2005 HIGHLANDER from Nov. '04 Prod. (OM48570U)
RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED
Push the lever up in the + RESº direction
and hold it. Release the lever when the
desired speed is attained. While the lever
is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain
speed.
However, a faster way to reset is to ac-
celerate the vehicle and then push the
lever down in the - SETº direction.
RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED
Push the lever down in the - SETº direc-
tion and hold it. Release the lever when
the desired speed is attained. While the
lever is held down, the vehicle speed will
gradually decrease.
However, a faster way to reset is to de-
press the brake pedal and then push the
lever down in the - SETº direction.
Even if you turn off the overdrive switch
with the cruise control on, engine braking
will not be applied because the cruise
control is not cancelled. To decrease the
vehicle speed, reset to a slower speed
with the cruise control lever or depress
the brake pedal. If you use the brake
pedal, cruise control is cancelled.RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED
If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling
the control lever or by depressing the
brake pedal, pushing the lever up in the
+ RESº direction will restore the speed
set prior to cancellation.
However, once the vehicle speed falls be-
low about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset
speed will not be resumed.
CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING
If the CRUISEº indicator light in the
instrument cluster flashes when using the
cruise control, press the ON- OFFº switch
to turn the system off and then press it
again to turn it on.
If any of the following conditions then oc-
curs, there is some trouble in the cruise
control system.
The indicator light does not come on.
The indicator light flashes again.
The indicator light goes out after it
comes on.
If this is the case, contact your Toyota
dealer and have your vehicle inspected.

With the ignition SW turned on, the current flows to TERMINAL (A) 5 of the body ECU through IG1 fuse.
Voltage is applied at all times to TERMINAL (A) 7 of the body ECU through the TAILLIGHT relay. Coil side, and to
TERMINAL (C) 3 through the HEAD LAMP relay coil side (w/o daytime running light) or through the DRL NO.2 relay (w/
daytime running light).
1. Normal Lighting Operation

With the light control SW turned to TAIL position, a signal is input into TERMINAL (B) 18 of the body ECU. Due to this signal,
the current flowing to TERMINAL (A) 7 of the body ECU flows to TERMINAL (B) 18 to TERMINAL 14 of the light control SW
to TERMINAL 16 to GROUND, and TAILLIGHT relay causes taillights to turn on.

With the light control SW turned to HEAD position, a signal is input into TERMINALS (B) 17 and (B) 18 of the body ECU. Due
to this signal, the current flowing to TERMINAL (C) 3 of the body ECU flows to TERMINAL (B) 17 to TERMINAL 13 of the
light control SW to TERMINAL 16 to GROUND in the headlight circuit, and causes TAILLIGHT and HEAD LAMP (w/o
daytime running light) or DRL NO.2 relay (w/ daytime running light) to turn the lights on. The taillight circuit is same as above.
2. Light Auto Turn Off Operation
With light on and ignition SW turned off (Input signal goes to TERMINAL (A) 5 of the body ECU), when the driver's door is
opened (Input signal goes to TERMINAL (C) 11 of the body ECU), the ECU operates and the current is cut off which flows
from TERMINAL (A) 7 of the body ECU to TERMINAL (B) 18 in taillight circuit and from TERMINAL (C) 3 to TERMINAL (B)
17 in headlight circuit.
As a result, all lights are turned off automatically.

SRS
NOTICE: When inspecting or repairing the SRS, perform service in accordance with the following precautionary instructions
and the procedure, and precautions in the Repair Manual applicable for the model year.

Malfunction symptoms of the SRS are difficult to confirm, so the DTCs become the most important source of information
when troubleshooting. When troubleshooting the SRS, always inspect the DTCs before disconnecting the battery.

Work must be started more than 90 seconds after the ignition SW is turned to the ºLOCKº position and the
negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.
(The SRS is equipped with a back-up power source so that if work is started within 90 seconds from
disconnecting the negative (-) terminal cable of the battery, the SRS may deploy.)

When the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the memory of the clock and audio system will be
cleared. So before starting work, make a record of the contents in the audio memory system. When work is finished,
reset the audio systems as they were before and adjust the clock. Some vehicles have power tilt steering, power
telescopic steering, power seat and power outside rear view mirror which are all equipped with memory function.
However, it is not possible to make a record of these memory contents. So when the work is finished, it will be
necessary to explain it to your customer, and ask the customer to adjust the features and reset the memory. To avoid
erasing the memory in each system, never use a back-up power supply from outside the vehicle.

Before repair, remove the airbag sensor if shocks are likely to be applied to the sensor during repair.

Do not expose the following parts directly to hot air or flame;

Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, the following parts should be inspected;

Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace with new parts.

For the purpose of reuse, never disassemble and repair the following parts.

If the following parts have been dropped, or have cracks, dents and other defects in their case, bracket, and connector,
replace with new one.

Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kW/V minimum) for troubleshooting electrical circuits of the system.

Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the instructions of the notice.

After work on the SRS is completed, check the SRS warning light.

If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the precaution in the IN section of the Repair
Manual.

VSC and Tire Pressure Warning System
1. ABS Operation
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the ABS controls the hydraulic pressure of the wheel cylinders for all the four
wheels to automatically avoid wheel locking and ensure the directional and steering stability of the vehicle. If the brake pedal
is depressed suddenly, the skid control ECU with actuator controls the solenoids in the actuators using the signals from the
sensors to move the brake fluid to the reservoir in order to release the braking pressure applied to the wheel cylinder. If the
skid control ECU with actuator detects that the fluid pressure in the wheel cylinder is insufficient, the ECU controls the
solenoids in the actuators to increase the braking pressure.
2. Traction Control Operation
The traction control system controls the engine torque, the hydraulic pressure of the driving wheel cylinders, slipping of the
wheels which may occur at start or acceleration of the vehicle, to ensure an optimal driving power and vehicle stability
corresponding to the road conditions.
3. VSC Operation
Unexpected road conditions, vehicle speed, emergency situation, and any other external factors may cause large under- or
over-steering of the vehicle. If this occurs, the VSC system automatically controls the engine power and wheel brakes to
reduce the under- or over-steering.
To reduce large over-steering :
If the VSC system determines that the over-steering is large, it activates the brakes for the outer front turning wheels
depending on the degree of the over-steering to produce the moment toward the outside of the vehicle and reduce the
over-steering.
To reduce large under-steering :
If the VSC system determines that the under-steering is large, it controls the engine power and activates the rear wheel
brakes to reduce the under-steering.
VSC indicator light
If an mulfunction occurs in the VSC system, the VSC indicator lights up to warn the driver.
4. Mutual System Control
To efficiently operate the VSC system at its optimal level, the VSC system and other control systems are mutually controlled
while the VSC system is being operated.
Engine control
The engine power does not interfere with the VSC brake control by fuel cut controlling and reducing the engine output.
Engine control and electronically controlled transmission control
The strong braking force does not interfere with the braking force control of the VSC system by turning off the accel and
reducing changes in the driving torque at shift-down.
VSC system operation indication
The slip indicator light flashes and the buzzer alarm intermittently to warn the driver that the current road is slippery, while the
VSC system is being operated.
5. Fail Safe Function
If an mulfunction occurs in the skid control ECU with actuator, sensor signals, and/or actuators, the skid control ECU with
actuator inhibits the brake actuator control and inputs the mulfunction signal to the engine control module. According to the
mulfunction signal, the brake actuator turns off the solenoid and the engine control module rejects any electronically
controlled request from the VSC system. As a result, the vehicle functions without the ABS, BA, TRAC, and VSC systems.
