Hi all,

Looking for some help (have searched)

Im wanting to remove my drivers seat to fix a squeaky lower cushion and have been looking at many writeups regarding needing to disconnect the battery so that I don't set off the airbags or make the airbag light illuminate on the dash cluster.

What I'm not sure about though is what is going to need to be reprogrammed/calibrated after I reconnect the battery once the seat is all back in the car and connected again?

I've been reading about the ECU reset procedure and the automatic window relearn procedure, but i've read conflicting information regarding whether or not I will actually need to reset the ECU or the idle or accelorator or the various other relearn procedures..?

If anyone is able to tell me what will need reprogramming that would be greatly appreciated as I REALLY want to get this right and not cause myself more issues.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi, I recently replaced the battery on my V36 & the only issue was having to do the window re-learn procedure.

I also had to re-do my preset radio stations & seat position memory settings.

Remember to leave the window down a tad on the side your working on so as not to catch the pillar on opening without the window drop functioning.

Everything else was fine, good luck with it.

Cheers.

Thanks very much for your help!

Out of interest how long did you have the car with no power to it? Just wondering if the other relearn procedures are perhaps required when the battery has been disconnected for a longer period of time compared to say a few minutes to just change the battery?

On the other hand maybe they're more optional and not actually required just because the battery has been disconnected?

Yes only 15 minutes to change the battery, I have also had the battery disconnected for a full day getting the headlights out.

Same thing, no probs.

Cheers.

V35s and V36s windows automatically slide down a few cm when you open the door and then automatically slide up a few cm once you close the door. This allows for the top edge of the window to lock in under the top sil.

If you disconnect the battery with the door closed then go to open the door, the window will not slide down the required amount so you either wont be able to open the door or if you can the window will probably catch - possibly causing damage.. who knows, but I dont want to find out haha.

Anyway so once you disconnect the battery and reconnect it you need to perform the auto window relearn procedure so that it operates correctly again.

Not hard to do, goes something like.. hold window button down until window winds all the way down and keep holding for 5 secs or so afterwards, then hold button up until winds all the way up and keep holding for 5 secs or so afterwards. Should then be fixed.

The exact instructions are online if you want to check, just google/search sau for v36 window relearn procedure :)

It can happen randomly even when changing a battery.

Had the window thing happen to me when I was switching the battery in my old v36. Only about 5 mins between battery change & my windows wound down automatically to 3/4 down & stayed there.

Had to turn my car on & off a few times before the windows decided to start moving again, then did the reset procedure press all the way down & hold for 5 seconds, wind windows all the way up & hold for 5 seconds then they worked fine.

Sometimes you won't even need to do it at all. Technology huh? :)

I was getting worried.  First time I have had the battery die on my V36, and the window started dropping when the door was opened but not going back up.  Thank goodness for archived old posts here.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
