Cat (electrician) alert. Meowing money pit.
Hi I have 2015
Chevy suburban with 200k miles have p0036,p0037,p0038 and p0041 codes.what is it and what is the remedy please.thanks
You're a good man Scotty.
Hey Scotty whats the reason most ppl cover the lic plate when in a video i see sometimes you cover it but this video y out didnt?
It s full of plastic scotty. Give me a honda type r any day of the week. Maybe a 2008 honda civic fd2 mugen rr. 240hp naturally aspirated.
Scotty sells more Toyotas with his UA-cam videos than his local Toyota dealership .
😂😂
Lol I have a Toyota. It’s super nice
One of the local Toyota ripped off a customer $12k and went to Scotty for help. After Scotty's video they refunded the lady the money. Local dealerships hate Scotty too.
😂
😂
As a Japanese person it makes me happy when he associates Japan with quality. :D
Quality women too👅
Japenese cars are so great
Yep - I have a 2014 corolla. Best car I've owned in the 30 plus years I've been driving. Almost 86,000 miles, and runs like new.
I only ever buy Japanese motorcycles. They're simply the best.
@@cayrick3488 u mean u watch their porn lol don't actually get them irl 😂
I love how Scotty finds a way to compare everything with his Celica.
What Celica?
he didn't do his cat yet!
His crown jewel
I can relate to Scotty😄👍 Still driving my 1990 Toyota Celica
No car can really compare to the 94 Celica.
Scotty has been Toyota's best salesman for years. I was wondering when they would reward his loyalty to the brand.
Why isn't toyota beating his door down to give him a car of his choice Lol
2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid
cause they don't sell 1994 Celica's anymore. lol
@@MrDantab1980 I could be wrong but I think they gave him that hybrid,. He has been showing it a lot and it does not have the " Scotty " Plates he uses to protect the plates of his customers. He never protects his own plates. Lastly he will be the first to tell you he is too cheap to buy a new car. So why was a new car there that he was not working on? Just say,n
They really should
I think they realized that in order for him to continue to sing their praises, they have to continue to make high quality cars, not give them to Scotty.
This was the longest Toyota commercial I’ve ever seen.
Don't delay, get yours today!
I want to see celica in crusher
fr I want to get one bad now
@@trexmidnite Ordering the crusher to work in slow-motion and have dear ol' Scotty strapped in a chair, a few feet away, having to watch the whole thing in real-life ??
I see nightmares already! :-)
About time Toyota gave their top sales man ,Scotty a car! My family has bought 7 of them in the last 5 year's because Scotty told us too. We had no problem with any of them. Thanks Scotty
Earl Baker same. We got at least 3 cars based off scotty’s advice.
This guy is the reason why I do a full comprehensive history check and full research on the engineering that was involved on any car I buy😂😂
Yes, same here. Thanks Scotty
I bought a used highlander, completely made in Japan before they moved production to the US. tires and brakes so far...love it. no check engine lights and weve already put 15k miles on it. runs like a top. Im constantly fighting trouble codes with my same year F250, and I drive that behemoth a fraction of the miles ...always something breaking or failing....
Toyota should give him a car, doubt he'd take it thought, it could ruin his reputation taking a gift like that
Two weeks later....
"I was wrong about Toyota 2020 they just dont make them like they use to"

Give 5hrs* 🤣👍🏾Up I was wrong he already made one 8mos. ago. I just seen it in my suggestions. 🤣🤣🐴😂😂👍🏾
Ahhh , he has to blab about something
😂
He never said he bought it! Just that he "got" it! He's just changing the oil or something! lol
I had a 1988 Toyota Celica (Made in Japan) Had it for 25 years, and it still had the original engine and transmission. The most reliable car I've ever owned.
6:46 The "B" mode is for "Applying moderate engine braking driving down hills", it's in the 4-2 Driving Procedures section of the Owners Manual.
Was just about to comment that!
Yeah i wan going to emphasize the same thing
It is for having the engine braking
Someone tell Scotty b4 he embrasses himself
@@DaDdy79462 yes. Also, the “whine” he heard on reverse is actually a pedestrian warning sound. So dumb
“If you want speed, you want the regular Corolla...”. 🤣🤣
Hahaha "speed"
I’d opt for the Triumph!
