Hi Guys,

Last nite i was adjusting the timing on my celica and i slipped and broke some sensor.

It is located on the water inlet piece on the side of the engine, just infront of the bolt that holds the dizzy.

It is a little green sensor with two wires going in to it. I am not sure what it is or does, but the car now has trouble starting and the check engine light stays on.

Once the car is running though, it runs and idles fine.

Any ideas?

What you have broken is the Water Temp Sensor. You can get a replacement one from Bursons for about $3-$5.

Check your diagnostic codes first. To do so locate the diagnostic port and bridge terminals TE-1 and E1 with a peice of wire as shown.

Turn the key to IGN but dont start it and your CHECK ENGINE LIGHT should be flashing. To get the codes you need to count the flashes.

It will flash in a series eg for a diagnostic code of 42 it will flash like this:

---- = pause

*** = flash

(Turn key to IGN) ---*---*---*---*-------------------------*---*--- then will start again and continue untill you reset the ECU.

Once you find what the problem code is, which Im sure will be 22, lettuce know otherwise.

Code 22 means Short or Open circuit in Water Temp Sensor which basically means you'll need a new sensor.

After you have rectified the problem you have to cancel out the code of your diagnostics. To 'cancel' the code out of the ECU's memory simply remove the EFI fuse from the fuse box (located in engine bay) for 20 seconds and all should be better.

Goodluck

I did the ECU code thing.

I got the following. *___*_*___*_*___*_*

Looked it up in the workshop manual and couldn't find it, or find what the part is.

Strange thing is, besides the car not starting properly when cold and the light being on, it runs perfectly, all the instruments work, etc.

It still starts perfectly when hot, just is a ***** when its cold.

below is a pic of the broken sensor

Hrmmz yeah thats definantley the Water Temp sensor.... head down to Bursons and get a replacement sender. They are a pr*ck of a thing to get off so take your time with it and use alot of WD-40 or the like.

About the code your getting could you space it out coz its sorta hard to interpret.

If its consistant like this ---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*--- etc then thats fine and theres nothing recorded in the ECU.

If its like this ---*---*------*---*------------------*---*------*---*---- which is what I think you put up then yeah thats a code 22.

one blink *pause* two blinks *pause* two blinks *pause* two blinks

*_____*_*_____*_*_____*_*

I would think by replacing the sender then everything should be okay...

Lettuce know how you go.

BURSONS aaarrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh. They sell the same one for about $5

Just ask them for the Wate Temp sensor for the 5S-FE/3S-GE ,or which ever engine you have, then they should have them in stock.

But if you want to spend more then you have to go ahead... :(

I picked two sensors up from the wreckers, as repco/autobarn/supercheap didn't have any in stock.

One off a 4S-FE (corona) and one off a 5S-FE (camry)

Put the one from the corona in, reset the ECU and it all works perfectly now.

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Gary, I would suspect a clutch problem, like not fully disengaging. Maybe you aren't fully pushing it to the floor, or the system needs topping up or bleeding or both. Herb

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Yes mine is October 2023. It arrived late February Early March to the docks in Brisbane. I have a friend who has been told that hers will be in the next shipment but is only on the production line now. So future stock should be 2024 ! ?

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!
