Hello, thanks for writing in about your Toyota Sequoia. The yaw sensor is located below the center console. It's mounted to the floor at the rear of the console. The console needs to be removed in order to replace it....
Hello - I don't think this is related to switching back to 2WD per se. There is a shift position sensor on the side of the transmission, and it's possible that the snow activity caused moisture and/or dirt to get...
Hi there. When the air pump is working and the engine is running fine and then when the air pump is turned off and the engine idle starts to hunt, then there may be water in the air pump or...
Hi there. From the description you have provided, concerning your vehicle's steering wheel is locked far right and key won't turn with the front wheels in a forward default position, is somewhat confusing to me. It could be, undo pressure...
First pressure test the fuel pump. A weak fuel pump would do exactly that and on that old Escape, 11 years old, there is no sensor on the fuel, so the computer has no idea what the fuel pressure is....
The electric water pump circuit uses both a temperature sensor and a relay to control it's function. The temperature sensor tells the water pump there is a demand for it to circulate coolant based on engine temperature. The relay acts...
Hi There, It sounds like your ABS system is being engaged inadvertently causing the brake calipers to lock up against the brake rotors. Your car is equipped with wheel speed sensors at each of the four wheels which monitor wheel...
Your vehicle’s express-down windows feature allows you to lower the driver and front passenger windows without using both switches. To activate the express-down feature, simply push down the driver’s window switch, then push down again. This will bring...
Hi there. This can be caused by any number of different problems. Most of the time if the vehicle starts to gradually lose power and then it turns off it is caused by a failing fuel pump. It can be...
Depending on what type of ignition system you have, a conventional older style ignition system with a distributer cap and ignition rotor, or a more updated version on newer vehicles that has a coil per spark plug, there are several...
Shaking or vibrating may be caused by many different things such as faulty spark plugs, poor fuel pressure or misfires. Other things such as a faulty idle air control valve may cause the engine idle to drop below the normal...
Hello there, There are many faults that will cause your heater to only function at high RPM's on your 2011 Chevrolet Equinox. Given that your heat works at a high RPM or speed the most likely culprits are the radiator,...
It sounds like you may have a failing voltage regulator. When the voltage regulator is not working properly, this may result in the alternator allowing too much power to be delivered to the battery resulting in damaging wires and prematurely...
If you are having a stalling problem then you may have a computer code stored in memory. I suggest having the computer scanned to see if there is any codes stored and diagnose them as needed. The intake hose and...
Hi there. Check to see what relay you have pulled. If indeed you removed the fuel pump relay and the engine still starts up, then check the oil pressure switch. An oil pressure switch will kept the engine running as...
Hello - check fluid level in the transmission, and for problem code, whether the Check Engine light is one or not. I suspect it will be. This sounds like a failure internal to the transmission, clutches, valve body or a...
It sounds like the impeller shaft inside the water pump has been bent or broken. If this were the case the noise would exist when the engine was cold, then when warmed up and coolant starts to pass through the...
Hi there. The code P0015 is stored for the camshaft position sensor has recorded that the timing is excessive retard. The sensor could have failed due to oil deposits leaking onto the sensor, the variable valve timing sensor has failed,...
Your engine is equipped with a feature called fail-safe cooling. Essentially, this is a technology that helps minimize the damage caused by overheating the engine. If the engine begins to overheat, the Check Engine light will come on and the...
Hi there. There are a few different things that can cause this. It can be the fact that the speedometer is not working due to a bad transmission speed sensor. This can cause the computer to not know when to...
If you have confirmed that no power is reaching the pump once the car is running, such a fault can only be diagnosed by tracing the supply circuit (might have to be done, too, while "independently" powering the pump to...
The first thing to do is check your coolant and see if you're low on fluid. When you are low on coolant, air bubbles are created and these air bubbles will slosh through the dash because the heater core is...
The Driver’s Seat Position sensor helps keep the driver safe in the event of a crash. The sensor will adapt the airbag deployment to meet the needs of the driver. To understand the Driver’s Seat Position sensor. The Driver’s...
