  1. BASIC REPAIR HINT HINTS ON OPERATIONS (Scheme 4): Identifying Repair Precaution JACKING UP AND SUPPORTING VEHICLE Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting the vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the vehicle at the proper locations. PRECOATED PARTS Precoated parts are bolts and nuts that are coated with a seal lock adhesive at the factory. If a precoated part is retightened, loosened or moved in any way, it must be recoated with the specified adhesive. When reusing a precoated part, clean off the old adhesive and dry the part with compressed air. Then apply new seal lock adhesive appropriate to that part. Some seal lock agents harden slowly. You may have to wait for the seal lock adhesive to harden. (Scheme 5): Identifying Seal Lock Adhesive On Bolts GASKETS When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to prevent leaks. BOLTS, NUTS AND SCREWS Carefully follow all the specifications for tightening torques. Always use a torque wrench. FUSES When inspecting a fuse, check that the wire of the fuse is not broken. When replacing fuses, be sure that the new fuse has the correct amperage rating. Do not exceed the rating or use one with a lower rating. (Scheme 6): Identifying Fuse Condition SYMBOL CHART Illustration Symbol Part Name Abbreviation FUSE FUSE MEDIUM CURRENT FUSE M-FUSE HIGH CURRENT FUSE H-FUSE FUSIBLE LINK FL CIRCUIT BREAKER CB CLIPS The removal and installation methods of typical clips used for vehicle body parts are shown in the table below. HINT: If clips are damaged during a procedure, always replace the clips with new clips. (Scheme 7): Clips Removal And Installation Methods CLAWS The removal and installation methods of typical claws used for vehicle body parts are shown in the table below. HINT: If claws of caps or covers are damaged during a procedure, always replace the caps or covers with new ones. (Scheme 8): Claws Removal And Installation Methods REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF VACUUM HOSES To disconnect a vacuum hose, pull and twist from the end of the hose. Do not pull from the middle of the hose as this may cause damage. (Scheme 9): Precaution For Vacuum Hose When disconnecting vacuum hoses, use tags to identify where they should be reconnected. After completing any hose related repairs, double check that the vacuum hoses are properly connected. The label under the hood shows the proper layout. When using a vacuum gauge, never force the hose onto a connector that is too large. If a hose has been stretched, it may leak air. Use a step-down adapter if necessary. (Scheme 10): Applying Tag On Vacuum Hoses TORQUE WHEN USING TORQUE WRENCH WITH EXTENSION TOOL (Scheme 11): Identifying Torque Wrench Dimension Use the formula below to calculate special torque values for situations where SST or an extension tool is combined with the torque wrench. Formula: T 1 = L2 / (L1 + L2) * T FORMULA CHART T 1 Reading of torque wrench {N*m (kgf*cm, ft.*lbf)} T Torque {N*m (kgf*cm, ft.*lbf)} L1 Length of SST or extension tool {cm (in.)} L2 Length of torque wrench {cm (in.)} (Scheme 12): Identifying Torque Wrench Dimension NOTE: If an extension tool or SST is combined with a torque wrench and the wrench is used to tighten to a torque specification in this article, the actual torque will be excessive and parts will be damaged.
  2. PRECAUTIONS FOR HIGH-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT INSPECTION AND SERVICE Engineers must undergo special training to be able to perform high-voltage system inspection and servicing. All high-voltage wire harness connectors are colored orange. The HV battery and other high-voltage components have "High Voltage" caution labels. Do not carelessly touch these wires and components. Before inspecting or servicing the high-voltage system, be sure to follow safety measures, such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug to prevent electrocution. Carry the removed service plug in your pocket to prevent other technicians from reinstalling it while you are servicing the vehicle. After removing the service plug, wait 5 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors and terminals. HINT: 5 minutes are required to discharge the high-voltage condenser inside the inverter. Be sure to install the service plug before starting the hybrid system. Starting the hybrid system with the service plug removed may damage the vehicle. (Scheme 13): Locating Service Plug Before wearing insulated gloves, make sure that they are not cracked, ruptured, torn, or damaged in any way. Do not wear wet insulated gloves. When servicing the vehicle, do not carry metal objects like mechanical pencils or scales that can be dropped accidentally and cause a short circuit. Before touching a bare high-voltage terminal, wear insulated gloves and use an electrical tester to ensure that the terminal is not charged with electricity (approximately 0 V). (Scheme 14): Inspecting Insulated Gloves After disconnecting or exposing a high-voltage connector or terminal, insulate it immediately using insulation tape. The screw of a high-voltage terminal should be tightened firmly to the specified torque. Both insufficient and excessive torque can cause failure. Use the "CAUTION: HIGH VOLTAGE. DO NOT TOUCH DURING OPERATION." sign to notify other engineers that a high-voltage system is being inspected and/or repaired. Do not place the battery upside down while removing and installing it. (Scheme 15): Precaution For Disconnecting Or Exposing High-Voltage Connector After servicing the high-voltage system and before reinstalling the service plug, check again that you have not left a part or tool inside, that the high-voltage terminal screws are firmly tightened, and that the connectors are correctly connected.
