Well we got his fixed by Replacing the OCV on Bank 2. We went ahead and replaced the OCV on Bank 1 as a precaution as well.
It seems they fail when the car is warmed up. His problem resolved completely.Thanks for the reply.

This may sound dumb but check your battery. I had a problem that when I started my car it really struggled to start and when it did everything was reset. Clock/radio. I had a weak battery and it didnt show up till it turned cold. If you are putting the electrical system under load by turning on the lights it may take a second or two before the voltage regulator for the alternator can “catch up” therefore the lost power and the clock reset. This would also explain the intermitten aspect of it.
Turning on the lights after the alternator has had a chance to put more charge to the battery may not result in the power/reset issue. The battery covers the demand until the alternator catches up with the load.This may sound dumb but check your battery.

If that is ok then check the flasher relay it maybe going bad/sticking because of the temp.

Hate to say it but I did the same thing to my Avalon. I didn’t have a torque wrench that could go low enough (89 inlbs or 7.5 ftlbs)I have one now. My issue was it was on a V6 on the rear bank and I couldnt get to it with anything that I had at my disposal. I hope the video helped you out as you should be able to get to the bolt. Mine ended up with a trip to the mechanic and a steep bill with a new head gasket and machine shop charge to remove the broken bolt. Also just an FYI that torque wrench may be in foot pounds and you likely need inch pounds. My valve cover bolts needed 89 inlbs.
For the tip of the broken punch get a magnet reach tool to find it. It is likely made of steel and will stick to the end. Good luck and stay dirty.

The codes indicate P0300″Random/Multiple Misfire” and P0171 “Bank 1 System To Lean” if it is P0141 “O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 2)” If these codes have been going on for a long time it may lead to preformance issues. I would start addressing those by checking your O2 sensors. Check that they are responding to throttle inputs by switching from lean to rich conditions. Also Ohm out the heater circuit on the Sensors to see if it is Open. I had a similar experience and I had the following P0171 and P0141 and P0300 I had a bad o2 sensor on bank 1. Replacing that solved the Misfire and the P0141. Cleaning the MAF solved the p0171 system to Lean. There is plenty of info on this website and videos to help you solve those problems. Use the Search on the main page type in your codes and it will link to articles that show you how to test and replace if nessecary.

Keep an eye on it as you drive more. It maybe a hardspot in the pad. But check to see if there is anything on the pad. IMO it should go away after the pads and rotor start to wear but it may not so keep an eye on it.

I use a DVM daily at work. I am an electronic tech that repairs medical equipment. I use a Fluke 87V. I love it. A little Pricey and doesnt have a load test built in but I am sure can buy an add on for that or build your own. Whatever meter you get, get one with autorange.
