GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The owners are responsible for these maintenance and inspection items.
They can be done by the owner or they can have them done at a service shop.
These items include those which should be checked on a daily basis, those which, in most cases, do not
require (special) tools and those which are considered to be reasonable for the owner to do.
Items and procedures for general maintenance are as follows.
1. GENERAL NOTES

Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner's manual supplement in which
the maintenance schedule is shown.

Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performed.

Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time interval (months).

Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval as before unless
otherwise noted.

Failure to do even one item can cause the engine to run poorly and increase exhaust emissions.
2. TIRES
(a) Check the pressure with a gauge.
If necessary, adjust.
(b) Check for cuts, damage or excessive wear.
3. WHEEL NUTS
When checking the tires, check the nuts for looseness or for missing nuts.
If necessary, tighten them.
4. TIRE ROTATION
Check the owner's manual supplement in which the maintenance schedule is shown.
5. WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Check for wear or cracks whenever they do not wipe clean.
If necessary, replace.
6. FLUID LEAKS
(a) Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, water or other fluid.
(b) If you smell gasoline fumes or notice any leak, have the cause found and corrected.
7. DOORS AND ENGINE HOOD
(a) Check that all doors and includiing the trunk lid operate smoothly, and that all latches lock securely.
(b) Check that the engine hood secondary latch secures the hood from opening when the primary latch
is released.

BODY
INSPECTION
1. TIGHTEN BOLTS AND NUTS ON CHASSIS AND BODY
(a) Tighten the front seat-to-body mounting bolts.
Torque: 37 N´m (375 kgf´cm, 27 ft´lbf)
(b) Under Severe Conditions:
In addition to the above maintenance items, check for
loose or missing nuts and bolts on the steering system,
drive train, suspension system, fuel tank mounts, engine
mounts, etc.
2. FINAL INSPECTION
(a) Check the operation of the body parts:

Hood:
Auxiliary catch operates properly
Hood locks securely when closed

Front and rear doors:
Door lock operates properly
Doors close properly

Luggage compartment door:
Door lock operates properly

Seats:
Seat adjusts easily and locks securely in any posi-
tion
Front seat back locks securely in any position
Folding-down rear seat backs lock securely
(b) Road test:

Check the engine and chassis for abnormal noises.

Check that the vehicle does not wander or pull to
one side.

Check that the brakes work properly and do not
drag.
(b) Be sure to deliver a clean car.
Especially check the steering wheel, shift lever knob, all
switch knobs, door handles and seats.

- DIAGNOSTICSENGINE
DI-7
1996 TERCEL (RM440U)
(b) Clear the DTC.
The following actions will erase the DTC and freezed
frame data.
(1) Operating the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE
J1978) or TOYOTA hand-held tester to erase the
codes. (See the OBD II scan tool's instruction book
for operating instructions.)
(2) Disconnecting the battery terminals or EFI fuse.
NOTICE:
If the TOYOTA hand-held tester switches the ECM from
normal mode to check mode or vice-versa, or if the igni-
tion switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF during check
mode, the DTC and freezed frame data will be erased.
4. FAIL-SAFE CHART
If any of the following codes is recorded, the ECM enters fail-safe mode.
DTC No.Fail-Safe OperationFail-Safe Deactivation Conditions
P0105Ignition timing fixed at 5° BTDCReturned to normal condition
P0110Intake air temp. is fixed at 20°C (68°F)Returned to normal condition
P0115Engine coolant temp. is fixed at 80°C (176°F)Returned to normal condition
P0120VTA is fixed at 0°
The following condition must be repeated at least 2 times
consecutively
When closed throttle position switch is ON:
0.1 V

0.95 V
P0141The heater circuit in which an abnormality is detected is
turned offIgnition switch OFF
P0325Max. timing retardationIgnition switch OFF
P1300Fuel cutIGF signal is detected for 4 consecutive ignitions
5. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
HINT:
TOYOTA hand-held tester only:
By putting the vehicle's ECM in check mode, 1 trip detection logic is possible instead of 2 trip detection logic
and sensitivity to detect open circuits is increased. This makes it easier to detect intermittent problems.
(a) Clear the DTC (See page DI-13).
(b) Set the check mode (See page DI-13).
(c) Perform a simulation test (See page IN-26).
(d) Check the connector and terminal (See page IN-26).
(e) Handle the connector (See page IN-26).
6. BASIC INSPECTION
When the malfunction code is not confirmed in the DTC check, troubleshooting should be performed in the
order for all possible circuits to be considered as the causes of the problems. In many cases, by carrying
out the basic engine check shown in the following flow chart, the location causing the problem can be found
quickly and efficiently. Therefore, use of this check is essential in engine troubleshooting.
1 Is battery positive voltage 11V or more when engine is stopped ?
NO Charge or replace battery.

(c) Clear the DTC.
(1) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E
1 of the
DLC1 and remove the short pin from the DLC1.

(2) IG switch ON.
(3) Clear the DTC stored in ECU by depressing the
brake pedal 8 or more times within 3 seconds.
(4) Check that the warning light shows the normal
code.
(5) Remove the SST from the terminals of the DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
(6) Connect the short pin to the DLC1.
HINT:
Cancellation can also be done by removing the DOME fuse , but
in this case, other memory systems will also be cancelled out.
(d) Using TOYOTA break-out-box and TOYOTA hand-held
tester, measure the ECU terminal values.
(1) Hook up the TOYOTA hand-held tester and TOYO-
TA break-out-box to the vehicle.
(2) Read the ECU input/output values by following the
prompts on the tester screen.
HINT:
TOYOTA hand-held tester has a ºSnapshot º function. This re-
cords the measured values and is effective in the diagnosis of
intermittent problems.
Please refer to the TOYOTA hand-held tester/TOYOTA break
out-box operators manual for further details.
