Awesome job Jake! These vehicles are sent to try us. I had a Toyota Aurion recently with water damage. Nothing was simple and I was left scratching my head at times. I got there in the end. You do a great job explaining your thought process and your diagnostic path. Keep 'em comin' mate! 😉👍
Love the longer series 👍 The more in depth, the better. I’d rather hear you say “read” and learn where to get the information than to watch someone swap parts and say “It’s fixed!” That’s not a real world scenario. Good stuff, man 👌
It is amazing to me that you could find and fix all the problems this car had , I don't know anybody in my area that would even take the time and effort to finally fix all these things , Job well done !
These were great videos with all the problems this vehicle had. Certainly makes you think. You came through and got it back to everything working. I agree with you about what that dealership did to this vehicle and the non warranty. The best part is the next owner will have a great working vehicle. My concern would be if this vehicle was struck by lightning, it'll probably be back with more problems in the future. Time will tell. Very Good One Jake. You need some vacation time after this one!
In my experience once lightning has done its damage that it nothing else later goes bad. Now flood cars is another story, they are never ending and I avoid working on them.
No apologies accepted. You are the one to be thanked. You are taking your time out to make this content. I like your style, learn as you go vs . some others, make you feel they are Einstein, and you are an amoeba.
Normaly on many toyota models just activate tc and te terminal on dlc leave it for 30 minutes and it programs itself with immo and other stuff.you can do it from actuation test from scanner it works for me all the time..cheers and great work
I don't mean this in a bad way, but I do really appreciate when you have a car where you are really challenged. The reason is that's when you really showcase your meticulous diagnostic procedure, which I use as a learning experience to improve my diagnostic procedure. You might say I'm trying to steal the recipe for your secret sauce. Thank you for all the amazing videos. I can't even begin to imagine how much time you put into making them at the level of quality that you do.
Nothing wrong with having multiple series on a car when something major goes wrong because it displays the complexity of today's cars and what mechanics have to go through fix them versus older cars.
I've got a 2011 Ford Transit Connect like you that I use for my mobile mechanic business. Great van. Have a 48" husky toolbox in the back got a real nice setup. 👨🏼🔧
Great videos as always, one request here, could you make a video using the scope from the Maxi sys Ultra, basically how to use it, how to adjust it and everything if it’s not too much to ask. You’re great at explaining things from the mechanic perspective!. I’ve been learning a lot from you, thank you very much!.
Superb video, Jake! Seems this car really got the wrath of the gods :-) Most likely lightning damaged and a bad connector from factory, to complete the lot. Anyway, fully working now. Your extensive details of the procedures, made for a very informative video! Thanks for taking this extra time and effort!
Looking at the AC amplifier diagram-don’t all modern toyotas and cars for that matter use a refrigeration control valve in the compressor? Not a magnetic clutch as labelled in diagram?
Great video series. I like to see the complex issues in a series format. Oh and good detective work on this car. My vote is a lighting strike or other sort of electrical disturbance.
Camry is a legendary car hands down it's SAD how the WRONG these dealerships are doing to these cars today! I grant you this isn't the 1st one that gotten "scrapped" cuz greedy dealers trying to scare you into a new one
that explains why when you shut the door the temp sensor started working. dam those ones are real tricky . have to say that Toyota service data was awesome . man i don’t have that level of service data and i work in a plant 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but i would say they have spent a few million in r&d to get that level of interaction on there data tech awesome for sure . great series on that car really enjoyed watching the proses . and yes sir we all do drop a rickett now and then . if i had a dollar for every time i have been testing the wrong wire or had the metre in the wrong mode i would have retired years ago 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but it’s about your proses check read then double check if something don’t feel right or your not getting what you expect . never trust your service data and never trust your scan tool 😵💫😵💫😵💫 well use it as a guide but not the be all and end all . had some pretty deep rabbit holes in my time following scan tool data 🤣🤣🤣
Dealers hate warranty work! They saw the problem with the wheel speed sensor causing the speedometer and therefore odometer to not record the speed and miles traveled. This gave them an excuse to deny warranty, though officially they blame it on collision damage, their issue with the car was no way no how it had so few miles on it. This enabled them to feel justified in demanding the customer pay them full price to repair it. It isn't right unless they know the car had actually driven a lot of miles with the odometer not recording the true miles.
Toyota will never pay for all the time spent on that car for the financial loss for the tech working on the car. I kind of understand. I do believe he never got paid .Toyota only paids if you find something wrong. That's what happens when you work for a car dealership 😢
DO you like the Topdon scope? I know the topdon compared to a pico is probably not comparable, but since you are using is in a real world situation, do you find the topdon scope more than fine for 95% of the the use case?
Yes and I think just the service information is $45 for 2 days but I buy the full diagnostic software package when I need it $70 for 2 days. I just happened to have an active sub from a different car I did a software update on.
Shipping companies need to get rid of the "ship x number of parcels or you lose money" cause it's causing millions of customers to lose twice as much time having to send back damaged parcels. Maybe make it so that the shipping agent loses even more money for damaged parcels than if they don't ship enough parcels.
Videos like this are why I like you, Ivan and Eric O.
Awesome series! Don’t sweat the long series format, we like ‘em all… Quick diag/fix, long winding paths, it’s all good.
Car from hell,patients of a saint,nice work,thanks for all your work

Very nice, it's always very nice to see the engine running for more than 3 seconds.
It is amazing to me that you could find and fix all the problems this car had , I don't know anybody in my area that would even take the time and effort to finally fix all these things , Job well done !
best video series i have ever watched thanks so much for explaining the way you did helps more than you will ever know
Great video explaining everything

Great diagnosis and repairs.

