Using the 2004 Sequoia as thevehicle example, this article discuss-es basic brake system mechanicalservice (calipers, pads, discs), aswell as brake system-related sensorcircuits for vehicles equipped withABS with TRAC & VSC systems. Dueto space constraints, the ABS serviceis not included in this article.Sensors involving yaw rate, decelera-tion, skid control and master cylin-der pressure are discussed.

FRONT BRAKE CALIPERSThe 2004 Sequoia features four-pis-

ton front calipers and single-pistonrear calipers.

Since the front calipers featureopposing pistons, the caliper bodies

are rigidly-mounted, and are securedwith two mounting bolts. The rearcalipers are the sliding type, locatedon fixed-mounted torque plates.

FRONT CALIPER SERVICEUsing SST 09023-00100 (or equiva-

lent), disconnect the brake line.Remove the two caliper mountingbolts and remove the caliper.Remove the clip, two pad pins andanti-rattle spring, and remove thetwo pads and all four anti-squealshims.

Remove the cylinder boot set ringsand boots using a flat-blade screw-driver. In order to remove the pis-tons, first fabricate a spacer plate(wood or similar material) that is

6.70 inches wide by 1.97 inchesdeep and 1.10 inches thick (170mmx 50mm x 28mm), featuring angle-cut corners on one side of the platedepth as shown in the illustration.

Insert a brake pad on one side(against one pair of pistons), andinsert the wood spacer between thepad and the exposed opposite-sidepistons.

With the spacer plate positionedwith the angle-cut corners facing thetop of the caliper, use compressedair (via the brake line inlet port) toalternately push one pair of pistonsout of their bores. Remove the brakepad and force the remaining two pis-tons out of their bores, again usingcompressed air, with the wood spac-

er in place. Once the pistons havebeen removed, use a flat-bladescrewdriver to remove the pistonseals.

Clean and inspect the caliperbores. If the bores are in good con-dition (not rusted, pitted or scored),the caliper may be reassembled usingnew pistons, seals, boots and bootset rings. Always install new bleedvalves, and always use new brakeline fitting crush washers and bolts.

The 2004 Sequoia front brake calipers feature a four-piston design.

With the wood spacer in place,inject compressed air throughthe brake fluid inlet port.

Make a wood spacer plate withangle-cut corners. This will pro-vide a stopping surface for thepistons as they are pushed out oftheir bores with compressed air.

Remove the piston set ringsand boots.

Measuring rotor thickness must be done with a quality, properly cal-ibrated micrometer. When measuring a used rotor, measure about10mm or so inboard from the outer edge.

NOTE: Torque values are as follows:

a. Caliper mounting bolts 90 ft-lbf(123 N-m)b. Brake line fitting to caliper 11 ft-lbf(15 N-m)c. Wheel 83 ft-lbf (110 N-m)

INSPECT PADSIf the existing pads are being con-

sidered for re-use, inspect the pads forcracks, signs of uneven wear and padthickness. Pad standard thickness is0.453 in. (11.5mm). Minimum padthickness is 0.039 in. (1.0mm). Ifthickness is less than the minimum, orif the pad(s) show signs of unevenwear, cracking, glazing or other dam-age, replace the pads as a completeset (never mix worn and new pads).NOTE: Whenever pad replacement isrequired, it is always advisable toreplace both right and left side pads asa complete axle set.

BRAKE DISC INSPECTIONTemporarily fasten the brake disc

to the hub with three wheel nuts.Using a micrometer, measure discthickness at a minimum of threeequidistant locations. Always meas-ure at a spot about 0.39 in. (10mm)inboard from the disc edge, to avoidplacing the micrometer on a buildupof rust. Be sure to measure withinthe area of pad contact. Standarddisc thickness is 1.102 in. (28.0mm).

Minimum thickness is 1.024 in.(26.0mm). If disc thickness is at theminimum or less, the disc must bereplaced.

