HEAT METHOD: When the problem seems to occur when the suspect area is heated.

NOTICE: 3 WATER SPRINKLING METHOD:
(1)
(2)
4 OTHER: When a malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is excessive. When the malfunction seems to occur on a rainy day or in a
high
−humidity condition.
Heat the component that is the likely cause of the malfunction
with a hair dryer or similar object. Check to see if the
malfunction
occurs.
Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check to see if the malfunc-
tion occurs.
Turn on all electrical loads including the heater blower, head
lights, rear window defogger, etc. and check to see if the mal-
function occurs. ON
HINT:
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaked water may
contaminate
the ECU. When testing a vehicle with a water leak-
age problem, special caution must be taken.
Malfunc-
tion
Do not heat to more than 60 °C (140° F). (Temperature
is limited not to damage the components.)
Do not apply heat directly to parts in the ECU.
(1)
(2)
Never sprinkle water directly into the engine compart-
ment, but indirectly change the temperature and hu-
midity by applying water spray onto the radiator front
surface.
Never apply water directly onto the electronic compo-
nents.

25. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING CIRCUIT
Disconnect the switch connector and inspect the connector on
wire harness side, as shown.
Tester connectionConditionSpecified condition
2 − GroundConstantContinuity
If continuity is not as specified, inspect the wire harness or
ground point.
26. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the switch.
(b) Ground terminal 1 on the wire harness connector.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the warning
light lights up approximately 40 seconds later.
If the warning light does not light up, inspect bulb or wire har-
ness.
27. INSPECT LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT
(a) Connect terminals 1 and 3 through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and the negative ( −) lead to terminal 2.
(c) Turn the rheostat knob to fully counterclockwise, and
check that the test bulb goes out.
(d) Gradually turn the rheostat knob to clockwise, and check
that the test bulb brightness changes from dark to bright.
If operation is not as specified, replace the rheostat.
HINT:
Adjust the brightness of illumination lights by rheostat.

CHARGING SYSTEM
ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL AND VOLT-
AGE
(a) Check the electrolyte quantity of each cell.
If under the lower level, replace the battery (or add distilled wa-
ter if possible). check the charging system.
(b) Measure the battery voltage between the negative ( −)
and positive (+) terminals of the battery.
Standard voltage: At 20° C (68°F): 12.7 − 12.9 V
HINT:
Before measuring the voltage, turn the ignition switch
OFF and turn off the electrical systems (headlight, blower
motor, rear defogger etc.).
If the vehicle has been running, wait 20 minutes or more
after the vehicle stops before measuring the battery volt-
age.
If the voltage is less than specification, charge the battery.
HINT:
Check the indicator as shown in the illustration.
2. CHECK BATTERY TERMINALS, FUSIBLE LINK AND FUSES
(a) Check that the battery terminals are not loose or cor-
roded.

DIAGNOSTICS SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Preparation.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect negative ( −) terminal cable from the battery,
and wait at least 90 seconds.
(b) Remove steering wheel pad (See page SR−11).
(c) Disconnect connector of front passenger airbag assem- bly (See page RS−22 ).
(d) Disconnect connector of airbag sensor assembly (See page RS−33 ).
CAUTION:
Store the steering wheel pad with the front surface facing
upward.
2 Check source voltage.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect negative ( −) terminal cable to battery.
(b) Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure voltage at IG2 or ACC on sensor and operate electric
system. (defogger, wiper, headlight, heater blower, etc.)
OK:
Voltage: 10 − 14 V
NG Check the harness between battery and airbag sensor assembly, and check the battery and
charging system.
OK

3 Does SRS warning light turn off?
PREPARATION:
(a) Turn ignition switch to LOCK.
(b) Connect steering wheel pad connector.
(c) Connect front passenger airbag assembly connector.
(d) Connect airbag sensor assembly connector.
(e) Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Operate electric system (defogger, wiper, headlight, heater
blower, etc.) and check that SRS warning light goes off.
NO Check DTC, if a DTC is output, perform trouble-
shooting according to DTC, if a normal code is
output, replace airbag sensor assembly.
YES
From the results of the above inspection, the malfunctioning part can now be \
considered normal.
To make sure of this, use the simulation method to check.
