+yourbeekeeper Well I'm having trouble with my heat distribution. The heat blows hot through the defrost outlets and the dash outlets but not so much through the feet outlets. Thinking it might be the little knobs on the dash. Watcha think?
Well.... these Toyotas have cable driven doors. I get strong air flow through my foot vents. It's possible a duct has become dislocated to your lower vents...maybe an aftermarket stereo installation has knocked the ductwork loose? In an '89 toyota pickup I had, the mice would get into the ducts and clog them up with all the debris they made their nests with...that was a complete pain in the neck to get it cleared out...it required removal of the glove compartment and dash control. You should be able to look up under the dash from the passenger side and see where the cables attach to the duct doors. have someone operate the mixer knob and verify the door is fully swinging. Also you can run the fan at full speed while set on the foot position and feel around the ducting under the dash for air leaks.
Thanks alot for posting it really worked. I noticed my temperature gauge stopped working on my 1995 Toyota Corolla and suspected it was the sensor that had gone bad and i watched your video and it confirmed my suspicions when i checked it for myself. I replaced the sensor and now my car dash board is back to normal.
yipeee! you got that check engine light out! It's one of those instructions on Toyota manual and I can still recall performing what you just shared here. Nowadays OBD scanners come in various types and even wireless. But this old stuff is the one I missed because they are cheap compared to what are sold these days. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!
I agree with you completely, My local stores have also lost their sense of customer service and knowledgeable counter people. They know nothing about cars, and only know what their computer prompts them to ask...I can get that from my own computer and never have to leave the house.
This is just a great video man! I have a 1998 Tacoma 4X4 2.7L and was wondering how if I ever needed to check my trouble codes how to do it. I’m sure it’s the same way as my 98. I’m totally with you on the “brick and mortar store” especially when I live out in the pacific. Wish I was as historical as you in my videos. Aloha and take care Stay warm
I'm not all that familiar with Toyotas; I own GM vehicles. Toyotas are usually so reliable that I don't have to work on them very often! But I'm having trouble with my Grandpa's old truck and I truly appreciate you walking us through a code-read and fix. Thank you very much for this excellent video! I do wish you sounded those Cadillac horns for us though.
I love how he shows us with VIDEO where he shops, but the AI isn't smart enough yet to catch what he's showing. It is smart enough to recognize what he's talking about!
Hey Ray, That online place has never let me down in the five or six years I have ben buying from them. If the prices were close, I would have bought it from the store, but this was miles apart by comparison. Thanks for watching My Friend, I appreciate it!
Thank you! I think your '98 has the obd2 (on board diagnostic 2) series port on it. If it does, the paperclip does not work (to be best of my knowledge) but you can buy a handheld scanner on eBay for about $20 (search obd2 scanner). I have worked with this hand held scanner and it works well for the non-professional mechanic.
thanks alot for your video, its really great, ive had trouble with my xj cherokee jeep but now i have fixed it from watching your video so thanks again for your video your sincerely Gavin Wilson Australia
Those bad sensors had everything messed up. I was very happy it came off as easily as it did...I was prepared with the big guns if I needed it. The bolted flange makes it easier to remove and replace for sure. These sensors thread into that flange, and the flange bolts to the pipe.
Your truck is new enough to be obd2 and the still don't they narrow down which sensor is bad, so if you throw an o2 sensor code, you have to replace all four...That stinks. I have used this parts place for five or six years and have been a very good company to deal with. Thanks for watching!
You can buy a Pigtail that connects OBD 1 to OBD 2 so you can use a Scan tool. eBay, $20. If use a Paperclip, try find the Coated ones, peel off coating on ends, so won't short out if touch something. Precaution 😀
I remember the paperclip days lol. I actually have a sun pro code scanner that I got in a box o junk from a yard sale last summer, if you want it. just pay the shipping
OK by doing the paperclip thing for the gas engine light? What else can you do for all the other sensors that’s going out and fuses and paper clips? Where do you put the paper at for any other sensor that went out
really enjoyed watching this video, very informative and with your sense of humor I was able to watch without falling asleep... too bad I don't have a Toyota, I have a Pontiac Aztek and both service vehicle soon and service engine lights up. ugh....