Using a dial indicator (on a standthat is rigidly mounted to the sus-pension upright), measure discrunout. The indicator plunger shouldbe placed about 0.39 in. (10mm)from the disc’s outer edge, andshould be positioned with about0.050 in. preload. Then zero thegauge and slowly rotate the disc afull 360 degrees, while monitoringthe gauge. Maximum allowable

runout is 0.0028 in. (0.07mm). Ifrunout exceeds this minimum, eitherreplace the disc or re-surface thedisc only using an “on-car” brakelathe. Once resurfaced, measure discthickness again to verify that it isgreater than the specified minimumthickness.

Also, if disc runout is outside thespecified range, check the hub forrunout as well. A worn hub bearingmay be the cause of excessive

runout, so it’s important to isolatethe source of the runout problem(this may involve the hub, the disc,or both).

It is possible that very smallrunout variances in the hub and discmay result in a “stack-up” of toler-ance, and may be corrected by repo-sitioning the disc onto the hub in adifferent clock position. First, markone hub stud and its correspondinghole in the disc. Next, remove thehub nuts and disc, and re-locate thedisc onto the hub by aligning themarked bolt hole in the disc to the

Measure brake pad thickness,in addition to inspecting foruneven wear, cracking, glazingor other damage.

With pistons removed, use ascrewdriver to remove the pis-ton seals.

A fixed-position caliper (as opposed to a sliding caliper that featuresa single piston) captures the pads using locating pins. Make surethat the pin holes in the caliper and pad backing plates are clean andfree of debris.

Using a flat-blade screwdriver,remove the cylinder boot from thecaliper. Place a bundled shop ragbetween the piston and opposingcaliper body, and use compressed airto push the piston from its bore.Never place your fingers in the pathof the piston, as severe injury canoccur if the piston pops out unex-

pectedly. The folded-up shop rag willabsorb the energy of the moving pis-ton.

Using a screwdriver, remove thepiston seal from the caliper. Removethe pin bushings and boots. Alwaysuse new bushings and boots beforereinstalling a caliper.

REAR BRAKE PADSMeasure pad thickness using a ruler

or other straight-line measuringdevice. Standard rear pad thicknessis 0.39 in. (10.0mm). Minimum padthickness is 0.039 in. (1.0mm). Inaddition to thickness, check the padsfor uneven wear, cracking, glazing,etc.

REAR BRAKE DISCSTemporarily fasten a rear disc to its

hub using three wheel nuts. Using amicrometer, measure disc thicknessat the area of pad contact. Standardthickness is 0.709 in. (18.0mm).Minimum allowable thickness is0.611 in. (16.0mm). Replace the discif at or less than the minimum thick-ness. Also inspect the disc for scor-ing or uneven wear. The disc may besaved by resurfacing on a qualitybrake lathe. If the disc is resurfaced,re-measure disc thickness.

Using a dial indicator, measure discrunout, with the indicator plungerlocated 0.39 in. (10mm) from thedisc outside edge. If disc runout isgreater than 0.0039 in. (0.1mm),check the bearing play in the axialdirection. If the bearing play andaxle hub runout are not abnormal,you may be able to adjust discrunout using an on-car lathe. If nec-essary, disc runout may be reduced

Before placing a new or resurfaced rotor into service, take the timeto thoroughly clean the disc surfaces to remove any oils or machin-ing residue. Hot soapy water and a nylon brush works well.

Use a screwdriver to removethe piston seal.

With a folded shop rag placedbetween the piston and caliperbody, use compressed air (fedthrough the hydraulic fluid inletport) to push the piston from itsbore.

BRAKE SYSTEM RELATEDSENSOR CIRCUITS

While not a direct part of the brakehydraulic system, there are severalABS/TRAC VSC-related circuits thatimpact vehicle performance duringbraking. It’s a good idea to becomefamiliar with these circuits.

VSC-RELATED ZERO POINTCALIBRATION & SENSORCHECK

Zero point calibration must be per-formed after replacing any of the fol-lowing components on 2003 - 2006model year Sequoia vehicles:

• Vehicle skid control computer• Steering angle sensor• Master cylinder pressure sensor• Yaw rate sensor• Deceleration sensor

Zero point calibration of the abovecomponents must also be performedwhen replacing or repairing steering-related parts and when changing thevehicle’s straight-ahead condition viatoe adjustment.

