If he knows his job, then a trial won't be bad.


Thanks he has stopped the progression of the crack as far as I can tell. Just worried about VIO and FRSC problem.

Hello Sir,
Please my 2008 rav4 recently suffered from electrical issues.
Car went off and refused to start at an unsafe location. In order to free up the transmission to move vehicle to safety, I noticed the rewire inserted a screwdriver into the hole at the selector and moved it to neutral. Car was then rolled to safety where efforts were made to trace the problem.

ECU was detected as the cause. It has been changed and car starts and drive now.

Problem now is that, when I select reverse(R) or drive (D), it enters with a gentle bang.
But when driving, the other gears select quietly as before.
Putting it in R or D has always been very smooth without bang before now.

The brake light has also refused to go off.

No transmission code on Bluetooth scanner.

Could it have anything to do with the changed ECU or the rewire has touch something else?

What can I do to have that smooth bang-free experience again, please

Good morning everyone.
I own a Camry 2008.
It has a fuel tank size of 70L.
I noticed it consumes too much fuel.

On a full tank till the amber fuel light, it did about 190 miles and thatโ€™s like 11 mpg compared to the 25mpg -30mpg as recorded by Toyota.


I have no check engine light
Spark plugs intact
02 sensors working too.
Catalyst intact too.


What could be the problem?
This worries me a lot.


I await your response ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

Probably an issue with the replacement ECU.
Is yours an AWD model?
And was it towed for long with all 4 wheels down?

Check for parasitic draw or voltage leak, if none, check alternator for voltage, if fine, replace battery.

I just replaced the battery and I don't think it's my alternator bcuz if I am driving and park for just 40 minutes the car will still start but once it stays idle for more than 2 _ 3 hours then it won't start again

I have heard same complain from many Nigerians. I think it has to do with the quality of fuel imported to the country.

Anyways just scan and share the codes for analysis