  3. PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN INSPECTING OR SERVICING ENGINE COMPARTMENT The PRIUS automatically turns the engine ON and OFF when the READY light on the instrument panel is ON. To avoid injury, remove the key from the key slot before inspecting or servicing the engine compartment.
  4. ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN BATTERIES ARE DEPLETED Perform this procedure when the auxiliary battery is fully depleted. HINT: The following problems indicate that the auxiliary battery is depleted: (Scheme 16): Caution Indication Label No display appears on the instrument panel when the power switch's power mode is set to ON (IG). The hybrid system does not start. The headlights are dim. The sound from the horn is weak. NOTE: Never use a quick charger. Push the "P" position switch, and engage the parking brake. Remove the key from the key slot. Using a booster cable, connect the rescue vehicle's 12 V battery positive (+) lead to the stalled vehicle's relay block positive (+) terminal and the negative (-) lead to the suspension support's nut on the right side. Start the engine of the rescue vehicle and run the engine at a speed slightly higher than the idling speed for 5 minutes to charge the auxiliary battery of the stalled vehicle. (Scheme 17): Connecting Booster Cable Depress the brake pedal and push the power switch to start the hybrid system. If the hybrid system fails to start and the master light turns ON, the HV battery may be depleted. Disconnect the booster cable in the reverse order of the connection procedure. NOTE: If the auxiliary battery needs to be replaced, replace it only with a 12 V battery specially designed for use with the PRIUS. (Scheme 18): Identifying Battery Indication Label Perform this procedure when the HV battery is depleted. NOTE: Leaving the vehicle untouched for 2 to 3 months may deplete the HV battery. If the battery is fully depleted, replace the HV battery.
  5. ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN FOR VEHICLE DAMAGED BY IMPACT Items to be prepared for operation at the site of the accident Protective clothing (insulated gloves, rubber gloves, goggles, and safety shoes) Saturated boric acid solution 20 L (obtain 800 g of boric acid powder, put it into a container, and dissolve it in water) Red litmus paper ABC fire extinguisher (effective against both oil flames and electrical flames) Shop rags (for wiping off the electrolyte) Vinyl tape (for insulating cable) Electrical tester Actions to be taken at the accident site Wear insulated or rubber gloves, goggles and safety shoes. Do not touch a bare cable that could be a high voltage cable. If the cable must be touched or if accidental contact is unavoidable, follow these instructions: 1) wear insulated or rubber gloves and goggles, 2) measure the voltage between the cable and the body ground using an electrical tester, and 3) insulate the cable using vinyl tape. If the vehicle catches on fire, use an ABC fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire. Trying to extinguish a fire using only a small amount of water can be more dangerous than effective. Use a substantial amount of water or wait for fire fighters. Visually check the HV battery and immediate area for any electrolyte leakage. Do not touch any leaked liquid because it could be a highly alkaline electrolyte. Wear rubber gloves and goggles, and then apply red litmus paper to the leak. If the paper turns blue, the liquid must be neutralized before wiping. Neutralize the liquid using the following procedures: 1) apply saturated boric acid solution to the liquid, and 2) reapply red litmus paper and make sure it does not turn blue. Repeat steps 1 and 2 above until the paper does not turn blue. Then, wipe the neutralized liquid with a shop rag. If damage to any of the high-voltage components and cables is suspected, cut the high-voltage circuit using the procedure below. (Scheme 19): Identifying High-Voltage Part And Wiring Push the "P" position switch and engage the parking brake. Remove the key from the key slot. Then disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery. Remove the service plug while wearing insulated gloves. CAUTION: Do not turn the power switch on while removing the service plug. (Scheme 20): Identifying Service Plug NOTE: If the service plug cannot be removed due to damage to the rear portion of the vehicle, remove the HV fuse or power integration (IGCT relay) instead. Moving the damaged vehicle HINT: If any of the following applies, tow the vehicle away using a tow truck. One or more of the high-voltage components and cables are damaged. The driving, traction, or fuel system is damaged. (Scheme 21): Identifying Engine Room Junction Block The READY light is not illuminated when you start