#2080 of 5279 About ABS by purrformabvspc Feb 21, 2004 (1:18 pm)
I have a 2001 Solara V6.  My ABS after heavy usage last winter, start to lock up and my dry braking distance increase at 35K. * I bleed the brake system, and found metal shavings & dirty brake fluid. (Based on the advise of a mechanical engineer & he recommends bleeding brake system every 36K. This a normal practice in Europe on ABS brake system.)

Yes, that is the correct location/picture for the bushings to replace. Change both sides together. You will be surprised with the results. Good luck!
#2082 of 5279 Sticking Throttle body 2001 V6 @ 5F by purrformabvspc Feb 21, 2004 (2:04 pm)
The RPM stays hi w/ foot off gas pedal in very cold temp. I suspect ice formation on the butterfly valve(Throttle).   *Found PCV valve clog & so I took the throttle body apart. => Found oil gum up & all over the intake system fwd to air filter housing. It wasn't fun, but I cleaned it with a toothbrush & throttle cleaner.   Anybody know why this happens?   I have been using Mobil 1 since 5000K, and had a $10 Fram oil filter leak.(bad gasket) My auto tranny & differential fluid are also Mobil 1. My engine RMP 5000 to 5500 w/ auto tranny on acceleration. Oil change every 5000 to 7000K. No sludge problems. I am using K&N oil filter now. b/c I could apply safety wire to secure filter from spinning loose. This was a problem in the past.
#2083 of 5279 turn signal is out by aspesisteve Feb 21, 2004 (5:45 pm)
i have a '98 lexus es300 - i figure it has many common parts with the camry and was hoping someone here might know how to fix my problem.   The right front turn signal doens't work; the bulb is good and the fuses are good, but the indicator on my dash just blinks really fast. The rear indicator works.   Is there a relay somewhere in the wiring? Replies to this message: peter pan (Oct 09, 2004 3:45 pm)
#2084 of 5279 Turn signal.... by dekester Feb 22, 2004 (7:10 am)
Had the same problem in my Olds Intrigue a few months ago. The second (bright) filament in the bulb (front indicator) was bad. I replaced both bulbs (so the amber color was the same from side to side) and I haven't had a reocurrance.   Try it - bulbs should run you no more than $5. Make sure you get the exact same type as a replacement as the DRL lights are different.   Deke
#2085 of 5279 bulbs by aspesisteve Feb 22, 2004 (9:14 am)
I did replace the bulbs - even though they looked fine and the problem didn't go away.   I fear there is a relay some where in the wiring that may be difficult to find.
#2086 of 5279 Bulbs by dekester Feb 22, 2004 (3:17 pm)
The ony other thing I can think of - and that I've heard of happening - is the bulb socket may be bad and need to be replaced.   Deke
#2087 of 5279 bulb socket by aspesisteve Feb 22, 2004 (4:07 pm)
that's a pretty good hypothesis I'll look into replacing it.   thanks
#2088 of 5279 2003 Camry Service Bulletin by docbuckeye Feb 23, 2004 (5:59 am)
NHTSA.org lists most recent 2003 Camry service bulletin as November 14, 2003. Describes it as: (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) CALIBRATION - SHIFTING ENHANCEMENT. *TT)     Anyone know what this service bulletin addresses and if the "enhancement" works? Any chance it resolves some of the hesitancy reported by some owners? Thanks.
#2089 of 5279 docbuckeye by dekester Feb 23, 2004 (8:39 am)
Where did you find that notice? I have a 2003 LE V6 and want to keep up an any and all service bulletins/advisories, etc.   Thanks,   Deke Replies to this message: lilgreg56 (Apr 17, 2004 10:14 pm) marc781 (Apr 30, 2006 6:58 pm)
