"Toyota AFR / [--] Sensor Problems This video is a little different that the normal ones I do. In this one I have a '02 Rav4 brought in that has already had a lot of fingers in it and the primary problem is the fact that it won't run a drive cycle. I do a live diagnostic test to see what is wrong. I test an AFR Sensor that I suspected was bad during an earlier test drive. Watch the video for the rest of the details Thanks for watching and subscribing Buy your AFR From here. There are many different ones so fill out the form and they will get back to you trust me.