That B setting on the gearbox means braking, not battery. You can use the motor for braking. It recharges the battery at the same time. I have a CHR hybride.
@@paultrewin5871 thats a pretty brilliant setup. I kinda dig the CHR its just a modified Corolla but its quirky.
lol
Boy I just shine with pride when he shouts out my home town.... 🇨🇦 Toyota is about the best manufacturing gig in town left over from the good ol days
Still a boring country

Don't be silly, it'll be exact same Celica as now, just with an oil change. Thing will never die.
@@NomadicBristolview that sounds more like it😂😂
i wish celica was still produced. . .the new supra is.. odd lol
@@abandonedhope2606 or the old Supra, both were great cars. Not sure about the new Supra.
Toyota’s Hybrid’s may have less horse power in the ICE (internal combustion engine), but the they also have a single speed transmission which, in conjunction with the electric motor, actually makes them faster off the line, than ICE only cars. I have proven this time and time again with the Prius, Hybrid Corollas, and my current Hybrid Camry.
There may be a slight higher purchase price, but they also save a fortune on maintenance, brake pads last a long time, oils last longer, despite Scotty’s carry on about the high voltage battery, for people who use these cars on average driving cycles, you SHOULD never have to replace the battery.
Fleet and high mileage vehicles MAY require ONE change of Hybrid battery (best to replace the whole thing rather than individual cells) after about 10 years.
And finally, Scotty, it’s not the first ever Corolla Hybrid ever made. Maybe the first on sale in America, but in Australia we’ve had them for 6 years.
My Toyota auris hybrid. First brake pads change was at 120 miles. Got the corrola estate now and averaging 70 mpg UK gallons.
I get around 55-57 mpg. I drive 160 miles a day. About 98% highway. 62mph is the sweet spot on Cruise control. The engine turns off and uses the hybrid mode when it’s level ground or down hill. When not using cruise control you can use the electric motor alone with the engine off up to 70 mph BUT you have to be progressive with the gas pedal. I bought mine in July 2021, I already have 15,000 miles! No regrets. I get about 550 miles per tank. Only has a 10 gallon gas tank.
If you go 75mph on highway what would you say your mpg would be? My older Prius C really tanks on the highway 65-73mph gets me 45mpg vs backroads 50-54mpg.
has anyone notice that scotty's street is filled with toyotas and hondas?
Ricardo Garza Scotty calls a local tow company for all non-Toyota and Honda vehicles parked in the neighborhood!
When you befriend smart people you copy smart ideas ... when you befriend idiots you copy idiotic ideas...
Scotty's converted all his neighbours!
They have to, otherwise Scotty would fu*k them up
most cars on the road are toyotas n hondas , n some nissans. Japan won the car game years ago.
I definitely recommend this car! Bought it a few months ago and it’s great. I average 55MPG, the screen is gorgeous, and it doesn’t feel slow because of the hybrid motor boost!
how much did you pay for it out the door? how much of a discount did you get?
Braeton Wilson Unfortunately because of the high demand and low stock of the car, there wasn’t that much of a discount. We got $750 Customer cash and they also took off another $500. Out the door I believe it was $23,000. If you’re considering getting it, look at the 2021 hybrid. It now has Blind Spot Monitor and RCTA
@@Nkha6506 23 brand new or?
23k isn't bad considering you end up spending way less on gas.
t8365 yes brand new! Plus the new hybrids come with the 10yr/150k hybrid battery warranty
The UK Corolla is hybrid ONLY and we've had it since 2010. We get a 2.0 hybrid as well. Much faster. 180 horsepower I believe. A ton of torque.
wankers :P

I have this car, and I love it, currently getting 60 miles per gallon on average. Great car
Does this car come with a spare tire?
@@steveguzman19 yes
Steve no. I have this car.
What's the fuel mileage on the highway for longer trips?
@@steveguzman19 some market has, some market have not. US doesn't have spare tire, but it does leave a space for spare tire so you can spent a 100 bucks to put one in if needed.
Love the no-belt engineering. Electric water pump, electric AC compressor, etc. The whole nine yards.
Hey Scotty I think you need to convince your neighbors to ditch that Altima that’s in the background
maybe they're just leasing it, and are planning to get rid of it once the lease expires.
