If Your Vehicle Will Not Start - Toyota Coaster 2015 Owner's Manual

If your vehicle will not start—

(a) Simple checks
Before making these checks, make sure
you have followed the correct starting pro-
cedure given in "How to start the engine"
in Section 3 and that you have sufficient
fuel.
If the engine is not turning over or is
turning over too slowly—
1. Check that the battery terminals are
tight and clean.
2. If the battery terminals are O.K., switch
on the interior light.
3. If the light is out, dim or goes out
when the starter is cranked, the battery
is discharged. You may try jump start-
ing. See "(c) Jump starting" for further
instructions.
If the light is O.K., but the engine still will
not start, it needs adjustment or repair.
Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair
shop.
NOTICE
Do not pull− or push−start the ve-
hicle. Your vehicle may suddenly
move when the engine starts, and
may damage itself or cause a colli-
sion. Also the catalytic converter may
overheat and become a fire hazard.

If the engine turns over at its normal
speed but will not start—
1. If you are starting the engine that has
died from an empty tank, you may
have needed to bleed the fuel system
before cranking the engine. See "(b)
Bleeding the fuel system" for further
instructions.
2. If the fuel system is O.K., but the en-
gine still will not start, it needs adjust-
ment or repair. Call a Toyota dealer or
qualified repair shop for assistance.
(b) Bleeding the fuel system
If you run out of fuel and the engine
dies, the engine may not restart after
refueling. In such case, operate the
priming pump until you feel more re-
sistance.
