Thank you so much for the super thanks. Im sure if you call Toyota customer support and explain your situation, you can get reimbursed for the part and possibly get parts and labor covered.
I just paid the dealer $600 to fix mine. It's so funny only thing I showed him was the Engine Maintenance required message and he said oh yes you need to have the bypass changed like without even putting my Rav4 on the scanner. He said it's a common problem word out of his mouth. We all need to file a complaint!
@@TheYotaChannelYes, I agree with you. Toyota dealership is very greedy right now. I have the same problem on it. They tried to charge me $200 only for the diagnosis when I sent my car to there.
For sure. Trusted Toyota reliability, however, this problem is very common and the manufacturer hasn't recalled it. Disappointed. Won't buy another Toyota.
@@henrytnh1 yes I took it to the dealership and they wanted to charge me 980$. I was gonna get it fixed by them, but fortunately for me they didn't have the part. I knew of someone else that could fix the 125$ part for much less

Great video, had searched several videos to determine what the problem was. Your video identified the issue. Took it to Toyota dealership for repair, $99.00 for diagnostic to verify the issue. They wanted $763.00 to make the repair. I would still owe them $348.55 after what my extended warranty covered. I paid their diagnostic fee and took it to another repair shop. It will cost me $93.98 + another $50.00 diagnostic fee after the warranty pays their part. Thanks for the diagnosting describing the problem.
I got a 2020 rav4, same error popped up. Local dealer says its a $1200 fix. I just bought the part for $200. Gonna switch it out today. Thank you for the video man! Lifesaver.
@@TheYotaChannel well I finally finished the job so far so good. The light is gone. It took me longer then expected, the hose clamps were in a tough spot and im a chunky dude.

I kept opening up your video back and forth during the repair to make sure im doing it right. Thank you for saving me $1000 at the dealership
Hi there ! I have the same problem , I’m from Saudi Arabia , just bought the part from Toyota but I won’t let the dealer do it . There are overpriced ! Thank you very much.
@shaunnal2560 The first coolant bypass valve is the value with gray colored clip and is likely the issue causing engine maint required on dash. The right valve (w teal clip) is just a right angled hose connector, not a bypass valve. The second coolant bypass valve is underneath the battery.
Thank you. You saved my mother in law 1k on her 2020rav with only 18kmi. Even though the car had no codes just the message and was loosing coolant. I went ahead and changed the hose.(out of stock at a lot of dealers). Code was gone, fixed! Only thing different I did was remove the battery and tray after draining the radiator to work from above. Thanks again. Keep making content. Subscribed
Brother thank you so much!!! Here in Toyota Miami try to charge me $1400 for this alert in my screen! $200 part / $1200 labor that’s crazy! You save my money 🙏🏻
Sheesh, that's crazy. I just did a video talking about how to get an accurate quote when visiting the dealer. In the last video i posted, check it out.
Great video! I never do my own maintenance but I tried taking it to the dealership and they just said it was the oil change light 🤦♂️. Since they didn't want my money I was able to do it myself with this detailed video.
I understand the bleeding process is to run the engine over 1200 rpm for a period of time and move the heater controls in a certain position. The car care nut has a video on this. Any other procedure will not bleed the system properly and cause other problems.
Same thing just happened to my 2020 Rav4 at 66K miles. Dealer wanted $800+ but I lucked out because the warranty covered it. This should definitely be a recall.
This is why you always go to TH-cam and/or your mechanic friends! Toyota wanted to charge me $100 just to get the code. I said no thanks, took it to my buddies at the dealership I use to work at and had him scan it. Told me the part is anywhere from $60-80 and that he would be able to take care of it for me (I'll probably slide him a $50 or buy him some food, whichever he prefers lol), whereas who knows how much Toyota would charge me to do it.
What an awesome video. My question… is there a way to clear the code ourselves - or for a regular mechanic to clear the “engine maintenance required” code on the dashboard?? Can only a dealer clear this!?? Please help!! TIA!!! 😊
Good video- I like how you present the detail with some good tips like how to ensure you get all the air out when refilling coolant. Hardest part of the job seems to be the wait for the part- dealer says ma6 be two months!
