(k) Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting the
vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the vehicle at the prop-
er locations (See page IN−8).
Cancel the parking brake on the level place and
shift the transmission in Neutral (or N position).
When jacking up the front wheels of the vehicle at
first place stoppers behind the rear wheels.
When jacking up the rear wheels of the vehicle at
first place stoppers before the front wheels.
When either the front or rear wheels only should be
jacked up, set rigid racks and place stoppers in front
and behind the other wheels on the ground.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it
on rigid racks . It is extremely dangerous to do any
work on a vehicle raised on a jack alone, even for
a small job that can be finished quickly.
(l) Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to the
following parts:
(1) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU unless absolutely necessary. (If the IC terminals are
touched, the IC may be destroyed by static electric-
ity.)
(2) To disconnect vacuum hoses, pull off the end, not the middle of the hose.
(3) To pull apart electrical connectors, pull on the con- nector itself, not the wires.
(4) Be careful not to drop electrical components, such
as sensors or relays. If they are dropped on a hard
floor, they should be replaced and not reused.
(5) When steam cleaning an engine, protect the elec- tronic components, air filter and emission −related
components from water.
(6) Never use an impact wrench to remove or install temperature switches or temperature sensors.

(7) When checking continuity at the wire connector, in-
sert the tester probe carefully to prevent terminals
from bending.
(8) When using a vacuum gauge, never force the hose onto a connector that is too large. Use a step −down
adapter for adjustment. Once the hose has been
stretched, it may leak air.
(m) Installation and removal of vacuum hose: (1) When disconnecting vacuum hoses, use tags to
identify how they should be reconnected to.
(2) After completing a job, double check that the vacu-
um hoses are properly connected. A label under the
hood shows the proper layout.
(n) Unless otherwise stated, all resistance is measured at an
ambient temperature of 20° C (68°F). Because the resis-
tance may be outside specifications if measured at high
temperatures immediately after the vehicle has been run-
ning, measurement should be made when the engine has
cooled down.

3. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION:
If large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it may overheat and create a fire haz-
ard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to yo\
ur customer.
(a) Use only unleaded gasoline.
(b) Avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
(c) Avoid spark jump test. (1) Perform spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
(2) While testing, never race the engine.
(d) Avoid prolonged engine compression measurement. Engine compression tests must be done as rapidly as possible.
(e) Do not run engine when fuel tank is nearly empty. This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the con\
verter.
(f) Avoid coasting with ignition turned off.
(g) Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with gasol\
ine or oil.
4. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
For vehicles with mobile communication systems such as two− way radios and cellular telephones, observe
the following precautions. (1) Install the antenna as far as possible away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle’\
s electronic
system.
(2) Install the antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and se\
nsors of the ve- hicle’s electronic systems. For details about ECU and sensors locations, refer\
to the section on
the applicable component.
(3) Avoid winding the antenna feeder together with other wiring as much as possible, and also avoid
running the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harnesses.
(4) Check that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
(5) Do not install powerful mobile communications system.
5. FOR USING OBD II SCAN TOOL OR TOYOTA HAND −HELD TESTER
CAUTION:
Observe the following items for safety reasons:
Before using the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand −held tester, the OBD II scan tool’s instruc-
tion book or TOYOTA hand −held tester’s operator manual should be read thoroughly.
Be sure to route all cables securely when driving with the OBD II scan too\
l or TOYOTA hand −
held tester connected to the vehicle. (i.e. Keep cables away from feet,\
pedals, steering wheel
and shift lever.)
Two persons are required when test driving with the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand −held
tester, one person to drive the vehicle and the other person to operate the OBD\
II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand−held tester.

HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ECU CONTROLLED SYSTEMS
GENERAL INFORMATION
A large number of ECU controlled systems are used in the LAND CRUISER. In general, the ECU controlled
system is considered to be a very intricate system requiring a high level of t\
echnical knowledge and expert
skill to troubleshoot. However, the fact is that if you proceed to inspect the circuits one by one, trou\
bleshoot-
ing of these systems is not complex. If you have adequate understanding of the system and a basic knowl-
edge of electricity, accurate diagnosis and necessary repair can be performed to locate and fix the pr\
oblem.
This manual is designed through emphasis of the above standpoint to help service techn\
icians perform ac-
curate and effective troubleshooting, and is compiled for the following major ECU con\
trolled systems:
The troubleshooting procedure and how to make use of it are described on\
the following pages.

