I just reset a 04 Toyota RAV 4 with the same method as I saw used on a Honda.

1) Press and hold in the trip/odometer stick where the mileage is displayed (near speedometer).

2) Turn the key and wait for about 5 seconds... light goes out (as long as nothing else is wrong I assume)

3) Don't forget to change oil!!!

If there's no leak, an overheat is caused by a problem with coolant level, coolant circulation, or heat transfer. Fill the coolant level. If the problem recurs within a month, it was something other than low level. Circulation problems are caused by clogged radiators, bad water pumps, non-functioning thermostats.

The Correct Tire Size of the 2001 Toyota Echo is as follows:

175/65/R14 both front and back

a good rule of thumb for those buying new tires for 2001 Toyota Echo Cars is this.. make sure when you buy tires, all 4 tread styles match, if you mix and match the treads and they arent the same, there might be an inbalance and the car may wobble or weave when driving..

i know from first hand experience with my own 2001 Toyote Echo that i have owned from new with only 114 miles on the car.

I'm not sure, don't have a hatchback, but look in the passenger side corner of the hatch close to the rear of the car, with the non-hatchback model, there is a somewhat hidden compartment there with a cover that can be removed by pulling, this is where the jack is. I'm sure a lot of people think they don't have a jack when they need it because they don't know about the hidden compartment.

i have a2005 hatchback end the jack is under the driver seat hiden by a plastic cover

There is a fusebox inside the car on the driver's side under the dash (near where the driver's left knee would be if driving the car). Look for the 15amp fuse in this box.

In the fuse box under the dash it is on the first row on the left it will be the second fuse down. this controls the clock, radio, outside rear view mirror system, cigarette lighter. 15 amp

If the car already has one, it should be on the front of the motor underneath the exhaust manifold....look for the electrical cord. If there isn't one, you can install one in the frost plug on the side of the block or put an "in-line heater" in the radiator hose (much easier option).

You will need to plug into the car's OBD II connector and scan vehicle's computer for codes.

Now, repair the problem that caused the light to come on, then clear the computer system.

If the repair is successful, the light will stay off. Otherwise, it will come back on again after some driving interval.

You can buy cheap code readers on eBay - they will give you the codes and reset the computer (turning off the check engine light). You can take the code and look it up on the internet to see what it means and find help for fixing problems. If the problem is not fixed, the light will come back on.

-----------------------------

Also, you could: "disconnect the negative battery connection. Press your brake pedal down for 10 seconds. Reattach your negative battery connection. The computer will be reset." It worked for me. After changing my spark plugs my check engine light was still on, then after doing this my check engine light went off.

There are three plugs in the back of an Echo radio. Before I blew the fuse, this is what I had figured out. The black one, of course, is the antenna. The other two plugs are white(5 wires) and blue(8 wires). The white plug is mainly speaker wires. The blue plug has speaker wires and the power and ground wires. White plug: Black and Gold wires --- right speaker(not sure front or back) Red and White wires --- left speaker(not sure front or back) (Not sure about the white/green striped wire) Blue plug: Purple and Pink wires --- speaker(not sure L or R, front or back) Green and teal wires --- speaker(not sure L or R, front or back) (Not sure about the green wire) Power in blue plug: Grey wire --- Main power(thru ignition) Teal/yellow striped wire --- Accesary power(constant for stations or clock, etc...) White/black striped wire --- Ground That's the wiring, now if anyone can tell me where the fuse is, I would be ever so appreciative. White Plug: Black and yellow wires are left rear speaker, red and white are right rear speaker, green and white are part of the interior lights system.(I recommend not touching thoughs as it will break the circuit and the interior dash lights won't work at all) Blue Plug: green and blue are left front speaker, pink and violet are left front tweeter speaker (on 6 speaker systems), then the other two blue and green, one is right front and the other is right front tweeter speaker (on six speaker system.

You can jack from the sides, just behind the front tires (or in front of the rear tires) you will see two half circle notches in the metal frame, these are jack points, but if you have a suitable floor jack, its better to use the jack points on the bottom of the car (I've seen slight damage to the frame from jacking from the side, because the metal tabs can bend). The jack points on the bottom of the echo: FRONT - this one can be hard to find at first, look for the square slightly towards the drivers side about 3 feet back from the front of the car, there is nothing else under that that looks like a jack point, so you should be able to spot it. REAR - this one is easy to find, its a square right in the middle, all the way towards the back. Unfortunately many normal sized, inexpensive floor jacks will have a hard time reaching the front jack point while still giving you enough clearance to jack the car up.

For 1500 extra I think I'd rather go with the 2003. But you may be able to find a better price (?). I bought a 2002 with 38,000 miles on it for $5500 USD in 2005. Then again, fuel efficient cars are more popular now than they were a couple years ago in my area.

The maintenance manual that came with the car tells how often (probably every 60-100K).

The capacity of the manual transaxle is: 1.9 liters (2.0 US qts, 1.7 Imp. qts) using API oil grade GL-4 or GL-5, SAE 75W-90 differential oil (the stuff has an awful smell to it). If you don't know how much oil you've got in the transmission, you want to make sure that the level is about 0 - 5 mm (0 - 0.02 in.) from the edge of the filler plug (almost visually full). I wouldn't change the oil as frequently as the author above mentioned, but that's a personal preference thing I suppose.

It doesn't have a timing belt to replace. Echo's have a timing chain (one of many great features for this car). The chain has no replacement interval, and should only be replaced if there is a problem (for example if it is making a lot of noise). There are two serpentine belts, one controls power steering and air conditioning, the other controls the water pump and alternator. The later one is on top, and is somewhat easy to replace yourself for just a couple of dollars. It can be inspected for wear (excessive cracking), the alternator bolt can be loosened and alternator pushed back (not removed) to change this belt. I don't know the official change interval, but I replaced mine at 150,000 miles but it was still in good condition actually. The other (lower) belt is more difficult to change on your own, and I wouldn't bother replacing it until there is a problem, as power steering and air conditioning are not critical. Never. The Toyota Echo doesn't have a timing belt. It has a timing chain which should last the life of the car.

the filter is inside the fuel tank. it is a lifetime filter and should only be replaced by a trained technician if you suspect you got dirty gas from the station. You must remove the negative terminal from the battery, and remove the rear seat to access the filter. under the rear seat is a black metal plate. if it has screws, remove them if on screws, pry it up with a screwdriver. careful with the wires. Once you remove the 8mm bolts for the fuel pump, remove it carefully not to bend or break the sender. after that, you will see the filter and where is seperates from the pump. Once again, I strongly recommend a trained technician do the job, and only if you think you got dirty gas. good luck.
