engine & VSC lights

Asked by Hyder99 Mar 27, 2018 at 04:16 PM about the 2009 Toyota Highlander Base 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I recently bought a Toyota Hilux (Invincible) 2009
model in Pakistan...(which was imported from
England)....recently the check Engine  light and the
VSC lightst turned ON never to go...

I took the vehicle to a mechanic and he said it
needs servicing of the inlet manifold as well as the
EGR......got the job done and the lights went out
but only for a day.......again went to the same
mechanic and he tried and reset the vehicle through
a scanner.........less then 20 miles driven and the
lights are back

Can anyone please suggest me what to do as the
mechanic is insisting in changing few sensors
besides installing a new filter for the EGR which will
cost me a fortune (Nearly 700 USD)

Am truly very upset......any help would be highly
appreciated.

God bless all, Amen!

first you need to get a scanner and see what codes it gives you the codes should start with a P and then have 4 numbers after it example would be: P0123

Yes I did......its the inlet valve of the EGR that was clogged and the EGR Modulator had a damaged diaphragm so I got EGR valve thoroughly cleaned with sludge remover and then installed a new EGR Modulator, got the code cleared from the ECU and the problem got over after immense efforts as no one was able to determine the real problem.....wasted loads of money though The vehicle was in my use and was running perfectly after these repairs.....I sold it about 6 months ago to a friend....he has no complains Am back to FJ150 LC
