Rain, speed, crankshaft, fuel sensors for Toyota Camry 40: where are they located, how to replace

According to clause 7.4 of the traffic rules, the operation of vehicles with a non-working speedometer is prohibited. In addition, only with its help is it possible to comply with the speed limit. But not every car owner knows his car so well that he can determine the current speed by engine speed.

Electronic speedometer with dial and divisions

As for Camry cars, the power reserve of their engines is enough that even a slight press on the gas pedal will give the car a speed significantly exceeding that allowed by the Rules. And if the speedometer does not work on a Toyota Camry, then you should immediately begin troubleshooting. You can immediately contact specialists, or try to do it yourself.

Rain sensor

Located on the windshield. It consists of two parts: a photodetector and an infrared emitter. During operation, the sensor compares the existing light refraction through the windshield with standard characteristics. If there is a discrepancy, the wipers turn on independently.

The adjustment of such a sensor is very fine, so if you are not sure that the sensor is broken, try spraying it on the glass with a spray bottle. If configured correctly, the wipers will turn on automatically.

Tachometer on a car: types and features

In the process of searching for possible reasons why the tachometer jumps, it is also necessary to separately take into account the design features of this device. Tachometers are:

• analog;
• digital.

By the way, another type of sensor can be an electronic sensor (optocoupler). Such a sensor generates a light beam and determines the rotation frequency by the reflection of the beam from certain areas.

Additionally, remote or standard digital tachometers have an indicator so that the driver knows exactly when the engine has spun up to a certain speed in a particular gear.

Analog tachometer device

One way or another, an analog tachometer remains the most common solution. Structurally, this solution consists of the following elements:

• pointer arrow;
• graduated scale;
• electromagnetic coil with shielded winding;
• wiring for transmitting data from the crankshaft sensor to the tachometer;

Oxygen sensor (lambda probe)

The modern internal combustion engine has been brought to almost perfection. This requires higher quality fuel and the presence of an electronic control system, of which the lambda probe is a part. It is installed in front of the catalyst, which allows it to control most of the fuel system, including the exhaust system components.

This sensor monitors the correct supply of fuel and air into the chamber of the internal combustion engine. Thanks to it, not only the overall gasoline consumption is reduced, but also the service life of the rubbing parts of the car engine is increased. Additionally, the oxygen sensor reduces the harmfulness of exhaust gas to the environment. But all this will be practically unnoticeable to a novice driver. The main factor by which the normal operation of the lambda probe can be externally determined is the stable operation of the car at idle.

The fact that this sensor is faulty can be determined by several factors. Firstly, this is a decrease in the overall speed and traction of the car. Secondly, strange popping noises when the engine is running, unstable idling, a visual change in the exhaust gases in the car, as well as a specific smell that differs from the generally accepted one. The malfunction is also indicated by an error message on the dashboard.

The sensor cannot be repaired, since it is a non-separable spare part, so the only way out of this situation is its complete replacement.

What's the result?

If the driver notices malfunctions in the tachometer, it is important to immediately determine the cause of the malfunction. It should be borne in mind that problems with the device itself are not critical for the car.

We also recommend reading the article about why the speed sensor in the car does not work. From this article you will learn why the speed sensor does not work, as well as how to check the specified sensor.

For example, breakdowns that can be caused by misfires and other failures can quickly destroy the engine. For this reason, it is important to monitor the tachometer while operating the car. If it is noticeable that the engine speed is floating or jumping, it is necessary to accurately determine and properly eliminate the malfunction.

I’m driving and at some point the abs and brake lights up, the tachometer needle starts jumping and the speedometer drops to zero, the temperature needle drops dead, a minute later everything is normal, then the same story again. I ran diagnostics and there were no errors.

DD. I have the same problem) We visited an electrician, he was shocked and said this is the first time he’s seen something like this on a Toyota. Diagnostics showed an error in the abs, he went in and re-soldered all the wires, thinking maybe it was coming off somewhere. A day later they did the diagnostics again, there were no errors. He said it should be left, he will disassemble and look at the abs sensor itself.

