Best ODB II Scanner for Alphard?
Geralt replied to davidd220823's topic in Toyota Alphard Club Forum (2002 - 2008)
I believe it is intended to be plugged in contnuously. I think these devices only work with OBD data. The list of PIDs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II_PIDs) does not include economy in mpg. It does however have a fuel rate in litres per hour and odometer reading. Assuming your vehicle supports these PIDs, it will be the app receiving this data that will make a fuel economy calculation for you if it even has that as an option, I'm not sure. Are you looking to monitor and adjust your driving style to minimise fuel consumption? You could just look at L/hr in that case. -
Best ODB II Scanner for Alphard?
Geralt replied to davidd220823's topic in Toyota Alphard Club Forum (2002 - 2008)
Possibly. Depends if the AFS control module is connected to the diagnostic system. My 2003 van for example will only talk to ECM and ABS via K-Line. However your later model might have most of the modules available over CAN. If so, it should have a logged DTC which will help you diagnose the problem. -

That model doesn't have video out but the website says you can buy an adapter: https://xtrons.co.uk/universal-double-din-android-12-octa-core-2gb-ddr4-ram-32gb-rom-te124 -
Dead startup battery
Geralt replied to Patricia Ingram's topic in Alphard Club Members Introductions
You say newish but how long is that? Is this a camper conversion with leisure battery and split charge relay? Anyway, to eliminate the battery as the cause disconnect the earth over night after driving for 20 mins or so. Reconnect in the morning. Check that the battery starts the van. Next, leave the battery connected after charging and remove engine bay fuses. One per evening to see when the problem stops. -
06 Alphard ....radiator drain plug leak ?
Geralt replied to Notabongo's topic in Toyota Alphard Club Forum (2002 - 2008)
Medium. Here's the RAV4 manual says about it: https://www.trav4.net/radiator-545.html I think at the very least you need some hose clamp pliers. -

There doesn't seem to be any video out on the label. Can you tell me the XTRONS model so I can find the manual? -
Right side steering wheel buttons.
Geralt replied to Voodoo101's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
Any spare GND on any connector on the head unit will do. -

2 is ILLumination DETection. i.e. This input triggers the illumination of your head unit when you've switched on your vehicle lights. Not 100% sure but 4 is an output to an active antenna amplifier. Just checking. The XTRONS label you posted is the new HU you're installing, right? When you asked the question originally, I thought you didn't have the pin out information but since you do you can just ignore my picture. -

Geralt replied to Voodoo101's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
@smurf is right. You've got to connect SWG (Green) to GND. Any spare GND on any connector on the head unit will do. Then don't forget to program the switches in head unit settings. -

I'm not so sure now. @Voodoo101 thinks that volume etc comes over CAN. I don't think I'm helping here so think I'll bail. You need to find someone with Gen 2 experience. Sorry. -

Geralt replied to Sorin's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
I tried lookin for Gen 2 wiring diagrams but could not find them. I can only advise what I found out for my Gen 1 in the hope that it might be the same/similar on yours. The SWC button resistor ladder is connected like this: Where for you SWC1 = KEY-1 etc.....probably. So I would look for Yellow/Black, Brown/Yellow and Red/Yellow wires coming from the right hand side of the centre console. The J10 connector looked like this: If you can get the wiring diagrams, you can identify the wire colours. -

No, they don't. The early Gen 1 Alphard doesn't. Your 2012 van does of course. -

Sorry, that's garbage. I do have guidelines but they don't move for reasons mentioned above. My older van doesn't have CAN anyway. -

I don't have any guidelines on my HU camera. -

Geralt replied to Sorin's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
The guidelines issue would not be fixed by connecting 6 and 7. The KEY inputs (6 and 7) only connect the SWC buttons, volume etc. It is not for steering wheel position as far as I know which is most likely transmitted over CAN. Is connector C in use? I will update about 6 and 7 later. -

So they are pins 6 and 7? Just making sure. -

Hi Sorin, The two 2SW wires you mention, can you confirm which pin numbers they go to and what their colours are? The photo is not clear enough for me. -

Head Unit Replacement
Geralt replied to Steve81's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
There's possibly no plug and play solution but if your handy with electrics you could start with one of these but be prepared to cut and solder where needed: https://uk.vicedeal.com/products/16-pin-for-toyota-iso-wiring-harness-car-radio-adaptor-connector-wire-plug-kit -
Engine warning light
Geralt replied to philip klein's topic in Toyota Alphard Club Forum (2002 - 2008)
Don't turn ignition off. Read the code while the light is illuminated. Sounds odd but in this case it doesn't matter. The P code meaning is the same for any brand. The important things is that you've got the code. I guess you need to remove the EGR valve, clean it and check again. If the code comes back you probably need to replace the valve. -
Dot3 brake fluid

You live and learn! Thank you for the info. -
If the EML comes on there must be a DTC when it is illuminated. Can you stop the car when it comes on then connect your scanner without switching off ignition?