It was a good series. If you don't have to return the broken alternator, salvage the parts to repair the bad one you removed.

That was great ! I have been messing with an intermittent climate control computer for months. Lots of fantastic tips on this episode alone. Cheers !
What great content I love it. Thanks for the time to share all this info
Great job and video Jake. The struggle is real. Also, Southern English is my native tongue and I understand you clearly. Keep the videos coming
Jake you are one heck of a troubleshooter and one very through and honest technician who tells it like it is . Thank you for sharing . Artie 👍
excellent video and how you explain things, the electrics on any newer cars these are done on the cheaper side of production. good job.
Nothing wrong with having multiple series on a car when something major goes wrong because it displays the complexity of today's cars and what mechanics have to go through fix them versus older cars.
Thank you for sharing with us such a long process. You are honest and straight. As you said, it is starting from scratch. Talent and tolerance is you.
Wow great work and thanks for teaching us all Jake
Thank you for everything
I've got a 2011 Ford Transit Connect like you that I use for my mobile mechanic business. Great van. Have a 48" husky toolbox in the back got a real nice setup. 👨🏼🔧
I have the kobalt box lol. It worked out great being able to take the wheels off and then drill through the bottom and bolt it to the van floor.
Always enjoy systematic, logical explanations, keep up the good work.
Well done! A hard fought battle.
Jake, this one wore me out but so glad to see you persevere in the end. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂

Awesome man thanks for the great diagnostic video!!
What a brilliant mind.
Now, congratulations Dude ... Awesome episodes, and to be honest, well spent time.
Great content.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I have no idea I don't work on many Toyotas.
Well done great video thank you thank you.

really interesting case. in the end are cars like this worth it? to some its yes others.....well ....
That was an epic journey, my money was on lightening or gremlins.🤪
Dealers hate warranty work! They saw the problem with the wheel speed sensor causing the speedometer and therefore odometer to not record the speed and miles traveled. This gave them an excuse to deny warranty, though officially they blame it on collision damage, their issue with the car was no way no how it had so few miles on it. This enabled them to feel justified in demanding the customer pay them full price to repair it. It isn't right unless they know the car had actually driven a lot of miles with the odometer not recording the true miles.
I am sure you were happy to see this one go. Can you share the number of hours to spent as well as the number of hours you billed.
I think my total billed hours was around 15
Toyota will never pay for all the time spent on that car for the financial loss for the tech working on the car. I kind of understand. I do believe he never got paid .Toyota only paids if you find something wrong. That's what happens when you work for a car dealership 😢
You should have sent this car to Scotty Kilmer 😂 so he can make a 12min video while waving his hands. Great series!👌
Because you did the tc learn more than likely if you got more than one remote, only 1 will work. I do believe the vin. Right up is all you need.
Both remotes will still work. It's not reprogrammming keys, just syncing the ECM to the IMMO.
Since it was marked as collision damage why didn't the customer file the claim with insurance?
For insurance to pay they have to have reasonable proof the collision caused the module failures.
DO you like the Topdon scope? I know the topdon compared to a pico is probably not comparable, but since you are using is in a real world situation, do you find the topdon scope more than fine for 95% of the the use case?
Yes in most cases its perfectly fine. The only draw back to it is the power consumption drains the battery of the scan tool fast.
Is that "Toyota tech info" factory sit3 behind a pay wall? How much is it?
Yes and I think just the service information is $45 for 2 days but I buy the full diagnostic software package when I need it $70 for 2 days. I just happened to have an active sub from a different car I did a software update on.
I’m surprised you didn’t just clone the original one?
Really no reason to. It probably would of taken just as long.
Hy sir .... Toyota Corolla 1.3L s maf is over reporting .I change maf 3 time but didn't fix.why maf is at 3g/s instead of 1.6g/s.plz fuel trims -30
Several things can cause this issue.
@@autodiagyt r there can mechinal problem plz point out
Did you check your fuel pressure@@AAA-br3cs
What city/state are you located in?
I have one you can diagnose/repair if not too far away.
North Alabama
@@autodiagyt Southern middle Tennessee here so not as far away as I thought. I'll get in touch via email shortly.
Don't say sorry for the many / long videos. It's what keeps us entertained. Thanks.

Thank you Jake! Excellent follow through!
dealerships now days are scantool mechanics and lube techs.
You’re far far far from an idiot.. I would say close to a genius!!
Its always hard to get the whole story. Following along the story it may also have been a jump start gone wrong.
