Scheduled Maintenance Guideº or
Owner 's Manual Supplementº. When
changing the automatic transmission fluid,
use only Toyota Genuine ATF Type T- IVº
(ATF JWS3309 or NWS6500) to aid in
assuring optimum transaxle performance.
Notice: Using automatic transmission
fluid other than Toyota Genuine ATF
Type T- IVº may cause deterioration in
shift quality, locking up of your trans-
mission accompanied by vibration, and
ultimately damage the automatic trans-
mission of your vehicle.
Please contact your Toyota dealer for fur-
ther details.

Explanation of Maintenance Items
37
Differential Oil
Replace at specified intervals. When performing inspections, check each
component for signs of leakage. If you discover any leakage, have it repaired
by a qualified technician immediately.
Drive Belts
Inspect for cracks, excessive wear and oiliness. Check the belt tension and
adjust if necessary. Replace the belts if they are damaged.
Drive Shaft Boots
Check the drive shaft boots and clamps for cracks, deterioration and damage.
Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts and, if necessary, repack the grease.
Selected models also require periodic inspection of the drive shaft bolt for proper
torque. A qualified technician should perform these operations.
Engine Air Filter
Replace at specified intervals. When performing inspections, check for damage,
excessive wear and oiliness, and replace if necessary.
Engine Coolant
Drain and flush the cooling system and refill with an ethyleneglycol type
coolant. Inspect the radiator, condenser and/or intercooler for leaves, dirt and
insects and clean if necessary. Inspect hoses and connections for corrosion and
leaks. Tighten connections and replace parts as necessary. A qualified technician
should perform these operations. (For further details, refer to “Radiator,
Condenser and Hoses” in the “Vehicle Maintenance and Care” section of the
Owner’s Manual.)
Note:YourToyota is equipped with Genuine Toyota Super LongLife Coolant. The
replacementintervals for engine coolant recommended in this booklet are based
on replacement with Genuine Toyota Super LongLife Coolant or similar high
quality nonsilicate, nonamine, nonborate ethyleneglycol coolant with
longlife hybrid organic acid technology (i.e., a combination of low phosphates
and organic acids). If another type of ethyleneglycol coolant is used, replacementintervals may be different.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and refill the engine oil at specified intervals.
For recommended oil grade and viscosity, refer to the
Owner’s Manual.

5 CHECK SPARK PLUG AND SPARK OF MISFIRING CYLINDER
(a) Remove the ignition coil.
(b) Remove the spark plug.
(c) Check the spark plug type.
Recommended spark plug:
DENSO madeSK20R11
NGK madeIFR6A11
(d) Measure the spark plug electrode gap.
Standard: 1.0 to 1.1 mm (0.039 to 0.043 in.)
Maximum: 1.3 mm (0.051 in.)
NOTICE:
If adjusting the gap of a new spark plug, bend only the base
of the ground electrode. Do not touch the tip. Never attempt
to adjust the gap on a used plug.
(e) Check the electrode for carbon deposits.
(f) Perform a spark test.
CAUTION:
Always disconnect each injector connector.
NOTICE:
Do not crank the engine for more than 2 seconds.
(1) Install the spark plug to the ignition coil and connect
the ignition coil connector.
(2) Disconnect the injector connector.
(3) Ground the spark plug.
(4) Check if spark occurs while the engine is being
cranked.
OK: Spark jumps across electrode gap.