REQUIRED SSTsToyota Diagnostic Tester Kit — P/N

TOY220036All components in this kit are

required. 12 megabyte diagnostictester program card (P/N 01002593)with version 13.3a software (orlater) is required.

CAN Interface Module Kit — P/N01002744

CAUTION:While performing zero point cali-

bration, do not tilt, move or shakethe vehicle. The vehicle must main-tain a stationary position. Do notstart the engine. Be sure to performcalibration on a level surface (withinan inclination of 1%).

Whenever replacing the skid controlECU, registration of the new ECUmust first be performed.

Step 1For 2WD Sequoia models, registra-

tion is already complete. Proceed toStep 2.

For 4WD models with a transferlever, after turning the ignitionswitch ON, with the shifter in the“P” position, move the transfer leverto the “L4” position. For vehicles

equipped with a push button selec-tor, place the transmission in neu-tral, press the “L4” button and thenplace the transmission in the “P”position. At this time, the VSC sys-tem buzzer will sound for three sec-onds indicating that registration iscomplete. Now turn the ignitionswitch OFF and proceed to Step 2.

Step 2Perform master cylinder pressure,

yaw rate and deceleration sensorzero point calibration.

a. Connect the Toyota Diagnostictester to the DLC3.

b. Move the shift lever to the “P”position.

c. Turn the ignition switch to the“ON” position.

d. Place the Diagnostic Tester intoSignal Check mode under theABS/VSC menu.

e. Keep the vehicle in a stationaryposition on a level surface for fourseconds or more.

f. For 2WD models, press the TRACOFF switch three times within threeseconds without pressing the brakepedal.

g. For 4WD models, press the cen-ter differential lock (TRAC OFF)switch three times within three sec-onds without pressing the brakepedal.

h. Check that the VSC buzzersounds for three seconds. If the VSCbuzzer does not sound, repeat thezero point calibration procedures. Ifthe buzzer still does not sound,check the VSC buzzer circuit.

i. Zero point of master cylinderpressure, yaw rate and decelerationsensor is complete. Proceed to Step3.

Inspect the disc for runoutusing a dial indicator. Be sure toplace the indicator plunger at aposition 10mm from the out-side disc edge.

Measure rear disc thicknessusing a micrometer.

DELTA S SENSORCIRCUIT

The Delta S sensor isalso known as the pedalstroke speed sensor.When DTC C1247/47 isoutput, this indicatesthat output turns 4.7Vor more or 0.2V or lessper 100msec; or whenoutput does not returnto 2.5V even when500msec or more elaps-es, in spite of no changein brake operation.

S sensor circuit, the skid con-trol ECU or any combination ofthese areas.

In order to check the outputvalue of the Delta S sensor,connect the Toyota DiagnosticTester to the DLC3. Turn theignition switch to the ON posi-tion, and run the engine untilengine speed reaches 3,000rpm, and then return enginespeed back to idle (HINT: Revthe engine to ensure sufficientvacuum).

Select the DATA LIST mode onthe hand-held tester. The pedalstroke sensor should show a mini-mum of 0V and a maximum of 5.1V.Normal condition is about 2.0V with-out the brake pedal depressed.

NOTE: The result appears on thetester after a brief delay because atime lag occurs during this measure-ment with the hand-held tester. If asignal from the Delta S sensor isbeing sent between sampling, theresult does not appear on the tester,so be sure to perform this measure-ment two or three times.

Check that the brake pedal acceler-ation value of the Delta S sensor dis-played on the hand-held testerchanges, alternatively increasing thebrake pedal stroke. The value shouldchange as the brake pedal isdepressed and released. With thepedal depressed, voltage should beapproximately 1.9V. When the pedalis released, voltage should be about4.5V. The value should return toabout 2.0V after the pedal isreleased.

The maximum voltage depends onpedal stroke speed, but should notexceed 4.5V or fall below 0.2V.

