Toyota Camry Troubleshooting Can Save You Time And Money.....

Ok, so you just got done buying a car with bad credit. Now what do I do it it starts breaking down on me? Here are some things to look for:

What do the brake warning lights mean in my car?

• Your emergency brake is on. Release it to solve the problem.
• You have lost brake pressure in half of the brake system.
• There could be a leak in one part of the system
• The hydraulic fluid could be low

What to do if my brakes squeaking?

• The metal rotor that the brake pads squeeze together can sometimes vibrate, causing a squeaking noise---Try a different brand of brake pad
• Use sandpaper to sand off surface hardening of the brake pad surface.
• Spray a solution on the back of the pads

The key won't turn in the ignition?

• this happens when the steering is locked by the ignition lock with the front wheels turned aside
• try turning the steering wheel left and right while gently jiggling the ignition key
• The key and the lock mechanism wear over time. Try using a spare key

The ‘check engine’ light does not come on?

• it's possible that there is no power coming to the engine computer
• that there is a problem with the engine computer itself.

The starter won't crank:

• The ignition switch could be at fault, which is a common problem
• The starter motor has failed
• Starter motor control wire could have bad connection
• If the car is not in ‘Neutral’ or ‘Park’ it will not start
• check the car battery
• if it is a manual transmission, make sure the clutch is depressed

The starter cranks normally, but the engine won't start:

• issues with fuel delivery system
• Problem with engine electronics
• Ignition system problems
• broken timing belt
• check the crank sensor or cam sensor
• check the air flow sensor and power relay switch

The car died with little fuel in the tank

• Umm, make sure that you have fuel in the tank

Low oil pressure warning light comes on while driving

• You ran out of the oil
• the oil screen is clogged in the oil pan

Black smoke from exhaust:

• You have too much gas going to the engine which most likely means there is something wrong with fuel or ignition system
• blue or white-blue smoke means you are burning oil.
