4-2. Maintenance Emission inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs


Some states have vehicle emission inspection programs which include OBD (On Board Diagnostics) checks. The OBD system moni- tors the operation of the emission control system. ■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on


The OBD system determines that a problem exists somewhere in the emission control system. Your vehicle may not pass the I/ M test and may need to be repaired. Contact your Toyota dealer to service the vehicle.


■ Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test:


● When the battery is disconnected or discharged


Readiness codes that are set during ordinary driving are erased. Also, depending on your driving habits, the readiness codes may not be completely set.


● When the fuel tank cap is loose


The malfunction indicator lamp comes on as a temporary mal- function and your vehicle may not pass the I/M test.


■ When the malfunction indicator lamp goes off after several


driving trips The error code in the OBD system will not be cleared unless the vehicle is driven 40 or more times.


■ If your vehicle does not pass the I/M test


Contact your Toyota dealer to prepare the vehicle for re-testing.

4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance


CAUTION


The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may move suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death or serious injury, observe the following precautions. ■When working on the engine compartment


●Keep hands, clothing, and tools away from the moving fan and engine


drive belt.


●Be careful not to touch the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right


after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also be hot.


●Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper or rags, in the


engine compartment.


●Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the bat-


tery. Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.


●Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous


and corrosive sulfuric acid.


●Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage


painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water immediately. If you still experience discomfort, see a doctor.


●Do not touch the engine compartment when the electric cooling fan is


operating. The electric cooling fan may keep rotating for about 3 minutes even after the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position. With the engine switch in the “ON” position, the electric cooling fan may automatically start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is high. Be sure the engine switch is in the “LOCK” position and that the electric cooling fan is completely stopped when working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille.


■Safety glasses


Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from getting in the eyes.
