We had to put a new battery in the car and now it will crank but I have no power steering and it has all kinds of lights on it and check [engine](/topics-engine-toyota/) [brake](/topics-brake-toyota/) and a couple of others and it will not go into gear and when you mash the gas pedal it does not change it like I am not mashing it.
Mechanic's Assistant: Is the power loss consistent, or does it fluctuate?
It consistent
Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car?
2010 toyota [corolla](/topics-corolla/)
Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Corolla yourself? What have you tried so far?
Trying myself and we disconnected the battery for 10 minutes or so and checked the belts and tried to reset the idle but the car will not go into gear
Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you?
That is all that I can think of

Hi! My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be able to assist you. I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with your vehicle. Don’t worry though, we’ll be able to figure this out.
Thank you for taking the time to let us help you out with this problem and hopefully we can sort it out quickly.
Please understand that I do not know your knowledge or capabilities so I may need to ask questions to find out basic information to help solve your specific problem.
Sometimes it may take a moment for me to respond because I may have to look up information about your concern. I appreciate your patience and will provide responses as soon as possible.
Check to make sure none of the fuses are blown. Check ALL of the fuses inside and out. If they all look good then we'll need to check for trouble codes to see what is stored in the modules. It may also just be a matter of clearing all the codes from all the modules because of the voltage loss. If you can give me these codes then I can see if they are related. Also check the voltage with the engine running to make sure the [alternator](/topics-alternator-toyota/) is putting out at least 12.9 volts.
My goal is to give you the best service possible and to help you. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let me know. If I’m not online at the time, I will respond ASAP when I get back.