Always get the J in the VIN
G Bax exactly! Nothin beats a car straight from japan
Oh Yeah that’s right “J” for Jerkoff.
I bought one of these a few months ago I’m averaging about 63 mpg. Audio is very nice
How much is it?
How much was it?
34,000 dollars not cheap bro’s
@@erictech201 Wow
@Andrew M. is that out the door? how much of a discount did you get?
Scotty I love Toyota I got this hybrid Corolla when it came out and I get 58 mpg it’s an amazing car. I also own a 1992 Toyota pick up truck with 370,200 miles that thing is still driving like a dream. You can’t never go wrong with Toyota best reliable cars in the market!
I own a 2020 Corolla SE (2.0L) - I LOVE IT. I average 34MPG and I also live in Houston as Scotty does. Mine has 169HP and you can feel the power. It’s quieter compared to the previous generation Corolla and much better looking. 10/10 would recommend
A beautiful little tune for history.
Bought my hybrid after seeing this vid. Almost 1 year later and I still get 55mpg with my grandma like driving. Love the simple interior and with tinted windows it looks amazing
That's my dream car. Seriously. I'm getting one this year or next. Can't wait. Glad Scotty is confirming my choice!
Granny car
@@johncena6701 There is also a 2.0 hybrid version. Which accelerates to 60mph 3 seconds faster and has a 50% more powerful electric motor in it.

Their truck and busses are good, not as durable as HINO from Toyota subsidiary though.
Scotty has been a mechanic “for the last 52 years” for about 15 years now. He must have found the fountain of youth
Watch some of the older videos. There are ones where he says "I've been a mechanic for the last 40 years"...
I think he said he's 66. Looks real good for his age. Said he started as an teenager.
how old is he and when did he start?
Wife just bought a 2022 , getting 58 mpg ( and she’s got a heavy foot) she’s loving it
Scotty is the best. I’d hire him to provide the entertainment at my kids birthday party. My 2006 Highlander Hybrid has 206,000 miles and total hybrid related repairs have been

Hey kids this is my Corolla 94 and basically will last forever.
Now that you are young i will Show you a trick that last forever ......a Toyota .

Always nice to see when Scotty's cat makes an appearance in his videos.
That's right
Agreed. I want to see him include the cat in more videos so I don't have to watch cat videos later
Glitch in the matrix
Shift Lever Position "B" is for "Brake" . Use on long downhills.
Stanny1 and his a master mechanic 😂😂
I own 3 Priuses (Prii) and do all the work myself. I've even repaired the main battery 7 times.Very dependable cars. If you keep them over 10 years, the battery will start to fail. My 2005's modules were failing one after another. So I bought an entire battery from a 2014 Prius for $850 from a junkyard. Runs like a champ now.
Cld b a new feature integrated into the B mode. Regen braking n batt mode only since this newer model can run on battery alone. Who knows..
@@amazoidal Any other issues? Thinking about buying a high mileage Prius and just fixing the battery if I need to
@@outdoordinsmore Really depends on year models. 2005-06 is different than 08-10, gen 2 is different than gen 3 or 4. Battery usually lasts 10-15 years, so a 5 year old high mileage prius is more reliable than a 15 year old low mileage regarding to the battery.
These are phenomenal vehicles I agree,
I have an old 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid
Amazing gas mileage even still after 9 years of owning it!
Never once broke down,
I can recall once the car got 99 MPG, It was impressive!
Wow what were you doing that you got 99mpg?
It happened when I was waiting at a traffic light
Update, I sold it for a 2020 Rav4 Hybrid
I'm buying this car tomorrow
Owner of a 2007 Camry hybrid. 270k miles. No engine or transmission work what so ever. Just motor oil changes and rear brakes replacement. Best car ever!!!!
Scotty was 52 when he became a mechanic 52 years ago in Japan. He's 104 years old. I can do maths.
LMAO!#🤣🔥@Robert Hull
The B on gearlever is for engine braking, not battery :)
Yes and it's pure joy when driving in the city. You control the speed precisely with just the gas pedal.
YES!!! I cannot stand when people put
the gear lever in b on any Toyota hybrid because they think it stands for battery. You are running the engine as an air pump with it in b! You will probally get 10mpg worse at least.
