My I am not a mechanic but listing to what you were saying before you mention the alternator I realized it was it. Great job. You need anybody to work with you just let me know.
Helpful video, man! Gained more automotive knowledge watching this particular epismuch. Since I own a 2011 RAV4 LIMITED, it's all that much better that I've learned from your work and diagnosis. Thank you so much.
Good stuff Deo! As a DIY mechanic, I would love to know the theory behind back-probing the alternator connector. For future videos involving electrical components, my wish would be to see electrical diagrams and understand your thought process and the why behind your diagnostic approach.
Good job testing the Alternator control wires. I met a car where tge customer replaced the battery and then alternator by a mechanic but it was really a faulty $2,000 ECM not sending control power output to the alternator😢.
I previously owned a 2010 RAV4 and in the 12 years that I owned it, besides maintenance every 5k miles, I replaced the alternator and rear wheel bearings. I sold it in good running condition with about 160,000 miles. The alternator is easy to replace.
Great video Deo. That alternator, although brand new, is a product of China. It began it's life in China and is made totally from Chinese materials. I'd rather install a Duralast Premium Remanufactured alternator. At least it is an original part that has new bearings, brushes and anything else that normally wears out installed in it. It comes with a lifetime limited warranty that is good until you no longer own the vehicle. I had one in my Chevy for about 9 years with no problems.
Fantastic job and very good in explaining the process .and right on target, do you charge for testing? because is an added cost to customer. very well done.
Great work I wish all mechanic shows their work like this. I just have my spark plugs changed on my Toyota Camry, and still the noise didn't improve. How do I know they changed?
Hello Kit's Auto, I have been following your informative videos. Could you recommend the Toyota car model with the best transmission system? I am a Toyota enthusiast and would appreciate your advice. Thank you.
You should charge the battery fully before starting the engine after replacing the alternator . You dont want to stress the alternator by making it charge a fully discharged battery.
Usually, it's straightforward testing for Alternator if it is functioning ,battery reading ideal should be 12.40 Amp's and after starting the engine the reading should jump to 13.50 to 14.50 Amp's this confirming the Alternator is working fine and if the reading still 12.40 Amp's is conforming that the Alternator is not functioning and Alternator must be replaced [C$165+tax] same problem happened with me on Toyota Matrix 2010 ,power steering was jammed.
This could only fix for 15 buck by replacing alternator carbon brush that's what I have done with my alternator on toyota camry and it has been running last 2 year. I like your way of working not like typical American mechanic.
Why didn't you check the voltage output of the alternator right away? Engine on, check voltage at battery looking for more than 13 volts. Don't see 13? Change alternator.
The RAV4 has had EPS since 2006, 16+ years ago. What's interesting is that for whatever reason other Toyota models such as Camry and Sienna didn't adapt it until years later.
These rav4 and vanguard with 2AZ engine are nasty on burning alternators you need to add more engine grounds and add one ground to gear box directly from negative terminal it will solve this issue permanently
I would love to comment, but YOU TUBE is trying to extort me in turning off my Ad blocker so they can jam their stupid ads down my throat, by blocking the videos!
@@Blownproductions The AD blocker is supplied FREE by Google Chrome and other vendors... and I have the RIGHT to use it. Obviously, I must not be the ONLY ONE that finds the incessant ads annoying, or Chrome and other platforms wouldn't be supplying the extensions! It would be totally different if I were hacking You Tube to avoid them. Wouldn't mine them so much but they go overboard with them popping up in the middle of a video! You Tube gets paid anyway, by their advertisers, to pay it's content creators: and 14 dollars month (or 139 dollars a year) just to avoid being barraged by repeated annoying ads is just another expense that many Americans have to worry about: just to get the (sometimes crucial) information they need to navigate these perilous times! What they're doing is restricting a person's right to information: a right that was previously not infringed upon on by You Tube... and is a VIOLATION of the FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT. This hurts the content creators as well,...as their content won't reach it's desired audience a won't get paid for content 'likes and subcriptions that no one can watch! !
You know, you should have charged that battery with electricity and not left it so that the alternator charges it, now the alternator is under heavy load and that's how you shorten its life...
There is no need for all this fussing and showing off. I know that you are capable and good mechanic, but do not make the topics difficult for beginners. Let them swim at the beach after they may go deep themselves?

Could you make a video to show us those tools that you currently use and ODB2 scanner.

my guess is that battery will need replacing in the not too distant future
@ManWander the battery is still new
I don't think Toyota' Rav4's of this vintage have an electric rack and pinion. It's hydraulic, if I'm not mistaken.
These Rav4's have an electric steering rack
@richard112360 No! This one had an electric steering system
The RAV4 has had EPS since 2006, 16+ years ago. What's interesting is that for whatever reason other Toyota models such as Camry and Sienna didn't adapt it until years later.