1. EngineDI−1
2. Automatic TransmissionDI−129
3. Anti− Lock Brake SystemDI−188
4. Supplemental Restraint SystemDI−238
5. Cruise Control SystemDI−284
FOR USING OBD II SCAN TOOL OR TOYOTA HAND−HELD TESTER
Before using the scan tool or tester, the scan tool’ s instruction book or tester’s operator manual should
be read thoroughly.
If the scan tool or tester cannot communicate with ECU controlled systems \
when you have connected
the cable of the scan tool or tester to DLC3, turned the ignition switch\
ON and operated the scan tool,
there is a problem on the vehicle side or tool side.
(1) If communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, \
inspect the diagnosis data link line (Bus line) or ECU power circuit of the vehicle.
(2) If communication is still not possible when the tool is connected to anoth\
er vehicle, the problem is probably in the tool itself, so perform the Self Test procedures outline in the Tester Operator’s
Manual.

1. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS
In troubleshooting, the problem symptoms must be confirmed accurately an\
d all preconceptions must be
cleared away in order to give an accurate judgment. To ascertain just what the problem symptoms are, it is
extremely important to ask the customer about the problem and the conditions at t\
he time it occurred.
Important Point in the Problem Analysis:
The following 5 items are important points in the problem analysis. Past pr\
oblems which are thought to be
unrelated and the repair history, etc. may also help in some cases, so as much information as possible s\
hould
be gathered and its relationship with the problem symptoms should be corre\
ctly ascertained for reference
in troubleshooting. A customer problem analysis table is provided in Diagnostics section for each system
for your use.

2. SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
The diagnostic system in the LAND CRUISER fulfills various functions. The first functio\
n is the Diagnostic
Trouble Code Check in which a malfunction in the signal circuits to the ECU is stored in co\
de in the ECU
memory at the time of occurrence, to be output by the technician during troubl\
eshooting. Another function
is the Input Signal Check which checks if the signals from various switc\
hes are sent to the ECU correctly.
By using these check functions, the problem areas can be narrowed down qui\
ckly and troubleshooting can
be performed ef fectively. Diagnostic functions are incorporated in the following systems in the LAND CRUIS-
ER.

2. Automatic T ransmission

3. Anti− Lock Brake System
4. Supplemental Restraint System
5. Cruise Control System
In diagnostic trouble code check, it is very important to determine whethe\
r the problem indicated by the diag-
nostic trouble code is still occurring or occurred in the past but returned to\
normal at present. In addition,
it must be checked in the problem symptom check whether the malfunction \
indicated by the diagnostic
trouble code is directly related to the problem symptom or not. For this reason, the \
diagnostic trouble codes
should be checked before and after the symptom confirmation to determine the curre\
nt conditions, as shown
in the table below. If this is not done, it may, depending on the case, result in unnecessary troubleshooting
for normally operating systems, thus making it more difficult to locate the problem, or in repairs not pertinent
to the problem. Therefore, always follow the procedure in correct order an\
d perform the diagnostic trouble
code check.

3. SYMPTOM SIMULATION
The most dif ficult case in troubleshooting is when there are no problem symptoms occurring. In such\
cases,
a thorough customer problem analysis must be carried out, then simulate \
the same or similar conditions and
environment in which the problem occurred in the customer’s vehicle. No matter how much experience a
technician has, or how skilled he may be, if he proceeds to troubleshoot without c\
onfirming the problem
symptoms he will tend to overlook something important in the repair operation an\
d make a wrong guess
somewhere, which will only lead to a standstill. For example, for a problem which only occurs \
when the en-
gine is cold, or for a problem which occurs due to vibration caused by the road during\
driving, etc., the prob-
lem can never be determined so long as the symptoms are confirmed with t\
he engine hot condition or the
vehicle at a standstill. Since vibration, heat or water penetration (moisture) is l\
ikely cause for problem which
is difficult to reproduce, the symptom simulation tests introduced here are ef\
fective measures in that the ex-
ternal causes are applied to the vehicle in a stopped condition.
Important Points in the Symptom Simulation Test:
In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms should of course be c\
onfirmed, but the problem area
or parts must also be found out. To do this, narrow down the possible problem circuits according to the symp-
toms before starting this test and connect a tester beforehand. After that, \
carry out the symptom simulation
test, judging whether the circuit being tested is defective or normal and also confirming the \
problem symp-
toms at the same time. Refer to the problem symptoms table for each syst\
em to narrow down the possible
causes of the symptom.
