6. After the engine coolant temperature
has cooled to normal, again check the
coolant level in the reservoir. If neces-
sary, bring it up to half full again. Seri-
ous coolant loss indicates a leak in the
system. You should have it checked as
soon as possible at your Toyota dealer.1. Reduce your speed gradually,
keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place
well away from the traffic. Avoid
stopping on the center divider of
a highway. Park on a level spot
with firm ground.
2. Stop the engine and turn on your
emergency flashers.
3. Firmly set the parking brake and
put the transmission in Pº.
4. Have everyone get out of the ve-
hicle on the side away from traffic.
5. Read the following instructions
thoroughly.CAUTION
When jacking, be sure to observe
the following to reduce the possi-
bility of personal injury:
Follow jacking instructions.
Do not put any part of your
body under the vehicle sup-
ported by the jack. Otherwise,
personal injury may occur.
Do not start or run the engine
while your vehicle is supported
by the jack.
Stop the vehicle on a level firm
ground, firmly set the parking
brake and put the transmission
in Pº. Block the wheel diago-
nally opposite to the one being

A transponder chip for engine immobilizer
system has been placed in the head of
the master and sub keys. These chips are
needed to enable the system to function
correctly, so be careful not to lose these
keys. If you make your own duplicate key,
you will not be able to cancel the system
or start the engine.
To protect items locked in the glove box
when using valet parking, leave the sub
key with the attendant.
Since the side doors can be locked with-
out a key, you should always carry a
spare key in case you accidentally lock
your keys inside the vehicle.
NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans-
ponder chip, observe the following
precautions:
When starting the engine, do not
use the key with a key ring resting
on the key grip and do not press
the key ring against the key grip.
Otherwise the engine may not start,
or may stop soon after it starts.
When starting the engine, do not
use the key with other transponder
keys around (including keys of oth-
er vehicles) and do not press other
key plates against the key grip.
Otherwise the engine may not start,
or may stop soon after it starts. If
this happens, remove the key once
and then insert it again after remov-
ing other transponder keys (includ-
ing keys of other vehicles) from the
ring or while gripping or covering
them with your hand to start the
engine.

Engine Control for 3MZ-FE
The engine control system utilizes a microcomputer and maintains overall control of the engine, transmission etc. An outline
of the engine control is given here.
1. Input Signals
(1) Engine coolant temp. signal circuit
The engine coolant temp. sensor detects the engine coolant temp. and has a built-in thermistor with a resistance, which
varies according to the engine coolant temp. The engine coolant temp. which is input into TERMINAL THW of the
engine control module as a control signal.
(2) Intake air temp. signal circuit
The intake air temp. sensor is installed in the mass air flow meter and detects the intake air temp. which is input as a
control signal to TERMINAL THA of the engine control module.
(3) Vehicle speed signal circuit
The vehicle speed signal is input from the ABS speed sensor to skid control ECU with actuator, and are sent to the
engine control module through communication control.
(4) RPM signal circuit
Camshaft position is detected by the VVT sensors and its signal is input to TERMINALS VV1+ and VV2+ of the engine
control module as a control signal. Also, engine RPM is detected by the crankshaft position sensor and is input as a
control signal to TERMINAL NE+.
(5) Throttle position signal circuit
The throttle control motor and sensor detects the throttle valve opening angle as a control signal, which is input into
TERMINALS VTA1 and VTA2 of the engine control module.
(6) Battery signal circuit
Voltage is constantly applied to TERMINAL BATT of the engine control module. With the ignition SW turned on, the
voltage for engine control module start-up power supply is applied to TERMINALS +B and +B2 of the engine control
module via the EFI relay.
The current flowing through the IGN fuse flows to TERMINAL IGSW of the engine control module.
(7) Intake air volume signal circuit
Intake air volume is detected by the mass air flow meter and the signal is input to TERMINAL VG of the engine control
module as a control signal.
(8) Stop light SW signal circuit
The stop light SW is used to detect whether the vehicle is braking or not and the signal is input into TERMINAL STP of
the engine control module as a control signal.
(9) Starter signal circuit
To confirm whether the engine is cranking, the voltage is applied to the starter motor during cranking is detected and the
signal is input into TERMINAL STA of the engine control module as a control signal.
(10) Engine knock signal circuit
Engine knocking is detected by knock sensors and the signal is input into TERMINALS KNK1 and KNK2 as a control
signal.
(11) Air fuel ration signal circuit
The air fuel ration is detected and input as a control signal into TERMINALS A1A+ and A2A+ of the engine control
module.
(12) Oxygen sensor signal circuit
The oxygen density in the exhaust gases is detected and input as a control signal into TERMINALS OX1B and OX2B of
the engine control module.
To maintain stable detection performance by the heated oxygen sensor, a heater is used for warning the sensor. The
heater is also controlled by the engine control module (HT1B and HT2B).
(13) Fuel cut in a collision
The system receives the collision signal from airbag sensor assembly in the vehicle has a collision and stops the fuel
pump operation on the side of the engine control module.