Excellent video, I wanted to ask a question for a 2020 Corolla with 4 cylinder. By any change will this coolant bypass valve Cause the vehicle not start but crank. I have the maintenance required light also on but I also been getting these other code U0100/U0101/U010087 and also on the indicator with driver malfunction unit, brake override malfunction, brake low power. With the ecm/tcmbeing close to that valve or possibly share a wire or pin, would this by any chance cause the vehicle to crank but not start? New battery and the stop fuse check and was good but still replaced.
Hey, thank you for the super thanks. The bypass valve failure WILL NOT cause the engine to crank and not start. The U0100 is a lost communication code with the ECM(engine control moddule) that can cause the symptoms you are describing.
Just finished replacing bypass hose... the most difficult part for me was dropping tool inside the engine bay and getting access to the 2 ten mm screw holding the bracket on LOL
Nice man! Yea, the 2 10mm bolts can be a little tricky because there's not much room, and you need steady hands. To be able to do this job at home with a jack and jack stands is impressive.
This seems like it should be a recall that should be fixed for no charge, I probably have the same problem since it just started a week ago and most likely the culprit, I have a third party warranty so let’s see what they actually cover or maybe I will complain to Toyota corporate
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Just one question if you don't mind...Why can't you just replace the actuator instead of replacing the entire hose assembly? Doesn't the actuator just pry off?
I wouldn't recommend prying it off. On the Rav 4, the new valve comes with the hose attached already. The Camry and Corolla the valve comes separate from the hose. Prying the hose off the Rav4 and reinstalling the old hose, you run the risk of the hose coming off when the vehicle is hot and the cooling system under pressure.
@@TheYotaChannel this answered my exact question. I saw another video of the guy just replacing the actuator but your explanation makes a lot of sense. I will do the actuator with the assembly. Thanks for the added context.
I have a 2023 Rav Prime. I am assuming this is the same part in my car as well? My daughter's is going to be repaired by my husband, and there is so much more room in her Rav 4 XLE 2020 model....
My connector is now a bit loose and unable to click to bypass the valve. I possibly broke the clip when removing first time. What is my option to secure the connector to bypass valve now. Your video at 0:51. I possibly dropped the attachment. Let me know. Thanks.
Hey, it's easier to get the part from the dealer. Just go to the parts department and give them your VIN, and they will give you the correct part number, and you can proceed to do it yourself.
@@TheYotaChannel perfect.. thank you so much... i just get the part from amazon for $45 ... im pretty sure at the dealership will be at least $400 . Keep up with the nice work and nice videos🙏🙏👌
Your ac may not work until fixed though having problems with mines at 62,000 miles. Thought it was time for oil change and dealership didn’t recognize it either
Just had my 2019 RAV4 fixed at the dealer for $450 . Just for checking the code is 80 bucks. I think even if we do this on our own the code may need to removed by dealer not sure on it .
Hey, it's better to get the part from the dealer if you are going to do it yourself . Just bring your VIN number, and they will be able to match your vehicle with the correct part number.
@@TheYotaChannel Thanks, I haven't replaced the part yet but planning to do it with a local mechanic for cheaper price. I am still not sure if the message "Engine maintenance required" is due to coolant valve. so I took it to Autozone and the small scanner didn't show any error code. is there a specific tool to find out if it actually due to coolant valve? or do I need to take to dealer to diagnosis that for me?
Just got same message today. Mine is 2019 Rav4 with 135,000kms. Is it recommended to not drive the car till we replace this? Could this cause engine overheating? Thanks for helping
@@TheYotaChannel Just managed to replace the hose and valve assembly today. Your instructions were super clear. Excellent video. I just removed the battery as well in order for my chubby hands to work much easier :)
After replacement, I've seen the code clear on its own, and the message will go away as well. Or you can disconnect the battery after replacement, and that should clear the code.
Hey, you can go to your local Toyota dealer and give the parts department your VIN, and they will be able to give you the correct part number, and you can proceed to do it yourself .
