2006 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER sensor

151
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the low tire pressure warning light
blinks, it indicates a system malfunc-
tion. Contact your Toyota dealer.
The system will be disabled in the condi-
tions below:
Electric devices or facilities using simi-
lar radio wave frequencies are nearby.
If a radio set at similar frequencies is
in use.
Much snowflakes or ice gets on the
vehicle, in particular, around the wheels
or wheel housings.
Non−genuine Toyota wheels are used.
Snow tires or tire chains are used.
The sensor battery is expired.
The tires not equipped with tire pres-
sure sensor are used.
Radio waves from the air pressure sen-
sor installed on the spare tire cannot
be received.
Although the tires are equipped with
tire pressure sensors, the selector
switch (see page 154) is set to other
tire setting.
NOTICE
 The use of nongenuine wheels will
cause the tire pressure sensors to
transmit the electronic code in dif-
ferent manner, resulting in the fail-
ure of the system.
 The use of tires other than origi-
nally installed with genuine wheels
may also cause the malfunction of
the system.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
NOTICE:
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruc-
tions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is en-
couraged to try to correct the interfer-
ence by one or more of the following
measures:

152
Reorient or relocate the receiving an-
tenna.
Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio / TV technician for help.
FCC WARNING:
Changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party respon-
sible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equip-
ment.
—Replacing tires and wheels
As you might have difficulty in locating
a flat or deflated tire, a tire pressure
warning system should be installed on
the tires of this vehicle.
When replacing the wheels, be sure to
install tire pressure sensors on the
wheels.
There are 3 ways to set up the tire pres-
sure sensors: a. Remove the sensor from the old wheel and install it to the new wheel.
b. Keep the same wheel with tire pres- sure sensor and replace the tire alone.
c. Use a new wheel and sensor.
You have to register an ID code for a
new sensor. Up to 2 sets of codes
can be registered. As one ID for the
originally installed sensor is registered
at “MAIN” of the selector switch, use
the “2nd” position to register an ID for
the new sensor.
You do not need to re −register the ID
code for any other replacements. For
the use of the originally installed tires,
put the selector switch at “MAIN” and
for the use of tires set purchased later,
put the switch at “2nd”. For the sen-
sor selector switch, see page 154.NOTICE
 Have the tires, wheels or sensors
replaced and ID codes registered by
Toyota dealer. If you need sensors,
purchase from Toyota dealer.
 The sensor nuts should always be
tightened to a torque of 4 N·m (0.4
kgf·m, 2.9 ft·lbf).
 The use of nongenuine wheels will
cause the tire pressure sensors to
transmit the electronic code in dif-
ferent manner, resulting in the fail-
ure of the system.
 Initialization should be performed
with the tires adjusted with the
tires adjusted at the specified set
tire inflation pressure. If they are
not adjusted properly, tire inflation
pressure to be warned will not be
appropriate. It takes about 20 min-
utes for initialization. Leave the
ignition on for about 20 minutes
after initialization.

154
If the low tire pressure warning light does
not blink when you push and hold the
reset switch, have the tire pressure warn-
ing system checked at your Toyota dealer.
NOTICE
Do not turn the engine switch off
during initialization, or the system
may not function properly due to
incomplete initialization.
 Check which tires are being used
before initialization of the system,
and also check the selector switch
position. (See the following “Selec-
tor switch”.)
—Selector switch
16C524a
1. Main position
2. 2nd position
The selector switch is located in the
glove box.
The ID code is given in the tire pres-
sure sensor. To activate the tire pres-
sure warning system, it is necessary to
register the ID code of the sensor on
the selector switch in the vehicle.
2 sets of ID codes can be registered.
The code of the tires originally installed
on the vehicle is registered on the switch
at “MAIN”. Have a new tires set with
new tire pressure sensors registered at
“2nd” by Toyota dealer. ID codes should be registered by Toyota
dealer. Once registered, change the set-
ting position each time you purchase tires
and wheels. Re
−registration is not re-
quired.
When purchasing new tires, consult your
Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
When the tires whose ID code is
registered at “MAIN” are used, the
system does not work properly with
the selector switch set at “2nd”. If
the tires whose ID code is registered
at “2nd” are stored nearby, the sys-
tem will detect their tire inflation
pressure (and vice versa).

CAUTION
Do not overestimate the antilock
brake system: Although the antilock
brake system assists in providing ve-
hicle control, it is still important to
drive with all due care and maintain
a moderate speed and safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you, be-
cause there are limits to the vehicle
stability and effectiveness of steering
wheel operation even with the anti
lock brake system on.
If tire grip performance exceeds its
capability, or if hydroplaning occurs
during high speed driving in the rain,
the antilock brake system does not
provide vehicle control.
Antilock brake system is not de-
signed to shorten the stopping dis-
tance: Always drive at a moderate
speed and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you.
Compared with vehicles without an
antilock brake system, your vehicle
may require a longer stopping dis-
tance in the following cases:
Driving on rough, gravel or snow
covered roads.
Driving with tire chains installed.
Driving over the steps such as the
joints on the road.
Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has other differ-
ences in surface height.
Install all 4 tires of specified size at
appropriate pressure: The antilock
brake system detects vehicle speeds
using the speed sensors for respec-
tive wheels’ turning speeds. The use
of tires other than specified may fail
to detect the accurate turning speed,
resulting in a longer stopping dis-
tance.
“ABS” warning light
The light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position. If
the antilock brake system and the
brake assist system work properly, the
light turns off after a few seconds.
Thereafter, if either of the systems mal-
functions, the light comes on.