If Delta S voltage is not as speci-

fied, check for an open or short cir-cuit in the harness and connectorbetween the Delta S sensor and theskid control ECU. If no open or shortis found, inspect the Delta S sensorterminal voltage at the VCP terminal.With the Delta S sensor disconnected,turn the ignition switch ON andmeasure voltage between the VCP ter-minal and body ground. Voltageshould read 5V. If not, replace theskid control ECU. If this voltage checkis OK, replace the brake booster.

YAW RATE SENSOR CIRCUIT

A DTC C1234/34 indicates thateither a) power output of 4.65V ormore or 0.25V or less continues for0.1 second or more; or b) the differ-ence between the actual output of

the yaw rate sensor and the outputvalue calculated from the other sen-sors’ output continues to be large. Ineither case, the trouble lies with theyaw rate sensor or its circuit.

The first step in inspecting the yawrate/deceleration sensor is to checkits installation. The sensor should betight (bolt mounting torque value is3.7 ft-lbf (5 N-m), and check to makesure that the sensor is not tilted.

Next, check the output value of theyaw rate sensor. Remove the twobolts and the yaw rate sensor assem-bly, with the harness still connected.Connect the hand-held tester to theDLC3. Turn the ignition switch ONand turn the hand-held tester mainswitch on. Select the DATA LISTmode on the hand-held tester andcheck that the value of the YAW RATE

With the yaw rate sensordetached but still connected toits harness, hold the sensor ver-tical to the ground and turn thesensor to the right and left tocheck for value changes.

Check the yaw rate sensor forcorrect installation.

Read voltage at the Delta S har-ness connector’s terminal VCP.

Delta S sensor value should change asthe brake pedal is depressed andreleased. Voltage should not fall below0.2V when the pedal is depressed, norshould it exceed 4.5V when the pedalis released.

Check for an open or short circuitin the harness and connectorbetween the yaw rate sensor and theskid control ECU.

Check for voltage between termi-nals VYS and GYAW of the yaw ratesensor. Disconnect the yaw rate sen-sor from its connector. Turn the igni-tion switch ON. Measure voltagebetween terminals VYS and GYAW ofthe yaw rate sensor harness-sideconnector. Voltage should be 10 to14V. If voltage is not within thisrange, replace the skid control ECU.

DECELERATION CIRCUITYaw rate and deceleration is moni-

tored by the same sensor. In order tocheck the deceleration circuit, verifythat the sensor is correctly mounted(bolts tight to value and sensor nottilted). Next, remove the two mount-ing bolts and with the sensor stillconnected to its harness, connect theToyota Diagnostic Tester to the DLC3.Turn the ignition switch ON and turnthe hand-held tester main switch on.Select the DATA LIST mode on thehand-held tester. Check that the

value of the DECELERAT SENS dis-played on the tester changes. Placethe sensor vertical to the ground andthen tilt the sensor frontward andrearward. Check that the value of theDECELERAT SENS2 displayed on thehand-held tester changes. Normalcondition is approximately 0 +/- 0.13G while stationary.

STEERING ANGLE SENSORCheck the output of the steering

angle sensor. Connect the ToyotaDiagnostic Tester to the vehicle’sDLC3. Turn the ignition ON and turnthe tester’s main switch on. Selectthe DATA LIST mode on the hand-held tester and select STEERING ANG.Check that the steering wheel turn-ing angle value of the steering anglesensor displayed on the hand-heldtester changes as the steering wheelis turned. NOTE: Turning the steeringwheel to the left increases value;turning the steering wheel to theright decreases value.

If DTC codes C1231/31 or C1235/35

are still present, check and replacethe skid control ECU. If the sensorvalue change is not correct, checkfor an open or short circuit in theharness and connector between thesteering angle sensor, translate ECUand the skid control ECU.

INSPECTING THE BRAKEINHIBIT RELAY

This will involve checking voltagebetween terminal 1 and 3 of thebrake inhibit relay and body ground.Remove the brake inhibit relay fromthe connector. Turn the ignitionswitch ON. Measure the voltagebetween terminal 1 of the brakeinhibit relay harness side connectorand body ground. Voltage should be10 - 14V. Next, measure the voltagebetween terminal 3 of the brakeinhibit relay harness side connectorand body ground while the brakepedal is depressed. Voltage should be8 - 14V.

