(4) Check that the VSC TRAC warning light blinks.
(5) After the measurement, remove the SST and re-
start the engine. At this time, make sure that the
VSC TRAC warning light is off.
(b) Notice in VSC operation.
(1) Removal and reinstallation of VSC±related compo-
nents may cause misadjustment of them. Do not re-
move or reinstall them unless necessary.
(2) When conducting VSC±related operations, do not
fail to make sure that the preparation and the finish-
ing of the operation are all performed in accordance
with the direction in this text.
3. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION:
If a 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.
4. 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 sensor locations, refer to the section on
the applicable component.
(3) Do not wind the antenna feeder together with the other wiring as much as possible, also avoid
running the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harness.
(4) Check that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
(5) Do not install powerful mobile communication system.

ROAD TEST
1. PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Based on the result of the customer problem analysis, try to reproduce the symptoms. If the problem is that
the transaxle does not shift up, shift down, or the shift point is too high or too low, conduct the following road
test referring to the automatic shift schedule and simulate the problem symptoms.
2. ROAD TEST

(122 to 176°F).
(a) D position test:
Shift into the D position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points. Check
up±shift operation.
(1) Check up±shift operation.
Check that 1 " 2, 2 " 3, 3 " 4 and 4 " 5th up±shifts take place, and that the shift points conform
to the automatic shift schedule (See page SS±24).
HINT:
5th Gear Up±shift Prohibition Control

Engine coolant temperature is 55 °C (131 °F) or less and vehicle speed is at 51 km/h (32 mph) or less.
4th Gear Up±shift Prohibition Control

Engine coolant temperature is 40 °C (104 °F) or less and vehicle speed is at 45 km/h (28 mph) or less.
5th Gear Lock±up Prohibition Control

Brake pedal is depressed.

Accelerator pedal is released.

Engine coolant temperature is 60 °C (140 °F) or less.
(2) Check for shift shock and slip.
Check for shock and slip at the 1 " 2, 2 " 3, 3 " 4 and 4 " 5th up±shifts.
(3) Check for abnormal noise and vibration.
Check for abnormal noise and vibration when up±shifting from 1 " 2, 2 " 3, 3 " 4 and 4 " 5
while driving with the shift lever in the D position, and check while driving in the lock±up condition.

Keep ice and snow from accumulating
under the fenders.
Ice and snow built up under your fenders
can make steering difficult. During bad
winter driving, stop and check under the
fenders occasionally.
Depending on where you are driving,
we recommend you carry some emer-
gency equipment.
Some of the things you might put in the
vehicle are tire chains, window scraper,
bag of sand or salt, flares, small shovel,
jumper cables, etc.
Your vehicle is not designed to be
dinghy towed (with four wheels on the
ground) behind a motorhome.
NOTICE
Do not tow your vehicle with four
wheels on the ground. This may
cause serious damage to your vehicle.
Your vehicle is designed primarily as a
passenger±and±load±carrying vehicle.
Towing a trailer will have an adverse
effect on handling, performance, braking,
durability and driving economy (fuel
consumption, etc.). Your safety and
satisfaction depend on the proper use of
correct equipment and cautious driving
habits. For your safety and the safety of
others, you must not overload your
vehicle or trailer. Ask your local Toyota
dealer for further details before towing.
CAUTION
Vehicles with rear height control air
suspension system: When disconnect-
ing a trailer, set the vehicle height to
ªLOº in automatic control mode, then
select manual control mode by push-
ing the mode select switch. Other-
wise, the vehicle height may change
because of the automatic leveling
function, resulting in an accident. For
details, see ªRear height control air
suspensionº on page 189 in Section
1±7.

To avoid serious personal injury and
damage to your vehicle which might re-
sult from battery explosion, acid burns,
electrical burns, or damaged electronic
components, these instructions must be
followed precisely.
If you are unsure about how to follow this
procedure, we strongly recommend that
you seek the help of a competent me-
chanic or towing service.
CAUTION

Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which is poisonous and corrosive.
Wear protective safety glasses when
jump starting, and avoid spilling
acid on your skin, clothing, or ve-
hicle.

If you should accidentally get acid
on yourself or in your eyes, remove
any contaminated clothing and flush
the affected area with water imme-
diately. Then get immediate medical
attention. If possible, continue to
apply water with a sponge or cloth
while en route to the medical office.

The gas normally produced by a
battery will explode if a flame or
spark is brought near. Use only
standardized jumper cables and do
not smoke or light a match while
jump starting.
NOTICE
The battery used for boosting must
be 12 V. Do not jump start unless you
are sure that the booster battery is
correct.
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
1. If the booster battery is installed in
another vehicle, make sure the vehicles
are not touching. Turn off all unneces-
sary lights and accessories.
When boosting, use the battery of
matching or higher quality. Any other
battery may be difficult to jump start
with.
If jump starting is difficult, charge the
battery for several minutes.
2. If required, remove all the vent plugs
from the booster and discharged batter-
ies. Lay a cloth over the open vents
on the batteries. (This helps reduce the
explosion hazard, personal injuries and
burns.)
3. If the engine in the vehicle with the
booster battery is not running, start it
and let it run for a few minutes. During
jump starting run the engine at about
2000 rpm with the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed.

5. Charge the discharged battery with the
jumper cables connected for approxi-
mately 5 minutes. At this time, run the
engine in the vehicle with the booster
battery at about 2000 rpm with the ac-
celerator pedal lightly depressed.
6. Start your engine in the normal way.
After starting, run it at about 2000 rpm
for several minutes with the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed.
7. Carefully disconnect the cables in the
exact reverse order: the negative cable
and then the positive cable.
8. Carefully dispose of the battery cover
clothsÐthey may now contain sulfuric
acid.
9. If removed, replace all the battery vent
plugs.
If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent (for example, lights left on),
you should have it checked at your Toyota
dealer.If the first start attempt is not success-
ful...
Check that the clamp on the jumper
cables are tight. Recharge the discharged
battery with the jumper cables connected
for several minutes and restart your en-
gine in the normal way.
If the another attempt is not successful,
the battery may be depleted. Have it ch-
ecked at any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.If your engine stalls while driving...
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Turn the ignition key to ªACCº or
ªLOCKº, and try starting the engine
again.
If the engine will not start, see ªIf your
vehicle will not startº on page 382 in this
Section.
CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the pow-
er assist for the brakes and steering
will not work so steering and braking
will be much harder than usual.