I don’t know how the KYB behaves on the Camry40, but the KYB Excel G was installed on the Subaru. For the 40 thousand km that I drove on them, the flight was normal. Where can I get it? They can be factory or crap. I took it to a Subarik service station, they don’t sell Camrys there))

Basically I get all the spare parts from the faeton, but taking into account the exchange rate, their prices for KYB have become a little higher

about 2000 tenge than boutiques in Carcity specializing only in KYB

At the moment there is a model KYB 339024 in stock (I don’t know about Excel G) at a price of 19 thousand per piece

Kayaba will be tougher, Tokiko softer. Taking into account the fact that 45ka itself is not soft (compared to 25), I will use Tokiko. In winter, 13 per piece. were worth it.

And at least on the Outback 2001 subarik, Kayabas are installed from the factory, so they are like family ones.

19 is a bit expensive, I bought 15 for a runner made in Japan, although I haven’t installed it yet, but it looks much neater than the Taiwanese ones.

Along with the racks, you can immediately install spacers and raise them to factory parameters.

Greetings gentlemen, I can’t find a floor for the trunk (like cardboard or chipboard), is there any information on where to buy it?

I wanted to cut it out of chipboard myself, I don’t have a template. As luck would have it, my friends don’t have a Camry 40

Adilbek Sadubayev

Good afternoon friends!

I have a Camry 40 2.4 2007. American 150 thousand km mileage

I encountered such a problem, the gas began to disappear at the start, it barely reacted at all, even if you push it to the floor, it doesn’t care. After 40-50 km/h it already started to choke (you mean, react to gasulka)

What I did: Changed the spark plugs, installed them according to the catalogue. Cleaned the injectors and throttle body. Changed the engine oil. I changed almost the entire fuel system (pump, filter, some kind of mesh)

The problem went away, but not immediately, they said there was just air left in the fuel system. By the time I got out, a day had passed, then the car seemed to breathe and began to chug.

But now another problem has arisen, about 2-3 weeks have passed, it began to jerk the engine when you stand on D (as if the speed drops for a couple of seconds) and when you start it makes jerks, even on N when you accelerate at the beginning it does this for some reason failure. Afterwards everything is fine, it accelerates normally, the speed is normal. Only when you stand, and when accelerating from a standstill, it feels dull. Please advise what to do? Who came across it? At least where to dig, I would be grateful.

A car speedometer is a measuring device for determining the instantaneous speed of a car. Readings are displayed in kilometers per hour (km/h).

The speedometer is an important instrument on the dashboard of any modern car. There are situations when the speedometer fails and begins to show incorrect readings. This can greatly affect the favorable movement of your car. Speedometer breakdowns can manifest themselves in different ways.

Fuel sensor

The most common issue here is the thermistor. In this case, the alarm indicating a low fuel level in the gas tank disappears. Replacing a spare part is quite simple. It is enough to get to the fuel pump by removing the rear seat, disconnect the adjacent hoses and unscrew the bolts on it.

On the left, in a plastic case, there is a thermistor sleeve. You need to unsolder it, pull out the remains and then insert a new thermistor into it. It is advisable to solder it strictly in the center, and after the sleeve has cooled, you can solder the wire. The fuel pump is assembled and installed in the reverse order.

temperature sensor

Two temperature sensors are located to the right of the engine. One (which has one wire) is needed to signal the temperature - it is connected to the arrow on the dashboard, and the other sends readings to the “brain” of the car, which calculates the supply of the fuel-air mixture.

Sensors are as easy to change as spark plugs. In this case, you should not be afraid of a strong leakage of coolant, provided that you do not touch the radiator cap.

