatest way to do this is thread a brake line into each port of the master cylinder. The brake line will need to go around to the top and be submerged in the brake fluid of the reservoir. This way no matter what you do you cannot introduce air into the system. If you have it on a bench you can take a screwdriver and push in the plunger on the cylinder. If it is in the car simply press the brake pedal until no air bubbles are seen. If you don't want to do the brake line thing I told you about you can try putting one finger over each port. Push real easy on the pedal, letting a little fluid by as you press the pedal. Before the pedal is released make sure your finger is tight over the port so air will not be pulled back into the cylinder. Please rate my answer so I am rewarded points for it.