the engine. NOTE: Before towing the vehicle away using a tow truck, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery and remove the service plug. Only if none of the above applies and there are no problems that might affect driving, drive the vehicle away from the accident site to a safe place nearby. Perform the procedure below if the READY light turns off, or there are abnormal noises, unusual smells, or strong vibrations while driving: (Scheme 22): Identifying READY Light Park the vehicle in a safe place. Push the "P" position switch and engage the parking brake. Disconnect the power cable from the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery. Remove the service plug while wearing insulated gloves. Actions required after moving the damaged vehicle If you see any liquid on the road surface, it could be a highly alkaline electrolyte leakage. Wear rubber gloves and goggles, and apply red litmus paper to the leak. If the paper turns blue, the liquid must be neutralized before wiping. Neutralize the liquid using the following procedures: 1) apply saturated boric acid solution to the liquid, and 2) reapply red litmus paper and make sure it does not turn blue. Repeat steps 1 and 2 above until the paper does not turn blue. Then wipe the neutralized liquid with a shop rag. Items to be prepared (when repairing damaged vehicles) Protective clothing (insulated gloves, rubber gloves, goggles, and safety shoes) Saturated boric acid solution 20 L (obtain 800 g of boric acid powder, put it into a container, and dissolve it in water) Red litmus paper Shop rags (for wiping off the electrolyte) Vinyl tape (for insulating cable) Electrical tester Precautions to be observed when servicing the damaged vehicle Wear insulated or rubber gloves, goggles, and safety shoes. Do not touch a bare cable that could be a high voltage cable. If the cable must be touched or if accidental contact is unavailable, follow these instructions: 1) wear insulated or rubber gloves and goggles, 2) measure the voltage between the cable and the body ground using an electrical tester, and 3) insulate the cable using vinyl tape. Check the HV battery and immediate area for any electrolyte leakage. Do not touch any leaked liquid because it could be a highly alkaline electrolyte. Wear rubber gloves and goggles, and then apply red litmus paper to the leak. If the paper turns blue, the liquid must be neutralized before wiping. Neutralize the liquid using the following procedures: apply saturated boric acid solution to the liquid, and 2) reapply red litmus paper and make sure it does not turn blue. Repeat steps 1 and 2 above until the paper does not turn blue. Then wipe the neutralized liquid with a shop rag. If the electrolyte adheres to your skin, wash the skin immediately using saturated boric acid solution or a large amount of water. If the electrolyte adheres to an article of clothing, take the clothing off immediately. If the electrolyte comes in contact with your eyes, call out loudly for help. Do not rub your eyes. Wash them with a large amount of water and seek medical care immediately. If damage to any of the high-voltage components and cables is suspected, cut the high-voltage circuit using the procedure below. Push the "P" position switch and engage the parking brake. Remove the key from the key slot. Then disconnect the power cable from the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery. Wear insulated gloves, and then remove the service plug. NOTE: If you cannot remove the service plug due to damage to the rear portion of the vehicle, remove the HV fuse or IGCT relay instead. Precautions to be taken when disposing of the vehicle When scrapping the vehicle, remove the HV battery from the vehicle and return it to the location specified by the manufacturer. The same applies to any damaged HV battery. After removing the battery, keep it away from water. Water may heat the battery, which results in fire. Precautions to be observed when towing Tow the damaged vehicle with its front wheels or its front and rear wheels lifted off the ground. NOTE: Towing the damaged vehicle with its front wheels on the ground may cause the motor to generate electricity. This electricity could, depending on the nature of the damage, leak and cause a fire. Towing with 4 wheels on the ground NOTE: If the damaged vehicle needs to be towed using a rope, do not exceed 30 km/h and tow only for very short distances. For example, towing from the accident site to a nearby tow truck is permissible. Change the power switch's power mode to ON (IG) and shift the selector lever to the N position. If any abnormality is present in the damaged vehicle during towing, stop towing immediately. Towing eyelet Install the hook. Hook a rope on to the illustrated area for towing.
