2. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION:
If large amount of unburned compressed neutral gas (CNG) flows into the converter, it may overheat
and create a fire hazard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your
customer.
(a) Use only unleaded compressed neutral gas (CNG).
(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 converter.
(f) Avoid coasting with ignition turned off.
(g) Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with neutral gas or oil.
3. 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 sensors 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.

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.