When checking voltage be-tween body ground and termi-nal 3 of the brake inhibit relayharness side connector, thebrake pedal must be depressed.

When checking for valuechanges in the decelerationsensor, tilt the sensor rearwardand forward (with sensor dis-mounted but still connected toits harness).

Toyota hybrid vehicles are orange incolor. Gauges will vary, but the criti-cal point to remember is that if youencounter an orange cable, do nottouch or tamper with it. Seriousinjury can result when untrained per-sonnel attempt to handle thesecables. If it’s orange, keep yourhands off!

The THS-II (Toyota Hybrid SystemII) is a type of powertrain that fea-tures a combination of two types ofmotive forces, such as an internalcombustion engine and an electricMotor Generator. This system is char-acterized by skillful use of two typesof motive forces according to drivingconditions. It maximizes thestrengths of each of the motiveforces and complements their weak-nesses. This provides a seamlessblend of acceleration and decelera-tion without noticeable shift points.As a result, it can achieve a highlyresponsive level of performance aswell as a dramatic reduction in fuelconsumption and exhaust gas emis-sions. The THS-II can be broadlydivided into two systems: the serieshybrid system and the parallel hybridsystem.

NOTE: MG1 is Motor Generator No.1. This starts the engine and then isdriven by the engine, generatingelectricity to drive the MG2, orcharge the HV battery, depending onvehicle status.

MG2 is Motor Generator No. 2. Thisuses electricity or generates electric-ity by reversing the current throughthe motor generators.

Series Parallel Hybrid System:The Series Parallel Hybrid System

drives the wheels with the electricmotors and the gas/petrol engine,yielding electricity via the generatorto self-charge the battery.

With the Series Parallel HybridSystem, it is possible to drive thewheels using the dual sources ofpower (electric motors and/orgas/petrol engine), as well as togenerate electricity while running onthe electric motors.

The system runs the car on powerfrom the electric motors only, or byusing both the gas/petrol engine andthe electric motors together, depend-ing on driving conditions. Since thegenerator is integrated into the sys-tem, the battery can be chargedwhile the car is running.

This system takes advantage of theenergy-efficient electric motors whenthe car runs in the low speed range,and calls on the gas/petrol engine

when the car runs in the higherspeed range. In other words, the sys-tem can control the dual sources ofpower for optimum energy-efficientoperation under any driving condi-tions.

THE HYBRID TRANSAXLECommonly referred to as a CVT

(Continuously Variable Transmission),the Toyota hybrid transmissionessentially provides the driver withthe experience of smooth accelera-tion and deceleration, without notic-ing specific shift points.

While this system efficiently com-bines and operates the two types ofmotive forces (engine and MG2), thebasic motive force is provided by theengine. The motive force of theengine is divided into two areas: themotive force applied to the wheelsby the planetary gear unit in thehybrid transaxle, and the motiveforce used to operate the MG1 as agenerator.

The hybrid transaxle, which con-tains the MG1, MG2 and the plane-tary gear unit, uses these compo-nents to achieve a smooth drive real-ized through seamless shifting.

A computer-controlled planetarygear unit has been adopted tomechanically link the front wheelsand MG2 via gears and a chain. Todisengage the motive force in theneutral position, the shift positionsensor outputs an N position signalto turn off all the power transistorsin the inverter (which connects theMG1 and MG2). As a result, the oper-ation of MG1 and MG2 shut down,rendering the motive forces at thewheels to zero. In this condition,even if the MG1 is rotated by theengine or MG2 is rotated by the

drive wheels, no generation of elec-tricity occurs because both MG1 andMG2 are inactive. As a result, thestate of charge of the HV batterydecreases as the shift positionremains in the N position.

BASIC OPERATIONThe THS-II system controls the fol-

lowing modes in order to achieve themost efficient operations to matchreal-time driving conditions:

1. Supply of electrical power fromthe HV battery to MG2 provides theforce to drive the wheels.

2. While the wheels are being driv-en by the engine via the planetarygears, MG1 is rotated by the engine(via the planetary gears), in order tosupply the generated electricity toMG2 and the battery.

