Toyota Dome Light & Dinger While Driving? (DIY Fix)

Toyota Dome Light & Dinger While Driving? (DIY Fix)

Toyotas usually don’t break…
But when they do, parts are often not required πŸ™‚

This 2010 Highlander thinks a door is open when making right-hand turns.
Which one is it?
And can we fix it on the spot?

Enjoy!
Ivan

Try and find out who scotties producer is maybe he help turn a real mechanic into a millionaire, I knew Scotty was a fraud when I saw him using a crescent wrench in a car and did anybody see a tool box in that mess he calls a garage? And why on earth if her were a serious mechanic doesn't he have a proper garage with a lift and an organized shop instead of working out of his house, a mechanic for 51 years my aunt fanny more like a BS artist.

Good diagnosis…What do you think was the root cause for the switch to be tweaked? Excessive slamming of the door? Weather related? Poor design?

Diagnostics and repair. Awesome.

Copycat! You got my haircut! Great diagnosis Ivan!

Great fix. Problem is for most of us DIY'ers, we don't have that expensive of a scan tool to read those PIDS.

Shared Knowledge says:

Yet more crappy Toyota engineering destined to prematurely fail. It’s amazing to me so many believe Toyota’s are super reliable when there are so many cases of where they are really poorly designed and often prematurely fail at relatively low miles independent of how they’re maintained like this example. Other examples include multiple years of Camry 4 cylinders with head bolts that only had a few threads engaged that pulled right out of the block and resulted in catastrophic engine destruction. Or piston ring failures resulting in high oil consumption often leading to total engine destruction from low oil. Or automatic transmissions the overheated and boiled all their fluid out resulting in total transmission destruction. Or Prius engines that throw rods though the side of the block due to excessive attempts to save weight at the expense of reliability. Or Prius software that resulted in so many accidents Congress ordered an investigation. If you sealed half a dozen Toyota engineers in a wet paper bag they would probably die before figuring out they could easily escape. The company culture is deeply flawed beyond making some of the most ugly new vehicles currently on sale.

Ivan, I diagnosed a 2002 Toyota highlander v6 AT with a P0753 and P0758, it went to four shops, I found out it was the hardness inside the transmission, I fix it and is shifting fine, but the last mechanic changed the shift solenoids A and B and it is not engaging reverse, Maybe he drop something from the valve body when he change it, because before that the reverse was working fine. What do you think? Thank you for your attention.

More borderline engineering and quality issues.

daveogarf says:

Ivan, LOVE your "Russian Engineering" method of 'no parts required' repair! Imagine how many parts have gone to the scrap heap, when a repair would've been the simplest of fixes! A lesson in frugal practicality.

Irene Silvers says:

Very nice video, thank you.
