    Don't put the cart before the horse.... so to speak.

    I remember buying a whole door lock actuator assy. for my Civic FD from eBay for about US$45 (about P2k in 2014 forex), shipped. Getting it fixed by Honda would've set me back 7-8k for the part alone, plus labor.
    Agree with you to get it diagnosed already.

    For vital parts, have to agree with travajante, I would prefer to go OEM.

    Grabe, parang ginto ata yan. Sus sayang ang mura na kaya sana niyan kung sa BMW lang ilalagay eh.
    But, but, but I thought Toyota parts and expertise are cheap and readily available? =p

    A mixed bag of truths, perceptions & myths.😵*💫
    For fault huntdowns, code extraction 1st. Sometimes parts aren't even needed.

    I'll have it diagnosed today.

    I asked Toyota how much to replace the sensor and it's P4850 for labor. So to replace one sensor it will cost P17.5K.

    I hope oj88 is right na it's just chewed up wiring

    Jokes aside, parts are indeed abundant if you know where to look, and especially if you're a DIY-er..

    It's a universal truth that anything casa is bound to be expensive.... it's just the degrees of "expensiveness" that's often the difference between car brands.

    Sayang lang this does not apply to us all. Si op pa lang, nahihirapan na.

    Well, actually marami sa mga hindi mahilig o sanay magkalkal. Kaya goods pag pinaayos sa trusted na mechanic, service center o casa.

    To complete the thought I started earlier, dahil nga yung T car brand is ubiquitous, halos kahit hanggang probinsya may marunong gumawa (for the non-DIY'ers).

    So dahil maraming pyesa + maraming marunong gumawa, relatively speaking, yan ang main reason patok sa maraming tao yung brand.

    But as cars are becoming more computer-controlled and transitioning to EVs and/or hybrid systems, bumabalik na ulit sa casa yung expertise. But for the classic ICE cars, you can still find a suitable mechanic at every corner, in a manner of speaking. Not implying that all of them are good mechanics, though.... but in a pinch, meron kang matatakbuhan.
