A/C COMPRESSOR MAINTENANCE FOR
STORED VEHICLES
Models:
All Models
Technical Service
BULLETIN
July 21, 2000

When a vehicle is stored for a long period (more than one month), the volume of oil
in the A/C compressor may decrease due to oil flow into the condenser, pipes, etc.
If the A/C system is turned on at high engine RPM after a long storage period, A/C
compressor damage may result.
To minimize the possibility of damage to the A/C compressor while storing a vehicle,
perform the following recommended maintenance procedure at
least once a month to
lubricate the compressor.
Recommended
Maintenance Procedure For A/C Compressor Lubrication:
1. Turn
off A/C and blower switches prior to starting engine.
2. Start and warm±up engine until engine speed drops below 1,000 RPM.
3. Turn on the A/C system (including the rear A/C) using the following settings:
A/C switch: On
Blower Speed: High
Engine Speed: Below 1,000 RPM
4. Keep A/C on with engine idling for at least 30 seconds.
5. Turn off A/C system and stop engine.

SULFUR ODOR FROM EXHAUST
Models:
All Models
Technical Service
BULLETIN
February 24, 2003

Some owners of Toyota vehicles may experience a sulfur±like or ªrotten eggº odor from
the exhaust system. Sulfur is a natural component of crude oil from which gasoline is
refined and the amount of sulfur can be decreased through the refining process. The
amount of sulfur in fuel sold in California is regulated, however gasoline sold in other
states can have substantially higher sulfur content. Sulfur content also varies
considerably between gasoline brands and locations.
All Models.
A sulfur odor emitted from the vehicle's tailpipe does not necessarily indicate that there is
an issue with the engine's running condition, but is most likely directly related to the fuel.
If the vehicle is exhibiting an excessive sulfur odor, the following checks should be
performed:
If the MIL light is ON, check for DTCs and repair as necessary.
If no trouble is found after performing the above check, recommend the customer try a
different source of fuel.
Replacement of oxygen sensors, air/fuel ratio sensors or catalytic converters will not
reduce the odor and will therefore not
be considered warrantable.

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.
