    Toyota Camry · 20072017

    2.4L / 2.5L petrol. XV40 & XV50 chassis

    The most-serviced Camry generation in Nigeria. Diagrams cover both the XV40 (2007–2011) and the XV50 (2012–2017) since they share most of the auxiliary harness layout.

    • Lighting
    • Starting
    • Charging
    • Engine management
    • Transmission
    • Body electronics
    • Comfort & convenience
    • ABS / SRS

    Toyota Corolla · 20082018

    1.6L / 1.8L petrol. E140 & E170 chassis

    Covers both the E140 (2008–2013) and E170 (2014–2018) generations. The biggest delta is the body-control module , 2014+ moved most lighting logic into the BCM.

    • Charging
    • Engine management
    • Body electronics
    • ABS / SRS

    Workshop notes

    • E170 cluster wakes up on door-open via the BCM. Diagram shows the wake signal pin.
    • Pre-2014 ignition switch IGN2 contact wears , 60% of "intermittent crank" complaints trace to this.
