Computer Reset?

[kevy1]

Hi Guys,

I've recently got a 2001 TX Turbo Diesel Prado,

Everything works fine except I have all the warning lights on the dash on and no Speedo and Cruise control doesn't appear to work either?

I was told the computer that controls it has to be reset?

Has anyone been along this road or do you know of anyone who can fix this problem?

I live in Sydney area.

Are you getting any fault codes, you might need a bit more than a reset.

I have done them by disconnecting the battery and rubbing the positive and negative together to discharge the car of power, it is safer though to leave it disconnected for 10 minutes. If you do this make sure that you have the PIN for your radio sorted.

I own a 2004 Toyota Prado Grande since brand new. Recently all the dashboard electronic shut down and then start up intermittently while dirving. Basically the speedometer and everything is off/on within a few seconds. Anyone has a glue of what is going on and what to do?

Certainly appears to be an intermittent power supply issue. Best to start by checking the fuses and usually there are 2 fuse boxes. When I remove fuses, I look at them using a magnifying glass or in good lighting conditions.

Next step would be check for any loose electrical connectors or a loose ground wire on the electrical harness.

I also recall posts where there was corrosion on the ground connection or replacing with a better ground connection/wiring.
