129
When the “VSC/TRAC” warning light and
“VSC OFF” indicator light come on, the
vehicle stability control system and/or ac-
tive traction control system are not operat-
ing, but there is no problem if you contin-
ue to drive.
(n) 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 “ACC” or
“LOCK” position.
CHECKING SERVICE REMINDER INDICA-
TORS (except the low fuel level warning
light)1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Open one of the side doors or back door.
The open door warning light should
come on.
3. Close the door. The open door warning light should go
off. 4. Place the four
−wheel drive control lever
in “N” position and the selector lever
in “P” position and turn the ignition key
to “ACC”.
The “A/T P” should come on. It goes
off when you place the four −wheel
drive control lever in “H” or “L” posi-
tion.
5. Turn the ignition key to “ON”, but do not start the engine.
All the service reminder indicators ex-
cept the open door warning light should

light go off after a few seconds. The
SRS warning light goes off after about
6 seconds.
There may be the case that the “ABS”,
“VSC/TRAC” and “VSC OFF” stay on
for about 60 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to “ON” position. It is
normal if they go out after a while.

ing buzzer does not function as described
above, have it checked by your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.

288
Some states have vehicle emission in-
spection programs which include OBD
(On−Board Diagnostics) che cks.
The OBD system monitors the operation
of the emission control system. When the
OBD system determines that a problem
exists somewhere in the emission control
system, the malfunction indicator lamp
comes on. In this case, your vehicle may
not pass the I/M test and need to be
repaired. Contact your Toyota dealer to
service the vehicle.
Even if the malfunction indicator lamp
does not come on, your vehicle may not
pass the I/M test as readiness codes
have not been set in the OBD system.
Readiness codes are automatically set
during ordinary driving. However, when the
battery is disconnected or run down, the
codes are erased. Also, depending on
your driving habits, the codes may not be
completely set.
Also, if the malfunction indicator lamp had
come on recently due to temporary mal-
function such as a loose fuel tank cap,
your vehicle may not pass the I/M test. The malfunction indicator lamp will go off
after taking several driving trips, but the
error code in the OBD system will not be
cleared unless about 40 trips or more are
taken.
If your vehicle does not pass the I/M test
even the malfunction indicator lamp does
not come on, contact your Toyota dealer
to prepare the vehicle for re
−testing.
