REPLACEMENT
1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Remove the radiator cap from the water outlet.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the ra-
diator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) Loosen the radiator drain plug and engine drain plugs,
and drain the coolant.
(c) Close the drain plugs.
Torque:
RH engine drain plug on cylinder block side cover:
7 N´m (70 kgf´cm, 61 in.´lbf)
LH engine drain plug on union:
13 N´m (130 kgf´cm, 9 ft´lbf)
2. FILL ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Slowly fill the system with coolant.

Use of improper coolants may damage engine cool-
ing system.

Use ºToyota Long life Coolantº or equivalent and
mix it with plan water according to the manufactur-
er's directions.

Using of coolant which includes more than 50 %
(freezing protection down to -35°C (-31°F) or 60 %
(freezing protection down to -50°C (-58°F)) of eth-
ylene-glycol is recommended but not more than 70
%.
NOTICE:

Do not use an alcohol type coolant or plain water
alone.

The coolant should be mixed with plain water (prefer-
ably demineralized water or distilled water).
Capacity: 9.0 liters (9.5 US qts, 7.9 lmp. qts)
(b) Install the radiator cap.
(c) Start the engine, and bleed the cooling system.
(d) If necessary, refill coolant into the reservoir up to the
ºFULLº line.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Start the inspection from step 1, in case of using the TOYOTA hand-held tester and start from step 2, in case
of not using the TOYOTA hand-held tester.
1 Check output value of the master cylinder pressure sensor.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the TOYOTA hand-held tester main switch ON.
(c) Select the DATALIST mode on the TOYOTA hand-held tester.
CHECK:
Check that the brake fluid pressure value of the master cylinder pressure sensor displayed on the TOYOTA
hand-held tester is changing when depressing the brake pedal.
OK:
Brake fluid pressure value must be changing.
OK Go to step 4.
NG
2 Check master cylinder pressure sensor.
PREPARATION:
Install LSPV gauge to the front caliper bleeder plug portion, and
bleed the air from LSPV gauge.
SST 09709-29018
CHECK:
Start the engine and depress the brake pedal, then check the
relation between the fluid pressure and voltage of PMC and E2
terminals of the master cylinder pressure sensor with connector
still connected.
OK:
Front brake caliper fluid pressureVoltage
0 kPa (0 Kgf/cm2, 0 psi)0.44 - 0.76 V
5,883 kPa (60 kgf/cm2, 853 psi)1.34 - 1.66 V
11,768 kPa (120 kgf/cm2, 1,706 psi)2.24 - 2.56 V
HINT:
Voltage between terminals VCM and E2: 4.7 - 5.3 V
NG Replace master cylinder pressure sensor.

(3) Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean.
(4) Push it back fully into the pipe.
(5) Pull it out and check that the fluid level is in the HOT
range.
If the level is not within the range, add new fluid.
Fluid type: ATF D-II or DEXRON®III (DEXRON®II)
NOTICE:

Do not overfill.

After filling ATF, check the oil level securely then
drive a vehicle.
(b) Check the fluid condition.
If the fluid smells burnt or is black, replace it.
(c) Replace the ATF.
(1) Remove the drain plug and drain the fluid.
(2) Reinstall the drain plug securely.
(3) With the engine OFF add new fluid through the oil
filler pipe.
Fluid type: ATF D-II or DEXRON®III (DEXRON®II)
Capacity: 4.75 liters (5.0 US qts, 4.2 Imp. qts)
(4) Start the engine and shift the shift lever into all posi-
tions from P to L position and then shift into P posi-
tion.
(5) With the engine idling, check the fluid level. Add
fluid up to the COOL level on the dipstick.
(6) Check the fluid level at the normal operating tem-
perature, 70 - 80 °C (158 - 176 °F), and add as
necessary.
NOTICE:
Do not overfill.

(d) Check the fluid leaks.
Check for leaks in the transaxle.
If there are leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace O-rings,
gasket, oil seals, plugs or other parts.
(e) Inspect and adjust the throttle cable.
(1) Check that the accelerator pedal is fully released.
(2) Check that the inner cable is not slack.
(3) Measure the distance between the outer cable end
and stopper on the cable.
Standard distance: 0 - 1 mm (0 - 0.04 in.)
If the distance is not the standard, adjust the cable by adjusting
nuts.
(f) Inspect and adjust the shift lever position.
When shifting the shift lever from the N position to other
positions, check that the lever can be shifted smoothly
and accurately to each position and that the position indi-
cator is aligned with the correct position.
If the indicator is not aligned with the correct position, carry out
the following adjustment procedures.
(1) Loosen the nut on the shift lever.
(2) Push the control shaft fully downward.
(3) Return the control shaft lever 2 notches to N posi-
tion.
(4) Set the shift lever to N position.
(5) While holding the shift lever lightly toward the R
position side, tighten the shift lever nut.
Torque: 13 N´m (130 kgf´cm, 9 ft´lbf)
(6) Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle
moves forward when shifting the lever from the N to
D position and reverses when shifting it to the R
position.

7. HYDRAULIC TEST
Measure the line pressure.
NOTICE:

Do the test at normal operation fluid temperature 50 - 80 °C (122 - 176 °F).

The line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe
the conditions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is doing the test.

Be careful to prevent SST's hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
(1) Warm up the ATF.
(2) Remove the test plug on the transaxle case front left side and connect SST (See page AX-33
for the location to connect SST).
SST 09992-00095 (09992-00231, 09992-00271)
(3) Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
(4) Connect an OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to DLC3.
(5) Start the engine and check idling speed.
(6) Keep your left foot pressing firmly on the brake pedal and shift into D position.
(7) Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
(8) Depress the accelerator pedal all the way down. Quickly read the highest line pressure when
engine speed reaches stall speed.
(9) In the same manner, do the test in R position.
Specified line pressure:
ConditionD position kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)R position kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
Idling401 - 461 (4.1 - 4.7, 58 - 66)804 - 882 (8.2 - 9.0, 117 - 128)
Stall1,138 - 1,236 (11.6 - 12.6, 165 - 179)1,716 - 1,854 (17.5 - 18.9, 249 - 269)
If the measured pressure is not up to the specified value, recheck the throttle cable adjustment and retest.
Evaluation:
