  1. Fog relay fuse.pdf The relay you need is identical to the 'STCut relay' (Same part number) that is in the same relay/fuse block, I got the part number from the Toyota EPC, but my local shops didnt have it by that part number, a mechanic was in the shop at the time, he was able to recognise the relay just from the photo and pin arrangement on that PDF, he had a scrap peugeot on his trailer and gave me one of the relays from that for free, its a common relay type, so should not be hard to find for info: https://toyota.epc-data.com/alphard/ggh20w/63376/electric/8401/85916L/
  2. https://www.jauce.com/auction/k1038214245 https://www.jauce.com/auction/t1010370578 These are for 10 series - they both appear to have reflex reflector properties and lighting - one part is a private seller,and the other is available on bulk.
  3. im sure the units ben installs have 2 usb inputs for storage, he wont give exact model details of the GVIF box he is using, though, which I can understand from a business point of view, but its irritating as hell, there would be alot more custom for him if he was more unfront, as from all my digging into the costs of the various gvif boxes and the wiring looms means he is not making much profit at all, at most he is making £80 per install. attached is a type of interface box that sits between the exisiting park assist box and the headunit, you then feed an android box in to this (as well as any other video source) I think he has a box that has the android portion integrated CI-VL2-GVIF.pdf
  4. Gosh, if I hadnt just recently got my 2010 alphard last October, i'd bite your hand off to get this.
  5. 2008 onwards (may be the same as earlier?) Rubbers install.pdf Rubbers removal.pdf
  6. Is that a 20 series 2008 vehicle? the wiring diagrams are coded EM08Z5E You can get PDF copies of them here: https://cardiagn.com/toyota-alphard-vellfire-em08z5e-em2441e-wiring-diagrams/ Even has the plug diagrams. Earlier models *may* use the same colouring scheme, I'm not sure if the looms are as identicle.
  7. Not an expert on Hybrids, from what I understand, if the hybrid system has been functioning optimally back in Japan, i.e. it has been utilising the electric motors the majority of the time, it is possible that the cooling system for the battery is not working as it should - you may need to get access to the fan blower that keeps the battery/aux battery cool - if these reach a certain temperature, it will cut off the hybrid system. Coupled to this, is the loading of the Electric motors, could reduce the loading on the petrol engine - what condition are the spark plugs in?, and potentially the operation of the catalytic convertor at reduced heat levels could require it to be cleaned. I got this info from: https://www.fixmycar.pk/toyota-alphard-hybrid-e-four-2/ I think there may be some diagnostic info in the online maintenance manual I posted up a few days ago (its in japanese though)
  8. Using the Japanese manaul i found online, this page details disassembly: http://fsm.japanclassic.ru/toyota/2002.5_7a037_alphard_anh1,mnh1/x339/servinfo/x33900001ap000k_base.html and http://fsm.japanclassic.ru/toyota/2002.5_7a037_alphard_anh1,mnh1/x339/servinfo/x33900000ci000a_base.html
  9. AH, forgot the main thing... The website link.. I hope this helps someone, the main page has 5 coloured tabs at top, I think the 1st just reloads, 2nd is maintenance manual, DTC error code diagnostics etc, 3rd is feature list/instructions, 4th is wiring, 5th is engine/gearbox disassembly/rebuild. http://fsm.japanclassic.ru/toyota/2002.5_7a037_alphard_anh1,mnh1/x339/index2.html The original source appears to be from a technicians CD, if anyone wants to help dig to find out how to use this site better, or find the original source, thats great!
  10. Anyone that knows me, will know I am a furious Googler. I know that it is almost impossible to find decent workshop manuals for the 10 series (1st Gen alphands) I have some news, I found something online, contains wiring diagrams, maintenance instructions, tracking measurements, etc etc. Bad news, its in Japanese, partially good news, you can use Chrome browser to auto translate chuncks of it. Example: Of Course, the diagrams are images, so do not auto translate, but you could submit these as an image search or use mobile phone camera to translate If anyone wants to try navigating this site, even with the minor issue of language, the diagrams themselves would prove useful, I think. Boot removal to access lamps, example:
  11. I saw a youtube video on changing this switch - I think I recall that there are actually 2 switchs, one is for the break lights, one activates the selonoid that releases the gearshift and allows engine to start
  12. Yep, side curtains running the length of both sides, also an additional 4 (i think) shock sensors mounted in centre and rear of car to assess impact velocity to trigger bags. I imagine a smack hard enough to trigger the side bags would probably write off the vehicle anyway, but you will probably get shards of furniture flying about dependant on the quality of the install. I imagine the conversion costs would have to take this in to account, to remove the bags and deactivate them from the system, probably would need to downgrade the SRS ECM to prevent it whining about the missing bags, and activating the warning indicator on dash. I think you'd have to really love the facelift and some of the modern electronics to make the 20series worthwhile. For me, the occasional rollmat if I need to catch some zzzz in the alphard is sufficient.
  13. private import? if so, I know there are dealers selling copies the certs on ebay
  14. Link to GTS (Global techstream) document with ECU/ECM firmware update instructions: https://www.toyota-tech.eu/td/ditabulletin/index.aspx?link=fi9OR0J1bGxldGluL0ctMDAwMlQtVE1DRU4vaW5kZXguaHRtbA%3d%3d
  15. Techstream will communicate with the 30 series, its a standard tool on newer Alphards (2008 onwards) as well as most JDM Toyotas since around 2006 You would be well advised to just buy the connection lead/adaptor and a copy of techstream from ebay, should be under $50 AUS. I can even provide a link to the software pre-setup in a virtual machine, so no faffin about with drivers and software install/registration/compatibility with newer versions of Windows OS. In this way, even if you are not comfortable with diagnosis, you can bring a laptop with you to the service technician and show the status with a tool that actually works
  16. Quick check on ebay, you can buy the complete arm and wiper for under £20. These look identical to the factory fitted ones.
  17. You sure its missing? Is your alphard 1st gen? on 2008 onwards, the rear wiper is fitted under the roof spoiler, i remember 1st viewing mine and drawing air in over teeth, because I thought the rear wiper was not fitted, but then spotted it when checking the 3rd brake light was functioning (and the fact the wiper controller inside had 'rear' controls too)
  18. Try also switching off auto 4wd and traction controls if you have the buttons to do so, limit the monitoring ECUs to try and limit the scope of the electronics that are preventing car from moving.
  19. No one replied to this post to say if the problem was resolved, thats a shame. For a start, try disconnecting power to any speedo electronic convertors, to rule out the combination meter readings being a problem. How long have you had vehicle? DTC P0500 diagnosis.pdf I also attach diagnosis flow for an engine DTC P0500, as this appears to be the code mentioned in previous messages
  20. if you get the chassis number you can get a carvx report done for about £15 - it will tell you the official regulated auction milage at point of sell in Japan
  21. what gen alphard? On the 20series, I know that you can set via the buttons mentioned above, there is also setting in techstream to set the amount of dimming at night relative to the day setting.
