Warning light comes on when you still have plenty of fuel to prevent overheating of the pump. Brimming it is more of an issue, as you flood the evap canister.

Inside headlight hid lens loose
Chris.ac replied to Opal's topic in Toyota Alphard (08-15) Technical Guides
Wait until it's dark, park with lights facing a wall, switch off car, make sure the light stalk is set to lights on. Start up engine, you should see both lights move up down and left right to auto adjust. If that loose over does not move, then maybe someone has used too much force during a bulb change. -
Not difficult, remove a couple of screws from black cover under the drivers footwell. Remove the plastic kick panel on the right side, held on by one plastic thumbscrew. You'll reveal a few screws holding the lower dash panel, undo, and pull from the door side, you'll see the etc unit, disconnect the larger plug that powers it.

OEM Parts number Alphard
Chris.ac replied to MalikToyota's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
After you select Toyota, it does a check of the browser to make sure you're not a robot. But it then proceeds as normal. What browser are you using? Does it have ad blockers or code blockers on it? I just tried 2 mins ago and it worked fine using chrome on android -
I'm not sure a simple map update would be of much use. I believe the hardware is not setup to receive the frequencies of the European gps, vs the qzss frequency of Japanese satellites

That app does not work on the 20 series Alphard, the system is not Toyota2 as used in euro spec vehicles.

Its supposed to move. Its part of the AFS. The lights move sideways during cornering. Read up about the electrical systems here https://slideplayer.com/slide/10248235/ -
Tein Height Control Advice Please
Chris.ac replied to dave1066's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
Its suggest emailing Tein. They have an email link on their page. https://www.tein.co.jp/e/products/hybrid_wagon.html -
Projector is an S type, reflector lens is an R type Attach a photo of the headlamp for clarification
-
Those are not Toyota fitted. Previous owner has modified or rerouted connectors
-
Oh, that's different to mine. Mine actually counts in Japanese and has a zero volume with two separate buttons for increase and decrease. Do you have original headunit? As that also has an etc mute setting.
-
That centre console contains the hybrid battery pack, and some of the electrics for the management and cooling are under the seats. You might not be able to do what you are trying to do without serious modification
-
It should work, as i think all the 20 series have the integrated etc with volume controls. If not i can share the disassembly instructions
-
turn off the notifications by using the volume controls on the etc itself. You can also just disconnect the wiring at the back - just undo the panel, starting with the panel under the dash - you could also then remove it, but what for? youll just end up with a gap in the small storage unit.

Annoying cable bugging me
Chris.ac replied to Voodoo101's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
ODO.pdf Here is the wiring for the low spec headunit. Its like i said, there are a few connectors for different headunit specs, the fact it was not hidden away suggests a previous owner changed headunit, or was using it for some aftermarket purpose. A handy switched live wire? -

Chris.ac replied to Voodoo101's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
Its for the low spec (4 speaker, no external amplifier) headunit. Red 12v is ignition on sense, black is actually speed signal (to adjust the volume when speed increases, u should see it change voltage if in motion) and you rightly state the other red and blue are reverse and parking brake The connector is referred to as F5 in the ODO wiring schematic. There would have been an additional 12v battery (for headunit memory/clock) and 12v supply from the radio fuse provided via a different connector -

The are a few taped up connectors hidden in the dash, there were several headunit types, that's all. -

Antennas. The 2 port is am/fm. The 4 port will be for TV -
Replacing head unit
Chris.ac replied to Laurence's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
You can rewire so the speaker connections bypass the amp and connect directly to the new headunit with integrated amp. TC has a YouTube channel with lots of alphard maintenance and upgrades, as well as a video of him fitting headunit and bypassing amp https://youtu.be/Vk96sLaVA88?si=r6U7WFWHxVHWTBL_ -
It's also in the official Toyota others manual.

I agree with smurf. New cap is cheap. If it is not sealing, you are reducing the boiling point and losing coolant. Check by loosely wrapping a clean white cloth around the overflow and cap on the reservoir, then checking for pink/red after a drive. You could also have a hairline crack on the reservoir then expands when hot
-
E10 is fine. You can check similar engines in other Toyota models. JDM Toyotas are manufactured to be compatible with even higher E values. The RON rating is more important to prevent preignition in the more powerful engines.
