Transmission codes and slipping.

Toyota Corolla 2017 sedan 190000 miles
Hello all
Hope to find help with my Toyota. It is a 2017 Corolla. Bought brand new. I put 190K miles, most highway miles. Always kept with oil and filter change, but never messed with the transmission. So, couple weeks ago I was hearing some noise like wind thru the window, tho it was low I didnt pay much attention. So, when I was like couple miles from work it started slipping and jerking when accelerating. Parked the car at work, and towed it later with my truck. Did a drain and refill for the trans fluid with orgininal toyota fluid, as recommended. Took it to autozone for codes and it is throwing P084, and P2829. Can anybody point me in the right direction, or maybe if anybody had the same problem? TIA!

Loud Banging and Grinding Noise When Shifting to Drive or Reverse SolvedSolved

Toyota Corolla 2022 Corolla SE 2022 2.0L CVT 44589 miles
Hi, I’m having a serious issue with my car. Every time I shift into drive or reverse, there’s a loud banging and grinding noise, like a heavy clunk. It feels rough when shifting.
I’m concerned it could be internal transmission damage, a broken mount, a CV axle issue, or gear slipping. I’d like to have it diagnosed as soon as possible.

There are a few things that could be causing the issue with your Toyota Corolla not shifting gears properly. Some potential causes could include:

A faulty shift solenoid: Shift solenoids control the flow of transmission fluid, which is necessary for proper gear shifting. If the solenoid is faulty or stuck, it could cause shifting issues.
A damaged or worn clutch: If the clutch is worn or damaged, it may not be able to engage and disengage properly, which can cause shifting issues.
A transmission control module (TCM) issue: The TCM is the computer that controls the transmission and gear shifting. If it is malfunctioning, it could cause shifting issues.
Transmission fluid level or quality: If the transmission fluid is low or contaminated, it can cause shifting issues.
It's worth noting that these are just a few potential causes, and there could be other issues at play as well.

Hey. I have a 2017 Toyota Corolla. Lately, it's been burning a lot of fuel along with these lights
I changed the spark plugs, and I do the Service regularly. I took it to a mechanic, and he plugged this OBD thing. It says there are no issues at all. Yet still, the problem is there. Can someone help me diagnose the problem? Thanks in advance!

2015 Toyota Corolla cranks but won't start, B2799 code

Toyota Corolla 2015 LE, 2ZR-FE engine  65000 miles
No previous related issues and it has always been able to start until very recently. I have 2 keys and neither had any issues before. Don't see what could have caused the problem. Tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it after 15-30 minutes but it doesn't change anything. Neither does trying to reset the ECU or immobilizer by connecting the 4th and 13th pins on the OBD-II connector, turning on the ignition, and waiting 30-45 minutes. The security light turns off when I insert the key (happens for both keys I have), presumably indicating that the immobilizer does recognize the key,… Read complete

Have you checked the Brake Light Switch? It is a 'spark plug' configuration under the steering column and activates/deactivates by brake pedal. Has a plunger on the end that goes in & out with pressing/depressing brake pedal.

No Spark But Still Turning Over Just Not Firing up

Toyota Corolla 1993 AE93 Corolla CSI  200000 miles
Hey I have a AE93 corolla I've recently done a service to it that includes, (oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, dropping the oil flushing the old oil out and refilling it with new oil, Cleaning the throttle body with Carby clean) once I did all that I went for a night drive and as i was coming back home the car made a small thud noise then there was no response to the accelerator as I lost speed, I got it back home and went to diagnose the problem but no luck the car still is turning over just no spark I've pulled the rocket cover to see if it just stripped a gear but the distributor is strait connected to the cam shaft were unsure on what it could be were expecting it to be the coil in the distributor unless you guys know anything else it could be, cheers

Stumped on this issue

Toyota Corolla 2009 1.8  1800000 miles
Car run fantastic. Out of no where, all dash warning lights are on. ABS, Brake, power steering, airbag, Speedometer and OBD port won’t work.
I have changed every fuse. I have changed relays,
I have unplugged the ABS module and tested the OBD port still no communication. The port actually has power but no communication.

I changed the steering angle sensor and clock spring. I cannot calibrate them because the OBD port will not communicate in my tablet cannot calibrate it. I’m freaking stuck. What the hell do I do? How do I get my OBD port to work?
