PRE-CHECK
1. THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM
When the system is set to the theft deterrent mode and any of
the following conditions are met, the system sounds the horns
and flashes the headlights and the taillights for approx. 1 min-
ute.
At the same time the system locks all doors (If all door are not
locked at once, the system repeats door locking operation ev-
ery 6.38 seconds during the one minute alarm time).
There are 2 modes in this system, which are active mode and
passive mode.
All initial setting are performed in active mode. It can be
switched to passive mode by specified operation. (See step 4.
CHANGING METHOD OF PASSIVE MODE)
Condition:
Any of the doors (Including the engine hood and luggage
compartment door) is unlocked or opened without the
key. *1
The battery terminal is disconnected and reconnected.
The system receives panic signal from remote keyless
entry. *2
*1: Only active arming mode.
*2: When the ignition key is not inserted in the key cylinder.
There are 4 conditions in this system which are disarming
condition, disarming preparation condition, arming condition
and alarming condition.
(a) Disarming condition:
(1) When a user is near the vehicle.
(2) When the alarming function does not operate.
(3) When theft deterrent function is not performed.
(b) Disarming preparation condition:
(1) Time from a user locks a door to be leaves the ve-
hicle.
(2) Time until transferring to disarming condition.
(3) Theft deterrent function is not performed.
(c) Arming condition:
(1) When a user leaves the vehicle completely.
(2) When theft deterrent function is possible.

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
Proceed to the reference page shown in the matrix chart below for each malfunction symptom and trouble-
shoot for each circuit.
HINT:
Troubleshooting of the theft deterrent system is based on the premise that the door lock control system is
operating normally. Accordingly, before troubleshooting the theft deterrent system, first make certain that
the door lock control system is operating normally.

HEAT METHOD: When the problem seems to occur when the suspect area is heated. 2
NOTICE:3 WATER SPRINKLING METHOD:
(1)
(2)
4 OTHER: When a malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is excessive.When the malfunction seems to occur on a rainy day or in a
high-humidity condition. Heat the component that is the likely cause of the malfunction
with a hair dryer or similar object. Check to see if the malfunction
occurs.
Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check to see if the malfunc-
tion occurs.
Turn on all electrical loads including the heater blower, head
lights, rear window defogger, etc. and check to see if the mal-
function occurs.ON HINT:
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaked water may
contaminate the ECU. When testing a vehicle with a water leak-
age problem, special caution must be taken.
Malfunc-
tion
Do not heat to more than 60 °C (140 °F). (Temperature
is limited not to damage the components.)
Do not apply heat directly to parts in the ECU. (1)
(2)
Never sprinkle water directly into the engine compart-
ment, but indirectly change the temperature and hu-
midity by applying water spray onto the radiator front
surface.
Never apply water directly onto the electronic compo-
nents. NOTICE:

the maintenance schedule is shown.

Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performed.

Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time interval (months).

Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval as before unless
otherwise noted.

Failure to do even one item an cause the engine to run poorly and increase exhaust emissions.
2. LIGHTS
(a) Check that the headlights, stop lights, taillights, turn signal lights, and other lights are all working.
(b) Check the headlight aim.
3. WARNING LIGHTS AND BUZZERS
Check that all warning lights and buzzers function properly.
4. HORN
Check that it is working.
5. WINDSHIELD GLASS
Check for scratches, pits or abrasions.
6. WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
(a) Check operation of the wipers and washer.
(b) Check that the wipers do not streak.
7. WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER
Check that air comes out from the defroster outlet when operating the heater or air conditioner at defroster
mode.
8. REAR VIEW MIRROR
Check that it is mounted securely.
9. SUN VISORS
Check that they move freely and are mounted securely.
10. STEERING WHEEL
Check that it has the specified free-play. Be alert for changes in steering condition, such as hard steering,
excessive free-play or strange noises.
11. SEATS
(a) Check that the seat adjusters operate smoothly.
(b) Check that all latches lock securely in any position.
(c) Check that the head restraints move up and down smoothly and that the locks hold securely in any
latch position.
(d) For fold-down seat backs, check that the latches lock securely.
12. SEAT BELTS
(a) Check that the seat belt system such as the buckles, retractors and anchors operate properly and
smoothly.
(b) Check that the belt webbing is not cut, frayed, worn or damaged.

INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH AND RH
(a) Install the front airbag sensors with the 4 bolts.
Torque: 20 N´m (205 kgf´cm, 15 ft´lbf)
NOTICE:

Connection of the connector is done after the sensor
assembly has been installed.

Make sure the sensor is installed with the specified
torque.

If the sensor has been dropped, or there are cracks,
dents or other defects in the case, brackets or con-
nector, replace the removed sensor with a new one.

The front sensor is equipped with an electrical con-
nection check mechanism. Be sure to lock this mech-
anism securely when connecting the connector. If the
connector is not securely locked, a malfunction code
will be detected by the diagnostic system.
HINT:
Install the front airbag sensor with the arrow on the sensor fac-
ing toward the front of the vehicle.
(b) Connect the front airbag sensor connector.
2. INSTALL HEAD LIGHT
Install head lights with the 4 bolts and 2 screws (See page
BE-23).

:
2001 AVALON (RM808U)
CAUTION:

The front passenger airbag assembly is very hot
when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at
least 30 minutes after deployment.

Use gloves and safety glasses when handling the
front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed

the operation.

Do not apply water, etc. to the front passenger airbag
assembly with the deployed airbag.

When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and
scrap the vehicle with the front passenger airbag as-
sembly still installed.

When moving a vehicle for scrapping which has the
front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed
airbag, use gloves and safety glasses.
HINT:
The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST ac-
tivation switch lights up.
2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF FRONT PAS-
SENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY ONLY
NOTICE:

When disposing of the front passenger airbag assem-
bly only, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy
the airbag.

Be sure to follow the procedure given below when de-
ploying the airbag.
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Remove the front passenger airbag assembly (See page
RS-28).
CAUTION:
