mga paps, share ko lang na experience ko sa unit ko last sunday. i own a 2011 innova G D4D. nagsimba kasi kami, so i parked. tagal lang naka idle engine ko ng hindi pa ako nakaka park kasi ang tagal lumabas ng mga sasakyan nung unang mass kasi palm sumday diba, masikip. kaya medyo matagal akong nag antay. nung naka park na ako in-off ko na engine tapos bumaba na ko sa sasakyan. nung i llock ko na, i pressed the lock button in the remote of the key, hindi nag lock. pinindot ko din yung unlock button, di din nag function kasi hindi umilaw. nung pinindot ko ulit yung lock, i pressed the lock button 2 seconds then it locked same thing with the unlock button. di sya ng lock ng isang pindutan lang, i hhold pa yung button. tapos i started ulit the engine, nilipat ko parada ko. tapos nung i llock ko na doors ulit, pinindot ko lock sa remote ng key, ok na ulit. isang pindutan lang nag lock at unlock na sya, i tried lock and unlock 3x, ok naman na siya ulit.

may naka experience na ba sa inyo ng ganun mga paps? anu kaya naging problema sa key at hindi nag function agad to lock and unlock? imposible namang battery kasi 5 months pa lang unit ko eh.

thanks for the feed back.

Just the usual oil change, tune up and inspection he said. Since I was in a hurry I did not go over the details of the billing.

When I finally had the chance to read the details of the billing at home I noticed there was an entry in the bottom which reads " Recommendations: FRT RH Shock Absorber leak".

Anything to worry about this finding? Tried calling the SA but he is unavailable.

Covered ba ng warranty ang shock absorbers?

Has anybody encountered this same problem with their unit?

common issue na ng Innova yang leaking shock absorbers. should be covered ng warranty.

I experienced it several times already. It may be caused by magnetic fields in the area that distorts the remote control lock mechanism. Sa akin minsan na-i-lock ko using the remote control then pag unlock ayaw gumana kaya sinusian ko ayun tumunog ang alarm at hindi ko mapatay ang alarm using the remote control. Inantay ko na lang matapos ang sound then ni-lock ko uli at unlock ng remote at gumana na uli.

baka nga ganun sir. kasi nakalagay sa owners manual pag may malapit daw na radio transmitter, pwede din ma interfere yung sa sensor ng key. ayun ata yun. hehe. yung nangyari sayo sir nangyari sa tropa ko, pinindot nya yung alarm kasi ayaw mag lock at unlock eh, tin-ry nya pindutin yung alarm, nag alarm naman innova nea kasi akala nya ayaw gumana ng key. pag pindot nya ng alarm, gumana at hindi din nya mapatay, inantay na lang din nya ma wala yung sounds.

pero ngayon ok na yung key mo sir? G din ba sayo? di naman kasi siguro battery problem ng key natin diba? gaano po kaya katagal life span ng batery ng keyless entry remote sir?

medyo kinabahan din kasi ako nung ayaw gumana key ko, hinold ko pa lock button 2 seconds para mag lock eh, hehe. thanks sir.

Ang haba na pala nitong thread (3 parts na)
My Innova is now reaching it's 6th year and I'm thinking of replacing my old original front windshield wipers which are about to reach it's most useful function. Im getting old so does my eyesight...he he he. Nobody's wants to drive with streaking windshield and blurry vision, right? so, what brand do you recommend for the wiper replacements? your inputs are highly appreciated. thanks. Happy/safe driving guys...cheers.

we usually call it as frequency interference... kaya minsan yun remote natin ndi gumagana. its a normal thing kaya dont worry.

Yung innova namin sir dapat sobrang lapit saka gumagana ang remote. Nahihiya ako minsan na dapat tabi ko pa ang innova saka ma control minsan nga dapat sa side pa ako ng innova saka ko ma remote pag nasa likod ako dapat itaas ko pa ang key. Bago naman po ang battery. Recommend ng Casa papalitan ng bagong key worth 10k+

. They didn't even check the sensor di ko rin alam saan located.

I dont think so sir, activate lang pretensioners pag me collision and dun lang mag emit ng burning smell. ABS naman pulsing action on your pedal on hard braking kung umamoy man brake pads sa pag stop mo yun. dun sa nag post ng question ano ba amoy? kung parang burnt rubber your belts might be too tight kaya me ganun amoy. saka naka recirculate ba vents mo o open? kung parang parang kuryente might be brake pads maaring needs cleaning or adjusting.

maari nga RF interferrence esp kung me cell site malapit dun. kung mag persist ang problem pa adjust mo alarm module and antenna para mas me clear path ang signal bet remote and sensor. ilipat lang mas mataas na position, idealy near sa windsheild. madals kasi tamad mag install so mabaa masyado kabit.
