OK:
Needle position is on (FULL).
5.INSPECT FUEL LEVEL WARNING
a. Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then check that the fuel level needle indicates EMPTY
and the fuel level warning light comes on.
OK:
Fuel level warning light comes on.

6.INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
a. Disconnect the connector from the low oil pressure switch.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
c. Ground the terminal of the wire harness side connector, then check the low oil pressure warning
light.
OK:
Low oil pressure warning light comes on.
7.INSPECT BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
a. Inspect the parking brake warning light.
1. Disconnect the connector from the parking brake switch
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Ground the terminal of the wire harness side connector, then check the parking brake
warning light.
OK:
Brake warning light comes on.
b. Inspect the brake fluid level warning light.
1. Disconnect the connector from the brake fluid level warning switch.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Connect a terminal to the other terminal of the wire harness side connector, then check the
brake fluid level warning switch.
OK:
Brake warning light comes on.
8.INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH
a. Remove the reservoir tank cap and strainer.
b. Disconnect the connector.
c. Measure the resistance between the terminals.
Standard:
Float up (switch off): 10 kohms or higher
d. Use a syphon, etc. to take fluid out of the reservoir tank.
e. Measure the resistance between the terminals.

b. Warm up the engine.
c. Using a radiator cap tester, increase the pressure inside the radiator to 137 kPa (1.4 kgf/cm
2, 19.9

psi), and check that the pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator and water pump for leaks. If no external leaks are found,
check the heater core, cylinder block and head.
2.CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR
a. Check that the engine coolant level is between the LOW and FULL lines when the engine is cold.
If the engine coolant is low, check for leaks and add "TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant" to the
FULL line.
If "TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant" is not available, use a similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non-silicate, non-amino, non-nitrite and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid
technology. Do not substitute plain water for engine coolant.
3.CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
a. Remove the radiator cap.
b. Check if there are any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap and radiator filler
hole, Also, the coolant should be free from oil.
HINT:
If excessively dirty, clean the coolant passage and replace the coolant.
c. Reinstall the radiator cap.
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT THERMOSTAT
HINT:
The thermostat is stamped with the valve openin
g temperature.