Scotty, the "B" shift mode is not "battery mode" -- that's actually what the EV button does. The B shift mode is for driving down big hills simulating engine breaking.
Wrong, it's full regeneration mode, which slows the whole car down due to the resistance of the generator and acts like low gear. It doesn't "simulate" engine breaking, it is engine breaking/regen.
@@MrNopehaha Wrong. It is NOT full regeneration mode. It is the opposite.
Indeed it does not simulate engine breaking, it IS engine breaking.
And engine breaking is NOT regeneration. Engine braking is done with the ICE engine and just wastes energy into heat. Regeneration is done with the electric motors. But when your battery is 100% full, you cannot do regeneration anymore, so you want the engine braking option.
You only need to use B mode when you cannot do regeneration anymore otherwise you are just wasting energy.
Even in the mountains in Switzerland and Italy I've never had to use B mode. I've only used it once in Germany.
Why did I just have the urge to search for 2020 Corolla Hybrids on UA-cam, then I see Scotty posts this 24 minutes ago
You look like you had a riot Scotty .
I am a very satisfied Prius driver, the car is comfortable, reliable and inexpensive in maintenance. The car is full options and after more than 9 years and 100.000 miles everything functions without fault. In Europe, where I am from, there are Toyota Priuses which have run more than 600.000 miles effortlessly! So, Scotty is right! Toyota's are great cars. In Europe there is also a 2 liter hybrid Corolla available. It has 184 hp, acceleration 0-60 in less than 8 seconds and a limited top speed of 112 m per hour.
Scotty, the B on the gear shift is for Braking, it uses the engine to dump energy to slow you down to replicate downshifting an auto conventional car.
"Made in Japan" cars are the best made cars !
South Korea has everybody beat. Top 3 on JD Power's Initial Quality Study. It's 2020 and Toyota are just getting Android Auto. Bwahahahah.
Id use the kWh rating instead of the Ah when comparing the battery sizes. The Ah rating doesn't necessarily mean the same between two different batteries if they are different voltages. Whereas the kWh rating accounts for the difference in battery voltages and thus is able to directly compare the energy capacity of various batteries. Helpful tip, i really enjoy your videos
I wasn't expecting the 180 ps Corolla Hybrid to be that fast and responsive. Surprising. They worth every cent.
Scotty, I have a 2010 Prius purchased new in May 2009, , now with nearly 180,000 miles, original traction large battery, and believe it or not the original 12 volt battery. Very low cost to maintain as well. There is no fan belt or serpentine belt that needs to be replaced. The engine is driven by a metal chain belt, no need to replace. Spark plugs are good for well over 100,000 miles. 10,000 mile oil changes, I use 0w20 Mobil one and a factory oil filter, no oil used during that time, amazing. The 2020 Corolla is basically the same drive train as well, very dependable, excellent mpg, very low cost to maintain, just change oil, and air filter when needed.
I think I might buy it!!! Thanks Scotty
Got mine at the end of 2019. What I noticed about the gas mileage is that it's usually about 55mpg in the cold months, then gets as high as 65mpg during the summer heat. Then back down to upper 50's as it got colder again. Interesting.
Toyota hybrid vehicles are bulletproof!
I just saw a 2011 Prius on fb marketplace with a dead battery after 111K miles on sale for $7K Totaled smh. Dude said he had a refurbished battery warrantied for 3 months lol.
I bought a 2020 Avalon Hybrid assembled in the US and all of the Toyota quality is there. 44mpg in town in a very big car.
This car is incredible...I bought mine new about 18 months ago.....25K miles later, I have few complaints....passenger seat is terrible....other than that....the car is amazing...i get anywhere from 52mpg(without trying at all) to 63mpg (hypermiling and trying hard) The car has plenty of power...don't let anyone tell you it doesn't....
I currently own 12 Corollas for my driving school business. When it is replacement time I need to look at this hybrid. Beauty
The Corolla dominates the driving school market where I live but the Hybrid version is the next step. For the record, my driving school car was a 1980 Dodge Aspen coupe.
I think the "B" on the shift is for Engine Braking, not "Battery Mode!"
