If brake calipers are replaced, this will cause air to enter the brake system. The brakes must be bled in order to remove the air and regain pedal pressure. As for the slide pin, most of them have a spot...

You should check and see with engine off if the clutch slave is moving the clutch when pedal is pressed. If it does not move or take a couple pumps to move then you either have air in system or...

When reversing the jumper cables is the same as reversing the battery cables. It burns up the fuses, relays, electronic circuits and possibly the computer. If the fuses were replaced and everything in the car is working, then either the...

If a mechanic already looked at it and says engine is locked then I would need to know if the engine was overheated or ran without oil. Either way you may need to replace the motor. If the motor needs...

You will need to have the clutch system checked to see if you have a leak, or if the clutch master cylinder (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/clutch-master-cylinder-replacement) leaks internally by the cups. If the master cylinder is okay and the return is not blocked,...

This sounds like you may have a faulty starter solenoid. The starter solenoid is located on the starter and has internal electrical contacts that transmit electricity to the starter. When this fails, it may cause a clicking sound and will...

When the airbags were replaced the battery would have been disconnected and may cause the computer to reset and can cause some loss of fuel mileage until the computer gets through relearn. If you still get lower fuel mileage after...

Fuses and fusible links may have opened due to the short circuit. Inasmuch as the vehicle does not start, the simplest thing to do is diagnose the starting circuit first as, in the course of that, other fundamental failures (for...

Hi Manuel. Thanks for contacting us today. The camshaft position sensor is located on the driver side of the engine bay, attached to the side of the cylinder head. Since we can't attach images to show you the exact location,...

The normal display modes for the indicator light on the Start/Stop button are discussed on page 140 of the 2016 Scion iA Owner's Manual (https://www.toyota.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM99M17z/pdf/OM99M17z.pdf). A flashing indicator on the Start/Stop button is not a normal (expected) display mode. If...

When trying to locate the draw on a battery, I would normally use a process of elimination to locate where the draw(s) is coming from. With everything off, and measuring the draw, I would begin pulling individual fuses or relays....

Hi There, The radiator fan may have stopped working for a couple of reasons such as a faulty fan motor or faulty fan relay (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/cooling-fan-relay-replacement). As you know, this can be dangerous to the motor as it may cause it...

My suggestion is to have the coolant refilled (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/top-off-coolant) and the system pressure tested to see whether you have a leak, or the engine overheated due to a fan not turning on, or you have a blown head gasket. A...

Hello. If the harnesses do not match then the sensor you have is incorrect. A search on my end also reveals that your vehicle uses a four wire sensor, however if the harness on the vehicle uses a 2 wire...

This may potentially be related to a faulty starter relay. This is a unit that directs power from the battery to the starter solenoid which then engages the starter when you turn the key. When this is not working properly,...

If you got lots of spark then either you hooked up cables backwards or the battery is shorted and will need to be replaced. For the vehicle not moving may be caused by low battery voltage or if you shorted...

I would recommend retracing your steps on this. It is possible that an electrical connector or a vacuum hose of some kind could have been disconnected and not put back during the replacement of the spark plugs and ignition coils....

Hi Gabrielle. Thanks for contacting us tonight. When you have multiple issues with door locks and windows, it can usually be traced to a faulty control module. Usually, when the module begins to fail, individual systems will start to have...

The torque converter and torque converter lock up solenoid should be evaluated. Another possibility is an internal hydraulic leak in transmission seals causing pressure to apply both reverse and forward gears at the same time, lock up the transmission and...
