Wiring Diagram
2. Generator Pulley
A helical coil type one-way clutch is used on the generator pulley in order to reduce the load that acts on
the auxiliary equipment belt.
The pulley mounting nut and the generator pulley have been integrated to achieve a compact construction.

SERPENTINE BELT DRIVE SYSTEM
1. General
Accessory components are driven by a serpentine belt consisting of a single V-ribbed belt. It reduces the
overall engine length, weight and the number of engine parts.
An automatic tensioner eliminates the need for tension adjustment.
2. Automatic Tensioner
The automatic tensioner consists of an idler pulley and a tensioner. The idler pulley maintains belt tension
by the force of the spring that is located in the tensioner.

2. Dual Winding System (For Towing Package Models and Models with RSES)
A dual winding system is used. This system consists of two sets of three-phase windings whose phases are
staggered 30
. Because the generated waves from the respective windings cancel out each other, magnetic
noise is reduced.
3. Generator Pulley
A one-way clutch is set to the generator pulley. Operation of the one-way clutch cancels generator pulley
inertia and helps to prevent slipping of the V-ribbed belt. This realizes a low tension V-ribbed belt that
achieves reduced friction.

STARTING SYSTEM
The 2GR-FE engine uses the same starter as the 2AZ-FE engine. For details, see page EG-27.
SERPENTINE BELT DRIVE SYSTEM
1. General
Accessory components are driven by a serpentine belt consisting of a single V-ribbed belt. It reduces the
overall engine length, weight and the number of engine parts.
An automatic tensioner eliminates the need for tension adjustment.
2. Automatic Tensioner
The tension of the V-ribbed belt is properly maintained by the tension spring that is enclosed in the automatic
tensioner.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
(2006/01- )
1. GENERAL NOTES
• Maintenance requirements vary depending on the
country.
• Check the maintenance schedule in the owner's
manual supplement.
• Following the maintenance schedule is mandatory.
• Determine the appropriate time to service the vehicle
using either miles driven or time elapsed, whichever
reaches the specification first.
• Maintain similar intervals between periodic
maintenance, unless otherwise noted.
• Failing to check each vehicle part could lead to poor
engine performance and increase exhaust emissions.
2. WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
(a) Check that there is sufficient fluid in the tank.
3. ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
(a) Check that the coolant level is between the "FULL"
and "LOW" lines on the see-through reservoir.
4. RADIATOR AND HOSES
(a) Check that the front of the radiator is clean and not
blocked by leaves, dirt or bugs.
(b) Check the hoses for cracks, kinks, rot or loose
connections.
5. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
(a) Check that the electrolyte level of all the battery
cells is between the upper and lower level lines on
the case.
HINT:
If the electrolyte level is difficult to see, lightly shake
the vehicle.
6. BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
(a) Check that the brake fluid levels are near the upper
level lines on the see-through reservoirs.
7. ENGINE DRIVE BELT
(a) Check the drive belt for fraying, cracks, wear or
oiliness.
8. ENGINE OIL LEVEL
(a) Check the level on the dipstick with the engine
stopped.
9. AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL
10. EXHAUST SYSTEM
(a) Check for unusual exhaust sounds or abnormal
exhaust fumes. Inspect the cause and repair it.
