Posting this for a friend. Vehicle is a 2000 Toyota Camry, 3.0?
Engine died while he was driving it. He then had it towed home where they started throwing parts at it including a fuel pump. CEL was on and I told him a week ago to get a scanner and pull the dtc and let me know. Today he says he bought one, but the battery was dead from sitting so he disconnected the battery and put a battery from his other car into... which reset the pcm. He calls me and says "it says there are no codes" well... yah, because you reset the pcm. What would a shop do in this case? He obviously can't complete a drive cycle to get it to show the dtc again. Is there any other way he can pick up the dtc or ? He says he has fuel pressure with the new pump (not sure how that was tested) Timing belt is visually still in place, hasn't seemed to have broke. I can only do so much to help him by phone. At this point he has been his own worst enemy.

Ideas?

 

Scan it with a solus or modis to see if they can retrieve (data-maid) any history. Some vehicles it works, some it doesn't. It's that way even with Fords lol.

I'm not sure if erasing the KAM takes that out as well though.

Other than that, just your basic tests...fuel first.

 

Toyz... - must be a good friend ehh..

 

Toyotee question on a Ford site....For shame.

Well, that's what they use...honest..

Hope it helped all the same.
