I need help with my 2.4 D 2 LTE 1991 Surf. Recently the engine check light has been coming on after travelling a couple of km down the road. The green turbo light goes out and the check light stays on. Sometimes at about 2400 rpm the check light goes out and the green turbo light comes back on but it is intermittent.
Can anyone tell me what to do to sort this problem out. I have attached a gauge and there is plenty of boost pressure in each gear. I think it does run better without the check light coming on.

Try Simon at S&B in Bibra Lake 0433 243 308, or failing that give a few of the 4x4 wreckers near your area a go. Your location isn't filled in your profile so I can't point you to one near you.

The turbo fault is now rectified
I have replaced the main temperature sender but the check light still will not turn off. I have tried resetting the system but there must still be a fault.
All help would be appreciated.
Also when the 4WD button is clicked I can here a loud click but the 4WD light no longer comes on in the dash. I did have a left wheel seal done in the rear diff but i don't think it has anything to do with it.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Unhook the battery and then press the brake pedal to discharge any residual power from the ECU.
Then hook it all back up and see if the light comes back on. If it does, do another test and see what error code you get.
It's a bit of dicking around I know, but eliminate the easy shit first.

Thanks
I have tried everything and the light has gone out but it is still registering 4 flashes on the diagnostic check. The light is coming on but goes out after a couple of seconds.
Next step please.

If you've replaced the sensor, then there can only be an issue in the wiring or a connector.
The next easist step is to clean the connector that hooks up to the sensor. 99.9% sure it won't be this, but do it anyway..
After that, I would start by unplugging the battery(s) again, then disconnecting the ECU plug and reconnecting it about 10-20 times just in case the connection there is crappy.
Failing this, then I can only recommend a Toyota specialist, but be prepared to grab your ankles because it won't be cheap. If I was to trust anyone with my car, it would be Simon at S&B (0433 243 308).
It sounds as though it may be something that you can live with though. I have an engine error code pop up on mine every time I floor it because I have spaced the wategate to increase boost and the error is in the turbo sensor. As long as it comes on only every now and then for a couple of seconds at a time, then I would be inclined to ignore it, but still give Simon a call. He's the guru for the Surfs in WA.
Also, I just noticed the issue with the 4WD light. If you're hearing the system engage, then the first easy fix is to replace the globe in the fascia panel.
