Make sure the transmission fluid is at the right level and is the right type. Transmissions use the fluid to engage various mechanisms and sometimes low transmission fluid will only effect one gear at first. Also it could the shifting lever adjustment. Make sure all the gears engage as they are supposed to - if they don't work right either, you need to get it adjusted.

If this is a "fly by wire" throttle, the throttle plate may be dirty and not closing all the way at idle. This can cause a conflict in the computer between the TPS reading, and another sensor. Usually, this will cause the engine to shut down, but weird stuff can happen. Not really familiar with run time error. Ask a dealer service tech what usually sets this code.

I think this will be a 15Amp fuse - which should be blue.

You have discovered some of the main pitfalls in buying a model which has only ever been designed for the Japanese domestic market.

You won't find an English manual, end of. It was never intended for English speaking markets so Toyota never went to the time and expense of producing the manual you ask for. Likewise any onboard graphics and operating assistance screens will not usually have alternative language choices.

It's also very unlikely that the video will ever work in anything other than the Japanese version of NTSC. It either has a universal decoder chip, and may offer (in Japanese) to reset the region coding for you, or it won't.

About the only thing you might get working (I presume you're in Europe) is the FM radio, but as Japan uses a different set of frequencies to Europe you'll need to fit a frequency expander to the radio (commonly available online or at car audio shops), but the frequencies shown on the display will remain incorrect.

One fix is to find a RHD 2007 Corolla at a scrapyard (not exactly common as the Corolla hasn't been supplied to Europe since before 2007) and to transplant the entire entertainment system across, but it will likely be of a far lower specification to your model. As you may have to obtain this from Australia/NZ it won't be cheap, and you won't know what you're getting until it arrives.

Your best fix is to learn Japanese!

Cut and splice is the only way to do this and if you are going to do it correctly, you need to solder the connections and have them incased in heat shrink tubing with water repellant.

Just take car to AutoZone to use their Diagnostic Code Reader and then they can look it up and tell you what is wrong and part that you should replace.

Probably because there have not been enough repairs to suggest there was is manufacturing defect or a safety concern. The vehicle may have been abused, subjected to a large amount of road salt, partially submerged, etc. Also, these parts might just be worn out. Some cars are driven 4, 5 or more TIMES as far as other cars that are the same age. Further, cars driven at highway speeds most of the time will last longer than the same car driven over dirt roads.

Does the light come on when you just get off the highway, and into town?

I couldn't find a good answer anywhere, so I made this video that works for a 2007 Corolla on how to reach behind the back seat and release the left latch. http://youtu.be/VXKhksv-v5k