@@TheYotaChannelso does it affect the overheating of the engine or the transmission if I don’t change the valve? I live in a very hot country I noticed the rpm takes longer to go down to 1000 than other cars
@@dennislis4207 ok thanks I paid 88$ from Toyota it was on sale replaced it everything seems good no more engine required maintenance message only needed one 4qt bottle of coolant
I know your intention was to avert people from spending hundreds at the dealership just because Toyota used junky part for this generation Rav4 but MAN, this is not what a newb like myself can do. My 2020 Rav4, with 42k miles, had the "Engine Maintenance Required" warning popped up this morning right after I started the engine, with engine check light OFF just like demo car in this video. I searched online and called the dealership, they wanted $780. But when I started the car this afternoon, the warning message was gone. Soon after I got home, I used an OBDII scanner and turned out there was ZERO code. I have no clue what's going on with my car now. Will have to see if the message pops up again tomorrow morning.☹
@@TheYotaChannel I had my AC on for over 20mins today and the warning message came back on. 😢 It seems like turning on the AC triggers this sucker cuz then I restarted the car the warning didn’t come back for another 30 mins drive to home. Hopefully the ongoing class action lawsuit filed on the coolant bypass valve gets settled in plaintiffs favor soon and I can get my money back.
My 2019 Toyota Rav4, maintenance required, diagnostic was done, error discovered coolant bypass valve. Toyota dealer Sunnyvale sent me estimate to replace it. $994, tax 19.25, diagnostic charges $260 very unfortunate
Just had my water pump changed after my first ENGINE MAINTENANCE req’d LIGHT came on. 4 months later & it comes back on - I assume this the reason being that most rav owners are experiencing the same. Another inconvenience 🙁
Rav4 2019 Le AWD I had this message starting to show up when I turn the A/C on last few weeks With a ticking sound coming from the engine bay that goes away after I turn off the A/C No check engine light not a single sign on the dashboard Only this annoying warning
No, you will be fine. You can fix it after the road trip. To simply put, the bypass valve you see in the video is to help the engine warm up quicker, it WILL NOT cause it to overheat.
hello, I had the same issue on my toyota camry 2020. problem diagnose by dealer but dealar was expensive they quote around 1000 usd.i bought the part from the dealer and replace it outside but the light is not go away even after replacing. Any suggestion what to do now.the car runs fine no issue.I did disconnect the bettery even delete the code with the code reader but its not go away.
June of 2024...A class action lawsuit has been filed in California. Suggest retaining all parts receipts and/or dealership/auto garage repair bills. C'mon Toyota. Get this settlement done and support your loyal customers.
If you call Toyota customer support and tickle their ears a little and let them know how much you and your family love Toyota, and its a shame this is happening to your new Rav 4. You have a great chance of getting it covered at your local Toyota dealer.
O.K. I went to another video and here is the explanation. I had used a mirror to locate the tab towards the windshield side of the connector about halfway down and in the middle. I had to press only in the middle of the connector, not the whole back side and was able to pull up. You will see in the mirror why you only push in the middle. Hopefully, this guy will learn to do a better job in the future
hahahahaha ... I can't either. But from what I'm hearing if you have time to sit for a minute to allow your car time to warm up it doesn't matter if you replace the valve or not. The valve won't cause your vehicle to overheat from what the author of this video says soooo.
I did it myself. I bought the valve from Amazon for 33 bucks. The only hardest job was the bottom hose. It took me a while to take it off. Another parts were easy . Ty for the video. I save big bucks 😍
This seems like it should be a recall that should be fixed for no charge, I probably have the same problem since it just started a week ago and most likely the culprit, I have a third party warranty so let’s see what they actually cover or maybe I will complain to Toyota corporate

Hey, it's better to get the part from the dealer if you are going to do it yourself . Just bring your VIN number, and they will be able to match your vehicle with the correct part number.
@@TheYotaChannel thanks!
do you need to reset the code after part is replaced or message clear by itself?
In some cases, it does clear by itself. If it doesn't, you can disconnect and reconnect battery
@@TheYotaChannel Thanks, I haven't replaced the part yet but planning to do it with a local mechanic for cheaper price. I am still not sure if the message "Engine maintenance required" is due to coolant valve. so I took it to Autozone and the small scanner didn't show any error code. is there a specific tool to find out if it actually due to coolant valve? or do I need to take to dealer to diagnosis that for me?
if you use a HOSE CLAMP you won't lose much coolant. no reason to make a mess like that.
Just got same message today. Mine is 2019 Rav4 with 135,000kms. Is it recommended to not drive the car till we replace this? Could this cause engine overheating? Thanks for helping
Hello, no, it will not cause it to overheat. I've seen customers wait a few weeks or so before deciding to replace.
