Any noticeable transmission oil consumption should be checked out at a repair shop.
Toyota diagnostic port under hood manual#
Check your owners manual for the type of fluid and do not substitute anything else. Also, you will need a special funnel to get the fluid into the small tube that the dipstick came out of.

If you plan to add Transmission fluid yourself, you should know that fluid usually comes in quarts, but the level may not be low enough to take the full quart. Make sure you use the correct transmission fluid for your vehicle. As with the engine, never add fluid unless it is below the “Add” mark and never bring it above the “Full” mark. If the fluid is a muddy brown or has a burnt smell, have it checked by a mechanic. Transmission fluid should be pink or red in color with the look and consistency of cherry cough syrup. The usual markings are “Full” and “Add 1 pint.” Push the stick into the tube until it seats, then immediately pull it out to see the fluid level. Pull the transmission dipstick out, wipe off the end and note the markings on the end of the stick. Also make sure the car is on a level surface and fully warmed up. Most automatic transmissions should be checked while the engine is running. If either of these conditions exist, have it checked out soon. However, it should never be foamy and should never have a strong gasoline smell. It is acceptable for the oil to be dark as long as you change it at the recommended intervals. If it is, take your car to a repair shop as soon as possible and have it checked out. Your main concern with this check is that oil consumption is not rapidly increasing. You should not add oil unless the level is below the “Add” mark and NEVER add oil to bring the level above the “Full” mark.

Push the stick back into the tube until it seats then immediately pull it out to see the oil level. You will usually see a mark for “Full” and another mark for “Add.” Check your owners manual to be sure. With a paper towel or rag, wipe off the end of the stick and notice the markings on it. An engine cannot run without oil even for a minute without serious engine damage or total destruction! To check the oil level, make sure that the engine is turned off, then find the engine oil dipstick and remove it. This is the most important under-hood check you can do. The following items should be checked periodically: If you are not comfortable with touching a hot or running engine, then just do the checks that can be done with the engine cold and turned off and have someone else do the rest. If the engine is running, do not put your hands near any belts or fans. Except for checking transmission fluid level, all checks should be done while the engine is turned off. Do a search on techstream on the Toyota-4runner forums and you'll find heaps of stuff.If the engine has been running for any length of time, there are areas under the hood that can be very hot.

I now just use the latest version of Tech stream and make a mod to an ini file. IN the end I had a lot of problems getting it to work on my win 7 64 bit, but there is a thread to help do that now. Yes, that's exactly the one that I bought.

Your thread offered some light for getting data which is great, but are you able to confirm exactly what worked and what you use?īeen looking on ebay and the Techstream stuff seems to be cable and software However the EGR values never do anything for some reason."Ī newbee, I have just bought a yr 2000 Prado TX KZJ95R TD 1KZ-TE.
