FRONT POWER SEAT CONTROL SYSTEM REFERENCE
1.RESTRICTION OF STEP MOTORS CONTINUOUS OPERATION
If the step motor is continuously operating for many hours, the step motor is forced to stop and the
"AUTO" indicator blinks. In this case, the step motor automatically restores after cooling for
approximately 7 minutes.

*: Bubbles in the sight glass with ambient temperature higher than usual can be considered normal if
cooling is sufficient.
NG: CHARGE REFRIGERANT (SEE ON
-VEHICLE INSPECTION )
OK: Go to next step
2.INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER (PRS, SG-5)
a. Remove the A/C amplifier with connector still connected.
b. Install the manifold gauge set (see ON
-VEHICLE INSPECTION ).
c. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
d. Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.
OK:
The voltage depends on the refrigerant pressure as shown in the chart.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1.CHECK COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
a. Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator cap tester.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1.CHECK COOLING FAN SYSTEM
a. Look at the chart below. Check that when the cooling fan is in the condition on the left, its
operation is what is written on the right.
Standard when engine coolant temperature is below 82°C (180°F):
CONDITION AND OPERATION SPECIFICATION
If the fan does not operate as specified, proceed to next step.
2.INSPECT COOLING FAN MOTOR
a. Remove the air cleaner inlet No. 1.
b. Disconnect the 2 connectors.
c. Connect the battery and ammeter.
d. Check that the fan rotates smoothly, and then check the amperage on the ammeter.
Standard: 9.2 to 11.0 A at 20° C (68° F)
If the result is not as specified, replace the fan motor.
If the fan operates, proceed to the next step.
ConditionOperation (Fan Speed)
Ignition ON at engine stoppingNot rotating
A/C switch OFF at idle speedNot rotating
A/C switch ON at idle speedRotating (Low speed)
Disconnect ECT sensor connector at idle speedRotating (High speed)

3.INSPECT COOLING FAN ECU WIRE HARNESS
a. Remove the air cleaner inlet No. 1.
b. Disconnect the 2 connectors.
c. Inspect the connector on the wire harness side.
d. Measure the voltage between terminals 1 and 3.
Standard: 9 to 14 V
If the result is not as specified, check the fuse, relay and wire harness.
If the result is as specified, replace the fan ECU.

c. Close the radiator drain plug.
d. Tighten the 2 drain cock plugs.
Torque: 13 Nm (130 kgf cm, 9 ft lbf)

4.ADD ENGINE COOLANT
a. Slowly fill the cooling system with coolant.
Capacity: 9.5 liters (10.0 US qts, 8.4 lmp. qts)
HINT:
Use of improper coolants may damage the engine cooling system.
Use "TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant" or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-
silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid
technology.
New Toyota vehicles are filled with TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (color is pink,
premixed ethylene-glycol concentration is approximately 50 % and freezing temperature is -
35° C (-31° F)). When replacing coolant, TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant is