@TheYotaChannel thanks dear. I was bit panicked. Did you buy this hose from Toyota
@atifkm09 yes i recommend getting it from Toyota so they can order the part according to your VIN
@@TheYotaChannel Just managed to replace the hose and valve assembly today. Your instructions were super clear. Excellent video. I just removed the battery as well in order for my chubby hands to work much easier :)
Damn Toyota can’t even trust them anymore.. 30k miles and it’s giving me the same notification
How do you get rid of code after replacement?
After replacement, I've seen the code clear on its own, and the message will go away as well. Or you can disconnect the battery after replacement, and that should clear the code.
Same thing happened to me at 37.4k miles similar to yours lol
That's right around the mileage you can expect to see this concern.
Mine is only 15000 miles. 2020 rav4 xle
Were can i buy the parts?
What is the part number for the whole kit?
Hey, you can go to your local Toyota dealer and give the parts department your VIN, and they will be able to give you the correct part number, and you can proceed to do it yourself .
How urgently does this need to be fixed? Can it wait until winter is closer?
It's not urgent, it can wait. The purpose of the valve is to help the engine get to operating temp as quickly as possible.
@@TheYotaChannelso does it affect the overheating of the engine or the transmission if I don’t change the valve? I live in a very hot country I noticed the rpm takes longer to go down to 1000 than other cars
Do you know the replace part number? Great video btw!!
Toyota part number #16260-F0010 (complete with pressed on hoses) cost me $125 total from Toyota dealer. I am going to replace today.
@@dennislis4207 ok thanks I paid 88$ from Toyota it was on sale replaced it everything seems good no more engine required maintenance message only needed one 4qt bottle of coolant
Where did you get the part from?
Dealer or online?
I know your intention was to avert people from spending hundreds at the dealership just because Toyota used junky part for this generation Rav4 but MAN, this is not what a newb like myself can do. My 2020 Rav4, with 42k miles, had the "Engine Maintenance Required" warning popped up this morning right after I started the engine, with engine check light OFF just like demo car in this video. I searched online and called the dealership, they wanted $780. But when I started the car this afternoon, the warning message was gone. Soon after I got home, I used an OBDII scanner and turned out there was ZERO code. I have no clue what's going on with my car now. Will have to see if the message pops up again tomorrow morning.☹
It sounds like a symptom of a bad bypass valve. Sometimes, it will act up intermittently.
@@TheYotaChannel I had my AC on for over 20mins today and the warning message came back on. 😢 It seems like turning on the AC triggers this sucker cuz then I restarted the car the warning didn’t come back for another 30 mins drive to home. Hopefully the ongoing class action lawsuit filed on the coolant bypass valve gets settled in plaintiffs favor soon and I can get my money back.
QUESTION - WHY CAN'T YOU PULL THE PLASTIC VALVE OFF OF THE HOSES AND JUST REPLACE IT?
My rav4 not even 40k mile already had this problem
Thanks!
Some just replace the sensor, why do they make you replace the hoses? Can you just get the sensor?
On the Corolla's, you can get the bypass valve without the hose. On the Rav 4, you can only get the bypass with the hose
I just got bypass sensor delivery from Amazon for my RAV4 , do I still need the hoses as well.?
My 2019 Toyota Rav4, maintenance required, diagnostic was done, error discovered coolant bypass valve. Toyota dealer Sunnyvale sent me estimate to replace it. $994, tax 19.25, diagnostic charges $260 very unfortunate
Wow! 994 is high for this repair.
2020 rav xle. 15000miles only. Regularly oil changed with synthetic.
Glendale toyota dealer charge me $352 for just check up.
How did you take that sensor off I’m having so much trouble
I did you take it out??
Just had my water pump changed after my first ENGINE MAINTENANCE req’d LIGHT came on.
4 months later & it comes back on - I assume this the reason being that most rav owners are experiencing the same.
Another inconvenience 🙁
That should not fail like that, appears to be a issue for these years.
I agree. It's a common problem. Hopefully, Toyota will issue an updated part that will no longer exhibit the problem.
