2016 Avalon Hybrid Limited - 12v battery continually drains. I read where it could be the MG CLT ac clutch relay going bad. I’m looking for a diagram for its location. The Dealer conveniently forgot to put ours back on when they were testing for parasitic drain. Please and thank you.

Page 342 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance ■ How to initialize the tire pressure warning system Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch off. Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation pressure level.
Page 343 ● A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer. ■ Replacing tires and wheels If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not reg- istered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly.
Page 344 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance ■ Low profile tires (18-inch tires) Generally, low profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire grip perfor- mance will be reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when compared to standard tires. Be sure to use snow tires or tire chains on snowy and/or icy roads and drive carefully at a speed appropriate for road and weather conditions.
Page 345 ● In the following cases, the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly. • If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used. • A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equip- ment) tire. • A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
Page 346 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance ■ The initialization operation ● Make sure to carry out initialization after adjusting the tire inflation pres- sure. Also, make sure the tires are cold before carrying out initialization or tire inflation pressure adjustment. ● If you have accidentally turned the engine switch to off during initializa- tion, it is not necessary to press the reset switch again as initialization will restart automatically when the engine switch has been turned to IGNITION ON mode for the next time.
Page 347 After performing initialization, the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute then stays on while driving. If the inflation pressure of each tire is still not displayed, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer. ■ Tire pressure warning system certification...
Page 348 Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns. Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear. ● Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota. ● Do not mix differently constructed tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply tires).
Page 349 When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may not operate properly.

Page 352 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance ■ Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following: ● Check only when the tires are cold. If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
Page 353 ● Used wheels ● Bent wheels that have been straightened Aluminum wheel precautions ● Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with your aluminum wheels. ● When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
Page 354 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance ■ When replacing wheels The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and trans- mitters must be installed.
Page 355 Because tire repair or replacement may affect the tire pressure warn- ing valves and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop. In addition, make sure to purchase your tire pressure warning valves and transmitters at your Toyota dealer.
