REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF VACUUM
HOSES
(1) 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.

(2) When disconnecting vacuum hoses, use tags to

identify where they should be reconnected.

(3) After completing any hose related repairs,

double check that the vacuum hoses are
properly connected. The label under the hood
shows the proper layout.

(4) 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.

(1) Use the formula below to calculate special

torque values for situations where SST or an
extension tool is combined with a torque wrench.
Formula:

T' = L2 / (L1 + L2) * T

NOTICE:
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
manual, the actual torque will be excessive
and parts will be damaged.

2.

FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SRS AIRBAG AND
FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY WITH
PRETENSIONER
The FJ CRUISER is equipped with a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS).
CAUTION:
Failure to carry out the service operations in the
correct sequence could cause the SRS to
unexpectedly deploy during servicing and lead to
serious injury. Furthermore, if a mistake is made
when servicing the SRS, it is possible that the SRS
may fail to operate properly. Before servicing
(including removal or installation of parts, inspection
or replacement), be sure to read the following
section carefully.
(a) GENERAL NOTICE

(1) As malfunctions of the SRS are difficult to

confirm, the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
become the most important source of
information when troubleshooting. When
troubleshooting the SRS, always check the
DTCs before disconnecting the battery.
