Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / December 2008Where can I buy this?
SST 09843-18020. > SST 09843-18020. More of a description or a link to a picture would be helpful. Considering it's a Toyota Special Service Tool, Toyota would be a good place to start. If it is a popular tool used often, aftermarket tool companies like Lisle or Dorman may make one. If not Toyota is the only place to go, but a description and link to a pic may yield an adequate substitute. I'm guessing from your recent posts it's an O-Sensor wrench...? =?iso-2022-jp?q?Hachiroku_=1B$B%O%A%m%=2F=1B=28B?= <Trueno@e86.GTS> wrote : >> SST 09843-18020. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > I'm guessing from your recent posts it's an O-Sensor wrench...? It's the jumper thingie for setting the timing. > SST 09843-18020. Oh. Ok. here's a good picture of this tool: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f15/Elvota/Misc/images.jpg Here's another if that didn't work: http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/t/ti/tijmen/468491_paperclip.jpg http://www.nloc.net/photopost/data/680/25409-200-17714.jpg This is pretty much *exactly* what I use.

The spade lugs were good for mid-'80's cars. Tin the ends of a piece of wire for anything with a 'Diagnostics' connector under the hood, since the contacts are smaller. > SST 09843-18020. As Hachiroku suggested, a paper clip will do the trick. I made up a jumper wire like the one Hachiroku posted except I terminated the wire with pin connectors instead of small spade connectors. The jumper wire has migrated to the measuring/testing drawer in my tool box and rather than rummage through the drawer, I just unbend a paper clip.

( me ) The factory repair manual lists the special service tool (SST) to use when setting base ignition timing, pulling trouble codes, etc. but people in the business use paper clips because they're cheaper and work just as well.

LOL And of course cost MUCH less. I'm down with paper clips. :) >> "Ray O" <rokigawa@NOSPAMtristarassociates.com> wrote : >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > the business use paper clips because they're cheaper and work just as > well. Didn't you once tell a story about a guy who got mad when he saw you use such a simple thing to diagnose his car problems? Up until I sold my 95' Geo, that's what I used. I have no clue what to do with my new 99' Corolla. Thankfully I haven't had to figure it out yet. >>> "Ray O" <rokigawa@NOSPAMtristarassociates.com> wrote : >>> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > Geo, that's what I used.

I generally tried not to let customers see the really simple repairs, especially after a dealer made repeated unsuccessful repair attempts. Your '99 Corolla will require an OBD II code scanner to read and clear trouble codes. You can buy them for as little as $100 but the cheap ones only read SAE standard codes and clear check engine lights. I have a cheap one and wish I bought one that is CAN compliant, reads manufacturer-specific codes, displays actual sensor voltages, lists pending codes, and gives readiness monitor status. Or, you can take the car to someplace like Autozone that lends you a code reader that you can use in their parking lot.

Thanks, hopefully I don't have to get any codes read for quite some time though. Does the computer store a history of past codes even after the problem has been fixed? Is so, it might be nice to check my car for past codes to try to establish a better history on it. >>>>> "Ray O" <rokigawa@NOSPAMtristarassociates.com> wrote : >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > problem has been fixed?

Even though Toyota went OBD-II early, it wasn't admissible for inspection testing. But I could jumper the connector under the hood and flash the MIL... >>>>> "Ray O" <rokigawa@NOSPAMtristarassociates.com> wrote : >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > problem has been fixed?

The computer does store some codes if the check engine light comes on and then goes off by itself, but the codes can be erased with and OBD II scanner, and once erased there is no history.

Cause you must have had a look at the service manual and it recommended the 'tool'! Actually, I lie just a bit. The 'tool' I posted the picture of worked on my '83, my '85 Celica, and my '85 Corolla. The newer cars like the '95 Tercel I just took a wire and tinned the ends with a soldering iron, since the contacts are smaller. =?iso-2022-jp?q?Hachiroku_=1B$B%O%A%m%=2F=1B=28B?= <Trueno@e86.GTS> wrote : >> "Ray O" <rokigawa@NOSPAMtristarassociates.com> wrote : >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > LOL!

No, it was Autozone. http://www.autozone.com/shopping/repairGuide.htm?pageId=0900c1528006ee02 > Actually, I lie just a bit.