+Yessie Villanueva Thanks Yessie, if that Aztek is an obd1 you can read the flashing light same as this vehicle, just have to search how which port on the plug to jump. GM keys are available online to get the meaning of the flashes. Svc lights are also reset-able by a key sequence...information also available online. if it's obd11, inexpensive redears are availble at places like Harbor Freight or eBay...both lights can be defined and reset with them.
your video was of valuable assistance in trouble shooting my experience with the dreaded 'check engine' (idiot) light. Also found your 'car side manners' to be enjoyable as you 'progressed' along from start to finish. Have subscribed and hope your other videos will also be of assistance as well. Keep On Film'n...
Only if the '92 is obd1. if it has has the obd2 series port on it, the paperclip does not work (to be best of my knowledge) but you can buy a handheld scanner on eBay for about $20 (search obd2 scanner). I have worked with this hand held scanner and it works well for the non-professional mechanic.
Cool Vid man. Thanks. My CE light always comes on with just the key on but goes out after engine start. Unless of course it was on while running before. I note you had almost no gas in the tank when your started this video but had 3/4 tank after the fix. so, in short this start up after the fix was not the first start up after the fix? See where I'm going with this? OR did you happen to add gas to the tank before your first start up? Oh, and you were so spot on with not even considering breaking apart that exhaust flange. That is one bucket of worms you Do Not want to open.
Hey Rick, This video was shot in two segments... the light determination was one day, and the actual replacement of the sensors was done almost a week later.
My 1987 Nissan Pathfinder had a similar procedure; the ECU was mounted under the passenger's seat, and the code(s) would flash using a set of LEDs on the ECU itself.
Awesome! You are 2nd video I watched on this, you are best. Really like that you gave all info on where to get the book & the parts, although you jump around subjects a bit, you are very entertaining, no waste of time on bull...excellent! all parts of video very instructive. ....Both videos forgot to say "Don't forget to remove the clip" I assume the clip is removed directly after you read the code....? 1 real question: Where do you find info on which slots to put paper clip in the reader?
gcNewd Thanks for watching, Yes, once the code is read you can remove the clip. The service book that I talked about on this video tells where to put the paper clip.
I enjoyed your video. My son has a 1995 Toyota truck with the SR 6 cyl engine. Now I'll see what that pesky yellow light has been telling us. I hope you are still making video's. If I can offer a suggestion, when showing the sensor locations, slowly move in on them so we can better see where they live. Best Regards...
DAMN ! I almost had a heart attack !! those parts were made in the USA !!...I bet now they are made in China...loved the comedy routine...lol...gave you a thumbs up for that and the rest good is too
I like local brick and mirror also, but most of the time these days online is cheaper. Local stores need to learn to adapt and be more competitive with online stores.
Gotta try this in my grandma's 4runner. She keeps getting intermittent CEL. Cane take a truck into the shop, only to have the CEL not be lit or turn off right before you get there, lol.
The vehicle computer will store the CEL code. Even if the light is off, you can still read the stored code, either with a reader or with the paper clip/light counting method. If you don't have a manual you can google the flash count and find the info. Best of luck with the diagnosis...if we're a betting man, I would bet your code is a bad oxygen sensor.
yourbeekeeper I figured it was sensor related also because it's a 21 year old truck and sensors can go bad. It won't be the cat, it's pretty new after someone stole the other one 4 years ago right off the truck. I did run the codes and got 4 of them; lean fuel mix, rich fuel mix, ignition, and TPS. Pretty much pointing to O2 or ignition system. I didn't know how old those codes were so I reset the codes by removing a fuse, according to manual, and have driven the vehicle around a few days. Now only 1 code is showing for a lean/fuel from the O2 sensor. Gonna give it a few more days of driving to make sure that's the only code really remaining and then proceed with the repair.
