Items listed below should be checked
from time to time, e.g. each time when
refueling.
Washer fluid
Make sure there is sufficient fluid in the
tank. See Chapter 7±3 for additional in-
formation.
Engine coolant level
Make sure the coolant level is between
the ºFULLº and ºLOWº lines on the see±
through reservoir when the engine is cold.
See Chapter 7±2 for additional information.
Battery electrolyte level
Make sure the electrolyte level of all bat-
tery cells is between upper and lower lev-
el lines on the case. Add only distilled
water when replenishing. See Chapter 7±3
for additional information.
Brake fluid level
Make sure the brake fluid level is correct.
See Chapter 7±2 for additional information.
Engine oil level
Check the level on the dipstick with the
engine turned off and the vehicle parked
on a level spot. See Chapter 7±2 for addi-
tional information.Power steering fluid level
Check the level through the reservoir. The
level should be in the ºHOTº or ºCOLDº
range depending on the fluid temperature.
See Chapter 7±2 for additional information.
Exhaust system
If you notice any change in the sound of
the exhaust or smell exhaust fumes, have
the cause located and corrected immedi-
ately. (See engine exhaust cautions in
Part 2.)Be on the alert for changes in perfor-
mance, sounds, and visual tip±offs that
indicate service is needed. Some impor-
tant clues are as follows:

Engine missing, stumbling, or pinging

Appreciable loss of power

Strange engine noises

A leak under the vehicle (however, wa-
ter dripping from the air conditioning
after use is normal.)

Change in exhaust sound (This may
indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide
leak. Drive with the windows open and
have the exhaust system checked im-
mediately.)

Flat±looking tire; excessive tire squeal
when cornering; uneven tire wear

Vehicle pulls to one side when driving
straight on a level road

Strange noises related to suspension
movement

Loss of brake effectiveness; spongy
feeling brake or clutch pedal;pedal al-
most touches floor; vehicle pulls to one
side when braking

Engine coolant temperature continually
higher than normal

TOYOTA MAINTENANCE & REPAIR SUPPORT5

Vehicle Service Agreements
By covering the cost of repairs that are no longer covered by
warranty, a vehicle service agreement protects you from unex-
pected repair costs down the road. Many service agreements
also cover services such as towing and car rental that minimize
the inconvenience of a mechanical breakdown.
Through Genuine Toyota Financial Services, Toyota offers
service agreement plans to meet the needs of almost every
customer. Under these plans, repairs are made only by autho-
rized Toyota dealerships using Genuine Toyota Parts. This
means you always get original- equipment quality installed
by factory- trained technicians.
Your Toyota dealer can help you select the service agreement
plan that’s best for you. Be sure to request a plan from Genuine
Toyota Financial Services to get the highest level of quality,
service and peace of mind.
Pre-Paid Maintenance
An excellent way to ensure that your Toyota receives regular
maintenance — and to protect yourself from increases in vehicle
service costs — is to pay for maintenance services in advance.
Toyota offers pre- paid maintenance plans for both new and
used vehicles. Both plans cover oil- and- filter changes, lubrica-
tion of key chassis parts and a 19- point vehicle inspection. The
plans also include 24- hour roadside assistance, timed service
reminders and a computerized history of each service visit.
To meet differing customer needs, Toyota’s pre- paid mainte-
nance plans offer a variety of options for service intervals and
coverage length. Ask your Toyota dealer to help you select the
options that are best for you.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE LOGS21 Brake Linings/Drums and Brake Pads/Discs
Check the brake linings (shoes) and drums for scoring, burning,
fluid leakage, broken parts and excessive wear. Check the pads for
excessive wear and the discs for runout, excessive wear and fluid
leakage. A qualified technician should perform these inspections.
Charcoal Canister (CA, MA and NY vehicles)
Check for internal damage and clogging. If necessary, clean
with compressed air or replace. A qualified technician should
perform these operations.
Differential Oil
Inspect each component for signs of leakage. If you discover any
leakage, have it repaired by a qualified technician immediately.
Drive Belts
Inspect for cracks, excessive wear and oiliness. Check the belt ten-
sion and adjust if necessary. Replace the belts if they are damaged.
Drive Shaft Boots
Check the drive shaft boots and clamps for cracks, deteriora-
tion and damage. Replace any damaged parts and, if necessary,
repack the grease. Selected models also require periodic inspec-
tion of the flange bolts for proper torque. A qualified technician
should perform these operations.
Engine Air Filter
Check for damage, excessive wear and oiliness. Replace if necessary.
Engine Coolant
Drain and flush the cooling system and refill with an ethylene-
glycol type coolant. A qualified technician should perform
this operation.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Change the oil filter and replace the engine oil with API SH,
Energy- Conserving II multigrade or ILSAC multigrade oil.
For recommended viscosity, refer to your
Owner’s Manual.

2. HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The hydraulic control system is composed of the oil pump, the valve body, the solenoid valves, the accu-
mulators, the clutches and brakes, and the governor valve as well as the fluid passages which connect
all of these components.
Based on the hydraulic pressure created by the oil pump, the hydraulic control system governs the hy-
draulic pressure acting on the torque converter clutch, clutches and brakes in accordance with the ve-
hicle driving conditions.
There are three solenoid valves on the valve body.
The No.1 and No.2 solenoid valves are turned on and off by signals from the ECM to operate the shift
valves and change the gear shift position.
The No.3 solenoid valve is operated by signals from the ECM to engage or disengage the lock±up
clutch of the torque converter.

The SL solenoid valve is operated by signals from the ECM to engage or disengage the lock±up clutch
of the torque converter clutch.
The SLN solenoid valve is operated by signals from the ECM to control the engagement speed and
reduce gear shift shock.
