If Your Engine Stalls While Driving; If You Cannot Increase The Engine Speed - Toyota LAND CRUISER 78 series Owner's Manual

5. Diesel-powered vehicles only:
Charge the discharged battery with
jumper cable connected for approxi-
mately 5 minutes. At this time, run the
engine in the vehicle with the booster
battery at about 2000 rpm with the ac-
celerator pedal lightly depressed.
6. Start your engine in the normal way.
After starting, run it at about 2000 rpm
for several minutes with the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed.
7. Carefully disconnect the cables in the
exact reverse order: the negative cable
and then the positive cable.
8. Carefully dispose of the battery cover
cloths-they may now contain sulfuric
acid.
9. If removed, replace all the battery vent
plugs.
If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent (for example, lights left on),
you should have it checked.

If your engine stalls while driving ...
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try starting the engine again.
If the engine will not start, see "If you·
vehicle will not start".

CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the pow-
er assist for the brakes and steering
will not work so steering and braking
will be much harder than usual.
If you cannot increase the
engine speed
(1 HD-FTE engine)
If the engine speed does not increase
when the accelerator pedal is depressed,
there may be a problem somewhere in the
electronic engine control system. Stop the
vehicle and contact your Toyota dealer or
take your vehicle carefully, since the ve-
hicle performance will be lower than nor-
mal, to your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
Even if the abnormality in the electronic
engine control system is corrected during
low speed driving, the system may not
recover until the engine is stopped and
the ignition key is turned to the "ACC" or
"LOCK" position.