Damn right! I do the obd1's that way all the time. I have a cheapo pocket scanner for the obd2 stuff...man do I miss the days of carburetors and cars without every friggin piece of modern technology known to man shoved in the dash and console...sigh.....
will this work for a golf GT TDI 04? my engine light is showing and my garage won't give me a straight answer ? says its the throttle body or cooling fan... he did some work to it and it misfires now
I don't think so, your 04 is an OBD II and I am not aware of a code reading hack on those systems. Most chain autopart stores lend tools and will lend you a scanner or scan it right in the parking lot. at least that way you can see exactly what code you are dealing with and can research how to correct the issue.
To attempt to save $$ try to clean the sensors w wire brush and either carb cleaner or brake cleaner sensors get dirty but rarely completely fail cleaning works usually and if it doesn't your only out a little time and save money
I would have put new nuts on the fittings. but an argument can be made that the truck will be sold or junked by the time the next set of O2 sensors has to be installed.
If I tell you how much I paid out to Repair Shops over the last 39 years (me a Landscaper without mechanical know how) your cost might appear insignificant. I tallied it up and it came to the cost of a 2013 one ton diesel truck (loaded) or a 2013 100HP Skid Steer Loader of any make...life is sad isn't it?
I don't have anything newer than obd1, so this hangs on a nail in my garage as a dedicated scan tool.Cars are now more gadget and less transportation, which means less serviceability and shorter life span.I mean really,how much technology do you need in a fricking car.Maybe I'm old,But I still see vehicles as tools to move me around this world and not something to order dinner from.Just saying.Oh yeah, I still have your christmas gift, come hell or high water I will get that in the mail. lol.
I have an outdated KIA sportage. Am from Guyana South America. Its starting and stopping after bubbling for a few seconds. The code is p1121 and P1115 and seemingly has to do with the electronic unit what does these code refer to Thanks
nice vid , you made me think back in auto class , they told us that getting o2 sensors cheap may and i say may may may , result in faulty repairs because the cheap ones maybe not all ? are not to manufacturers specs , other words they cut corners to make them cheap ... i am just saying this because i was told by pros ok , you all do what you got to do ok . no harm intended just makes you think don't it ? enjoy
I agree, Cheap parts rarely last as long as quality parts..but finding a good deal on quality parts is something completely different. In this video I was comparing apples to apples in regard to the o2 sensors. Bosch is hardly considered a cheap part, but finding the exact part at a significantly lower price is a good deal in my book.
Typically CEL codes are stored in the vehicle computer until you either pull the battery or do a sequence that clears the computer of the code. So, if the light is not currently on, you are still able to read what the stored CEL code is.
Hi Hemm, I would first determine exactly why the light is on by reading the code... but with that being said, the majority of CEL coming on are related to the o2 sensor being weak or failed and yes, your gasoline consumption will increase with a failed o2 sensor as the engine computer will typically run the vehicle rich with fuel.
If your combi is OBD1 then yes, you can jump the terminal and read the flashing light. Search which pins to jump for your specific model. You can also test the o2 sensor at the sensor itself. If you have a digital multimeter, you can read the voltage coming out of the o2 sensor when the exhaust system is warmed up and running by taking a reading from the wire coming out of the sensor. An oxygen sensor will typically generate up to about 0.9 volts when the fuel mixture is rich and there is little unburned oxygen in the exhaust. When the mixture is lean, the sensor's output voltage will drop down to about 0.1 volts. When everything is warmed up and at operating temp, you should see a reading that is in the lean range. Your system likely has upstream and downstream sensors (before and after the catalytic converter) so be sure to look up your specific model so you don't miss one. Best of luck with your repair.
