guys any one of you installed a aftermaket alarm on a passo? any one has a wiring diagram ? Thanks

I installed Steelmate and its working perfectly. You need to have the job done by an experienced person

AOA all Passo fellows..I am new here..I have a problem with my 2006 model Passo..Its too noisy on rough road. there is a grunting sound from suspension like (garr garr). Its from both sides Rt and Left wheels..sometimes from only one side.
I got it checked from Toyota motors Isb. Once they said its from Rack end, and its normal on rough road. Next time they said the shocks are weak..
any body please help me sort out the problem.

I don't know but what I know is that passo is generally very noisy on bumpy roads. Its not just my Passo but all of them.

I have changed tyres to 185/70/13, now it is perfectly fine even on huge bumps.

salam. plz tell if the fuel economy is suffered after switching tyres from the stock 155 width to 185 width....as logically fuel consumption should have increased for sure....moreover, plz tell if such wide tires makes sharp turns a bit uncomfortable??

as I am going to change the stock tyres from 155 to 175 after almost 2-1/2 years....

AoA, I need advice as O/D light in my passo 2005 is flashing intermittently. At first its flashing was seldom but now its almost always and due to it car jumps gears. I googled it and found a link Toyota 4Runner O/D Off Light Flashing. can anyone tell the reason for its flashing (most probably fault with its transmission) ? its solution? and from where to get it fixed in khi?

I got the same prob any solutions?

1) if the OD light blinks intermittently or once a while and it doesnt effect your gear ratio (which you can feel by the acceleration of car) then the problem is just with the electronic circuits which can be solved by a computerized scanner which removes any electronic error , and makes your car circuits factory reset , like in smartphones...
But
2) if , with the blinking of light , your gear ratio changes i.e your car continously becomes 3-speed and 4-speed again and again , there must be some transmission problem which should only be handled with great expertise by the skilled mechanics in karachi.. it should be handled by Toyota Motors personnel
whichever the case might be, plz take your vehicle to a doctor withour delay....
hope for the best!

salam. Couple of days ago, installed new tyres for my passo 2007 after using old stock tyres for almost 2.5 years. Did proper homework before finally buying the tires. The old tyres were of the DOM December 2006 (Falken 155/80R13), means they ridiulously lasted for more than 7 years (or lasted forcefully :P). I was really confused about 2 things

1) tyre width: All major brands of tyres rarely comes in 155 mm width (OES), so the ultimate choice was 175 mm alongwith a side wall of 70% (have a look at attached pics for sidewall and width). The increased width of the tyre was rightly offset by the sidewall of 70% i.e 122.5 mm which is almost same as the sidewall of the old stock tyres:125mm (80% of 155 mm). So, the height of the tyre remained almost same. The only difference the increased width has on car is increased road grip. As far as fuel economy is concerned , its almost unaffected because the 20mm increased width (175-155) just makes the tyre to undergo almost 5 excess rotations per mile.

2) Brand Selection: After mingling in the world of brands and their respective models, selected Dunlop SP-70e despite of the fact a few people here in pakistan are not big fan of dunlop. Reason???? Well i selected Dunlop to find the reason Dunlop is one of the 7 premium brands of passenger tyres. BS (bridgestone B250 were available for same price but did not select them bcz they seemed to be hard). Continental and Michelin tyres are way expensive for a 1000 cc (less than a TON heavy) vehicle with just 6000 to 8000 Km mileage in city only per annum. So, after some research, based my selection criteria on factors like "Date of Manufacture (DOM)", "Temperature" , "Treadwear" and "Traction" .... So, Dunlop SP70e just qualified on merit...DOM: December 2013 (freshest in market), Treadwear:400 (qiute reasonable) , Traction"A" (means v.good grip) and Temperature"B" (means suitable for normal temperatures, "A" temperature means suitable for hot temperatures only , so "B" would be fine for winter too.

Bought them from Saif Traders for 18000 (4500 each) with 2 years warranty and 50,000 kms...which is not bad in this price.

Hope i dont find that "reason" anytime soon

I dont know why people keep on buying these abused and accidented dinkies and then complain of strange issues. There is no doubt that the quality of JDM cars is better but you also have to consider that they are used and abused. You are bound to face issues. You bought a high mileage abused vehicle. The only exception is if you import it yourself.