It is for Balls...when you need more speed
Yup, applies engine braking, ole Scotty is thinking about the EV button :P
@@Brandon-eh4tz Yep, it's so you don't go riding the brakes and cook them when driving down a mountain pass.
Yes braking. In our Prius C it seems effective in stop and go driving as the additional braking effect seems to be activating a stronger regeneration charge to the traction battery increasing the charge level. I remember when I read about the "B" position in the manual it didn't really give a clear picture of operation and benefit. Is anyone more familiar with the "B" position?
@@discerningmind Is does increase regenerative braking, also,vat least in some models, run the engine without gas as an air compressor to slow over long downhill stretches.
Lagend has it when Scotty's hands were tied, he couldn't speak.
Tide? Somewhat like laundry soap? ha
@@grassroot011 lol

Not as quiet as Mercedes but its closeish! haha
Hello Scotty keep the reviews coming...stay well, have a great weekend....
My NiMH Battery in my 10 year old Lexus Hybrid has now 255000km on it and is still fine with mileage !
Toyota makes the best hybrids, absolutley low maintenance and great mpg.
"In a few years when I get a good deal out of a used one,,," I just love that!
He read my mind. LoL
The corolla with TSS 2.0 is a great car to "self-drive" with the Tesla-like comma2. It is considered the best self-driving car OTB with an openpilot setup.
It's really only comfy in highway driving. I've owned one for a year and a bit now. National roads? Best you only keep lane assist on ( and even then, be prepared to override ). Nice to have when you're on a backed-up road with no way to overtake though.
Before I forget. Even on a highway, overtaking is a PITA. There is no decent range/ distance setting. The radar pilot generally breaks too soon and revs too late when switching lanes. Kinda gets in the way of other, more constant, drivers. Still, pretty comfy to have over long drives compared to nothing at all.
Piece of advice: get the 2 litre version. The 1.8 is slooow, especially in highway situations or high-speed overtaking ( 110kmph+).
I just purchased a 2020 Camry Hybrid XLE at the beginning of May... it's been a wonderful car so far!! It's NICE.
It’s very cool that the Corolla got a hybrid version. 50+mpg is crazy.
"If you want speed, get the Corolla" ... not words you hear every day.

Well, look at that! Christmas came early for Scotty😂
I love ,love, love my 2010 Prius ! I never thought I would say that . I'm waiting for my Prius to break so I can get a new Toyota hybrid. I got mine be three years ago with 60k miles for $8k and have done fluids and brakes that's it. I get 44-46 mpg just drive it normal like any other car .I can't see buying anything other than a hybrid not because I'm saving the planet because I'm cheep and they have proven to be reliable.
Toyota Hybrids are the most reliable cars on the road.
you might want to look at the 22/23 cross hybrid , it seems to have higher road clearance still get's 40plus , so you could straddle a dead opossum with out fear of it getting smashed into by your oil pan.
Ended getting a Sorrento and a venza will see witch one turns out better . So far about the same except im betting 39-40 mpg and she in venza gets 43-44 mpg . Dont know if it is driving style or the car . The kia is bigger on the inside like a highlander. Very mad about toyota rumor of them disabling the remote start i already paid for and adding a subscription fee. Still working so far.
Toyota should be paying you. After watching so many of your videos mentioning Toyota reliability, we bought a Toyota. Love it so far. Nice complement to our 8 year old Honda CR-V, which I expect will go forever.
My 1989 Toyota Camry 2.0L was made in Japan 100%. I put the highest millage on it than any of my other cars. 260,000+ miles before I fell asleep on the wheel and totaled it. The only major parts I had to replace (myself) were the muffler, brake pads, timing belt, and front crank oil seal. The gas millage was the same as my 2006 Matrix 1.8L; 34mpg.
Very nice and actually pretty impressive for a hybrid. Just an FYI; the "B" gear is actually for Engine Brake which is ideal for downhill or steep drive to help preserve your brakes.
Cheaper to replace breaks than an engine
@@DJ-xi4yt In Hybrids it uses the electric motors to "engine" brake. The "B" shifter setting will start to discharge the battery during regular driving so as to create capacity for braking using the motor, as the current created has to have somewhere to go.
Sharp looking corolla. Love my 2010 corolla ! Thanks for posting!
