For future reference and anybody else that may have similar problems to myself, to get the auto trans fault codes to display on a KZJ71 the two connectors to short out are TE1 and E1 in the diagnostics port. Different models seem to have different combinations

Yep speedo still works. Everything except the flashing overdrive light seems to work and drive as it should

Ive found what the fault codes refer to but how do I get the fault codes to show up? At the moment I have a blinking OD light. Also on the rear of the Auto trans drivers side is a black plug/sensor which is fairly loose, next to it is a bracket. Is the tag of that bracket supposed to sit over the ...

Does anybody know how to and have a list of the fault codes for the auto trans in a kzj71?

I thought water would turn it white also, but cant explain what else would turn it black? I have a copy of the service manual thanks for the offer though. I replaced the rear U-joint and oil seal recently but the vibration my have ruined the bearings also. Im hoping to get a 2nd hand transfer case ...

After getting my truck stuck in a large puddle last month my Prado has developed a whining noise and rumbles under acceleration, Ive noticed ive got oil leaking out of the front output of the Transfer case and also the flange has some movement in it. The oil is dark black which I assume is from ...

I managed to get a replacement motor, the resistance of the coil of the new one is 16 ohms.
Swapped to motor over and put a new bearing into the housing and it seems to be working fine.
Might look into rewinding my old one to keep as a spare.

Still copper colored, one magnet was loose, I've re-glued it. Pretty confident my control box is OK, im measuring 12v and 5.5amps of current flowing at the motor end. With the gearbox from the actuator removed and the limit switch shorted to ground it spins in both directions. Its when I put the ...

Mines the rear diff, looks tidy enough on the inside, just a little corrosion and it spins but not going under load. Hopefully I've found a replacement motor though. There are a couple of guys in the states that do write-ups on rewindinding theirs themselves if your interested in the challenge. Does ...

Still looking if theres any around? Even just one for parts?

Hi

Just wondering if anybody has an Elocker actuator or motor out of a KZJ or LJ 70 series prado? I suspect mine is faulty and am keen to swap it out.

Thanks

Im after a replacement winch motor for a Warn XD9000.
Could maybe get away with just a new brush assembly if somebody has one suitable for parts?

Thanks

Has anybody had the bottom of their trucks blasted and recoated underneath?
Looking at getting mine done, any places reccomended in either wellington or chch?
Or anybody have an idea of prices?

Thanks

Im keen to do my Prado also, Id be interested to know how you get on. What truck have you got ZED?

I had an alignment done by Tonys in Chch just before I came back up north. They put one of the tie rod clamps on upside down and was hitting the radius arm anywhere past half lock left hand down. It could be a similar thing on your truck?? I took it into another branch to get it repaired under ...

Do you have the right, rear tail light and indicator?

Replaced the flasher relay today, plugged it in and tested and it blew the fuse, Measured the current flow at 15amps so have obviously got a short circuit somewhere. I think the short circuit has caused the relay to fail, however surprised that it didn't blow the fuse first.

Have checked all the bulbs and fittings, all look good. No LEDS Trailer connector was full of mud, cleaned that out but no luck with that either. Im wondering if perhaps it is the combination switch as when measuring voltages at the flasher relay, there is a constant 12v in and flashing 12v coming ...

Trying to fix the indicators on my Girlfriends car, its a 99 Suzuki Grand Vitara. The left hand indictor works normally as it should, Right hand indicator however has a very brief faint flash then nothing. When hazard lights on both indicators function like the right, brief faint flash then nothing ...

How much for the BFG Dutchy?

I could be interested in one for the right price if somebody else wants the other? What brand? im guessing Chinese?

Is the VSV the electrical plug???

Brilliant thanks, helps a lot

Id like to get rid of it altogether if I can and just blank off the manifolds. It looks like Calvin (kbushnz) in his intercooler mod photos has done this and it it is removed completely. What did you do with the two vacuum hoses and the plug that sit underneath?

Im removing the EGR on my 1KZ, I assume that I can remove this piece in the photo and blank off where it mounts onto the inlet and exhaust manifolds. Pic_0902_031.jpg [*] What do I do with the vacuum hoses that connect to it and also what I assume is the sensor that mounts underneath it? My ...

Tidy truck, did it have a body lift to fit the intercooler under the bonnet?

Brilliant, thanks for the quick reply's, I wondered if I needed to take the turbo off, thought I did, and the manual says to, but can now see how leaving the manifold on will allow it to come off. Thanks, saved me a few hours work. Hopefully rest comes off ok.

Trying to replace the head on my 1KZ, gotten stuck trying to remove the Turbine Outlet Elbow, one of the bolts is rounded off and I cannot remove it, unfortunately its in the back and difficult to get to. Two of the four have had just the nuts come out, one had the stud come out also. The stud is a ...

cheers for the offer Leigh but id prefer to get a new one just to be safe, was the surf intercooled? id quite like to fit a factory intercooler whilst ive got it all apart if its not to much work. Had my belt and water pump done 40k km ago so it should be right for a bit longer I hope. Will inspect ...

Thanks, I had missed that one on TM, Hard to say wether or not they are truly genuine without buying from Toyota.
I live in upper Hutt so may go down to Custom Works if I get a chance. They defiantly seem a lot cheaper than buying just the parts from Toyota