  6. FOR VEHICLES WITH SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM The PRIUS is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The SRS of this vehicle consists of the following: Steering pad Front passenger airbag assembly (Scheme 23): Identifying Hook Curtain shield airbag assembly Front seat side airbag assembly Front seat outer belt assembly with pretensioner Front airbag sensor assembly Side airbag sensor assembly Rear airbag sensor assembly CAUTION: Failure to carry out service procedures in the correct sequence could cause SRS parts to unexpectedly deploy and possibly lead to serious injuries. Furthermore, if a mistake is made when servicing SRS parts, they may fail to operate when required. Before performing servicing (including installation/removal, inspection and replacement of parts), be sure to read the following precautions. Before starting work, wait at least 90 seconds after the power switch is turned OFF and after the cable of the negative (-) battery terminal is disconnected. (SRS parts are equipped with a backup power source. If work is started within 90 seconds of turning the power switch OFF and disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, SRS parts may deploy.) Do not expose SRS parts directly to hot air or flames. NOTE: Malfunction symptoms of SRS parts are difficult to confirm. DTCs are the most important source of information when troubleshooting. During troubleshooting, always confirm DTCs before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. For minor collisions where SRS parts do not deploy, always inspect the SRS parts. Before performing repairs, remove airbag sensors as necessary if any kind of impact is likely to occur to an airbag sensor during repairs. Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing SRS parts, replace them with new ones. Never disassemble or attempt to repair SRS parts. If an SRS part has been dropped, or if there are any cracks, dents or other defects in the case, bracket or connector, replace the SRS part with a new one. Use an ohmmeter/voltmeter with high impedance (10 kohms/V minimum) for troubleshooting the electrical circuits. Information labels are attached to the periphery of SRS parts. Follow the cautions and instructions on the labels. After work on SRS parts is completed, perform the SRS warning light check. When the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, the memory settings of each system will be cleared. Because of this, be sure to write down the settings of each system before starting work. When work is finished, reset the settings of each system as before. Never use a backup power supply from outside the vehicle to avoid erasing the memory in a system. SPIRAL CABLE The steering wheel must be fitted correctly to the steering column with the spiral cable at the neutral position, as cable disconnection and other problems may occur. Refer to the information about correct installation of the steering wheel. AIRBAG ASSEMBLY Airbag assembly with pad: Always place a removed or new airbag assembly with the pad surface facing upward. Placing the airbag assembly with the airbag inflation direction facing downward could cause a serious accident if the airbag inflates. Also, do not place anything on top of the airbag assembly. Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib. This may cause the airbag to inflate, which could cause a serious injury. Grease or detergents of any kind should not be applied to the airbag assembly. Store the airbag assembly in an area where the ambient temperature is below 93°C (200°F), the humidity is not high and there is no electrical noise. When using electric welding anywhere on the vehicle, disconnect the center airbag sensor assembly connectors. These connectors contain shorting springs. This feature reduces the possibility of the airbag deploying due to currents entering the squib wiring. When disposing of the vehicle or the airbag assembly by itself, the airbag should be deployed using SST before disposal. Activate the airbag in a safe place away from electrical noise. SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY WITH PRETENSIONER Never measure the resistance of the seat outer belt. This may cause the pretensioner of the seat outer belt to activate, which could cause a serious injury. Never install the seat outer belt on another vehicle. Store the seat outer belt in an area where the ambient temperature is below 80°C (176°F), the humidity is not high and there is no electrical noise. When using electric welding anywhere on the vehicle, disconnect the airbag ECU connectors. These connectors contain shorting springs. This feature reduces the possibility of the pretensioner deploying due to currents entering the squib wiring. When disposing of a vehicle or the seat outer belt by itself, the pretensioner should be activated before disposal. Activate the pretensioner in a safe place away from electrical noise. As the seat outer belt is hot after the pretensioner is activated, allow some time for it to cool down sufficiently before disposal. Never apply water to try to cool down the seat outer belt. Grease, detergents, oil or water should not be applied to the seat outer belt. CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY Never reuse an center airbag sensor assembly that has been involved in a collision where the SRS has deployed. The connectors to the center airbag sensor assembly should be connected or disconnected with the sensor placed on the floor. If the connectors are connected or disconnected while the center airbag sensor assembly is not placed on the floor, the SRS may activate. Work must be started at least 90 seconds after the power switch is turned OFF and the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, even if only loosening the set bolts of the center airbag sensor assembly. WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR All the connectors in the system are yellow. If the SRS wire harness becomes disconnected or the connector becomes broken, repair or replace it.
  7. ELECTRONIC CONTROL REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF BATTERY TERMINAL NOTE: Certain systems need to be initialized after disconnecting and reconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Before performing electronic work, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to prevent component and wire damage caused by accidental short circuits. (Scheme 24): Disconnecting Cable From Negative (-) Battery Terminal When disconnecting the cable, turn the power switch OFF and headlight dimmer switch OFF and loosen the cable nut completely. Perform these operations without twisting or prying the cable. Then disconnect the cable. Clock settings, radio settings, audio system memory, DTCs and other data are erased when the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal. Write down any necessary data before disconnecting the cable. HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC PARTS Do not open the cover or case of the ECU unless absolutely necessary. If the IC terminals are touched, the IC may be rendered inoperative by static electricity. Do not pull the wires when disconnecting electronic connectors. Pull the connector. Be careful not to drop electronic components, such as sensors or relays. If they are dropped on a hard surface, they should be replaced. When cleaning the engine with steam, protect the electronic components, air filter and emission-related components from water. (Scheme 25): Precaution For Electronic Parts Never use an impact wrench to remove or install temperature switches or temperature sensors. When measuring the resistance of a wire connector, insert the tester probe carefully to prevent terminals from bending.
  8. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF FUEL CONTROL PARTS PLACE FOR REMOVING AND INSTALLING FUEL SYSTEM PARTS Work in a location with good air ventilation that does not have welders, grinders, drills, electric motors, stoves, or any other ignition sources. Never work in a pit or near a pit as vaporized fuel will collect in those places. REMOVING AND INSTALLING FUEL SYSTEM PARTS Prepare a fire extinguisher before starting the operation. To prevent static electricity, install a ground wire to the fuel changer, vehicle and fuel tank, and do not spray the surrounding area with water. Be careful when performing work in this area, as the work surface will become slippery. Do not clean up gasoline spills with water, as this may cause the gasoline to spread, and possibly create a fire hazard. Avoid using electric motors, working lights and other electric equipment that can cause sparks or high temperatures. Avoid using iron hammers as they may create sparks. Dispose of fuel-contaminated cloth separately using a fire resistant container.
