Perusing Amazon today I noticed that they seem to be selling the CTA Tools head bolt wrench for the Prius(*) in a standalone listed as: "CTA Tools...
I guess they don't call 'em squirrel cage fans for nothing. :D But I'd expect that if the fan was clogged you'd tend to hear it more often and...
Sure -- you're really gonna want to download that manual, those excerpts are just a taste. (Of course, your mechanics should have seen it already...
Those DTCs relate to the LIN Communication System - specifically the LIN bus connecting the ECUs involved here: Transmission control ("is it in...
Shooting from the hip: if the MIL (aka Check Engine Light) isn't coming on, these are not current codes then right?. (Or so intermittent that...
Guess I worry that a solvent that can do good to the rings in under 30 minutes could do bad to the rubber seals. But once I found myself buying...
If you DIY the rear shocks maybe clean the hybrid battery cooling fan since you'll have most of the panels removed anyway. The rear springs won't...
Only the BG 109 (I think it's called) which I bought and shelved before I started seeing the hybrid version. (Price on Amazon has doubled since...
Is the idea that the 10K OCI is overly optimistic about how well the oil holds up (lubricity wise)? Unscientific anecdote ahead: my 2010 is...

You probably got this, but make extra sure you get the EGR passage through intake manifold. It feeds the little hole in each cylinder port,...
Just from the thumbnail that looks a lot more like CAN (or anything differential like modbus) than UART serial. No time to peruse that datasheet...
The ETCG video saved me from buying that useless cheap HF tester a couple years back. Thumbs up from me!
You mean on the intake manifold itself? Might be a captured nut, not sure if it can even be removed from the plastic and replaced. The bolts at...
Well if it was somehow a wiring issue, the repair manual should have a procedure for checking continuity of individual connections with a basic...
Gonna go out on a limb here -- you probably left a wiring connection undone. I believe you only needed to unplug the connector at the lower right...
Well that middle point is interesting because it says the cylinder will heat up more without EGR. Wonder what happens to the head gasket when...
At the risk to the near-kumbaya detente in this thread :), it's interesting that in the Gen 4 teardown article they show Toyota moving heaven and...
I gather that misfires themselves are also considered dangerous to engines. (Could that be why Toyota has those warnings in the EGR valve active...
