    I was a Master Toyota Tech for 36 years. Some of the best vehicles I ever serviced. They are very tough and reliable. I have 3 now with each over 300K and still kicking perfect. Good presentation of the knock sensors.

      Psh, yeah best vehicles as long as you keep dumping money into them. These knock sensors are a huge problem in Toyotas and cost a fortune to fix. I've had to spend over $4k in getting an old Lexus RX fixed. I've spent more money fixing this piece of junk than all other vehicles I've owned combined. NEVER buying Toyota ever again!

    My 2004 Highlander 3.3L V-6 finally needed an alternator at about 400K. Starter is original, AC blows ice cold, never needed any sort of repair. The issue many well meaning long term owners have is that their techs cut corners because typically owners of old cars want the cheapest things. I do most of my own service work, but for some things I don't tackle (like timing belts) my tech knows I want quality parts and things done right. Techs like Ivan are worth their weight in gold and enable people to keep well made cars on the road for decades. I spend maybe $100/month maintaining my old HL, compare that to the payment on a new one, omg. I also have cheaper insurance, cheaper 16" tires and many other lower costs that come along with older cars. Yeah, I don't have fancy screens or massaging seats, but I retired young instead...hhhmmmm

I do keep the maintenence to it every year for my costumer, 94 is 188k, 02 is 150k. Still runs good! Also my chevy blazer is 268,000 miles and all runs good, just leaks bit of oil. Not bad for this old! Great job on testing on the knock sensor on the pico!! Love how you did! ❤️ great video, Ivan. You're the man!

    I just googled it and found out it is a municipality in Pennsylvania. Fooled me. lol
    I have never met a mechanic that does such in depth diagnostics to find the exact cause of a car problem. Most just wheel out the parts cannon and fire away.

    I went aftermarket on my mothers Highlander.. to save some money.. same codes set. Both bank 1 and bank 2 knock sensor codes.
    It would go into limp mode when it set the code.
    Took scope captures of before and after. It was better. But the computer wasn’t happy. Bit the bullet and bought Toyota factory ones. No issues. Lesson learned. Ha

    Fantastic to see it out right! It deserved it for sticking around! Asked my African friend the mileage he got on his identical mini van and I stand corrected, it’s actually just over 200K miles. He drives as if the gas pedal is a switch.. not even joking. He also twice misunderstood how to do the oil and overfilled it with the wrong oil twice he told me.. sad Toto see that happen to such a well built and designed engine that clearly can last is cared for..
    Meanwhile having cut back on the mileage for me 2011 volvo XC70, like 310K or 320K miles still.. moved up or sideways i the world. Picked up a $2,500 C30 from some chick with like 150K miles and a 2012 XC70 with like 250K+ miles for $3800 (I think I over paid during the absolute peak of this bubble). but got even more stuff to go wrong than ever fully loaded oh yea baby!!! Edit: oh also it’s a bit beat up (actually both are) but I don’t care, I’ll fix it in long run over time.

    Great job! I replaced the cam, crank, and oil pump seals on the wife's Camry when I'd change the timing belt. Also - and just as important - I'd change the oil pump body/cover o-ring. That o-ring will harden and crack, making it look like the oil pan gasket is leaking.

    That was great!! On the hard ones, I usually find a threaded hole near the intake manifold and screw an OEM sensor in. So far it has always worked. On the 5.3's there is a way to just use one sensor by rejigging the wiring. I have done that three or four times. For poor budget people, we just want to smog it. I'm sure if u had some radical knocking going on, it would back the timing off. Please don't be mad at me😥😥

    good idea on the sensor bench test. Will start doing some knock sensor testing same way to see how good new sensor output is .
    Can't beat 90's to very early 2000's for proper longevity build/component quality .
    Based on manufacture to end of life environmental impact it really good and hardly any parts/service waste in over half a million miles, trouble is true environmental solutions don't make big profits, big companies want you buying new every few years, no easy money if make products that faultless for 3 decades 😕
    Was enough electrical be useful along with good quality and well located within vehicle so rarely much drama .
    Once you start going past 2005 the hassle and longevity and daily reliability declines until you get to latest garbage that faulty right off the production line lol .
    All my old Japanese wagons have been incredibly reliable and low cost, I done 35 years minimal hassle motoring for less than people paying for a brand new headache at the car dealers lol .
    My work and customer bills highlights fact too, all the ridiculous failures & crazy hassle and big $ bills are newer garbage ...

    I had a similar vehicle problem recently. It had an aftermarket fuel injector and was missing on that cyl. I swapped that injector to another cyl and the plug to a different one and that cyl plus the one I swapped the injector into were now dead. I ohmed out the injector signal wire to the PCM to find out if it had a bad driver on that port. It was fine. Turns out the aftermarket injector was bad AND the wire couldn't carry enough load to fire it.
    I got to thinking about the "chicken or egg" implications of it, and conclude that the wire went bad so someone misdiagnosed it to be a bad injector so put the aftermarket junk in there, which was probably bad from the git-go, but even though it failed my test didn't mean it was the *cause* of the problem.

    knock sensors are a pain on most engines. Thankfully on a Subaru 3.6L you do not have to remove the intake (service data states you do). Remove alternator and MAP/BARO sensor and go in though there to get them.... Also, on parts like that, I never use aftermarket. OEM only

    Toyotas always had great reliability in that generation. My 2001 Corolla now has 216,700 and it runs like new. .I just replaced the tensioner, water pump and belt and rear wheel bearing and hub. Bearings were making noise.
    Question for you. I don't have the wiring diagrams for the power outlet on the center console (there is a 12 volt power outlet behind the shifter, but I need to figure out where the wiring to it comes from. Is it coming from the cig lighter outlet on the dash or someplace else? That outlet on the center console does not work but the one on the dash does. No power at the wires at the one on the center console.

      I don't see a separate fuse for the second outlet, but when I pulled the lower front of the dash to access the lights on the HVAC, I was able to see 2 separate wire sets plugged into the outlet on the dash. I don't have access to alldata, but I did look and can't find a diagram for the second outlet.

    I'd definitely recommend an AC service on that vehicle. It's absolutely low on refrigerant, even though it's still getting cold. Low refrigerant means low oil flow. Low oil flow means catastrophic compressor failure. A simple evac and recharge with a machine would be a very wise thing to do.