3. MG1 is rotated by the engine viathe planetary gears in order tocharge the HV battery, or freewheels,depending on operating status.

4. When the vehicle decelerates,kinetic energy from the wheels isrecovered and converted into electri-cal energy, which is used to recharge

the HV battery by means of MG2.

The HV ECU controls hybrid opera-tion according to driving conditions.However, when the HV battery stateof charge (SOC) is low, the HV bat-tery is then charged by the engine asit turns MG1.

As a result, the system achieves fargreater fuel economy compared toconventional-engine-equipped vehi-cles, and at a reduced level ofexhaust gas emissions. In addition,this revolutionary powertrain haseliminated the constraints that are

REGENERATIVE BRAKEThe regenerative brake function operates MG2 as a gen-

erator while the vehicle is decelerating or braking, andstores this energy in the HV battery. At the same time, itutilizes the operating resistance which the MG2 exertsduring the generation of electricity as a braking force.

As on the 2003 Prius, the 2004 Prius utilizes shift-by-wire technology. This is a “link-less” type that does notuse a shift cable. Instead, a shift position sensor in thetransmission detects the shift position and sends a sig-nal to the HV ECU. Upon receiving this signal, the HVECU produces the respective shift positions. When thedriver presses the parking switch (located on top of theshifter), the “P” position control actuates the shift con-trol actuator located in the hybrid transaxle in order tomechanically lock the counter-driven gear, whichengages the parking lock.

The 2004 Prius also features a link-less acceleratorpedal system called ETCS-I (Electronic Throttle ControlSystem-Intelligent). This features an accelerator pedalposition sensor and a throttle position sensor to detect

FUNCTION OF THS-II MAIN COMPONENTS

(Concept is either Motor or Generator)

HYBRID TRANSAXLE MG1Rotated by the engine, MG1 generates high-voltage

electricity in order to operate MG2 or to charge the HVbattery. MG1 also functions as a starter for the engine.

HYBRID TRANSAXLE MG2Driven by electrical power from MG1 or the HV bat-

tery, MG2 provides motive force for the drive wheels.During braking, or when the accelerator pedal is notdepressed, MG2 generates electricity to recharge the HVbattery.

HYBRID TRANSAXLE PLANETARY GEAR UNITThe hybrid transaxle planetary gear unit distributes

the engine’s drive force as needed to directly drive thewheels and the generator. See chart on page 22.

HV BATTERYThis special HV battery supplies electric power to the

MG2 during start-off, acceleration, and uphill driving.The battery is recharged during braking or when theaccelerator pedal is not depressed.

INVERTER ASSEMBLYThe inverter assembly is a device that converts the

high-voltage DC HV battery power into AC (MG1 andMG2) and vice versa (converts AC into DC).

A Boost Converter boosts or lowers the maximumhigh-voltage of the HV battery.

A DC-DC Converter drops the maximum high-voltagein order to supply electricity to body electrical compo-nents, as well as to recharge the auxiliary battery.

An A/C Inverter converts the nomi-nal DC high-voltage of the HV bat-tery to AC and supplies power tooperate the electric inverter com-pressor of the A/C (air conditioning)system.

Both Toyota models (2004 Priusand 2006 Highlander HV) feature airconditioning compressors with inte-gral high-voltage alternating currentmotors. This allows powering the airconditioning compressor with a high-voltage electric motor for furtherimprovements in vehicle efficiency.

HV ECU(The HV ECU is also known as the

THS-ECU on the Highlander HV).The Hybrid Vehicle ECU receives

information from each sensor, as wellas from the ECM, battery ECU, skidcontrol ECU and EPS ECU. Based onthis information, the required torqueand output power is calculated. TheHV ECU sends the calculated resultto the ECM, inverter assembly, bat-tery ECU and skid control ECU.

ECMThe ECM activates the ETCSi in

accordance with the target engine

speed and the required engine motiveforce received from the HV ECU.

BATTERY ECUThe battery ECU monitors the

charging condition of the HV battery(slightly different on the HighlanderHV, which features an analog-to-digi-tal “smart unit”).

