The following procedures are recommended to maintain windshield wiper blade
performance.
All models.
OP CODEDESCRIPTIONTIMEOPNT1T2
N/ANot Applicable to Warranty±±±±
Recommendations for Windshield Wiper Maintenance, Cleaning and Use:
1. Scheduled Maintenance
Check wiper rubber blades every 4 ± 6 months or 7,500 miles for wear, cracking
and contamination.
Clean glass and rubber wiper blades if blades are not clearing glass adequately.
If this does not correct the problem, then replace the rubber elements.
2. Cleaning Procedure
Wiper Rubber: Bugs, dirt, sap and road grime on blades will cause streaking.
Clean wiper rubber of road and environmental debris using cloth or paper towel
soaked with windshield washer fluid or mild detergent.
DO NOT USE fuel, kerosene, or petroleum based products to clean rubber wiper
blades.
Windshield: Bugs, road grime, sap and car wash wax treatments decrease wiper
performance.
Rinse windshield with water and apply non±abrasive cleaner, such as Bon±Ami
(www.faultless.com), with a sponge.
NOTE:
Make sure to use plenty of water with all powder based cleaners so the glass is
not scratched.

3. Contributors to Poor Performance/Decreased Rubber Blade Life (require rubber
replacement)
Dusty areas cause the rubber edge to wear quickly.
Sand and salt used for road conditioning during winter causes the edge to wear
quickly, so areas with significant snowfall require more frequent wiper
replacement.
Heat and time cause the rubber to become excessively ªpermanent set,º so the
rubber does not turn over, resulting in streaking and/or unwiped areas on the
glass.
Rubber is easily cut or torn while using ice scrapers on the glass.
Rubber can be torn when pulling blades off a frozen windshield.
Using wipers instead of an ice scraper to remove frost and ice from the windshield
during a car warm up can dull, nick, or tear the rubber.
Banging wiper on the glass to remove ice & snow can cause the blade to bend
and rubber to come out of the blade providing the potential to scratch the glass.
Ice forms in wiper blade pin joints, which causes streaking and unwiped areas. To
remove ice from pin joints, compress the blade and rubber with your hand to
loosen the frozen joints. To prevent this condition, use winter blades with a rubber
cover.Maintenance,

BRAKE DISC ANTI±RUST COVER REMOVALPage 1 of 2
During the removal of the Anti±Rust Covers, do not use screwdrivers or other sharp objects. The
use of such tools may result in the scratching of the outer rotor surface.
Step±by±step instructions for removing the Anti±Rust Covers are provided on the following page.

BRAKE DISC ANTI±RUST COVER REMOVAL (CONT'D)Page 2 of 2
RECOMMENDED REMOVAL PROCEDURE:
Turn the right front wheel to full right lock.
Unhook the Anti±Rust Cover from the disc brake dust cover, then pull the center of the Anti±Rust
Cover toward the wheel. This separates the Anti±Rust Cover from the disc brake dust cover (see
illustration below).
Pull the center of the Anti±Rust Cover by hand towards you to break the thin portion of cover.
Remove the Anti±Rust Cover along the arch of the wheel disc by shaking it up and down. If the
cover is torn while removing, check to see that no parts of the cover are left inside.
Turn the steering wheel to full left lock and perform the same steps on the left front wheel. If
applicable, also remove the Anti±Rust Covers on the rear brakes.
Indicate on the new car inspection sheet that the Anti±Rust Covers have been removed.

This TSB outlines the causes of brake vibration and pulsation, as well as the best corrective
measures to use.
CONTENTS
1) Symptoms of brake vibration and pulsation
2) Cause of vibration/pulsation problems
3) Advantages of using an on±car brake lathe
4) Rotor replacement and off±car brake lathe procedure
1) SYMPTOMS OF BRAKE VIBRATION AND PULSATION
Brake vibration problems generally involve one or both of two phenomena: body vibration and/
or pedal pulsation.
A. BRAKE VIBRATION
Applying brakes causes vibration to occur in the instrument panel, steering column, steering
wheel, and/or body of the vehicle (See Figure 1 below).

B. PEDAL PULSATION
Applying brakes causes the brake pedal to pulsate. This brake pulsation sometimes
causes the steering wheel to oscillate when the brakes are applied (See Figure 2 below).
2) CAUSE OF VIBRATION/PULSATION PROBLEMS
Brake rotor thickness variation causes brake vibration due to changes in the braking force as
thick/thin portions of the rotor pass the pads. Brake rotor thickness variation can be measured
with a micrometer as shown in Figure 3 below.

BRAKE VIBRATION AND/OR PULSATIONPage 3 of 6
There are two factors which cause excessive rotor thickness variation:
A. ROTOR RUNOUT
±Rotor runout can be caused by poor mating of flanges between the hub and rotor when
assembled as a unit. Manufacturing tolerance stack±up of the rotor and hub may also
cause excessive rotor assembly runout (See Figure 4 below).
± If there is rotor runout, a portion of the rotor comes into contact with the brake pad on
each rotor revolution. If left like this, the portion of the rotor that contacts the brake pad
becomes worn, creating thickness variation.
B. EXCESSIVE RUST OR CORROSION ON ROTOR SURFACE
± Driving in areas where salt is applied to road surfaces for winter conditions can cause
rust and corrosion when the vehicle is parked for an extended period of time. This occurs
on the area where the brake pads are not in contact with the rotor.
± When a vehicle is driven with rusted rotors, the area with corrosion wears at a
different rate than the non±corroded areas, resulting in excessive thickness variation.

3) Advantages Of Using An On±Car Brake Lathe
Toyota Motor Corporation Engineers strongly recommend that an on±car brake lathe be used
for repairing brake vibration and pulsation. This method improves rotor and hub combined
runout, and is the preferred method when compared to rotor replacement and off±the±car rotor
machining.
A. Technical Advantage of Caliper Mounted Brake Lathe
± Installing the brake lathe in the same position as the caliper results in minimal runout
relative to the caliper.
± Eliminating this runout minimizes the pad grinding on the rotor and reduces rotor
thickness variation.
B. Practical Use Benefits
± Resurfacing rotors on vehicles with rotor/hub assemblies can be performed easily.
± Vehicles with corrosion between hub and rotor flanges can be machined without
removing rotor from hub.
4) Rotor Replacement And Off±Car Brake Lathe Procedures
If an on±car brake lathe is not available at your dealership, it may be necessary to use an off±car
lathe or replace rotors. In order to ensure proper brake vibration and pulsation repairs, pay close
attention to the following precautions:
A. Off±Car Brake Lathe Precautions
± Perform routine maintenance of brake lathe components (clearance of arbor shaft to
adapters may need to be repaired).
± Clean all adapters and shaft to maintain accuracy of equipment.
± When installing rotor to machine, clean mud, rust, and/or foreign material from the
adapters and rotors.
± After installing rotor on machine, check rotor runout using dial indicator. If runout is
excessive, determine the cause and correct it.
± Follow lathe manufacturer repair procedures. Do not cut excessive amounts off rotor
during the first cut to save time.
Anytime a rotor is machined it must be measured for minimum rotor thickness. The
thickness for the rotor is never to be less than minimum thickness as specified in the
appropriate repair manual.
