Toyota EPC FAQ

You need both parts 1 & 2. Read the FAQ file its important to follow its instructions.


This is the main screen if you know your vin # you can search for parts specific to your car. If you dont have a vin # then under Model name/Catalog Code click the search button and you can select a vehicle. Once a vehicle has been found you can click the save button so the next time you can just open the file you have saved. Once you have found a vehicle click the F10:Exec button.


This is the second screen you will see. It will list a few details about the vehicle you have selected. The highlighted FIG GROUP will get you to any part your car has. Click 1 of the 4 boxes and click the F10:Exec button. You can check multiple boxes.


In this case I selected the Tool/Engine/Fuel Group from the previous screen.


If you don't see the part your looking for on the first screen click F8:Next and it may bring up a second screen.


If you don't see the part your looking for on the second screen click F8:Next and it may bring up a third screen. Continue this process until you find your part or run out of screens.


This is the screen you see when you choose Power Train/Chassis Group


This is the screen you see when you choose Body Group


This is the screen you see when you choose Electrical Group. I am going to search for a windshield wiper part so I can either click the "10" box in the picture of the car or I can click the big box under the car picture or I can click the line on the right that says "85-01 WINDSHIELD WIPER" once selected I click F10:Exec


This will display a diagram of my windshield wiper assembly.


I can zoom the picture by putting the mouse over the picture and right clicking. When I find the part I want (85160) I can left click on the number to select it and then press F10:Exec. You can select multiple parts. To de select a part click on its number a second time. To unzoom the pic press F3:Back.


You finally have a Toyota part number you can use.



One of the Toyota dealerships I deal with quoted me over $600 for the above LINK ASSY, WINDSHIELD WIPER.

ToyotaPartsCheap will sell it to me for

Item Number 8516020340 LINK ASSY, WIPER
MSRP $221.49
Core Price $0.00
Price $177.19

Thats more than a $400 savings. Pretty good incentive to learn how to use the EPC

It can be a bugger to install but read the FAQ and if that don't help then I'll try and answer any questions.

 

Well you can get it a bit cheaper at $617.53 plus shipping

 

Don't know. You'll have to be a bit more specific and tell me what you were doing in the EPC when it happened.

 

Your screen should look like this.

Make sure European area version is check marked.

F: is the hard drive that I installed the EPC on so you will have to change that.

 

Well to check to make sure your disks are labeled properly go to my computer and see if they are labeled identically to mine. Did you use a capital "E" I don't know for sure but it may make a difference.

 

If you explore the cd it should look like this for "19950622E1"

 

Yeah no problem. I'll burn a set and send them to you.