SKID CONTROL ECUThe skid control ECU controls the

regenerative brake that is affectedby the MG2 and the hydraulic brakeso that the total braking force equalsthat of a conventional vehicle that isequipped with hydraulic brakes only.Also, the skid control ECU performsbrake system control (ABS with EBD,Brake Assist, and Enhanced VSC; orVDIM on the Highlander HV). TheVDIM, or vehicle Dynamic IntegratedManagement unit, bundles the logicfor better control during accelerationand deceleration to avoid any poten-tial hesitation issues.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITIONSENSOR

The accelerator pedal position sen-sor converts the accelerator angle

into an electrical signal and outputsthis signal to the HV ECU.

SHIFT POSITION SENSORThe shift position sensor converts

the shift position into an electricalsignal and outputs this to the HVECU.

On the 4WD-1 system (2006Highlander HV, as an example), anMGR (Motor Generator Rear) is provid-ed in the rear drive unit. MGR, whichis powered by the electricity fromMG1 or the HV battery, drives the rearwheels in accordance with drivingconditions. During deceleration, MGRfunctions as a generator and chargesthe HV battery as needed.

The MG1, MG2 and MGR are com-pact, lightweight and highly efficientalternating current permanent mag-net synchronous type motors.

FEATURES OF4WD-I SYSTEM

On a slippery road surface, the skidcontrol ECU calculates the requiredtotal motive force and the torquedistribution between the front andrear wheels, and transmits this signal

to the THS ECU. Upon receivingthese signals, the THS ECU appropri-ately drives the front and rear wheelsin order to achieve traction perform-ance while ensuring driving stability.

As a rule, the system deactivates thedriving of the rear wheels during nor-

mal driving to ensure fuel economy. Ifthe vehicle is being driven on a slip-pery road surface, accelerates or makesa tight turn, the skid control ECUdetects the conditions of the vehiclebased on the signals provided by thesensors. The skid control ECU calcu-lates the total required motive forceand the torque distribution betweenthe front and rear wheels and trans-mits the signals to the THS ECU. TheTHS ECU then allows the front and rearwheels to be driven. When the vehicledecelerates, the kinetic energy isrecovered from the front and rearwheels, is converted into electricalenergy, and is used for recharging theHV battery by means of MG2 and MGR.

HIGHLANDER HV P310TRANSAXLE

This hybrid transaxle consists pri-marily of MG1, MG2, a compoundgear unit (which consists of a motorspeed reduction planetary gear unit

and a power split planetary gearunit), a counter gear unit and a dif-ferential gear unit.

The engine, MG1 and MG2 aremechanically joined via the com-pound gear unit. The compound gearunit contains a motor speed reduc-tion planetary gear unit and a powersplit planetary gear unit. The motorspeed reduction planetary gear unit,whose purpose is to reduce motorspeed, is used to enable the high-speed, high-output MG2 to adaptoptimally to the power split plane-tary gear unit. The power split plane-tary gear unit splits the motive forceof the engine in two ways: one todrive the wheels, and the other todrive the MG1, allowing the MG1 toact as a generator.

NOTE: The Prius gearset featuresone planetary gearset, while theHighlander HV features two planetarygearsets (one for reducing speed andtorque needed for MG2, allowing adownsizing of the MG2). This com-

pound planetary gearset is a notabledevelopment, as this adds a motor

speed reduction planetary gear unitto the system.

HV BATTERYThe 2006 Highlander HV battery is

a sealed nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) assembly. This HV battery has ahigh power density, is lightweightand offers longevity to match thecharacteristics of the THS-II system.The HV battery consists of 240 cells(eight cells x 30 modules) with anominal voltage of 288V (240 cells x1.2V). The HV battery is mountedunder the rear seat and is split intothree sections, separated by the seatrails.

