Coolant enters in transmission on Toyota Land cruiser?

Take a look at the transmisison dipstick, when water or coolant gets into a transmission it will turn foamy and light colored- very similar to a strawberry milk shake in color and appearance.

Many car users get the coolant system flushed due to this.

As far as flushing the coolint system- you will have this all open when replacing the belt. I recommend you remove the thermostat, turn the key tio "ON" and turn the climate control to HOT setting to open the heater core valve. Then use a garden hose and flush the block and heater core very well via the top hose. Take note that there is a block drain for the cooling system on each side just under the exhaust manifold on each side, it has a 10mm jam bolt to plug the drain cock.

On the older Landcruisers NO there is no other point of these fluids interchanging. On the newer ones (2005 and up) there is a coolant line to the trans so the radiator is going to be your issue here. I have to be honest with you that I have NEVER seen that happen on the landcruiser/LX470 from this year range with a factry brand radiator....very odd indeed. You did not reply back to me yesterday to indicate if you have signs of transmission contamination or not, if you do have this issue I highly recommend you drain the fluid, drive it, then hook up a flush machine to the transmission, drive again and then drain/fill again. These can be a real nightmare to clean out. The transmissions on the 1999-2003 have known issues anyway so you do not want to give this transmission another reason to act up.

This details will help.

Thanks.

Transmission shifting problem on Toyota Land cruiser?

http://schematicsdiagram.blogspot.com/2012/01/transmission-shifting-problem-on-toyota.html

Engine stumbles and shuts off in forward gear on Toyota Land Cruiser?

Its a common problem,noticed on many Toyota car drivers.

It is possible that the transmission is acting up in drive and doing some things with the torque converter locing up and other things that will casue some stalling o stumbling for a second or two. Also it is possible that the EGR is failing.

Also in some cases the problem is engine harness being shorted out on the egr feeder tube from exhaust (buried underneath firewall)...this grounds out two wires when engine is hot and slight movement [right turn/moving off from a stop] these wires causes shutting down the engine only when car was in drive mode.

Try troubleshooting as described below :--------

You may have a problem wiht the EGR system on the toyota. Have you had it checked for OBD or fault codes? They can often help track things down. I will try to give you testing for the EGR system after the procedure to get the codes.

Toyota Trouble Code Info

96 & later are OBD2 systems and require a scantool
Note: We are finding that some 94 & 95 Toyota vehicles are
OBD2 compliant and require a scan tool.
Check your emissions decal under the hood to confirm
if you have an OBD2 compliant vehicle.

See the diagram shown below:-------

RETRIEVING CODES for vehicles before 96

NOTE: Not all trouble codes will activate MIL (CHECK ENGINE light)

Before proceeding, make sure the:
CHECK ENGINE light circuit is functional. It should be ON when the ignition switch is ON with the engine stopped.
Battery voltage is above 11 volts.
Throttle valve is fully closed (Throttle Position Sensor IDL points closed).
Accessory switches (A/C, etc.) are OFF.
Engine is at normal operating temperature (if possible).
Turn ignition switch to ON position.
Do not start the engine.
Place a jumper wire across TEl and El terminals in engine check connector.
Count number of flashes from CHECK ENGINE light.
If system is operating normally (with no detected faults), the CHECK ENGINE light will blink continuously
and evenly about 2 times a second.
Otherwise, the light will blink a number of times equal to the trouble code as follows:
The light blinks only (.5 second ON, .5 second OFF) when indicating a number.
The light will be OFF for 1.5 seconds between the first digit and the second digit of the code.
If more than one code is stored, the light will be OFF for 2.5 seconds before the next code is displayed.
Once all code(s) have been displayed, the light will be OFF for 4.5 seconds and then the whole sequence will repeat.
The diagnostic code series will continue to repeat as long as the check connecter terminals TEl and El are connected.
When finished, remove the jumper wire.
After repairing the malfunction, clear the codes from the ECUs memory.To test this you may need to rent a vacumn gage from a parts store. Most will rent them for free with a deposit.

1FZ-FE Engines

1.Check the filter in the EGR modulator for contamination and clean using compressed air.
2.Using a 3-way connector, connect a vacuum gauge inline between the valve and vacuum pipe.
Check that the engine starts and idles smoothly.For accurate system testing, the coolant temperature should be below 117°F (47°C).

3.Accelerate the engine to 2500 rpm and verify that the vacuum gauge reads 0 in. Hg.

4.Check that the EGR pipe is not hot.For accurate test results, the engine coolant temperature must now be above 127°F (53°C)

5.Check that the vacuum gauge reads low vacuum at 2500 rpm.

6.Disconnect the vacuum hose from port R of the EGR vacuum modulator and connect port R directly to the intake manifold.

7.Check that the vacuum reading is high at 2500 rpm. As large amounts of vacuum enters the engine, the engine idle quality may be adversely affected.
8.Remove the vacuum gauge and reconnect the vacuum hoses in their original locations.

9.Apply vacuum directly to the EGR valve with the engine at idle.

10.If the EGR valve is operating properly, the engine should misfire, run rough and possibly stall. Reconnect the vacuum hoses in their proper locations.

This details will help.

Thanks.

Car hard shift at slow speeds?

http://technoanswers.blogspot.com/2012/01/car-hard-shift-at-slow-speeds.html

Transmission problem?

Gear not shifting,transmission stuck,gear slips etc etc problems are basically noticed.

If this transmission has a problem all the time, it's likely mechanical and inside the transmission.

If you have an intermittant problem, it's probably electrical.

This system runs on tiny electrical currents. So water in a connector will cause caos.

I put dielectric grease in every connector when I put something together. This displaces the water and eliminates corrosion. I have never had a problem with a connection after doing this. Plus two or three years from now, you can get the connections apart without a crow bar.

So I would recommend that you take apart the TPS connector, speed sensor connector, solenoid connector, OD switch connector, and neutral start switch connector and grease them up. But only use dielectric grease. Any good auto parts store has it. One tube will last 15 years.

This details will help.

Transmission shifting problem on Toyota Land cruiser?

The two things that I think could be causing this and the information might help you figure out where to go from here.

The throttle position sensor (TPS) tells the computer how much throttle you are giving the engine. This information is used to control shifting. The TPS is like a volume control on a radio. You've probably experienced an old radio with a scratchy volume control. You move the knob an little bit and the sound goes from nothing to blasting you out of the house. When a TPS fails, it's the same thing. The computer thinks you don't have your foot on the pedal, then it looks like you've floored it. But you were just moving the pedal slowly.

The computer sends signals to the shift solenoids in the transmission to determine which gear to put the transmission in. But when a solenoid sticks, you get the wrong gear. Here is the way they should work:

Solenoid 1 on, solenoid 2 off = 1st gear

Solenoid 1 on, solenoid 2 on = 2nd gear

Solenoid 1 off, solenoid 2 on = 3rd gear

Solenoid 1 off, solenoid 2 off = 4th gear.

So if solenoid 1 was sticking, the truck wouldn't start in low gear, it would start in 4th then shift to third.

Those are the two most likely problems that could cause shifting problems on your truck.

This details will help.

Hyundai coupe f2 hazard fault?

It can be problem with fuse or relay or the switch.

Fuse #4 - 10amp controls the hazard lights.

Fuse #9 - 10amp controls the indicators & reverse lights.

Relay #6 is for indicators / Hazards.

If these check out OK, then using a volt meter check you are getting power to the relay, and a switched earth from the stalk,

Try moving the hazard switch from left to right, with indicator on, switch could be at fault.

This details will help.
