(k) Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting the
vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the vehicle at the prop-
er locations (See page IN±8).
Cancel the parking brake on the level place and
shift the transmission in N position.
When jacking up the front wheels of the vehicle, first
place stoppers behind the rear wheels.
When jacking up the rear wheels of the vehicle, first
place stoppers before the front wheels.
When either the front or rear wheels only should be
jacked up, set rigid racks and place stoppers in front
and behind of the other wheels on the ground.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it
on rigid racks. It is extremely dangerous to do any
work on a vehicle raised on a jack, even for a job that
can be finished quickly.
(l) Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to the
following parts:
(1) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU unless
absolutely necessary. (If the IC terminals are
touched, the IC may be destroyed by static electric-
ity.)
(2) To disconnect vacuum hoses, pull off the end, not
the middle of the hose.
(3) To pull apart electrical connectors, pull on the con-
nector itself, not the wires.
(4) Be careful not to drop electrical components, such
as sensors or relays. If they are dropped on a hard
floor, they should be replaced and not reused.
(5) When steam cleaning an engine, protect the elec-
tronic components, air filter and emission±related
components from water.
(6) Never use an impact wrench to remove or install
temperature switches or temperature sensors.

does not deploy, the steering wheel pad, the pas-
senger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly, cur-
tain shield airbag assembly, seat belt pretensioner,
airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensor, side
airbag sensor assembly and curtain shield airbag
sensor assembly should be inspected.

(4) Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When
replacing parts, replace them with new ones.
(5) Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor because
shocks are likely to be applied to the sensor during
repairs.
(6) Never disassemble or repair the steering wheel
pad, front passenger airbag assembly, airbag sen-
sor assembly and front airbag sensor.
(7) If the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag
assembly, side airbag assembly, curtain shield air-
bag assembly, seat belt pretensioner, airbag sensor
assembly and front airbag sensor have been
dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or other de-
fects in the case, bracket or connector, replace
them with new ones.
(8) Do not expose the steering wheel pad, front pas-
senger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly, cur-
tain shield airbag assembly, seat belt pretensioner,
airbag sensor assembly and front airbag sensor di-
rectly to hot air or flames.
(9) Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kW/V
minimum) for troubleshooting of the electrical cir-
cuit.
(10) Information labels are attached to the periphery of
the SRS components. Follow the instructions on the
notices.
(11) After work on the supplemental restraint system is
completed, check the SRS warning light (See page
DI±1118).

(i) AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
(1) Never reuse the airbag sensor assembly involved
in a collision when the SRS has deployed.
(2) The connectors to the airbag sensor assembly
should be connected or disconnected with the sen-
sor mounted on the floor. If the connectors are con-
nected or disconnected while the airbag sensor as-
sembly is not mounted to the floor, it could cause
undesired ignition of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem.
(3) Work must be started after 90 seconds from the
time the ignition switch is turned to the ºLOCKº posi-
tion and the negative (±) terminal cable is discon-
nected from the battery, even if only loosening the
set bolts of the airbag sensor assembly.
(j) WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
The SRS wire harness is integrated with the cowl wire har-
ness assembly and floor wire harness assembly. All the
connectors for the system are also a standard yellow col-
or. If the SRS wire harness becomes disconnected or the
connector becomes broken due to an accident, etc., re-
pair or replace it.
2. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH VEHICLE SKID
CONTROL (VSC) SYSTEM
NOTICE:

Even if TRAC is initially OFF, it automatically be-
comes ON when the vehicle speed becomes about 30
km/h (19 mh) or more. Therefore, please drive in the
test mode to avoid dangerous situations caused by
the TRAC control.

VSC/ABS may be failed when the vehicle is driven on
the two±wheel chassis dynamo. Therefore, after driv-
ing on the chassis dynamo, please clear DTC before
normal driving. Please refer to the page DI±899 for the
method of clearing DTC.

(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.

2. SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
The diagnostic system in the SEQUOIA fulfills various functions. The first function is the Diagnostic Trouble
Code Check in which a malfunction in the signal circuits to the ECU is stored in code in the ECU memory
at the time of occurrence, to be output by the technician during troubleshooting. Another function is the Input
Signal Check which checks if the signals from various switches are sent to the ECU correctly.
By using these check functions, the problem areas can be narrowed down quickly and troubleshooting can
be performed effectively. Diagnostic functions are incorporated in the following systems in the SEQUOIA.

In diagnostic trouble code check, it is very important to determine whether the problem indicated by the diag-
nostic trouble code is still occurring or occurred in the past but returned to normal at present. In addition,
it must be checked in the problem symptom check whether the malfunction indicated by the diagnostic
trouble code is directly related to the problem symptom or not. For this reason, the diagnostic trouble codes
should be checked before and after the symptom confirmation to determine the current conditions, as shown
in the table on the next page. If this is not done, it may, depending on the case, result in unnecessary trouble-
shooting for normally operating systems, thus making it more difficult to locate the problem, or in repairs not
pertinent to the problem. Therefore, always follow the procedure in correct order and perform the diagnostic
trouble code check.

3. SYMPTOM SIMULATION
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when there are no problem symptoms occurring. In such cases,
a thorough customer problem analysis must be carried out, then simulate the same or similar conditions and
environment in which the problem occurred in the customer's vehicle. No matter how much experience a
technician has, or how skilled he may be, if he proceeds to troubleshoot without confirming the problem
symptoms he will tend to overlook something important in the repair operation and make a wrong guess
somewhere, which will only lead to a standstill. For example, for a problem which only occurs when the en-
gine is cold, or for a problem which occurs due to vibration caused by the road during driving, etc., the prob-
lem can never be determined so long as the symptoms are confirmed with the engine hot or the vehicle at
a standstill. Since vibration, heat or water penetration (moisture) is likely cause for problem which is difficult
to reproduce, the symptom simulation tests introduced here are effective measures in that the external
causes are applied to the vehicle in a stopped condition.
Important Points in the Symptom Simulation Test:
In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms should be confirmed, but the problem area or parts
must also be found out. To do this, narrow down the possible problem circuits according to the symptoms
before starting this test and connect a tester beforehand. After that, carry out the symptom simulation test,
judging whether the circuit being tested is defective or normal and also confirming the problem symptoms
at the same time. Refer to the problem symptoms table for each system to narrow down the possible causes
of the symptom.