Electronic

In an electronic speedometer, speed is measured in a non-contact manner. There are several options for the operation of devices using the optoelectronic principle, but the most common speed meters are meters based on the Hall effect. Therefore, most of the attention is paid to the latest devices. In the speed sensor, a cable connected to the gearbox driven shaft rotates a magnetic disk with a cutout or protrusion (reference point). The magnet, depending on the rotation speed, changes the intensity of the magnetic flux, which affects the resistance of the energized metal sensor. The pulses enter the electronic circuit of the speedometer, which sets the angle of deflection of the needle on the instrument panel dial.

Malfunctions of the electronic speedometer and their elimination

With an electronic speed meter, failures manifest themselves in almost the same way as with mechanical analogues, with additional nuances. The device does not show the actual speed. Otherwise, the arrow freezes and does not drop to zero. It happens that the panel shows a jerky movement of the indicator.

Before you start disassembling the instrument panel if the speedometer has completely failed, you need to check the integrity of the fuses located in a separate block. Sometimes, repairs end with a banal fuse replacement.

In any case, it would not hurt to know how to check the functionality of the electronic speedometer. Speedometer malfunctions are mainly related to the speed sensor (DS). If the arrow drops down or freezes without moving, then check this device first. To perform diagnostics, you need to remove the device from the car. To do this proceed as follows:

• the car is driven into a pit;
• DS is found below. On most cars, sensors are installed in the gearbox housing;
• open the connector with a three-wire wire;
• use a spanner to unscrew the fastening bolt;
• the sensor is removed from the socket;
• On the response chip there are three contacts, one extreme one is “ground”, the other is plus (12 V). The middle contact is the signal source connected by wire to the ECU;
• Use a multimeter to check the voltage at one of the outer terminals. If there is no current, then check the integrity of the supply wire and its connection;
• a wire with a voltage of 12 V is applied to the central contact. If at the same time the arrow begins to move, this means a breakdown of the speed sensor;
• Once they are convinced that the DS is unusable, they replace it.

If the speed sensor turns out to be working, then all suspicions of a breakdown fall on the electronic control unit. It is almost impossible to repair the ECU in a garage. This peculiar computer is a rather complex electronic device and access to its contents is “prohibited” for amateurs.

A sign that the ECU is responsible for a speedometer failure is when the “Check Engine” sign lights up. A vehicle owner who professionally owns a laptop with special software can independently find out the specific cause of the “brain center” disorder. Otherwise, it is better to give up trying to repair the ECU with your own hands and contact a service station.

Idle speed sensor

The main problem with the idle speed sensor is clogging, which prevents normal mixing of fuel and air. When cleaning it, in almost 100% of cases it is also necessary to clean the throttle valve with the injector.

To do this, you need to unscrew the mounting bolts and wash everything using carburetor cleaning fluid. When disassembling, it is worth remembering which side the mesh was installed on. This is very important, since after proper assembly you can be sure that you won’t have to lift the hood lid for a long time.

Knock sensor

The correct operation of the car engine depends on its operation. The dashboard will immediately signal its malfunction in some way.

It can only be repaired by testing on special equipment, which is available only in auto repair shops, but replacing it with a new one will not be difficult. The cost of this spare part is low.

All sensors from Toyota Camry 40 are widely available for sale. It is possible to purchase both original spare parts and their cheaper analogues from China, which will be of slightly worse quality, but at a low price.

Toyota Camry Engine Control Sensors

Sensors in the engine management system transmit information to the electronic control unit, from which the ECU calculates the parameters for regulating fuel injection and ignition timing control.

AIR FLOW SENSOR

Rice. 1. Air flow sensor: 1 – platinum “heated filament”; 2 – thermistor; 3 – air flow; 4 – intake air temperature sensor

A plug-in type air flow sensor allows a portion of the intake air to flow through the sensing element area.

Directly measures intake air mass and flow, measurement accuracy is improved and air flow resistance is reduced.

The air flow sensor has a built-in intake air temperature sensor.

