Leather steering wheel peeling
Hi My 2021 Rav 4 has that same problem which has never happened with any of my cars over the past 53 years. It’s only done 65,000 km and I’m hoping I can push some acknowledgment while under warranty and hopefully Toyota can get it repaired. Watch this space. -

I have a bit of a problem with my new to me 2016 diesel rav4
Hi all, I bought a 2016 diesel rav4 from the damaged car auction, it appears someone went off road and did some damage under the car , the subframe on the passenger side and the 2 brackets that hold it were damaged which was an easy fix but unfortunately they also damaged the oil cooler for the transmission and kept driving it till it stopped , when we took the oil pan off we found metal in the filter so the transmission was toast, we found a replacement trans and fitted it as well as a new oil cooler and after a wheel alignment and a good once over she was registered and good to go. Now the problem i'm having is that I have an information light come up which states " AWD system malfunction ,2WD engaged visit your dealer " and of course it goes into limp mode. We scanned it and it said that the EGR valve was at fault so we checked it out and yes the valve was not great so we replaced it , what the EGR valve has to do with an AWD system malfunction is a bit of a mystery but ok. Then I was driving one evening and braked to do a left hand turn off of the highway , it was moderate braking , not just a touch but not hard either and the same warning came up again, we rescanned it but it was the same fault so was advised to see the dealer. Before I book the car in for any work ( i assume the dealer has better scan tools ) i was wondering if anybody here has any experience with this fault and what it could be ? I was thinking just after i finished writing this , would the transmission need to be programed into the cars computer in the same way as new injectors need to be ? cheers Pete -

Air Conditioner not workimg
Air Conditioner has stopped cooling the car. Have had it looked at by Air Conditioning Specialists and they indicated it was an electrical issue. Have had an Auto Electrician look at it and he could not find any faults with Relays or fuses but power is not getting to the compressor. He is under the impression it might have something to do with either a Faulty SLIP Sensor or it would be the Air Conditioning ECU. Has anyone had a similar problem and was there a way to fix it. Thanks -

1990 Camry sv21 overheating- Rad fan not starting automatic
Thank you for help in the past! Now again facing some challenges! When the temperature gauge needle moves beyond the middle point, I noticed that the radiator fans are not running. When stop or Key OFF and then ON after few seconds then the radiator fan start running. I am assuming that radiator fan thermo/ radiator switch or fan radiator relays are not malfunctioning. Firstly, I tried to the relays (4pin,5pin). There are two 4pins relay, 1) the 4 pins relay (90987-02004) tested by supplying 12v power and I hear the click sound and tested the multimeter-continuity of the other two legs, I sound beep on multimeter. while 2) the 4 pins relay (90987-03001) did make the click sound, and when tested with the other two legs shows continuity on multimeter-continuity. Secondly, The 5 Pins relay (90987-04002) (2pins on onside and 3 pins on other side. I am not sure how to test this type of relay. I tried to search on google but help on text or video for specifically this model of relay. I tested randomly and found that in set of 3 pins side between Pin 1 and Pin 2, there is resistance (de-energized) and 2pins set on other side, lets says between pin 4 and pin5, there is no continuity. As I energized (12v at pin 1 and ground at pin 3), I hear click sound, there is continuity between pin4 and pin5. I hope it means its functioning though there is not set standard operational specifications to compare. I tested the similar way to all the relays I pulled out and fuses are good. I put all the relays and fuses back. But the same problem as I mentioned earlier, fan does not start when temperature is increasing beyond limit. however, when I start A/C, both the radiator fans start. Same thing is repeated as I mentioned earlier. I do have oil Leake from sides of distributor, but it was there before for couple of years. This time I going to fix with new distributor because last mechanic said that the inner seal he can't fix so I have to go for new distributor. However, I am not sure is this part of the overheating cause? Also, attach is picture of engine area, if anybody can help me locate radiator fan switch in the picture. thanks Any help! Thanks so much -

Engine bay picture
Sorry for doing and dump and run I thought I had updated the post. Problem was immobiliser wasn’t talking to the key after all that. I have LPG on the car as well. I was after the picture so I could take that out of the equation initially but honestly wasn’t sure which part was lpg plumbed in. Eventually found fuse box for that to disable. as an aside what OBD2 software people use?
