Started the car this evening and the fuel tank caution lamps is on, thankfully it has just decided to play up today as I only got got back from the Flinders yesterday.
The book says to take it to Toyota for repair, however experience tells me to leave the Dealer as the last resort. Does anyone know how to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Tony

Hi Tony
Most servos out back have old tanks...this can cause problems for the sub transfer system. If the pump pulls too much current, it will go into fault code. Its a good idea to buy a filter and add it to the pipework b4 the pump, make it a steel outer from the early efi datsuns and you will be right as far as rupturing it.
Also, FYI, the processor that controls this system is behind the LHS plastic in the 7 and 8
seat position, or directly below the last window on the passenger side. Pulling the plug on it does thesame as disconnecting the battery, without having to reset anything else. :-)
