Agreed. That one works in my 2003 2.4L.

The first step is to get the P-Code causing the MIL illumination. You need to get an JOBD reader. The Ancel JP700 is pretty much guaranteed to work.

Thanks for this. Do you mean you bought them direct from a local Toyota dealer?

You might try earlier versions - I use v14.30.23 for 2005 hybrid- could just be a case of finding the correct version that suits your vehicle.

Many thanks. I'll certainly give that a try.

I bought Techstream v18 with MVCI cable off eBay and wanted to share my (rather limited) success.

I am able to connect by selecting 0205-0401 (May 2002 to Jan 2001). It reads DTCs and live data* from only 3 ECUs: Engine, ABS and Immobilizer. This in itself is not surprising for a 20 year old car where there is no CAN bus. I think diagnostics for anything other than emissions related ECUs was in its infancy.

*Even with the Engine ECU, I can read data but only one snapshot. After a few seconds I get a dialogue saying lost communication with vehicle with error code 0xA1050308:

The error logs don't really give much detail.

1) Has anybody encountered this "Lost comms with vehicle" for any Alphard MY? Have you solved it please?

2) Has anybody with an 2002/2003 2.4L vehicle been able to communicate with ECUs other than the ones listed above?

Thank you very much.

replying to my own thread.  all issues resolved

 

Ancel JP700 correctly read the codes which pointed  to MAF sensor; I replaced that with a Denso MAF and now everything runs well.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

Thanks for following up and letting people know what the resolution was. I too use the Ancel model you mention. I've had not much success with Techstream but will post separately on that.

Anyone know where the fuel pump fuse is?

The fuel pump itself is fuse 8 (EFI) 15A in the engine bay but the fuel pump relay is in the passenger side cabin fuse box, fuse 22, IGN, 10A.

More fuse info here:

That's good advice, thank you. Seat belts it is then.

In our rear conversion camper, one thing that’s not quite right for us is the bed arrangements. We use the two middle seats opened out as shown in the photos below. The issue with these is that we have to carry foam fillers to level out the seats and meet the height of the kitchen bench padding. The foam is bulky and a bit of a pain.

One idea I had was to replace the two Toyota seats with a bench seat, i.e. with flat foam padding. I guess it can be described as a 2/3’s rock n roll bed. The bench seat would always face backwards and attach to the existing moveable rails so the seat can be slid backwards and forwards. We don’t carry passengers in the seats so seat belts not needed.

Has anybody come across such a bench seat that might work as described please?

Many thanks.

Have you tested all the other fuses?

This is the cheapest I could find.

Thanks all, this is helpful. I think the issue was just that it had been idle for six months though because after a few days of driving short distances the lights all went off and stayed off on a long 250 mile drive from Kent to Yorkshire so I'm hoping that was all it was!

Good to know it's gone. Mine is a camper and I usually take it for a drive every four weeks or so even during off season. Will help prevent your issue and others I imagine.

Here's a collection of engine workshop materials for both 2.4L and 3.0L (1MZ-FE) this time from the Camry:

Strange though. Doesn't look like a typical drain plug. Hmmm....

On second thoughts this looks like the the oil sump pan. I thought the close-up showed a red tint to the fluid which would be transmission but no.

Here's the picture from the Camry 3.0L Service Manual:

Red oil light comes on

The red light is oil pressure warning rather than oil level. You could have full oil but low pressure due to oil pump failure for example. I wouldn't drive it any further until you've confirmed it is the pressure sensor.

Orange engine management light comes on after short drive. Does go off temporarily when vehicle has stopped but comes back.

When you say "go off" you mean after you've cycled the ignition? The MIL, once illuminated, should not extinguish by itself unless you cycle the ignition. If the fault still remains it will come back on.

The 2.4L shares an engine with the RAV4 so thought these links might come in handy:

forgive my ignorence what is a maf thanks for all your responce.

Mass Air Flow sensor. It's just downstream of the air filter.

Yes a scanner is essential equipment.

The Ancel JP700 JOBD code reader works with my 2003 model for P-codes so I'm sure it will work with yours.

Maybe ask the seller of this item to give you first refusal on the next RHS glass they have available:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204153728059

Ditto. It shouldn't be losing any coolant.

Assuming you don't have a head gasket leak (mayo on dipstick), I've found a leak detection dye useful in the past:

You can get a kit with a UV torch too.

Perhaps not a direct answer but if you put in Camry 2003 Petrol 2.4 into Eurocarparts it offers you DENSO and NGK options that should fit since it's the same engine AFAIK.

I should think they all come pre-gapped these days.
