      It's parked at my house, I reset the ECU hoping that'd work but no. I'm stuck.

      Didn't you bring this problem to Toyota before?

      That's what happens when you keep resetting the ECU thinking you can simply fix your problem that way. Don't want to sound mean, but you got what you deserved now.

  2. Oooh that's not good news :|
  3. Alright, I'll be there with 3 mates. One of them is driving their car, Ford Focus.. lol See you all soon ;)
  4. It my not even be the torque converter. It could simply be a solenoid or sensor that is causing it to spew errors and give you issues. This is why it's important to read the codes and troubleshoot from there. The fact that it went away when the ECU was reset would make me think that there ma not be a huge mechanical issue with it, but that's just a guess. Well, I drove the car so carefully after the reset like it was like I was driving on eggs.. the first 5min drive was fine. Then a 15min drive home was also fine. Next day I drive another 15min~ still fine. Then the drive after that, about 1min in, the lights went back on again. I will be seeing that same mechanic on Monday night again for him to have another look at it, and hopefully tonight they boys at the meet might be able to help me out ;)
  5. It's an 08'. Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to read what the exact errors were. The mechanic was just explaining to me what he saw and said it was fixed. Would it be possible if I just took a torque converter out of an Aurion in a car yard? A few mechanics I know are family, so the labour part of the price would be almost nothing. Wasn't too sure about coming tonight cause of the condition of the car, but if you can check/scan it yourself then I'll be there for sure. Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it! :)
  6. Alright, so my torque converter and abs module are apparently f*cked. The engine, traction control and the VSC lights on the dash are on, and have been for about 4 weeks now. At one point I would try to reverse and the car would just be like it was in neutral, meaning it wouldn't reverse. Also just last week when braking at very low speeds (0-20km/h) the abs would just kick in and try to stop the car. A mate and I managed to reset the ECU through the ignition switch and all the lights went off, and the car was like brand new... For about 3 hours. Just last night a mechanic had a look at it and put some machine in and saw all these electrical problems or faults? Anyway, he ended up resetting all of what he found and the car was like new once again, till today. Anybody have any serious advice on what I could possibly do? Really lost right now..

  8. VSC and Traction Control are off.. and have been since Saturday? Did I do something wrong? >.<

      Intentionally or not?

      Well... intentionally on Saturday night, but I thought it resets when the car turns off.

      If in doubt, you can try an ECU reset. Otherwise just see if it goes away after a couple of hundred K's.

  9. Think I saw Tommy (Shinobi) turning right, onto Sydney Rd from Barry Rd at about 2:03am.. like 25min ago
  10. I hear that same sound you speak of... it's actually loud in my car though. I sometimes wonder if people outside can hear it. Only thing is, I only hear it when I an reversing & turning at the same time, never whilst going forward though.
  11. Haha, if you manage to pick up a spare rear bar that'd be good. But I don't believe it's a risk worth taking. After all, I can't see my rear anyway. Next up for me is foggies and tinted slimline weather shields..
  12. Are we allowed to have no reflectors on the rear bar? I spoke to my panel beater about it, and he recommended not to... and so did all my mates.
  13. It worked!! Check out my new look, from behind..
