Problem Symptoms Table

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Toyota 4Runner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If there are no DTCs output but the problem still occurs, check the circuits for each problem symptom in the order given in PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  and proceed to the relevant reference.

NOTE: When replacing the master cylinder solenoid, sensor, etc., turn the ignition switch off.

HINT:

Inspect the fuse and relay before investigating the suspected areas as shown in PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE .

Inspect each malfunctioning circuit in numerical order for the corresponding symptom.