I got a 2022 yesterday night for my wife! She is happy as happy can be. She drives about 30 miles round trip back and forth between home and work. We are expecting the gas savings to be great.
I slept in one all night during the winter, I’m tall and I slept good while the snowstorm raged on. Because of the hybrid system, the gas tank was still full even after 12 hours.
Hey Scotty.... that’s not a “battery” button ..... that’s stands for braking... similar to low on a conventional transmission
Just bought the same a couple of weeks ago! Totally love it. Great choice. The only upgrade I want is 18" alloys. : )
I am just impressed that you even know who Roky Erickson is. 😎 Keep up the good work and rock on.

People saying it doesn't have power. I drove a 122hp for the past 10 years. Never have I ever not been able to get somewhere because I didn't have enough horses.
The "B" setting is for "brake" not "battery" for going down hill as you don't have lower gears on a CVT gearbox. For electric only you push the EV mode button.
That B on the transmission isn't for battery, it's for brake. All new Carolla and Yaris have it.
Got to love the Corollas. I have a 2000 Toyota Corolla with over 250,000kms on it. I've had no major repairs on it, just a service, and it still runs great :)
When descending a long grade, you use "B" mode which tells the Prius to attempt to emulate "engine braking" in a conventional vehicle. Depending on the vehicle's speed and the battery SOC (state of charge), the Prius will do this using regenerative braking and/or high-RPM zero-fuel-flow engine braking. Prevents overheating the brakes.
UA-cam at it’s best right here. Back in the day you would need one of us community channels on cable TV to do a show like this. Technology is crazy!
I had a discussion with a Toyota tech the other day and was telling me that the American built ones are just as good as Japanese, which really surprised me. I am with you Scotty, l have always heard that Japanese were better built machines. It has nothing to do with American workers, it's that way with any of the other Toyota plants across the world and would rather have a vehicle built from its country of origin with pretty much anything that I'm buying
I have a 10 year old Prius that has been nothing but perfect.
What year model? Is your Prius?

The stop signs around Scotty's house...."OH NO!! HERE HE COMES AGAIN!!! HE AINT GONNA STOP!!!!RUN!!!!!!!"
Yeah - run the stop sign while turning the wheel one-handed and holding a phone up to record video with the other... He may know how to fix things, but a safe driver he aint!
Millions of cabbies and Uber drivers that need to keep operating and maintenance costs as low as possible choose the Prius.
Hybrids are perfect for city taxi driving. On fast highways, not so much.
and now is the best time to buy a used Prius because they're all out of work.
Important! The B on the gear stick is for Engine braking only, it puts charge back into the battery while costing down hill etc. You do not use it in normal driving as it puts drag on the engine causing excess fuel use i.e. less miles per gallon! Defeating the purpose of the hybrid.
I owned a 07 Prius for many years. Never no trouble I drove it to 200k still original battery. Sold it. I now drive a Ford Escape Hybrid, Honda Civic Hybrid, and a Honda Accord Hybrid. They all have been great.
I involuntarily scream “rev up your engines” every time.
Damn he practically sold me that Toyota
He is the best Toyota car salesman ever!
The Hybrid for those who don't want to be driving a wedge.
Id prefer the honda insight in that case or the accord hybrid
Sebastian 2198 theirs a hybrid for everyone... well maybe not for truck guys who need to tow
Or a prius
Sebastian 2198 I like the chevy volt. You don’t see enough of those around.
Sebafer2 I believe the “wedge” is referring to the Prius.
I distinctly recall you saying one shouldn't buy a bew car because one doesn't know what the gliches are. Yet, here you are ....and a hybrid no less.
SCOTTY!!!!!!!
the corolla hybrid gotta be the best car ever its so clever and adaptive its just brilliant
Hey Scotty, the B under D(rive) doesn't stand for "Battery setting" but for B(rake) as in "Engine Braking" and is the equivalent of downshifting into a lower gear
Scotty: Criticizes Ford
Also Scotty: Has a Mustang GT in his opening scene 😂
Ecoboost
Love you Scotty! This is gonna be my next car. I'm just waiting for my current 2010 corolla with 196,000 miles on it to stop working. Who knows how long I will be waiting for that hahaha
Mine has 430.000