  9. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF ENGINE INTAKE PARTS If any metal particles enter inlet system parts, they may damage the engine. When removing and installing inlet system parts, cover the openings of the removed parts and engine openings. Use gummed tape or other suitable materials. When installing inlet system parts, check that no metal particles have entered the engine or the installed parts. (Scheme 26): Precaution For Removing And Installing Inlet System Parts
  10. HANDLING OF HOSE CLAMPS Before removing the hose, check the clamp position so that it can be reinstalled in the same position. Replace any deformed or dented clamps with new ones. When reusing a hose, attach the clamp on the clamp track portion of the hose. For a spring type clamp, you may want to spread the tabs slightly after installation by pushing in the direction of the arrows as shown in the illustration.
  11. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS Install the antenna as far away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle electronic systems as possible. (Scheme 27): Checking Clamp Position Install an antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle electronic systems. For details about ECU and sensor locations, refer to the section of the applicable components. Keep the antenna and feeder separate from other wiring as much as possible. This will prevent signals from the communication equipment from affecting vehicle equipment and vice versa. Check that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted. (Scheme 28): Checking Antenna And Feeder Do not install a high-powered mobile communication system.
  12. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH VEHICLE STABILITY (VSC) SYSTEM NOTICES WHEN USING DRUM TESTER Before beginning testing, disable the VSC. To disable the VSC, turn the power switch OFF and connect SST to terminals 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3. SST 09843-18040 NOTE: Confirm that the VSC warning light blinks. The VSC system will be reset when the engine is started. For safety, secure the vehicle with restraint chains while using a wheel dynamometer. (Scheme 29): Identifying DLC3 Connector Terminals NOTICES OF RELATED OPERATIONS TO VSC Do not carry out unnecessary installation and removal as it might affect the adjustment of VSC related parts. Be sure to follow the instructions for work preparation and final confirmation of proper operation of the VSC system.
  13. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAUTION: If a large amount of unburned gasoline or gasoline vapors flow into the converter, it may cause overheating and create a fire hazard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions. Use only unleaded gasoline. Avoid idling the engine for more than 20 minutes. Avoid performing unnecessary spark jump tests. Perform a spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible. While testing, never race the engine. Avoid a prolonged engine compression measurement. Engine compression measurements must be performed as rapidly as possible. Do not run the engine when the fuel tank is nearly empty. This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.

  1. NOTICE ABOUT VEHICLE CONDITION WHEN JACKING UP VEHICLE The vehicle must be unloaded before jacking up / lifting up the vehicle. Never jack up / lift up a heavily loaded vehicle. When removing heavy parts such as the engine and transmission, the center of gravity of the vehicle may shift. To stabilize the vehicle, place a balance weight in a location where it will not roll or shift, or use a mission jack to hold the jacking support.
  2. NOTICE FOR USING 4 POST LIFT Follow the safety procedures outlined in the lift instruction article. Use precautionary measures to prevent the free wheel beam from damaging tires or wheels. Use wheel chocks to secure the vehicle.
  3. NOTICE FOR USING JACK AND SAFETY STAND Work on a level surface. Use wheel chocks at all times. Use safety stands with rubber attachments as shown in the illustration. Set the jack and safety stands to the specified locations of the vehicle accurately. When jacking up the vehicle, first release the parking brake and move the shift lever to N. When jacking up the entire vehicle: When jacking up the front wheels first, make sure wheel chocks are behind the rear wheels. When jacking up the rear wheels first, make sure wheel chocks are in front of the front wheels. (Scheme 30): Identifying Rubber Attachment When jacking up only the front or rear wheels of the vehicle: Before jacking up the front wheels, place wheel chocks on both sides of the rear wheels. Before jacking up the rear wheels, place wheel chocks on both sides of the front wheels. When lowering a vehicle that only has its front or rear wheels jacked up: Before lowering the front wheels, make sure wheel chocks are in front of the rear wheels. Before lowering the rear wheels, make sure wheel chocks are behind the front wheels. (Scheme 31): Identifying Jack Points It is extremely dangerous to perform any work on a vehicle raised on a jack alone, even for work that can be finished quickly. Safety stands must be used to support it.
