Hi all,

I have been reading about the 2000 to 2003 rav4 with auto transmission problem.

 

Can someone please confirm if this is a problem with the 2.0L motor model only, as I believe the 2.4L models started late 2003.?

 

I've test driven a 2009 and didn't like the electric power steering or the touchy fly by wire throttle. So I'm looking for the second gen Rav4 with 2.4L motor, as long as I can confirm that the tranny problems are limited to models ith 2.0L motors. I figure late 2003 to early 2005 is what I'm after as long as I can confirm the above.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Ian

I cannot confirm but would fully expect that the E CU would be different for the 2.4 litre engine. Google searches only indicate the known problem with the 2000-2003 model, There is an occassional reference to ECU problems in later models but cause appears to be a bad battery not providing sufficient electrical power.

Thanks, Ashley. So in 13 years Toyota still didn't bother to do a recall for the 00-03 models in regards with the ECM :(

Based upon those previously posted URLs, there was no recall, only warranty claims for this transmission problem with these RAV4 models.

Fortunate for you that the ECM has been replaced on your vehicle.

      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 🤔🤔!!

      How to delete bluetooth device?

      I have a Yaris and had a similar issue. I just submitted a similar query to GPT. The response was to go into settings, view paired devices, select the device to remove, and confirm the removal. It helped me; I couldn't find the answer on the internet, but I found it there.
