Toyota 5FBC25:
GOT TO WARM THE COMPUTER TO GET MY MACHINE TO MOVE

HI. a year ago my 5fbc25 started to have a delay.it would turn on you would hear the fan turning but it wouldn't move, but there were no codes. and if you wait long enough you would hear points click and it would be ok.
now the only way to get it to move is to warm up the electronics in the back with a hairdryer. as soon as you put a heat source to it you hear point click and then it will move... any ideas?

Showing items 1 - 3 of 3 results.
i started noticing that i never have any issues with the machine in summer so i tried the hair dryer , works fine. but if its really cold i will ahve to warm it more often. i dont know the name off the electronics.it have 2 computers in the back i think.
what do ya mean by monitoring the imput?
the computer it seems dont tell a set of point to contact.untill its warmed
i have manually pushed the set of point in but still nothing. does some switches in the electronics have oil in them? graspin at straws here.
thanks guys

maybe its just a sticking line contactor?

like edward says.... monitoring the inputs would be more helpful

I would say it was time for a reconditioned controller, but it could be most anything, and without watching the inputs to the controller logics and seeing what changes, I would not ever be sure what it was.
My question [reason for posting] is;
How did you find that hitting it with a hair dryer would fix it?
Do you normally have a hair dryer handy for troubleshooting??
does this truck have a curtis controller? ?checked the pin connections on the molex connector?
