Car Scanner app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ovz.carscanner

I wouldn't spend more than necessary on an OBD reader. If you have an Android phone, get one of these for a few quid and the free 'Car Scanner' app from Play Store. It helped me solve a number of problems on Jap import motors over the years, but crucially a mis-wired O2 sensor, knock sensor and MAP sensor issue on my 2002 Alphard. Good luck, let us know how you get on. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ELM-327-Bluetooth-BT-OBD2-OBDII-Car-Diagnostic-Scanner-Code-Reader-Tool-Android-/383711223971?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

Update: I have temporarily bypassed the second knock sensor and found that the previous 'mechanic' had wired the O2 sensor up wrong. Been quoted for the knock sensor/loom replacement but may as well do plugs/cam cover etc. at the same time as intake manifold needs to come off. I have cleared codes and it seems to be behaving itself, fingers crossed!

Had a mildly scary experience today where EML started flashing and car stalled whilst accelerating. 2002 V6. Started again immediately after switching ign off and on again. EML light was on, so pulled codes (see attached). Done a lot of reading this afternoon, lots of guides/docs on replacement of knock sensor for Camry etc. Has anyone tackled this job themselves, was it manageable, or who has bitten the bullet and gotten Toyota specialist/local whiz to do it and rough £££? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Many thanks, stretched the budget a bit and picked up a 2002 FWD V6. Few niggles, but will post in another section. Thanks for your help

Hi all, in the market for an Alphard and have one relatively local, the spec I'm after however high mileage at 221k. It's within budget, and MOT history looks clean. Does high mileage scare you off? Anything I should be looking out for? Thanks all