CRANKSHAFT ANGLE SENSOR

Rice. 2. Crankshaft angle sensor: 1 – synchronization rotor; 2 – crankshaft angle sensor; 3 – synchronization rotor (720 °CA); 4 – missing teeth

The crankshaft synchronization rotor has 34 teeth, 2 teeth are missing.

The crankshaft angle sensor (see Fig. 2) outputs crankshaft rotation signals every 10°, the missing teeth are used to determine top dead center.

CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR

Rice. 3. Camshaft position sensor: 1 – synchronization rotor; 2 – camshaft position sensor; 3 – synchronization rotor (720 ° CA)

The camshaft position sensor (Fig. 3) is installed on the left of the cylinder head.

To determine the position of the camshaft, there is a protrusion on the synchronization rotor, when it passes next to the sensor, 1 pulse is generated for every 2 revolutions of the crankshaft.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR

Rice. 4. Throttle position sensor: 1 – sensor

This sensor converts the throttle opening angle into electrical signals with two different characteristics and transmits them to the engine's electronic control unit (Fig. 4).

One signal (VTA) is a linear change in voltage over the entire range of throttle opening angle, the other is a signal (VTA2) of bias voltage.

FUEL PEDAL POSITION SENSOR

Rice. 5. Fuel control pedal position sensor: 1 – sensor

This sensor converts the angle of rotation of the fuel control pedal into electrical signals with two different characteristics and transmits them to the electronic engine control unit (Fig. 5).

One signal (VPA) is a linear change in voltage over the entire range of rotation angle of the fuel control pedal, the other is a signal (VPA2) of bias voltage.

EFI System Electronic Fuel Injection System

Fuel injection system with electronically controlled type L intake air using a hot-wire air flow sensor.

An independent injection system is used (in which fuel is injected into each cylinder once for every two revolutions of the crankshaft).

In addition, when starting the engine, group injection is used (fuel is injected once into two cylinders for each crankshaft revolution).

There are two operating modes of the fuel injection system:

a) synchronous injection, in which the basic injection duration is adjusted based on sensor signals so that fuel injection always occurs at a certain crankshaft position;

b) asynchronous injection, in which fuel is injected when requests are detected from sensor signals, regardless of the crankshaft angle.

In addition, to protect the engine and improve fuel efficiency, the system performs fuel cut-off, which temporarily stops fuel injection according to driving conditions.

ETCS-I (Electric Throttle Control Intelligent) system

In a conventional throttle body, the opening of the throttle valve is uniquely determined by the force on the fuel control pedal.

In contrast, with ETCS-i, the engine's electronic control unit calculates the optimal throttle opening angle to suit driving conditions and uses the throttle motor to control the opening of the throttle valve.

The throttle cable and lever were removed and the position sensor was installed on the fuel pedal.

The electronic engine control unit operates the throttle motor by setting the target throttle angle according to the vehicle's driving conditions.

It controls the throttle valve to constantly maintain the engine idle speed at a certain level.

Shock protection

During gear changes, throttle control is synchronized with the ECT (Electronically Controlled Transmission) system to reduce shock loads

Automatic speed control system

The engine electronic control unit with integrated cruise control electronics directly actuates the throttle valve for automatic cruise control

VVT-I system (intelligent valve timing control)

The VVT-i system is designed to control the intake camshaft over a wide 50° range (crankshaft angle) to provide valve opening or closing timing that optimally matches engine operating conditions, thereby increasing torque across all speed ranges rotation and fuel efficiency and reducing emissions of harmful substances from exhaust gases.

The actual opening or closing timing of the intake valve is determined by the camshaft position sensor for constant comparison with the target timing of opening or closing the valve and generating the appropriate control action.

Engine cooling fan control

Unlike the previous electric fan system, the coolant temperature switch has been removed.

The main causes of speedometer malfunction on Camry

Typical reasons why the speedometer does not work largely depend on its configuration, gearbox type, and Camry body version. And if on old “twenties” and “thirties” you can still find mechanical models, then newer, not to mention modern, models are equipped exclusively with an electronic system.

