3966-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
HILUX_OM_OM0K219E_(EE)
You may drain the fuel filter yourself. However, as the operation is dif-
ficult, we recommend having it drained by any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. Even if you decide to drain it yourself, contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
The water in the fuel filter needs to be drained if the buzzer sounds (if
equipped) and the fuel system warning light flashes. (→P. 451)
Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position.
Place a small tray under the drain plug or drain hose to catch the
water and any fuel that comes out.
Perform the draining as shown in the illustration.
Turn the drain plug counter-
clockwise about 2 to 2 1/2
turns.
Loosening more than this will
cause water oozing from around
the drain plug.
Operate the priming pump
until fuel begins to run out.
After draining, tighten the drain plug by hand.

Fuel pump shut off system
Follow the procedure below to restart the engine after the system is
activated.Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
Restart the engine.
To minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or
when an airbag inflates upon collision, the fuel pump shut off
system stops the supply of fuel to the engine.
NOTICE
■Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system has been
damaged and is in need of repair. Do not restart the engine.

CAUTION
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on (vehi-
cles with VSC system)
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the
ABS system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
NOTICE
■If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on when the boost pressure in
the turbocharger is abnormally high (diesel engine)
Never drive at high speed or race the engine even after the lamp goes off.
■
If the fuel system warning light flashes (diesel engine)
Never drive the vehicle with the warn ing light flashing. Continued driving
with water accumulated in the fuel filter will damage the fuel injection pump.
