2000 Toyota Camry Solara - Page 4 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems. Also engine mechanical problems ca cause many drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms

There is a fuse box inside the passenger compartment, and one in the engine compartment. The details would be in your owners manual.

It part of your rear window glass, did someone tinted your windows or aftermarket sound system aded?

Hard to diagnose long distance. I would look at the throttle body and the idle air control for dirt-sludge. The control valve may be stopped up or sticking.

if the Hazard does not work as well i would start there and then move on to the flasher relay under the steering column

go to a local key cutting locksmith and get a new key cut ,,, preferably from the original code ,, if that dont work its the ignition switch,,, a cut key just mechanical with no immobliser chip should be cheap ''' cheaper than a garage visit

you need to get your remote staring system manual and reprogram it, or go to the brand web site of your remote system and get a manual. the worst that could hapen is that you will have to take it to your nearest audio, car alarm shop and ask them to disconect it.

tell me if engine was normal.because many things will cause engine not to start up tell me if engine is turning over if yes.i would do minor things.replace air filter, clean fuel injectors engine be flooding if you have starting problems when engine hot.if you seen check engine light flashing code scan vechicle at auto zone free could have faulty idle speed air control valve,vacuum leaks at egr valve or vacuum hoses, could have problems with VVT TIMING SENSOR CONTROL VALVE TIMING,could have bad fuel injector, or faulty engine coolant temperature sensor if bad it will cause hard starting problems,best have vechicle code scan using a scanner that will save you time and money.

Most likely a loose sensor on the drivetrain more specifically the traction control system easiest to just have it scanned for codes buy a good repair manual like. Haynes or chilton and replace or repairing indicated part from the trouble code

Hi I'm litoshop if the security light stop blinking.then you deactived the alarm if your car has a factory alarm then the same light you see blinking look at it close and see if it's a switch push it in and put the key on and just turn on the dash light then turn it off the it should start blinking agian if it's not the light the look for a small red push botton and do the same as instructed above good luck. if this information has been useful please let us know thank you...

Hello! 7.3 Quarts...Guru..Saailer I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_6df67de3b14de867

did you try the instrument light adjustment?

Why was the battery replaced? Theres no reason the the 100 amp fuse to blow unless the alternator is shorted or you hooked up the battery backwards. I think the 100 amp fuse goes to the alternator. If it was hooked up backwards then you may have engine computer damage.

There are literally HUNDREDS of reasons why an engine can stall and not start back up. The place to begin to find the solution for your problem would be to scan your onboard computer system for fault codes. This will most likely lead you directly to the answer.

it could be a few things, you will need to test/ inspect them to be sure. the first thing you want to look at is the fuse. These are generally located in the dash on the drivers side, on the part facing the door. then next thing to inspect.replace is the relay, this is usually found under the dash on the drivers side, along the kick panel. Finally you will want to inspect the switches (both hazard and turn signal multi-switch) for continuity and operation.

there is some big square fuses in the fuse block under the hood and i would say that one or more of these are blown and if you find that one of these are blown and will not pull out some are bolted in on the side of the fuse block and some of the smaller fuses could also be blown but you need to fix the bigger problem first.look closely at the bigger 40-100 amp fuses first........if i can help any futher let me know.............i hope this was helpful good luck let me know...............

There should be a button on the gear selector. Push it and the light should go off. All it does is turn overdrive, or 5th gear off.

you need to use your key fob to reset the anti theft system you should be able to find the procedure in your owners manual under battery replacement.

idle learn procedure:

turn off all electrical items (AC fan, audio, lights, defogger, etc.)
Start the engine and hold it at 3,000 rpm with no load (in park or Neutral) until the radiator fan comes on or the engine coolant gauge shows normal running temp.

Now let the engine idle for a minimum of 5 mins with no electrical loads. If the radiator fan cycles on during this time, you must add the fan running time to the 5 mins.
