Well it got fixed in the end, it was the driver's side front speed sensor (that I replaced last year). It was damaged, not sure how. Was fine in the straight ahead steering position but went faulty on the turn. Wasn't the wire either so not sure how this happened but not going to spend much time...

OK So I got Techstream up and running but hasn't really helped. The only alarm on the system was for the Tilt position sensor which was a historic one from when my Tilt motor failed. Connecting to the ABS/VHS ECU it gave me an error first that the function you tried hasn't worked but may work...

Uhu. Yes those connections are all OK. Pulled them to check even though the cables to the sensors were replaced with the sensors. Both sides of the plug are nice and clean. I've ordered Techstream and the miniVCI cable, supposedly fully supporting windows 10 as I will be loading this on a...

Grinbo. Looking at a few threads, it wraps around the top end of the steering column and has a multi plug just on the same side as the steering wheel rake and reach control. Can be accessed by removing the lower steering column cowl. From reading the other posts on here and IH8MUD it makes...

Grimbo. It’s possible although I did get a mate to sit in the car with the engine on while a wiggled the cable and couldn’t make the light come on unless he turned the steering wheel to full left lock. Uhu mentioning the steering angle sensor has given me something to think about. I haven’t...

Uhu. just checked and yes cheap as chips. What kind of cable do I need for a 99 100 series with 1hd-fte. Is it the 16 pin one?. Handy I have a nice rugged computer perfect for running techstream on

Thank Uhu. I’ll take a look at getting a tester. Yes one of those thing I always promised myself but never got around to. cheers Andy

Thanks, however the wheel bearings are OK, I keep these well adjusted, checking them at least 6 monthly, repacking the grease if needed as well. I have a feeling that I am barking completely up the wrong tree but the reason I thought something to do with the steering pump was that the light...

Long time since I've been on here, my 100 series has just worked faultlessly apart from my last big expense with the suspension pipe bursting on the O/S rear. 264K miles and going strong. However.... I'm after some suggestions. My ABS light comes on but only if I turn hard left, doesn't come on...

Steve. Can't agree more, plus at least for the TNS500 it's a bit old hat and the signal strength from the Antenna is not all that. When I got my 100 I replaced the aftermarket Clarion system with a Pioneer AVIC-HD1BT which is a great system and also has a built in hard drive for the Navigation...

Depends on the model - on the TNS500 I believe it is a CD ROM not a DVD, I believe on the TNS510 it is a DVD.

It should be under the driver's seat - accessed from the rear I believe - on my 80 I had it in the centre console but the default position on the 100 is under the seat.

Update Well it's all working again at last. After reinstalling the evaporator with the new Expansion valve (TX valve) it still was not working and the system was vacuuming. In the end after flushing the evaporator again and the pipes and the condenser and it still not working the A/C guy pulled...

Just to add. I had a TNS500 navigation system in my old 80 series (from a 2001 100 series) and upgrading that was just a case of putting in the latest CD, no upgrade procedure to go through - new cd, switch it on and away you go.

What model of Navigation system is in there. I don't have the Toyota system however in my experience updates tend to be the map only, they don't change the underlying software so a new cd can just be used without needing to go through all the previous stages. Certainly on my Pioneer system that...
