20 Most Recent 2002 Toyota ECHO - Page 5 Questions & Answers

You should check the 30 amp "RDI" fuse and the 7.5 ECU-IG fuse. Both fuses are critical to the operation of the fan system. The RDI fuse sends power to the fan #1 relay. The A/C amplifier turns on power to the fan #1 relay, this is why your fan works on A/C.

Now, with no cooling fan under "normal conditions" (A/C off), you need to have a good fan #2 relay, and a good water temp switch. This switch is on the engine, near the thermostat housing (I think); with a single plug, with a white with a blue trace wire going to it. Remove this wire from the sender, and jump it to ground (anywhere on the metal of the engine) with the key on (engine OFF). If the fan starts, you need a new water temp sending unit. If not, then consider a new fan #2 relay. This system is pretty simple.

Could be either the struts are getting weak or the swaybar links getting loose.

Did you ever get this resolved? I have the same issue with our 2000 Toyota Echo.

should be a bosch or ngk

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. I am guessing you have an electrical issue somewhere. I have had the same problems with vehicles and it is a pain in the neck. It starts with one part and soon another and another. I would advise you to have it put on a machine. This is the best way to do so and it will save you time and money. If it is electrical, it can be hard to find. Check all your wires in the starting circuit. Make sure your terminals are cleaned and connected tight. Check your wires around the starter and the alternator as well. Make sure all your grounds are grounded properly. All your grounds are black wires. Make sure everything is hooked up proper. Sometimes, when we change parts, we can often forget a wire or hose. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and thanks for using FixYa.

Idle is controlled through the on board computer and is not adjustable, however after u cleaned the system you need to disconnect the battery for 5 minutes and then let the system relearn the idle speed, this takes about 30 miles of driving a combination of city and highway.

Any good Ethylene Glychol based anti freeze will work. Prestone, Peak, etc..

More than likely battery doesn't hold a charge overnight. After time batteries don't charge as deeply and can't hold a charge. Jump start and take to any good parts store and have them load test your battery (they do this FREE) Autozone or Advance would be my first choices. While there have them test your charging system - they do this FREE also.

5w30 weight Oil is reccomended for most temperatures for your vehicle. You will use just a little under 4 quarts of oil to achieve a proper reading on your oil dipstick.

The problem 95% of the time is an ignition coil, if you do not have special equipment, your only tool is common sense, disconnect plugs from spark plugs, remove spark plugs,now insert the plugs in the wires and set them together touching metal ground them,
Ask somebody to crank vehicle one of those wires or 2 of them if the coil is bad wont fire or the spark will be weak and orange, blue is ok. Follow the no spark or weak spark to the coil, now swap coils , repeat the same procedure if the problem follow the coil to the wires that were ok before the problem is the coil if the problem is still in the same position the problem is harness wires or computer.

Open the hood and directly in the front you will see an opening to get your hand in. Use a light to see where the back of the headlight assembly is. Then you will see two plugs going into the case. The one closest to the middle of the vehicle is your headlight bulb. The one closest to the outside of the vehicle is the signal lamp. All you have to do is just grab the plug and turn it counter clockwise to release it from the headlight assembly. Once out just remove the bulb from the plug and replace with identical number bulb. Push back in and turn clockwise to lock in place. That's all. Good luck and happy motoring!!

The easiest thing to do is to go to Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts, and they can scan the computer and tell you what the check engine light is on for.

theres a screen in the fill neck of the vehicle, i would say it has some restriction from something.

If you can post the exact code that was read with the check engine light it may help with diagnosis. Toyota sensors should be replaced with Denso brand. Many other brands can create problems with Toyotas, especially Bosch.

first thing to do is reach under where the blower is and fiddle with the plug while it is on high if that does'nt work unplug the blower and check the voltage at the plug switch from low to high and the voltage should change if this is good the problem is with the blower if the voltages do not change the problem is with the switch

no power at the resistor of the blower fan 2003 toyota ecko
