6RadioPOOR RECEPTION
Is the condition bad in comparison with other vehicles?
Are there any additional installation parts?
(Sun shade film, telephone antenna, etc.)
Check if there is any scratch and breaking of a wire on
the glass antenna and the defogger pattern.
(visual check. tester)
(See page BE-126)
Is the contact of the plug jack of the radio OK?
Does the condition get better by using the outer
antenna (such as pillar antenna)?
Is the contact of the antenna terminal on the glass
surface and the defogger terminal?
Is the continuity of the antenna cord OK?
Check the grounding of the antenna, antenna cord,
choke coil, and noise filter. (See page BE-126)
Does the condition get better by replacing
the choke coil?
Does the condition get better by replacing the
antenna cord?Take a measure for contact. An electric wave environment is bad.
Does the condition get better if
removing them?
Influence of additional installation parts.
Repair. (See Pub. No. RM588E on
page BE-125)
Check the radio.
Take a measure for contact.
Grounding failure. Replace the antenna cord.
Replace the choke coil.

26 Noise NOISE OCCURS
No
Ye s
NG
OK Does the noise occur only in the radio?
Does the noise occur in a particular place?
Is there any additional installation part
around the glass imprinted antenna?
(Sun shade film, telephone antenna etc.)
Does the noise occur even pulling out the
antenna cord from the radio?
Does the noise occur even after pulling out the
antenna terminal on the glass surface?
Isn't there any adhesive (Butyl rubber)
stuck on the bases of the antenna
terminal, defogger terminal and bus bar?
Check the grounding of the antenna,
antenna cord, coke coil, and noise filter.
(See page BE-126) Does the noise occur even after pulling out
the defogger terminal?
Does the condition get better by replacing
the antenna cord.
Noise rediates directly to the antenna from the
generation source. Does the condition get better by replacing
the choke coil?
Replace the antenna cord. Replace the choke coil. Interfering noise from the defogger line
and choke coil.
Grounding failure. Failure of glass installation.
Must plane the butyl rubber. Noise mixing into the antenna cable. Check the radio. Influence of the film or the noise radiation
of the additional installation part. Does the noise stop by removing it? An electric environment.Refer to No.27. (It occurs in the cassette and CD.)

2. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION:
If large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it may overheat and create a fire haz-
ard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
(a) Use only unleaded gasoline.
(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 gasoline 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.
4. FOR USING OBD II SCAN TOOL OR TOYOTA HAND-HELD TESTER
CAUTION:
Observe the following items for safety reasons:

Before using the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester, the OBD II scan tool's instruc-
tion book or TOYOTA hand-held tester's operator manual should be read thoroughly.

Be sure to route all cables securely when driving with the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-
held tester connected to the vehicle. (i.e. Keep cables away from feet, pedals, steering wheel
and shift lever.)

Two persons are required when test driving with the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held
tester, one person to drive the vehicle and the other person to operate the OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand-held tester.
