WARNINGWhen performing any inspection or service procedure on this vehicle, ensure following service precautions are followed to prevent personal injury or death due to the extremely high voltage.

The following service precautions must be followed

Scheme 318

Scheme 318
  1. Ensure ignition is off and ignition key is removed from ignition before performing any inspection or service procedure in engine compartment, as engine may automatically start and shut off when ignition is on and READY light is illuminated. READY light is displayed just above the shift lever position indicator on instrument cluster at center of instrument panel.
  2. Read all service and warning labels in engine compartment before performing any procedures in engine compartment.
  3. All high-voltage wiring harness connectors contain Orange connectors. DO NOT touch any wiring harness that contains Orange connectors.
  4. High-voltage battery and other high-voltage components may be identified by HIGH VOLTAGE caution labels on them. DO NOT touch these components.
  5. If necessary to inspect or service high-voltage system, ensure ignition is off. Remove service plug and wait at least 5 minutes to ensure high voltage is fully discharged before touching any high-voltage wiring harness, connectors or components. Service plug is located on service plug assembly at driver's side front corner of trunk compartment, near high-voltage battery. (Scheme 318) Ensure service plug is stored in a location in which no one may install service plug while technician is working on the vehicle.
  6. If necessary to touch any high-voltage wiring harness, connectors or components, ensure service plug is removed and battery voltage or less exists at electrical connector. Use Toyota insulated gloves when touching any high-voltage wiring harness, connectors or components. Ensure insulated gloves are dry and in good condition and that no holes exist in insulated gloves by applying air to insulated glove before touching any high-voltage wiring harness, connectors or components.
  7. DO NOT wear any metal objects while working on vehicle which may accidently drop and cause a short circuit.
  8. If any high-voltage wiring harness connector is disconnected, ensure terminal on wiring harness connector is wrapped with tape to prevent wiring harness connector from contacting any surface.
  9. If servicing high-voltage system, place sign on roof of vehicle to indicate to other technicians that high-voltage system is being serviced.

Note. Following procedure should be performed if battery is disconnected and reconnected, or battery is discharged and recharged to provide proper automatic operation and jam protection operation of power sun roof.

  1. Ensure ignition is on. Depress and hold TILT UP side of power sun roof switch until power sun roof tilts all the way upward and then tilts downward a little. Power sun roof switch is located on headliner, just in front of power sun roof.
  2. Check proper operation of open/closing and tilt up/down function for power sun roof using power sun roof switch. Power sun roof should operate anytime ignition is on, or for 43 seconds after ignition is off provided both front doors are closed. It will stop operating if any front door is opened. Depressing SLIDE OPEN side of power sun roof switch for one second should open power sun roof.
  3. Depressing TILT UP side of power sun roof switch for one second should close power sun roof. To tilt power sun roof upward, depress and hold TILT UP side of power sun roof switch for one second. To tilt power sun roof downward, depress and hold SLIDE OPEN side of power sun roof switch for one second.