The principle of operation of the mechanism is as follows:

1. Mechanical devices are equipped with a cable drive and operate on the following principle: rotational movements from the gearbox shaft are transmitted through a cable to the speedometer. Accordingly, the higher the rotation speed, the greater the value it will show. The weakest point in this scheme is the cable drive installed in the gearbox. This is the common reason why the speedometer does not work on a Toyota Camry up to 1998.
2. Electronic models. They can look like the usual round dials with divisions, or display the current speed mode of the car in numbers. At the same time, there is no rigid mechanical connection between the device and the gearbox - all data is transmitted via wires and processed by a microprocessor built into the dashboard.

The device can receive information about the speed of a car in two ways:

• using a sensor installed in the gearbox;
• using the ABS sensor located on the front right wheel.

It is important to know that there are not and never have been any additional sensors installed on the right wheel drive in any Camry design: it simply has an outboard bearing installed, thanks to which vibrations are dampened.

Replacing the DD on the 3S-FE motor

Replacing the knock sensor on a 3S-FE power unit does not require special skills or a long time. First you need to loosen the front wheel mounting bolts on the right side. After this, the car is jacked up and the steering tip is disconnected from the steering knuckle. This will provide space for dismantling the DD. In the future you will need to perform the following steps:

• in the resulting niche, you can find the 3S-FE knock sensor using a flashlight. Its feature is a chip with one contact. It must be disconnected;
• The sensor is unscrewed using a 27mm socket and a ratchet. There may be problems with tearing it out of place. In this case, you will need to use an additional lever;
• Unscrew the DD completely and install a new one.

The procedure for installing a new sensor on a 3S-FE engine is performed in reverse order.

Engine detonation

An incorrect ignition process in the 3S-FE power unit occurs due to a disruption in the normal combustion cycle of the fuel mixture in the cylinders. The fuel supplied to the combustion chamber burns too quickly, which contributes to the formation of a large amount of energy. It leads to the formation of an impact force that interferes with the normal movement of the piston.

Detonation occurs when the fuel mixture ignites at a time when the piston has not yet completed the compression cycle. The time for normal ignition of the air-fuel mixture should coincide with the moment the piston approaches top dead center. In this case, the spread of the resulting flame in the cylinder should be carried out at a speed of 30 m/s. The detonation process in the 3S-FE engine is accompanied by an increase in this indicator to 2000 m/s.

What can cause an engine to knock?

There are two main causes of detonation in 3S-FE engines:

• non-compliance with the operating modes of the power unit;
• use of low quality gasoline.

Engine malfunction most often occurs when it is operating under load. In this case, it is necessary to correctly combine the crankshaft speed with the corresponding gear. Otherwise, the operation of the motor will be accompanied by loud metallic knocks. Another factor contributing to the formation of detonation is early ignition. This factor is accompanied by ignition of the fuel until the piston returns to top dead center. This leads to the formation of a counterforce relative to the movement of the piston.

The state of the combustion chamber has a strong influence on the formation of detonation. The presence of heavy carbon deposits leads to a reduction in volume, which increases the compression ratio, as well as an increase in the temperature inside the cylinder. When operating the 3S-FE engine with spark plugs with an inappropriate heat rating, incorrect ignition may also occur.

The ratio of the supplied air-fuel mixture is controlled by an electronic control unit. Factory settings allow the fuel to burn within a set period of time. When changes are made to the ECU through the use of new firmware, engine detonation may occur over time.

The likelihood of improper ignition in the 3S-FE engine also depends on the gasoline used. First of all, it may appear due to non-compliance with the octane number prescribed by the manufacturer. But there are situations when owners comply with the requirements for the gasoline used, but the problem still arises. In this case, the cause is low quality fuel.

