FOR ALL OF VEHICLES
PRECAUTION
1. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SRS AIRBAG
(a) The TOYOTA T100 is equipped with an SRS (Supple-
mental Restraint System), such as the driver airbag.
Failure to carry out service operations in the correct se-
quence could cause the supplemental restraint system to
unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to
a serious accident.
Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the supplemental
restraint system, it is possible the SRS may fail to operate
when required. Before servicing (including removal or
installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure
to read the following items carefully, then follow the cor-
rect procedure described in this manual.
(b) GENERAL NOTICE
(1) Malfunction symptoms of the supplemental re-
straint system are difficult to confirm, so the diag-
nostic trouble codes become the most important
source of information when troubleshooting. When
troubleshooting the supplemental restraint system,
always inspect the diagnostic trouble codes before
disconnecting the battery (See page DI−365).
(2) Work must be started after 90 seconds from the
time the ignition switch is turned to the ”LOCK” posi-
tion and the negative (−) terminal cable is discon-
nected from the battery.
(The supplemental restraint system is equipped
with a back−up power source so that if work is
started within 90 seconds of disconnecting the neg-
ative (−) terminal cable from the battery, the SRS
may deploy.)
When the negative (−) terminal cable is discon-
nected from the battery, memory of the clock and
audio systems will be cancelled. So before starting
work, make a record of the contents memorized by
the each memory system. Then when work is fin-
ished, reset the clock and audio systems as before.
To avoid erasing the memory of each memory sys-
tem, never use a back−up power supply from out-
side the vehicle.
(3) Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS
does not deploy, the steering wheel pad should be
inspected (See page RS−9).

(4) Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When
replacing parts, replace them with new parts.
(5) Before repairs, remove the center airbag sensor if
shocks are likely to be applied to the sensor during
repairs.
(6) Never disassemble and repair the center airbag
sensor assembly, steering wheel pad in order to re-
use it.
(7) If the center airbag sensor assembly, steering
wheel pad have been dropped, or if there are
cracks, dents or other defects in the case, bracket
or connector, replace them with new ones.
(8) Do not expose the center airbag sensor assembly,
steering wheel pad directly to hot air or flames.
(9) Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kΩ/V
minimum) for troubleshooting of the electrical cir-
cuit.
(10) Information labels are attached to the periphery of
the SRS components. Follow the instructions on the
notices.
(11) After work on the supplemental restraint system is
completed, check the SRS warning light (See page
DI−365).
(c) FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR
(1) Never reuse the front airbag sensors involved in a
collision that activated the supplemental restraint
system. (Replace both left and right airbag sen-
sors.)
(2) Install the front airbag sensor with the arrow on the
sensor facing toward the front of the vehicle.
The front airbag sensor set bolts have been anti−
rust treated. When the sensor is removed, always
replace the set bolts with new ones.
(3) The front airbag sensor is equipped with an electri-
cal connection check mechanism. Be sure to lock
this mechanism securely when connecting the con-
nector.
(4) If connector is not securely locked, a malfunction
code will be the diagnosis system (See page
RS−2).

(d) SPIRAL CABLE (in Combination Switch)
The steering wheel must be fitted correctly to the steering
column with the spiral cable at the neutral position, other-
wise cable disconnection and other troubles may result.
Refer to SR−33 of this manual concerning correct steer-
ing wheel installation.

(e) STEERING WHEEL PAD (with Airbag)
(1) When removing the steering wheel pad or handling
a new steering wheel pad, it should be placed with
the pad top surface facing up.
In this case, the twin−lock type connector lock lever
should be in the locked state and care should be
taken to place it so the connector will not be dam-
aged. In addition do not store a steering wheel pad
on top of another one. Storing the pad withits metal-
lic surface facing upward may lead to a serious acci-
dent if the airbag inflates for some reason.
(2) Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib.
(This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very
dangerous.)
(3) Grease should not be applied to the steering wheel
pad and the pad should not be cleaned with deter-
gents of any kind.
(4) Store the steering wheel pad where the ambient
temperature remains below 93°C (200°F), without
high humidity and away from electrical noise.
(5) When using electric welding, first disconnect the air-
bag connector (yellow color and 2 pins) under the
steering column near the combination switch con-
nector before starting work.
(6) When disposing of a vehicle or the steering wheel
pad alone, the airbag should be deployed using an
SST before disposal (See page RS−11).
Carry out the operation in a safe place away from
electrical noise.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
These are maintenance and inspection items which are considered to be the owner’s responsibility.
They can be done by the owner or they can have them done at a service shop.
These items include those which should be checked on a daily basis, those which, in most cases, do not
require (special) tools and those which are considered to be reasonable for the owner to do.
Items and procedures for general maintenance are as follows.
1. GENERAL NOTES
Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner’s manual supplement in which
the maintenance schedule is shown.
Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performed.
Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time interval (months).
Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval as before unless
otherwise noted.
Failure to do even one item can cause the engine to run poorly and increase exhaust emissions.
2. LIGHTS
(a) Check that the headlights, stop lights, taillights, turn signal lights, and other lights are all working.
(b) Check the headlight aim.
3. WARNING LIGHTS AND BUZZERS
Check that all warning lights and buzzers function properly.
4. HORN
Check that it is working.
5. WINDSHIELD GLASS
Check for scratches, pits or abrasions.
6. WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
(a) Check operation of the wipers and washer.
(b) Check that the wipers do not streak.
7. WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER
Check that air comes out from the defroster outlet when operating the heater or air conditioner.
8. REAR VIEW MIRROR
Check that it is mounted securely.
9. SUN VISORS
Check that they move freely and are mounted securely.
10. STEERING WHEEL
Check that it has the specified freeplay. Be alert for changes in steering condition, such as hard steering,
excessive freeplay or strange noises.
11. SEATS
(a) Check that the seat adjusters operate smoothly.
(b) Check that all latches lock securely in any position.
(c) Check that the head restraints move up and down smoothly and that the locks hold securely in any
latch position.
(d) For fold−down seat backs, check that the latches lock securely.
12. SEAT BELTS
(a) Check that the seat belt system such as the buckles, retractors and anchors operate properly and
smoothly.
(b) Check that the belt webbing is not cut, frayed, worn or damaged.