+Armando Martinez Most, if not all, OBDI vehicles have a hack to read the engine codes without an actual reader...they are all different. This method works with all Toyota OBDI vehicles.
depends on the make of the car..regardless of the model just do your research first you can burn out the computer modules if u don't know what you doing.
Codes only happen when the Check Engine Light (CEL) appears. There are times a CEL will light up and then turn off once the problem stops happening or a sensor comes back into its parameters. The computer will store all CEL codes and they can be read either with a scanner or with the blinking CEL light counting method, even if the light is not lit while the vehicle is in operation. OBD I systems are not advanced in regard to live time diagnostics compared to OBD II vehicles, however there are scan tools that can monitor OBD I systyems in live time. Those are fairly expensive and are typically owned be people who work on cars for a living. It is very possible your rough idle is not causing your OBD I system to show a fault so you will not get the opportunity to read a CEL code.
Amazing what O2 sensors can do, atleast you don't live in the rust belt where you have to use a torch to heat shit to get it apart. It is the ones that screw into a bung in the exhaust pipe are the one that are the pain in the c*** lol.
Assuming you are talking about a toyota, a 12 means your computer is not sensing engine RPM and a 24 is a faulty TPS. Both are sensors that most likely need replacing. Before buying anything, I would find those sensors, remove the wire/plug, clean the connection and plug them back in. Reset the computer by removing the fuse for the computer in the fuse block, or disconnect the battery and try to start it again. If the codes continue, replace the sensors.
You're not the only guy with this vid but you are sure as hell the most entertaining. Thank you and I have subscribed and liked. Show me sompin else.
+St White Glad you enjoyed the video and it was helpful. Thanks for the sub...you wanna se simpin else??? Whatcha have in mind?

Great video! Did the steps you just showed and I got the same code. Did you get the gaskets along with the sensors? Thanks again
The new sensors came with new gaskets as well.
thanks
The cost of a vehicle goes way beyond the purchase price.
I would have put new nuts on the fittings. but an argument can be made that the truck will be sold or junked by the time the next set of O2 sensors has to be installed.
I did give that some thought... but these have been holding tight so I will leave them alone. Thanks!
What year is your truck I have a 1994 Toyota pick up can I do the same
Mine is a 1994 and it will be exactly the same.
Very Entertaining. Good info too.

Hi could you help with my truck 2000 Toyota prado , flashes of check engine light reads 9 9 9
Toyota doesn't show any codes for 99, it is likely a code 9, which is a failed vehicle speed sensor signal.
Awesome & very witty 🤗🙃👅
My diagnosise port is not working i opend it and i find out that some cables are not attachef
I have an outdated KIA sportage. Am from Guyana South America. Its starting and stopping after bubbling for a few seconds. The code is p1121 and P1115 and seemingly has to do with the electronic unit
what does these code refer to Thanks
+Rajendra Bisessar P1121 in a Kia is a bad throttle position sensor and a P1115 is a coolant temp sensor.
Hmmm, 95 Corolla should still be an OBD1 system...it should work... Be very sure you are putting your wire in the correct ports.
Can you tell me how to do this with a 2001 Toyota Sequoia?
Your year is an OBDii and I don't know how to scan an OBDii system with out an actual hand held scanner.
Thank you

Bosch is hardly considered a cheap part, but finding the exact part at a significantly lower price is a good deal in my book.
i know and understand ,,,carry on soldier LOL
very nice good job
Thank you! 😊
Would this method still work if the cel only comes on after driving the car? And doesnt pop up when juat sitting idle
Typically CEL codes are stored in the vehicle computer until you either pull the battery or do a sequence that clears the computer of the code. So, if the light is not currently on, you are still able to read what the stored CEL code is.
@@yourbeekeeper awesome thank you so much I'll have to check this! Video from ages ago saving me now man🙏😂
@@mateuszz7 Awesome, Happy to help out... that's what YT should be about.
It did not work on my 1998 T100, does anyone knows how get the codes without a reader for my T100.
