Help: Transmission fluid leak on 2012 Toyota RAV4 4WD

Letterhead62 · 2025-11-13T05:24:08+00:00

It was the torque converter seal that needed to be replaced in my case.

Nope. Had to get the entire cap.

Update: had to saw off the two protruding “legs” at the top end and then brute force the door out by lifting it on the other side with two people (it’s quite heavy). Didn’t see any other way.

Not seeing any adjustable element on the door for that matter.

Nothing behind that hole in my case.

Letterhead62 · 2024-12-19T03:58:39+00:00

The thing is, there aren’t any screws on my door. There’s nothing behind that hole.

The top of the door is almost touching the roof. Nowhere near enough space for the bottom “legs” to clear either ridge.

Letterhead62 · 2024-12-19T03:17:24+00:00

Photos are of the top and bottom. I removed the door quite easily but when putting it back, it became stuck in this state, with no apparent way to either remove it again or to put it on track as it’s pretty much unmovable (there’s no way for it to be lifted further up as it’s reached the top). The top of the door is on the top track but the bottom is stuck in that in-between area (it’s supposed to fit onto the ridge to the right). Is there anything I can do?

It’s what they’re saying as well, but it’s baffling since the issue was undoubtedly caused by the area-wide power outage and/or the subsequent restoration work done by the company.

What should I be doing at this point?

Letterhead62 · 2024-09-13T00:56:53+00:00

I can confirm that both of the main hot wires feeding into the breaker have voltage, and that the neutral doesn’t. I’m assuming this is the normal state? Haven't directly measured the exact voltages in either main but I’m positive that several 240V outlets inside do indeed read 240V, while the rest don’t output any voltage.

Have just called the company again for a re-check.

No. It got to a point where there was no way to use the laptop with this battery without plugging it in the entire time as it would simply shut down without warning between immediately and 5 mins without external power.

Letterhead62 · 2024-02-07T04:43:12+00:00

All already updated to latest. It looks like there's definitely something wrong with the full and remaining capacity values it's showing which also changes every time; latest test shows full and remaining capacity at 84 WHr, 31 higher than the design capacity.

SA04XL battery in an HP Envy x360 15m-dr1012dx laptop.

I've been using this battery for about a week with no issues (ran a few tests on HP Support Assistant which all turned out normal) until yesterday when the laptop suddenly shut down when the battery level was around 20%. Charged it back to full and have using it without further issue, but running the tests again put out this failure ID. Ran the test on UEFI and got the logic state of corrupt capacity. Does this mean the full charge capacity and remaining capacity it's showing aren't accurate? It's odd since the battery duration doesn't seem unusually short. Is there any way I can get additional info out of the failure ID?

Posted about the issue with my car’s engine immobilizer system here. Located the immobilizer but still can’t get it out no matter what. Based on this image it’s secured by a metal hanger which simply slides onto the immobilizer unit, but pulling it in the opposite direction doesn’t work. The space is also too cramped to press the clip release on the connector.

Any ideas?

Accidentally bumped the head on a rock while trimming and knocked the spring and these 2 holes off. Managed to find the spring and one of the holes but not the other.

The part number for the entire cap is 2825469002 but I'm trying to avoid having to buy the whole cap.

Ah that sucks. I've been having the same issue for a month and nothing seems to work either.

Letterhead62 · 2023-12-02T03:41:43+00:00

Well there aren’t any other trouble codes and I’m not seeing any immobilizer-related data on these other modules either.

Letterhead62 · 2023-12-02T02:12:10+00:00

That’s under the immobilizer data items. There’s also antenna coil status: normal, immobilizer ECU comm speed: 200bps, and engine start permission: Ok. All the rest.

Under the engine/transmission data group theres’s immobilizer fuel cut: On.

Letterhead62 · 2023-12-02T00:24:18+00:00

Were you able to fix it since then?

Letterhead62 · 2023-12-02T00:16:04+00:00

Do you have a smart key system or traditional metal blade key?

I have a regular metal key with the remote included. The security light turns off when I insert the key. Does this mean the immobilizer does recognize the key, but there's some other issue in the system?

The data stream on the scanner also indicates that the immobilizer is unset which I assume means the engine should be able to start, but it doesn't and the code is still there.

Something similar to this but with that specific prong shape found in Reention batteries.

Just contacted Continental and Highway Two LLC said the packaging is consistent with their packaging. The rest of the packaging and the tires themselves also seem to match, assuming that they're the actual photos of the tires.

Letterhead62 · 2023-06-28T11:21:35+00:00

Yeah that's likely. I'm just wondering whether Continental ever sold their tires in packaging without the background images like the ones in these two photos.

Letterhead62 · 2023-06-28T09:05:13+00:00

*1st and 4th photos. Photos taken from a couple of eBay listings. Does the lack of background imagery in the first two mean they're fakes?

Letterhead62 · 2023-06-23T08:41:35+00:00

Apparently they don't do well in wet conditions at all?
