Preliminary Inspection

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2002 Toyota RAV4, 2002 Toyota Highlander, 2002 Toyota Camry, 2002 Lexus RX 300, and 2001 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Before testing the transaxle, ensure the fluid level is correct and the throttle and shift cables are properly adjusted. Ensure engine starts with the gearshift lever in the Park and Neutral positions, to ensure proper adjustment of PNP switch. If a problem is duplicated on a road test, and no mechanical malfunction is found, check for stored DTCs. See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