BLEEDING THE POWERSTEERING SYSTEM

Check the fluid level. Jack up thefront of the vehicle and support itwith jack stands. With the engineoff, turn the steering wheel slowlyfrom lock to lock several times. Lowerthe vehicle and start the engine. Runthe engine at idle for a few minutes.With the engine idling, turn thewheel to the left or right to full lock,and hold the wheel at full lock fortwo to three seconds. Next, turn thewheel to the opposite full lock posi-tion and hold it there for two tothree seconds. Repeat this severaltimes. Stop the engine and check thepower steering reservoir for fluidfoaming or emulsification. If the sys-tem must be bled twice because offoaming or emulsification, check forfluid leaks in the system.

When checking fluid level, keep thevehicle on a level surface. With theengine stopped, check the fluid levelin the oil reservoir. If necessary, addfluid (ATF Dexron II or III). If thefluid is cold, check that the level is

within the COLD LEVEL range. If it ishot, check that it is within the HOTLEVEL range. To check hot level, startthe engine and run it at idle. Turnthe steering wheel from lock to lockseveral times to raise fluid tempera-ture (in the hot level range, fluidtemperature should be 167 - 176degrees Fahrenheit. With the engineidling, measure the fluid level in theoil reservoir. Stop the engine, wait afew minutes and re-measure fluidlevel.

With the engine idling and thevalve fully open, turn the steeringwheel to the full lock position (rightor left). At this point, minimum fluidpressure should be 1,209 psi. Do notmaintain the lock position for morethan 10 seconds. Once fluid pressurehas been checked, disconnect the SSTand connect the pressure feed tubeassembly to the vane pump assembly,and bleed the power steering system.

Next, check steering effort. Centerthe steering wheel and remove thesteering wheel pad. Start the engineand run it at idle. Measure the steer-ing effort in both directions.Steering effort should be 53 in.-lbfor less. Torque the steering wheel setnut to a value of 37 ft.-lbf andinstall the steering wheel pad.

NOTE: When checking steeringeffort, be aware of tire type, tireinflation pressure and tire contactsurface, as these factors can influ-ence steering effort. Make sure thattire pressure is correct and avoidperforming this check on rough sur-faces such as gravel.

POWER STEERING VANEPUMP ASSEMBLY

The 2004 4Runner features a vane-type power steering pump, driven by

the engine’s serpentine drive belt. If pump service is required, remove

the vane pump following the servicemanual procedures. With the vanepump secured in a vise, check thatthe pump rotates smoothly withoutabnormal noise. Using a beam-typetorque wrench, check rotatingtorque, which should be 2.4 in.-lbf(0.28 N-m) or less.

Remove the vane pump housing oilseal using a screwdriver with a vinyltape wrapped around its tip. Be care-ful not to damage the vane pumphousing front.

Using a micrometer, measure thevane pump shaft diameter. Using acaliper gauge or bore gauge, measurethe bushing inner diameter in thefront housing. Subtract the bushinginside diameter from the shaft’souter diameter to determine oilclearance. Standard clearance is0.0012 - 0.0020 in. Maximum clear-ance is 0.0028 in. If clearance isgreater than the allowable maximum,replace the shaft and the front vanepump housing.

Inspect the vane pump rotor andvane pump plates. Using a microme-ter, measure the height, thicknessand length of the 10 vane plates.Minimum plate height is 0.33858 in.(8.6mm). Minimum plate thickness is0.05500 in. (1.397mm). Minimumplate length is 0.59020 in.(14.991mm). Replace any plates that

do not meet the minimum specifica-tions. If one or more plates requirereplacement, it is suggested that all10 plates be replaced.

Using a feeler gauge, measure theclearance between the vane pumprotor groove and the vane plate inall 10 locations. Maximum clearanceis 0.00130 in. (0.033mm). If clear-ance is greater, replace the plate(s)and/or rotor. NOTE: Be sure toreplace the plate(s) and rotor withunits that feature the same markthat is stamped on the cam ring.

FLOW CONTROL VALVECoat the flow control valve with

clean power steering fluid and checkthat it falls smoothly into the flowcontrol valve bore by its own weight.Next, check the flow control valvefor leakage. Close one of the holesand apply 57 - 71 psi of compressedair into the opposite-side hole, andconfirm that air does not exit theend holes. If it is necessary toreplace the flow control valve,replace with a valve that featuresthe same reference letter that ismarked on the front housing (markA, B, C, D, E or F).
