HOW DO YOU DETERMINE What causes check engine light on a 1995 v6 Toyota Camry?

sometihing is wrong in your engine and your computer is picking it up. It is a 95 model so you will have to go to a shop that has an OBD 1 computer and it will tell you what is wrong with your engine. Any vehicle under the year of 1996 takes the OBD 1 computer and 96 and up takes the OBD 2 computer.

Is it dangerous to drive your Toyota rav 4 if the intermediate steering shaft makes a noise when turning the wheel?

I have asked the same question to a Toyota Dealer, both in Atlanta (the place I bought my SUV in 2007) and a year ago in Mexico (where I'm living now.)

In atlanta the answer was "there is not a real problem since this issue (the clunking noise in the ISS) does not pose any risk, it is just a "cosmetic" issue"... as you can infer, I was not completely convinced by that answer at all.

However, in Guadalajara, the Dealer told me another different history: "Since this noise is produced exactly by the joint of the ISS there is an evident risk of breaking that point; however, we have not have any report of an accident so far".

The solution I got was to press tight the bolts in the ISS, cover it with a rubber boot (trying to keep waterproofed and filled with heavy grease, also I have it checked and re-greased every time I have a service in my SUV.) I have done that since two years ago and the noise have faded away and there is not feel of any weird movement in the steering wheel.

I know this is neither the right nor the final solution for this problem, but it is what it takes when a car company doesn't accept their responsibility for their lack of quality controls in their designing or production systems.

How can you tell if the timing belt on a 1999 Toyota RAV4 is about to break?

you cant really. often they break and theres really no indication of a problem except that it is broken. very old belts (130,000 miles perhaps) sometimes have cracks on them but to see the cracks you have to do about a third of the job of replacing it. its best just to have it replaced at the factory designated interval, (90,000 miles).

The 2002 Toyota RAV4 takes a 22" drivers side, 19" passenger side and a fairly specialized 12" rear wiper that is difficult to find in the stores. See sources and related links below for more information.

This ensures correct length AND correct attachment.

How do you replace the automatic console light in Toyota Corolla 1995?

In an automatic car what are the uses of gears 1 2 and 3 for and when should they be used?

If you have ever been in wet grass, or stuck in the mud/snow, you can put the gear into the 2nd position and this will give you much more traction and allow you to get unstuck faster. 2nd gear has a lot less torque than first gear. The higher the torque, the quicker the tires will spin and lose traction. If you left it in the drive position, the transmission will automatically start out in first gear. Also when driving through steep mountain roads, when declining down, you have to keep a safe speed. The car is heavy and will tend to go faster and faster the steeper the hill. If you used only your brakes to keep you at optimal speed, they would over heat quickly and you could ruin them. So to help in this situation, you can "downshift" to either 3rd or 2nd or even 1st in extreme cases, and this will cause the transmission to stay in that lower gear, helping to slow you down.

How do you change the rear wiper blade on a 2008 Toyota RAV4?

The 2008 Toyota RAV4 takes a special 14" rear wiper blade that fits the special rear arm. You can go to the dealer for a replacement (which can be expensive) or you can look into 'Trico Exact Fit Rear Integral Blades' which fit on the special rear arm and look like the factory original. They're available online.

The installation process is simple. The replacement wiper blades will come with step-by-step, illustrated removal and installation instructions

Additionally:

The 2008 Toyota RAV 4 also takes 24" drivers side and 17" passenger side replacement windshield wiper blades.

If in your budget, upgrade to the newer-style frameless "beam blades" which perform better than conventional framed wipers. I use 'Trico Tech Beam Blades' which are fantastic and easy installing.

See relate links below for rear wiper information and for rear wiper installation videos.

What do the different symbols and icons on a dashboard of a 2000 Mazda Protege represent?

In many cars today, words such as "headlight," "horn" and "air conditioning" have been replaced with images of a light bulb, a bugle and a snowflake. Few motorists wouldn't recognize a gas station pump as the icon for the fuel gauge. And most have learned that a seated person with an arrow pointed at various parts of the body indicates the direction of air from the vents. Those are among 162 icons approved by the International Organization for Standardization and generally agreed to by all automakers as what will be used for various functions if words aren't used. The approved icons range from the letters "P" and "D" for park and drive to exclamation points for engine problems. The organization, which goes by ISO
