The rear brake pads on the Toyota Avalon are vital parts of the braking system. The pads make solid contact with the brake rotors during braking. If the pads are worn or the rotors are damaged, the Avalon's stopping power will be significantly diminished. Toyota recommends that you replace the brake pads every 50,000 miles. the Procedure is as follows:---
Park the Avalon on level ground and turn the engine off.Loosen the lug nuts on the rear wheels with a lug wrench.Place a jack under the frame at the back of the Toyota and lift the rear tires off the ground. Place jack stands beneath the rear axles and lower the vehicle onto the stands.Remove the lug nuts and take the rear wheels/tires off.Remove the two caliper pins on each caliper (one per side) with a 13 mm wrench.Lift the caliper from the caliper bridge and brake pads and suspend it above the brake hub with a wire coat hanger.Remove the worn brake pads from the slots in the caliper bridge.Apply anti-squeal brake compound to the backs of the new brake pads and slide them into the slots on the caliper bridge.Open the brake fluid bleed valve with a 10 mm wrench. The valve is located between two caliper pin slots. Place a drip pan beneath the caliper to catch the brake fluid.Place a C-clamp or channel-lock pliers over the rear caliper piston. Squeeze the piston until it recesses within the side of the caliper. Remove the clamp or pliers once the piston is opened.Close the bleed valve with the 10 mm wrench.Place the caliper over the new pads in the caliper bridge slots. Screw in the caliper pins with the 13 mm wrench.Replace the rear wheel onto the wheel bolts and screw on the lug nuts.Lift the back of the Avalon with the jack and remove the jack stands. Lower the back end of the Toyota until the rear tires are on the ground.Tighten the lug nuts with the lug wrench.Open the Toyota's hood and remove the master cylinder cap. The cap is located at the back of the engine compartment, to the right of the Avalon's engine.Place a funnel into the reservoir and fill the container with brake fluid.

You donot want to be ripping down and pulling out wiring in the starter harness to repair what is obvious, that is a beautiful car not a wrecked vehicle, why would you not have it towed to get it repaired properly? Beside if there is any warrantee on this repair you will have definately void it by attempting to jump the starter system out.

It is common to do just that.. I generally break the top off, drill a 1/4" hole in the middle and remove it with an easy out tol

Turn the key ON, but don't start it, and make sure the odometer is showing the actual mileage, not trip A or B. Turn the key back to the OFF position, then press and hold the trip/reset button. Continue to hold it down and turn the key to the on position. Continue holding the trip/reset button while the mileage flashes rows of zeros until the actual mileage appears again. Release the button, because you are finished.

Good luck (remember comment and rated this).

Hello, and welcome to FixYa. Please let us assist you.

To remove the rear seat back, you first have to remove the rear seat bottom cushion. There are two clips on the front edge of the cushion, and they need to be disengaged; pull up with some force on the front edge of the cushion, where it meets the floor. Once the clips are disengaged, you can take the bottom cushion out of the car. Next, you will see the bolts that holds the rear seat backs onto the rear metal pane; all you now need to do is remove the bolts, and slide the seat backs up and out.

Thanks for choosing FixYa for advice today.

You can't at least not legally.

The TRIP odometer however may be accessed through it's own set of instructions if it has that feature saved in it's memory.

Check your owner's manual it should be in there.

a lot of cars you have to drive about 50 miles for it to see the air pressure problems as fixed, also check the air pressure on your spare tire, sounds silly but on our rav 4 the spare is also connected somehow to the pressure check. it is stated in our owners manual as well. hope this helps

the pcm will have to be reset in older cars you can disconnect the battery cables, in newer cars you have to drive 50 to a 100 miles before it will read the error as corrected if it was the cap, if it is stubborn youll have to have it reset with a hand held, if it is in fact the fuel cap

Ya its normal .
