3. Contributors to Poor Performance/Decreased Rubber Blade Life (require rubber
replacement)
Dusty areas cause the rubber edge to wear quickly.
Sand and salt used for road conditioning during winter causes the edge to wear
quickly, so areas with significant snowfall require more frequent wiper
replacement.
Heat and time cause the rubber to become excessively ªpermanent set,º so the
rubber does not turn over, resulting in streaking and/or unwiped areas on the
glass.
Rubber is easily cut or torn while using ice scrapers on the glass.
Rubber can be torn when pulling blades off a frozen windshield.
Using wipers instead of an ice scraper to remove frost and ice from the windshield
during a car warm up can dull, nick, or tear the rubber.
Banging wiper on the glass to remove ice & snow can cause the blade to bend
and rubber to come out of the blade providing the potential to scratch the glass.
Ice forms in wiper blade pin joints, which causes streaking and unwiped areas. To
remove ice from pin joints, compress the blade and rubber with your hand to
loosen the frozen joints. To prevent this condition, use winter blades with a rubber
cover.Maintenance,

3) Advantages Of Using An On±Car Brake Lathe
Toyota Motor Corporation Engineers strongly recommend that an on±car brake lathe be used
for repairing brake vibration and pulsation. This method improves rotor and hub combined
runout, and is the preferred method when compared to rotor replacement and off±the±car rotor
machining.
A. Technical Advantage of Caliper Mounted Brake Lathe
± Installing the brake lathe in the same position as the caliper results in minimal runout
relative to the caliper.
± Eliminating this runout minimizes the pad grinding on the rotor and reduces rotor
thickness variation.
B. Practical Use Benefits
± Resurfacing rotors on vehicles with rotor/hub assemblies can be performed easily.
± Vehicles with corrosion between hub and rotor flanges can be machined without
removing rotor from hub.
4) Rotor Replacement And Off±Car Brake Lathe Procedures
If an on±car brake lathe is not available at your dealership, it may be necessary to use an off±car
lathe or replace rotors. In order to ensure proper brake vibration and pulsation repairs, pay close
attention to the following precautions:
A. Off±Car Brake Lathe Precautions
± Perform routine maintenance of brake lathe components (clearance of arbor shaft to
adapters may need to be repaired).
± Clean all adapters and shaft to maintain accuracy of equipment.
± When installing rotor to machine, clean mud, rust, and/or foreign material from the
adapters and rotors.
± After installing rotor on machine, check rotor runout using dial indicator. If runout is
excessive, determine the cause and correct it.
± Follow lathe manufacturer repair procedures. Do not cut excessive amounts off rotor
during the first cut to save time.
Anytime a rotor is machined it must be measured for minimum rotor thickness. The
thickness for the rotor is never to be less than minimum thickness as specified in the
appropriate repair manual.

BRAKE PAD CLICKING NOISE
Models:

Technical Service
BULLETIN
October 20, 2000

A clicking type noise may be noticed when first applying the brakes after changing
vehicle travel direction (
Drive/Forward to Reverse, Reverse to Drive/Forward). This is a
normal noise caused by the required brake pad±to±caliper clearances. When the
direction of travel is changed, the brake pads may ªshiftº towards the new direction of
travel. When the brake pad contacts the caliper, a clicking noise may be heard.
To minimize this clicking noise, a disc brake caliper grease has been made available for
use during brake service/maintenance operations. Under normal usage conditions this
grease should be effective for a period of 6 months to 1 year.
1990 ± 2000 model year Toyota vehicles, all models.

TSB REVISION NOTICE:
The information updated in this TSB is red
and underlined.
The On±Board Diagnostic (OBDII) system is designed to monitor the performance of
emission±related components and report any detected abnormalities in the form of
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Since the various components need to be monitored
during different driving conditions, the OBDII system is designed to run separate
monitoring programs called Readiness Monitors. Many state Inspection and
Maintenance (I/M) programs require that vehicles complete their Readiness Monitors
prior to beginning an emissions test.
The current status of the Readiness Monitors can be seen by using the Toyota Diagnostic
Tester with version 9.0 software (or newer), or a generic OBDII Scantool.
To view the Readiness Monitor status using the Toyota Diagnostic Tester, select ªMonitor
Statusº from the Enhanced OBDII Menu.
A status of ªcompleteº indicates that the necessary conditions have been met to run the
performance tests for the related Readiness Monitor.
The Readiness Monitor will be reset to ªincompleteº if:

ECU has lost power (battery or fuse).

DTCs have been cleared.

The conditions for running the Readiness Monitor have not been met.
In the event that any Readiness Monitor shows ªincomplete,º follow the appropriate
Readiness Monitor Drive Pattern to change the readiness status to ªcomplete.º
Refer to the Readiness Monitor Drive Pattern Application Table to determine which
drive pattern should be followed.

To help prevent unnecessary complications during the oil fill process, no undue load
should be placed on the oil baffle attached to the inside of the valve cover (see
illustration). This baffle is designed to deflect oil and should not be used to support
the weight of heavy oil fill devices. These devices can place stress on the baffle, and
bend or break it during the oil fill process.
All 1993 ± 2003 model year Toyota vehicles.
Please take measures to ensure that the baffle is not damaged during the oil fill process.
If it does become damaged, repair it before any collateral damage occurs.