Good vid
Hi my engine light is on and I feel it is the oxygen sensor but is is possible when the engine light gets on the fuel use will go up?!!??
Hi Hemm, I would first determine exactly why the light is on by reading the code... but with that being said, the majority of CEL coming on are related to the o2 sensor being weak or failed and yes, your gasoline consumption will increase with a failed o2 sensor as the engine computer will typically run the vehicle rich with fuel.
Thank you so much but is it possible to read the code without special equipment! I have Ford Focus 1999 combi
If your combi is OBD1 then yes, you can jump the terminal and read the flashing light. Search which pins to jump for your specific model. You can also test the o2 sensor at the sensor itself. If you have a digital multimeter, you can read the voltage coming out of the o2 sensor when the exhaust system is warmed up and running by taking a reading from the wire coming out of the sensor. An oxygen sensor will typically generate up to about 0.9 volts when the fuel mixture is rich and there is little unburned oxygen in the exhaust. When the mixture is lean, the sensor's output voltage will drop down to about 0.1 volts. When everything is warmed up and at operating temp, you should see a reading that is in the lean range. Your system likely has upstream and downstream sensors (before and after the catalytic converter) so be sure to look up your specific model so you don't miss one. Best of luck with your repair.
Thank you very much don't now how to appreciate thanks a lot
will it work for a 1995 toyota tacoma?
Only if it is still an OBDI system.
nice job....
Thanks Bob.
Thank u !!!
+Lazaro Rolon Glad to help out. You are very welcome.
So I can't get the engine up to temp because it won't start. That's why I need the codes in the 1st place. Will it still work?
April Arroyo Yes, this technique reads stored codes. As long as you can get the ignition to turn on you can read the store codes.
yourbeekeeper it's also a 99. Is that to new to do this?
I believe a '99 is OBDII, so yes, it's too new to be best of my knowledge.
will this work for my 1988 toyota pickup
Yes.
I'm starting to hate auto complete on my phone
I meant 'mortor'
nice nice
Thank you.
Does that work with any car?
+Armando Martinez Most, if not all, OBDI vehicles have a hack to read the engine codes without an actual reader...they are all different. This method works with all Toyota OBDI vehicles.
depends on the make of the car..regardless of the model just do your research first you can burn out the computer modules if u don't know what you doing.
Lol, good video!
great video entertaining commentary
if there is no check engine light and I am getting a rough idle will the vehicle still show codes ?
Codes only happen when the Check Engine Light (CEL) appears. There are times a CEL will light up and then turn off once the problem stops happening or a sensor comes back into its parameters. The computer will store all CEL codes and they can be read either with a scanner or with the blinking CEL light counting method, even if the light is not lit while the vehicle is in operation. OBD I systems are not advanced in regard to live time diagnostics compared to OBD II vehicles, however there are scan tools that can monitor OBD I systyems in live time. Those are fairly expensive and are typically owned be people who work on cars for a living. It is very possible your rough idle is not causing your OBD I system to show a fault so you will not get the opportunity to read a CEL code.
Amazing what O2 sensors can do, atleast you don't live in the rust belt where you have to use a torch to heat shit to get it apart. It is the ones that screw into a bung in the exhaust pipe are the one that are the pain in the c*** lol.
iteresante
why does mine not have the second oxygen sensor its some what funny
Hey was just watching your paper clip presentation do you have a fix for 11124. Code..Cool if you do.
Hi Gerald, There is no listing for a 11124 code. Maybe it's a 24 code which is a Throttle Position Sensor fault.
yourbeekeeper my bad it was 12 and 24
Assuming you are talking about a toyota, a 12 means your computer is not sensing engine RPM and a 24 is a faulty TPS. Both are sensors that most likely need replacing. Before buying anything, I would find those sensors, remove the wire/plug, clean the connection and plug them back in. Reset the computer by removing the fuse for the computer in the fuse block, or disconnect the battery and try to start it again. If the codes continue, replace the sensors.
