how do i get the "service soon light off" on a rav 2007

This sounds simple, but did you drain the fuel tank, and replace all the old fuel? Over time fuel loses it's volatility and will gel somewhat, and will not ignite. First, after this make sure you are getting fuel up to the injector. If you haven't done it put fresh fuel in, make sure the pump is running, and if at all possible disconnect the fuel line at the motor and flush it out by running the pump. You may also have to pull the injectors and clean them out in solvent.

If you're not certified to work on the airbag system then don't mess with because you can. KILL YOUSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE LEAVE IT ALONE

you need to get in touch with toyota they had a recall on your vehicle due to airbag.THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY CONTAINS ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MODULE HOUSED IN A SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY, WHICH INCLUDES A FLEXIBLE FLAT CABLE (FFC). DUE TO THE SHAPE AND LOCATION OF THE FFC'S RETAINER, THE FFC COULD BECOME DAMAGED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. Consequence: IF THE FFC IS DAMAGED, CONNECTIVITY TO THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE COULD BE LOST AND THE AIR BAG DEACTIVATED. THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT TYPICALLY NECESSITATES DEPLOYMENT INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER.

Check your belt

It should last 200 000 miles under normal driving conditions and it's serviced when it should be. That's a tough question because if you live were there is a lot of stop and go traffic or a lot of hills that shortens the life also if you over heat the motor that effects the transmission from the exceseive heat

This is just a guess but did you have a battery fail completely dead or have it disconnected for an extended period of time? I had a 2001 Ford Astro Van that had an internal connection in the battery break. I called AAA for a jump but all that would happen was the dummy lights in the dash would flash. I had it towed to Walmart as it was a nearly new battery. They tested and replaced it with a new one but it still wouldn't start so I had it towed to the Ford dealer. They said that if the battery wasn't connected for an extended time for whatever reason, the passive anti theft program, that works with the chip key, deprograms in the computer. I didn't know this at the time so I didn't bring my wife's key with me. It takes at least two to program the system. I had to have a new chip key cut, $22.00 then have it and my key reprogrammed into the system, $65.00 labor then. Good luck.

Check the child lock. If it does not open from earlier side then inner panel needs to go out snd see what's heppend. Not sure how locks designed on it, it could be that power lock actuator lever snapped from it's place

recheck install -connections and sensors --have code read --replace with the same trans - if not ecu wont recognize it