Consequences of detonation

The process of incorrect ignition leads to negative consequences for the engine, which may be accompanied by its complete failure or a significant reduction in service life. Among them:

• power is significantly lost;
• fuel consumption increases;
• the resource of the crank mechanism and cylinder-piston group decreases;
• temperature increases.

The shock wave resulting from untimely combustion of the mixture leads to disruption of the oil film inside the cylinders. This is accompanied by an increase in friction between the piston and cylinder, which entails a violation of the engine temperature regime. As a result of constant overheating, general or local, the head gasket may burn out or the piston may melt.

Operating principle of DD

The main structural part of the knock sensor is a disk-shaped piezoelectric element. It is designed to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy when a set oscillation frequency occurs. In cases where, as a result of detonation, the oscillation frequency of the power unit increases and it becomes equal to the setting of the piezoelectric element, current will begin to flow around it. This will be recorded by the electronic control unit. The sensor is directly screwed into the 3S-FE motor, having a connection to the ECU with one wire.

Camry 40, the fuel level in the tank is lying.

Great, guys. I would like to know your opinion about my bedulka. I drive, but it’s not nice to know that something is broken. In general, after installing the alarm, I immediately noticed at a gas station that the fuel level in the tank was rising sooooooo slowly. You fill up earlier, turn the key, the arrow shows everything. Now it takes about 5 minutes to rise. I thought it was bullshit with the fuel sensor in the tank, I climbed in there, pulled it out into the light of day and what, the sensor is like a sensor - the fly was not sitting. Normal as on 10, the principle is resistive. I turned off the blocking of the fuel pump radio relay, the problem was not solved. Then I think that the problem is in the tidy. The cost of a new tidy is 50 thousand. The toad is real. The sensor in the tank is 1 thousand, there is no question if it needs to be replaced. One thing that confuses me is that if the arrow rises, I turn off the car and then start it at any time, the arrow rises instantly. It happens that I drive until “thawed” - on the display the power reserve is 0 km, if you fill up the petrol with 200-300 rubles, the needle rises slowly, but the power reserve shows 0.

Common speedometer faults

• The speedometer needle shows a value that clearly does not correspond to the current movement, for example “0”;
• The speedometer needle constantly “sticks” and remains in one position;
• The speedometer readings “jump” regardless of the actual speed of the car.

The speedometer is divided into mechanical and electronic. And depending on which of these two types of speedometers your car is equipped with, the reasons for its malfunction (and, therefore, repair methods) may vary.

For a mechanical speedometer, a common cause of its breakdown is damage or disconnection of the cable. The speedometer cable could become disconnected if the fastening nuts were loosened or simply loosened. In any case, the check must begin with the speedometer cable fastenings. If the cable itself shows signs of wear (damage, abrasions, etc.) with the naked eye, this means that the speedometer cable needs to be replaced.

It is recommended that before installing a new cable, apply lubricant to its surface, which will further protect the cable from premature failure. Keep in mind that the new cable must be exactly the same length as the one that was to be replaced. Also, with mechanical speedometers, damage to the mechanical part of the device itself is quite common. In order to diagnose the speedometer mechanism, it is necessary to disassemble the instrument panel, and then rotate the speedometer drive cable, observing the readings given by the device. If the speedometer needle remains stationary or moves erratically, this means that the speedometer mechanism cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a new one.

As for electric speedometers, the cause of their breakdowns must be sought, first of all, in the electronics. If the electronic speedometer fails, the check should begin with the speed sensor, because it is from this that the speedometer receives information. In addition, you need to check the integrity and serviceability of the sensor contacts - if there are traces of corrosion or oxidation, the contacts need to be cleaned.

A speedometer is a device that shows the speed of a car at a given time. Regardless of the device, its appearance is expressed in the form of a dial indicator, although there are cars where the speed limit is reflected in numbers on the LCD screen. Malfunctions of this device can manifest themselves in different ways. They have one thing in common: it is impossible to travel on such transport. You can only get to the garage or the nearest service station to find out why the speedometer is not working.