Rav4 2019 Le AWD
I had this message starting to show up when I turn the A/C on last few weeks
With a ticking sound coming from the engine bay that goes away after I turn off the A/C
No check engine light not a single sign on the dashboard
Only this annoying warning
Yea, it sounds like the bypass valve you see in this video is going bad.
My 2020 Rav 4 has this problem and they quoted me 1500 bucks to fix it. Come on Toyota!! I'm gonna give it the old college try to change it myself!
1500 is too much.
What part is being replaced here I have the same problem
Hey, it's called the engine coolant bypass valve
Oh brother, i got the message right now while im in the middle of my 4000km road trip, should i be concerned car might overheat and stop?
No, you will be fine. You can fix it after the road trip. To simply put, the bypass valve you see in the video is to help the engine warm up quicker, it WILL NOT cause it to overheat.
@Jrdagreat perfect..that's good news. What a relief. Thanks man really appreciate it. 😊
hello, I had the same issue on my toyota camry 2020. problem diagnose by dealer but dealar was expensive they quote around 1000
usd.i bought the part from the dealer and replace it outside but the light is not go away even after replacing. Any suggestion what to do now.the car runs fine no issue.I did disconnect the bettery even delete the code with the code reader but its not go away.
Double check to make sure you plugged the connector in. Or go to autozone and see if they scan and clear the codes for you with their scanner.
Disconnecting the battery should've done the trick. Try disconnecting 10 min or longer.
June of 2024...A class action lawsuit has been filed in California. Suggest retaining all parts receipts and/or dealership/auto garage repair bills. C'mon Toyota. Get this settlement done and support your loyal customers.
If you call Toyota customer support and tickle their ears a little and let them know how much you and your family love Toyota, and its a shame this is happening to your new Rav 4. You have a great chance of getting it covered at your local Toyota dealer.
@@TheYotaChannel will do. Thanks for the advice.
I think I can use glue for the leaking?
Can you replace the pins too? If they broken how to get new pins?
Thank you for making the video.
Thanks bro , good video , just sub.
Mine is turn off by itself, do I need to worry about it?
Just paid 788.03 to have mine repaired at Silsbee Toyota.
😬😬😬
Does the valve fail open or closed??
Thanks for the great video!
Worried about not making a mess with the refill yet you drop 2 gallons of fluid over the guy's plastic and axles and floor... geez. Half-ass job.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Same problem in RAV 4 2020
I am from Saudi Arabia same problem
Seems like everyone is getting the same alert at the same time!
What code came up? P0128?
At .34 seconds into the video, i showed the code stored. P0128 sounds like a coolant temperature issue
@@TheYotaChannel Not true! It shows P268111 and P268115.
You did not explain how to remove the electrical connection @ :53?? How about explaining this.
O.K. I went to another video and here is the explanation. I had used a mirror to locate the tab
towards the windshield side of the connector about halfway down and in the middle. I had to press
only in the middle of the connector, not the whole back side and was able to pull up. You will see in the mirror why you only push in the middle. Hopefully, this guy will learn to do a better job in the future
My RAV4 displaying the same message.
The thieves at Toyota was over $600 to fix this.
I cany take the electrical connector off for sh!@
hahahahaha ... I can't either. But from what I'm hearing if you have time to sit for a minute to allow your car time to warm up it doesn't matter if you replace the valve or not. The valve won't cause your vehicle to overheat from what the author of this video says soooo.
@@randyhill3964 I cannot take off the electrical connector either. Can someone, please explain since the author fail to address this?
900😢😢😢bucks
Yikes! Did you pay already? That's a lot.
@TheYotaChannel too😏😏😏 expensive and I am not sure I can do it myself
I am looking for local machinic to do it. Maybe cheaper
I did it myself. I bought the valve from Amazon for 33 bucks. The only hardest job was the bottom hose. It took me a while to take it off. Another parts were easy . Ty for the video. I save big bucks 😍
This seems like it should be a recall that should be fixed for no charge, I probably have the same problem since it just started a week ago and most likely the culprit, I have a third party warranty so let’s see what they actually cover or maybe I will complain to Toyota corporate
I've seen customers have success calling the Toyota customer service number. Give it a shot.
@@TheYotaChannel I’m definitely going to try to get them to cover it, I normally fix things myself but that’s why I got a warranty so I wouldn’t have to anymore. Thanks for the video and suggestion