  4. NOTICE FOR USING SWING ARM TYPE LIFT Follow the safety procedures outlined in its instruction article. Use a swing arm equipped with a rubber attachment, as shown in the illustration. When using the lift, make sure that the vehicle is stabilized so that it will not tilt while work is being performed. Stabilize the vehicle by adjusting the lift arm's length and vehicle's position. When using the lift, its center should be as close to the vehicle's center of gravity as possible (length of "L" in the illustration should be as short as possible). (Scheme 32): Identifying Swing Arm Type Lift Set the vehicle on the lift as level as possible. Then match the groove of the cradle to the rigid rack support location. Be sure to lock the swing arms before lifting and during work (if equipped with arm locks). Lift the vehicle up off the ground. Stand at a safe distance and shake the vehicle to check its stability.
  5. NOTICE FOR USING PLATE TYPE LIFT Follow safety procedures outlined in its instruction article. Use plate lift attachments (rubber lifting blocks) on top of the plate surface. Refer to the illustration below to determine how to properly set the vehicle. (Scheme 33): Identifying Plate Type Lift HINT: PLATE TYPE LIFT SPECIFICATIONS Right and left set position Place the vehicle over the center of the lift. Front and rear set position Place the attachments at the ends of the rubber plate surface, under the vehicle lift pad (A and C in the illustration). Raise the plate slightly and reposition the vehicle so the top of the attachment (B in the illustration) is aligned with the front side notch in the vehicle rocker flange. Use the lift to raise the vehicle up off the ground, and shake the vehicle to make sure that it is stable.

GENERAL INFORMATION

A large number of ECU controlled systems are used in the PRIUS. In general, ECU controlled systems are considered to be very intricate, requiring a high level of technical knowledge to troubleshoot. However, most problem checking procedures only involve inspecting the ECU controlled system's circuits one by one. An adequate understanding of the system and a basic knowledge of electricity is enough to perform effective troubleshooting, accurate diagnoses and necessary repairs.

FOR USING INTELLIGENT TESTER

Connect the cable of the intelligent tester to the DLC3, turn the power switch ON (IG) and attempt to use the tester. If the display indicates that a communication error has occurred, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the tester.

If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle.

If communication is still not possible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem may be in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tester's instruction article.

  2. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS HINT: In troubleshooting, confirm that the problem symptoms have been accurately identified. Preconceptions should be discarded in order to make an accurate judgment. To clearly understand what the problem symptoms are, it is extremely important to ask the customer about the problem and the conditions at the time the malfunction occurred. Gather as much information as possible for reference. Past problems that seem unrelated may also help in some cases. The following 5 items are important points in the problem analysis: VEHICLE MODEL CHART What Vehicle model, system name When Date, time, occurrence frequency Where Road conditions Under what conditions? Running conditions, driving conditions, weather conditions How did it happen? Problem symptoms
  3. SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE HINT: The diagnostic system in the PRIUS has various functions. The first function is the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) check. A DTC is a code stored in the ECU memory whenever a malfunction in the signal circuits to the ECU occurs. In a DTC check, a previous malfunction's DTC can be checked by a technician during troubleshooting. Another function is the Input Signal Check, which checks if the signals from various switches are sent to the ECU correctly. By using these functions, the problem areas can be narrowed down and troubleshooting is more effective. Diagnostic functions are incorporated in the following system in the PRIUS.

In addition, the DTC should be compared to the problem symptom to see if they are related. For this reason, DTCs should be checked before and after confirmation of symptoms (i.e., whether or not problem symptoms exist) to determine current system conditions, as shown in the flowchart below. Never skip the DTC check. Failing to check DTCs may, depending on the case, result in unnecessary troubleshooting for systems operating normally or lead to repairs not related to the problem. Follow the procedures listed in the flowchart in the correct order. The following flowchart shows how to proceed with troubleshooting using the DTC check. Directions from the flowchart will indicate how to proceed either to DTC troubleshooting or to the troubleshooting of each problem symptom.

Check the wire harness and connectors. B: SYSTEM NORMAL A: TROUBLESHOOTING OF EACH PROBLEM SYMPTOM The problem is still occurring in a place other than the diagnostic circuit (the DTC displayed first is either for a past problem or a secondary problem).
