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.

1/4 and 3/4
Visually inspect for presence
of Fuel/Gas Cap
DO NOT TIGHTEN OR REMOVE!
PRESSURIZE EVAP SYSTEM (System Integrity Check)
This test checks for leaks in the canister and fuel tank sides. The CCV and Air Inlet Lines will be checked
separately.
A) Clamp the air drain hose on the charcoal canister with the supplied hose pliers from the EVAP System
Pressure Test Kit.
B) Locate the vapor pressure sensor. If the vapor pressure sensor has two hoses connected to it,
disconnect the hose between the air drain hose fitting at the vapor pressure sensor and plug the hose.
C) Connect the pressure supply hose from the Pressure Test Kit to the Green EVAP System Service Port
located on the EVAP Purge VSV line in the engine compartment.
D) Using the directions on the inside of the EVAP System Pressure Test Kit lid, pressurize the EVAP
system. Once pressurized, turn off the pump and seal the system (Pressure Hold Switch to ªClosedº
and Vent Switch to ªClosed).
E) After 30 seconds, note the pump pressure gauge reading and the Scan Tool vapor pressure
sensor reading.
F) Compare the readings to one of the four conditions listed below and proceed as directed.
DO NOT PROCEED! NG
OK
SCAN TOOL SETUP
A) Connect Scan Tool to DLC3 on vehicle.
B) Go to the SETUP menu and select UNIT CONVERSION.
C) Under VAPOR PRESSURE, Select ABS for absolute pressure, and mmHg for millimeters of mercury.
This is to match the Repair Manual specifications.
D) Go back to FUNCTION SELECT menu and select ENHANCED OBD II.
E) Select NORMAL MODE. Then select CURRENT DATA and USER SELECT.
F) Using the arrow key, select VAPOR PRESS from the DATA LIST and select YES.
G) Press ENTER. You will now be able to monitor the Vapor Pressure Sensor reading.

BULLETIN
March 22, 2002

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.

WARRANTY PARTS
MARKING PROCEDURE
Models:
All Models
Technical Service
BULLETIN
September 26, 2003
Effective September 1, 2003, all warranty parts (as indicated on the next page) must be
marked in the area or location of the failure. The technician should complete this
procedure after the failed part has been removed from the vehicle and before the part is
placed in the 10±bin storage. (Exchanged parts and remanufactured parts are not
included in this procedure.)
Failed parts marking will be beneficial in detecting and resolving product and parts quality
issues. This will also offer additional opportunities to make future enhancements to our
parts and products.
Parts are subject to random inspection in the dealership by field representatives to
ensure compliance with this new policy.
Failure to comply with this policy may result in a debit of the corresponding
warranty claim(s).
All models.
All technicians must follow these procedures to ensure proper parts marking:
Wipe the part clean (no excess fluid should be present).
Indicate area of defect or failure by marking the specific part(s) with a water
resistant permanent marker. Use a color that can be easily seen against the
background of the part being marked. For dark surfaces the color yellow is highly
recommended as well as the color black for light surfaces.
Mark the area of failure or defect by drawing a circle, a square, pointing an arrow
or adhering tape with an indication of the failed or defect location.
Attach a completed Warranty Parts Tag (M/N 00404±PRETN±TAGS) to the
marked part.
All other parts recovery/shipping policies and procedures apply
.
