COMPRESSION
INSPECTION
HINT:
If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel
economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. WARM UP AND STOP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS (See page IG±1)
3. CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE
(a) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
(b) Fully open the throttle.
(c) While cranking the engine, measure the compression
pressure.
HINT:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine speed of
250 rpm or more.
(d) Repeat steps (a) through (c) for each cylinder.
NOTICE:
This measurement must be done in as short a time as pos-
sible.
Compression pressure:
1,373 kPa (14.0 kgf/cm
2, 199 psi) or more
Minimum pressure:
1,030 kPa (10.5 kgf/cm
2, 149 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi) or less
(e) If the cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low,
pour small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through
the spark plug hole and repeat steps (a) through (c) for
cylinders with low compression.

If adding oil helps the compression, chances are
that the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn
or damaged.

If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating is improper, or there may be leakage past
the gasket.
4. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS (See page IG±1)

(f) Lay a strip of Plastigage across the crank pin.
(g) Install the connecting rod cap with the 2 bolts.
(see page EM±119)
NOTICE:
Do not turn the crankshaft.
(h) Remove the 2 bolts, connecting rod cap and lower bear-
ing. (See procedure (b) and (c) above)
(i) Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.
Standard oil clearance:
0.021 to 0.047 mm (0.0008 to 0.0019 in.)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.059 mm (0.0023 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the bear-
ings. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
HINT:
If using a standard bearing, replace it with one having the same
number. If the number of the bearing cannot be determined, se-
lect the correct bearing by adding together the numbers im-
printed on the connecting rod cap and crankshaft, then select-
ing the bearing with the same number as the total. There are 6
sizes of standard bearings, marked º2º, º3º, º4º, º5º, º6º and º7º.

(l) Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the tire pressure of
one or more of your tires (including the
spare tire) is low. The light comes on
when the ignition key is turned to the
ªONº position. It goes off after a few sec-
onds. This indicates that the tire pressure
warning system is functioning properly.
If the warning light comes on, stop your
vehicle in a safe place as soon as pos-
sible and check that the inflation pressure
of all tires (including the spare tire) is as
specified on the tire and loading informa-
tion label. (See ªChecking tire inflation
pressureº on page 429 in Section 7±2.)
The light should go off a few minutes after
the tire pressure is adjusted.
If the warning light blinks, the tire pres-
sure warning system may be malfunction-
ing. Contact your Toyota dealer.
For details, see ªTire pressure warning
systemº on page 198 in Section 1±7.
(m) Low Windshield Washer Fluid Level
Warning Light
This light warns that the windshield wash-
er fluid level is too low. Add washer fluid
at your earliest opportunity. (For instruc-
tions, see ªAdding washer fluidº on page
444 in Section 7±3.)(n) Engine Oil Replacement Reminder
Light (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.)
This light acts as a reminder to replace
the engine oil.
This light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to ªONº and will go off after
about a few seconds.
When you drive for about 7200 km (4500
miles) after the engine oil replacement,
this light illuminates for about 3 seconds
and then flashes for about 12 seconds
with the ignition key turned to the ªONº
position. If you continue driving without
replacing the engine oil, and if the dis-
tance driven exceeds 8000 km (5000
miles), the light will come on after the
ignition key is turned to ªONº position.
The light will remain on thereafter.
If the light is flashing, we recommend that
you replace the engine oil at an early
opportunity depending on the driving and
road conditions. If the light comes on,
replace it as soon as possible.The system must be reset after the en-
gine oil replacement. Reset the system by
the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition key to the ªACCº or
ªLOCKº position with the odometer
reading shown. (For details, see
ªOdometer and two trip metersº on
page 160 in this Section.)
2. Turn the ignition key to the ªONº posi-
tion while holding down the trip meter
reset knob.
Hold down the knob for at least 5 sec-
onds. The odometer indicates ª000000º
and the light goes off.
If the system fails to reset, the light will
continue flashing.
(o) Key Reminder Buzzer
This buzzer acts as a reminder to remove
the key when you open the driver's door
with the ignition key in the ªACCº or
ªLOCKº position.

NOTICE

Remember that battery and ignition
cables carry high currents or volt-
ages. Be careful of accidentally
causing a short circuit.

Add only ªToyota Super Long Life
Coolantº or similar high quality eth-
ylene glycol based non±silicate,
non±amine, non±nitrite, and non±bo-
rate coolant with long±life hybrid
organic acid technology to fill the
radiator. ªToyota Super Long Life
Coolantº is a mixture of 50% cool-
ant and 50% deionized water (for
the U.S.A.) or 55% coolant and 45%
deionized water (for Canada).

If you spill some of the coolant, be
sure to wash it off with water to
prevent it from damaging the parts
or paint.

Do not allow dirt or anything else
to fall through the spark plug holes.

Use only spark plugs of the speci-
fied type. Using other types will
cause engine damage, loss of per-
formance or radio noise.

Do not reuse iridium±tipped spark
plugs by cleaning or regapping.

Do not overfill automatic transmis-
sion fluid, or the transmission
could be damaged.

Do not drive with the air cleaner
filter removed, or excessive engine
wear could result. Also backfiring
could cause a fire in the engine
compartment.

Be careful not to scratch the glass
surface with the wiper frame.

When closing the engine hood,
check to see that you have not for-
gotten any tools, rags, etc.
Here is a list of parts and tools you will
need to perform do±it±yourself mainte-
nance. Remember all Toyota parts are de-
signed in metric sizes, so your tools must
be metric.
CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Parts (if level is low):

ªToyota Genuine Motor Oilº or equiva-
lent
See page 425 in Section 7±2 for de-
tails about engine oil selection.

Full level
Add oil O.K. Too fullLow level
With the engine at operating tempera-
ture and turned off, check the oil level
on the dipstick.
1. To get a correct reading, the vehicle
should be on level ground. After turning
off the engine, wait a few minutes for
the oil to drain back into the bottom of
the engine.
2. Pull the dipstick out, hold a rag under
the end and wipe it clean.
3. Reinsert the dipstickÐpush it in as far
as it will go, or the reading will not be
correct.
4. Pull the dipstick out and look at the oil
level while holding a rag under the
end.
CAUTION
Be careful not to touch the hot ex-
haust manifold.
NOTICE
Be careful not to drop engine oil on
the vehicle components.
If the oil level is below or only slightly
above the low level, add engine oil of
the same type as already in the engine.
Remove the oil filler cap and add engine
oil in small quantities at a time, checking
the dipstick. We recommend that you use
a funnel when adding oil.
The approximate quantity of oil needed to
raise the level between low and full on the
dipstick is indicated below for reference.
When the level reaches within the correct
range, install the filler cap hand±tight.
Oil quantity, L (qt., Imp. qt.):
1.5 (1.6, 1.3)
NOTICE

Be careful not to spill engine oil on
the vehicle components.

Avoid overfilling, or the engine
could be damaged.

Check the oil level on the dipstick
once again after adding the oil.