  4. SYMPTOM SIMULATION HINT: The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when no problem symptoms occur. In such a case, a thorough problem analysis must be carried out. A simulation of the same or similar conditions and environment in which the problem occurred in the customer's vehicle should be carried out. No matter how much skill or experience a technician has, troubleshooting without confirming the problem symptoms will lead to important repairs being overlooked and mistakes or delays. For example: With a problem that only occurs when the engine is cold or as a result of vibration caused by the road during driving, the problem can never be determined if the symptoms are being checked on a stationary vehicle or on a vehicle with a warmed-up engine. Vibration, heat or water penetration (moisture) is difficult to reproduce. The symptom simulation tests below are effective substitutes for the conditions and can be applied on a stationary vehicle. Important points in the symptom simulation test: In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms as well as the problem area or parts must be confirmed. First, narrow down the possible problem circuits according to the symptoms. Then, connect the tester and carry out the symptom simulation test, judging whether the circuit being tested is defective or normal. Also, confirm the problem symptoms at the same time. Refer to 6 the problem symptoms table for each system to narrow down the possible causes. VIBRATION METHOD: When a malfunction seems to occur as a result of vibration. PART AND SENSOR Apply slight vibration with a finger to the part of the sensor suspected to be the cause of the problem, and check whether or not the malfunction occurs. NOTE: Applying strong vibration to relays may open them. CONNECTORS Slightly shake the connector vertically and horizontally. WIRE HARNESS Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and horizontally. HINT: The connector joint and fulcrum of the vibration are the major areas that should be checked thoroughly. see scheme 37: Checking Part And Sensor Vibration HEAT METHOD: When a malfunction seems to occur when the area in question is heated. Heat the component that is the possible cause of the malfunction with a hair dryer or similar device. Check if the malfunction occurs. NOTE: Do not heat to more than 60°C (140°F). Exceeding this temperature may damage components. Do not apply heat directly to the parts in the ECU. WATER SPRINKLING METHOD: When a malfunction seems to occur on a rainy day or in high-humidity. Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check if the malfunction occurs. NOTE: Never sprinkle water directly into the engine compartment. Indirectly change the temperature and humidity by spraying water onto the front of the radiator. Never apply water directly onto the electronic components. see scheme 38: Sprinkling Water Onto Vehicle HINT: If the vehicle has or had a water leakage problem, the leakage may have damaged the ECU or connections. Look for evidence of corrosion or short circuits. Proceed with caution during water tests. HIGH ELECTRICAL LOAD METHOD: When a malfunction seems to occur when the electrical load is excessive. Turn on the heater blower, headlight, rear window defogger and all other electrical loads. Check if the malfunction reoccurs.
  5. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART Look for output Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) (from the DTC checks) in the appropriate section's Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart. Use the chart to determine the trouble area and the proper inspection procedure. A description of each of the chart's columns is below. (Scheme 37): Turning On Heater Blower, Headlight, Rear Window Defogger And All Other Electrical Loads ITEM DESCRIPTION CHART Item Description DTC No. Indicates the diagnostic trouble code Detection Item Indicates the system or details of the problem Trouble Area Indicates the suspected areas of the problem See (refer to) Indicates the page where the inspection procedures for each circuit are to be found, or gives instruction for checking and repairs
  6. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE When a "Normal" code is output during a DTC check but the problem is still occurring, use the Problem Symptoms Table. The suspected areas (circuits or parts) for each problem symptom are in the table. The suspected areas are listed in order of probability. A description of each of the chart's columns is below. HINT: In some cases, the problem is not detected by the diagnostic system even though a problem symptom is present. It is possible that the problem is occurring outside the detection range of the diagnostic system, or that the problem is occurring in a completely different system. ITEM DESCRIPTION CHART Item Description Symptom - Suspected Area Indicates the circuit or part which needs to be checked See (refer to) Indicates the page where the flowchart for each circuit is located
  7. CIRCUIT INSPECTION A description of the main areas of each circuit inspection is below. ITEM DESCRIPTION CHART Item Description Description The major role, operation of the circuit and its component parts are explained. DTC No. DTC Detection Condition, Trouble Area Indicates the diagnostic trouble codes, diagnostic trouble code detection conditions, and trouble areas of a problem.

  1. BASIC INSPECTION WHEN MEASURING RESISTANCE OF ELECTRONIC PARTS Unless otherwise stated, all resistance measurements should be made at an ambient temperature of 20°C (68°F). Resistance measurements may be inaccurate if measured at high temperatures, i.e. immediately after the vehicle has been running. Measurements should be made after the engine has cooled down. HANDLING CONNECTORS When disconnecting a connector, first squeeze the mating halves tightly together to release the lock, and then press the lock claw and separate the connector. When disconnecting a connector, do not pull on the harnesses. Grasp the connector directly and separate it. Before connecting a connector, check that there are no deformed, damaged, loose or missing terminals. When connecting a connector, press firmly until it locks with a "click" sound. If checking a connector with a TOYOTA electrical tester, check the connector from the backside (harness side) using a mini test lead. NOTE: As a waterproof connector cannot be checked from the backside, check it by connecting a sub-harness. Do not damage the terminals by moving the inserted tester needle. (Scheme 38): Handling Connectors CHECKING CONNECTORS Checking when a connector is connected: Squeeze the connector together to confirm that they are fully connected and locked. Checking when a connector is disconnected: Check by pulling the wire harness lightly from the backside of the connector. Look for unlatched terminals, missing terminals, loose crimps or broken conductor wires. Check visually for corrosion, metallic or foreign matter and water, and bent, rusted, overheated, contaminated, or deformed terminals. (Scheme 39): Checking Connectors Checking the contact pressure of the terminal: Prepare a spare male terminal. Insert it into a female terminal, and check for ample tension when inserting and after full engagement. NOTE: When testing a gold-plated female terminal, always use a gold-plated male terminal. (Scheme 40): Checking Ample Tension REPAIR METHOD OF CONNECTOR TERMINAL If there is any foreign matter on the terminal, clean the contact point using an air gun or cloth. Never rub the contact point using sandpaper as the plating may come off. If there is abnormal contact pressure, replace the female terminal. If the male terminal is gold-plated (gold color), use a gold-plated female terminal; if it is silver-plated (silver color), use a silver-plated female terminal. Damaged, deformed, or corroded terminals should be replaced. If the terminal does not lock into the housing, the housing may have to be replaced. (Scheme 41): Checking Connector Terminal HANDLING OF WIRE HARNESS If removing a wire harness, check the wiring and clamping before proceeding so that it can be restored in the same way. Never twist, pull or slacken the wire harness more than necessary. The wire harness should never come into contact with a high temperature part, or rotating, moving, vibrating or sharp-edged parts. Avoid contact with panel edges, screw tips and other sharp items. (Scheme 42): Handling Of Wire Harness When installing parts, never pinch the wire harness. Never cut or break the cover of the wire harness. If it is cut or broken, replace it or repair it with vinyl tape.
