    how to turn off the orange light which its button is beside sport button

    Yes because if you can't put it back "on" with the button (try holding it 10-15 seconds), it means that TC/VSC is not working. Drive carefully !

    how to turn off the orange light which its button is beside sport button

    It's the traction/stability control "off" light. You should be able to bring it back "on" by pressing the button or restarting the car. If not, then it indicates a malfunction of the TC/VSC system that require professional attention.

    Supra!

    I think that's also the idea of Aiko Toyoda but he is going step by step. The LFA was more of an experiment in that direction than a mass marketed car (at $375,000 and a limited production of 500 units... By the way, a used one is already worth more than that) so that reviewers now relate to it...

    HELP: HIGH RPM & slow speed while driving Downhill

    It would indeed be nice to have more of those efficient technologies combined in one car. The closest you get is Tesla, which shows that it has a price… On Mazda3, i-ELOOP was an $800 option, available only on higher-end 3, driving the priceclose to $30K. “Was”, because it’s been dropped, partly...

    Bad transmission

    First things first... 4AT or CVT ? Mileage/maintenance of fluid ? Is the stick physically stuck (anything from debris accumulation to some small object fall in or under the rail to physical damage to the console) ? Is the braking light switch OK (might prevent the stick from working since...

    reset tpms

    You shouldn't have to reset it after tires rotation. The sensors/transmitters remains the same and the Corolla system isn't wheel specific. If the light remains on, then one of your tires is on low pressure or there is a problem with the system. If you install new sensors/transmitters, then...

    !!! Attention!! 2014 -17 Corolla & IM PCM UPDATE!!

    As I mention in the other thread, assuming this is a TSB (we have only partial view of the document), it is not necessarily related to wide spread problems and even less to recall/service campaign.More like instructions to the mechanic ("If you encounter a car with this condition, this might be...

    2014 s with acceleration issues

    The letters are some production code. Only the last 6 digits are relevant. It also mention "some", not "all" previous car might be affected. Furthermore, assuming this is a TSB (we have only partial view of the document), it is not necessarily related to wide spread problems and even less to...

    Can entune play video?

    I have a hard time thinking that Fujitsu Ten / Toyota would put the more precise (thus more expensive) laser reading device required by DVD vs CD, in the HU - not to mention video codec in the firmware - only to carefully hiding it and not marketing this higher end feature…

    Power folding mirrors

    Great finding but since it seems to be about a relay. I don't think the SE has motorized mirrors in the first place so OP still have to swap them.

    Power folding mirrors

    Only thing I see is to swap mirrors with the ones from the iM. They are motorized, but they still don't have the auto-folding function you hope for. In other words, lots of money and configuration work !

    Corolla S 2014 - hands free calls are hard to hear, but other Audio (music, etc) work fine

    Have you check if the "in-call" volume is at an appropriate level ? (Setup/Phone menu on the touchscreen) ? I doubt the speakers are in cause, since you say they work fine otherwise. I also doubt the sound come from the center of the console, since there are no speakers there... Unless it's from...

    CVT swap with 4sp Auto

    Probably possible, provided you also change the ECU. Size wise, first years 11th gen accommodate either. Not sure about how much you’d save, though… Despite the horror stories, searching salvaged parts data-banks, both could be have for around $500 (Ex: 2014 4AT – 43K - $490 / 2014 CVT – 44K –...

    2014 Corolla S CVT Problems

    There are a few odd parts to this story that doesn't make it representative of a "clean" CVT failing and replacement : a) The discrepancy between the two quotes, none of them specifying why the CVT needed replacement. b) The first replacement that didn't solve the problem... c) The second...

    Half tank mileage 2017 Corolla Se Cvt

    It's true that the S and LE Eco share the same aero (including trunk lip spoiler) that apparently aren't just "gimmicks". But the bigger wheels on S (and even LE Eco +) penalize MPG. The secret to match or even surpass EPA numbers is what Ricky Rios say : the way one drives... (and conditions -...