  2. CHECK FOR OPEN CIRCUIT For an open circuit in the wire harness in (Scheme 1), check the resistance or voltage, as described below. (Scheme 43): Checking For Open Circuit Check the resistance. Disconnect connectors A and C, and measure the resistance between them. Standard resistance (Scheme 2) TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART Tester Connection Specified Condition Connector A terminal 1 - Connector C terminal 1 10 kohms or higher Connector A terminal 2 - Connector C terminal 2 Below 1 ohms HINT: Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness vertically and horizontally. (Scheme 44): Checking Resistance If the results match the examples above, an open circuit exists between terminal 1 of connector A and terminal 1 of connector C. Disconnect connector B and measure the resistance between the connectors. Standard resistance (Scheme 3) TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART Tester Connection Specified Condition Connector A terminal 1 - Connector B1 terminal 1 Below 1 ohms Connector B2 terminal 1 - Connector C terminal 1 10 kohms or higher If the results match the examples above, an open circuit exists between terminal 1 of connector B2 and terminal 1 of connector C. (Scheme 45): Measuring Resistance Check the voltage. In a circuit in which voltage is applied to the ECU connector terminal, an open circuit can be checked by conducting a voltage check. With each connector still connected, measure the voltage between the body ground and these terminals (in this order): 1) terminal 1 of connector A, 2) terminal 1 of connector B, and 3) terminal 1 of connector C. (Scheme 46): Checking Voltage Standard voltage (Scheme 4) TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART Tester Connection Specified Condition Connector A terminal 1 - Body ground 5 V Connector B terminal 1 - Body ground 5 V Connector C terminal 1 - Body ground Below 1 V If the results match the examples above, an open circuit exists in the wire harness between terminal 1 of connector B and terminal 1 of connector C.
  3. CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUIT If the wire harness is ground shorted (Scheme 5), locate the section by conducting a resistance check with the body ground (below). (Scheme 47): Checking For Short Circuit Check the resistance with the body ground. Disconnect connectors A and C, and measure the resistance. Standard resistance (Scheme 6) TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART Tester Connection Specified Condition Connector A terminal 1 - Body ground Below 1 ohms Connector A terminal 2 - Body ground 10 kohms or higher (Scheme 48): Checking Resistance With Body Ground HINT: Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness vertically and horizontally. If the results match the examples above, a short circuit exists between terminal 1 of connector A and terminal 1 of connector C. Disconnect connector B and measure the resistance. Standard resistance (Scheme 7) TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART Tester Connection Specified Condition Connector A terminal 1 - Body ground 10 kohms or higher Connector B2 terminal 1 - Body ground Below 1 ohms If the results match the examples above, a short circuit exists between terminal 1 of connector B2 and terminal 1 of connector C. (Scheme 49): Measuring Resistance
  4. CHECK AND REPLACE ECU NOTE: The connector should not be disconnected from the ECU. Perform the inspection from the backside of the connector on the wire harness side. When no measuring condition is specified, perform the inspection with the engine stopped and the power switch ON (IG). Check that the connectors are fully seated. Check for loose, corroded or broken wires. First, check the ECU ground circuit. If it is faulty, repair it. If it is normal, the ECU could be faulty. Temporarily replace the ECU with a normally functioning one and check if the symptoms occur. If the trouble symptoms disappear, replace the original ECU. Measure the resistance between the ECU ground terminal and body ground. Standard resistance: Below 1 ohms (Scheme 50): Checking ECU Disconnect the ECU connector. Check the ground terminal on the ECU side and wire harness side for bending, corrosion or foreign matter. Lastly, check the contact pressure of the female terminals. (Scheme 51): Checking Ground Terminal On ECU Side And Wire Harness Side
