If Your Engine Stalls While Driving; If You Cannot Increase The Engine Speed - Toyota 2002 Sequoia Owner's Manual

5. Start your engine in the normal way.
After starting, run it at about 2000 rpm
for several minutes with the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed.
6. Carefully disconnect the cables in the
exact reverse order: the negative cable
and then the positive cable.
7. Carefully dispose of the battery cover
cloths—they may now contain sulfuric
acid.
8. 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

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. Turn the ignition key to "ACC" or
"LOCK", and try starting the engine
again.
If the engine will not start, see "If your
vehicle will not start" on page 244 in this
section.
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
If the engine speed does not increase with
the accelerator pedal depressed down to
about the middle position, there may be a
problem somewhere in your electronic
throttle control system.
At this time, if you depress the accelera-
tor pedal more firmly and slowly, you can
drive you vehicle at low speeds. Have
your vehicle checked by your Toyota deal-
er as soon as possible.
Even if the abnormality of the electronic
throttle control system is corrected during
low speed driving, the system may not be
recovered until the engine is stopped and
the ignition key is turned to "ACC" or
"LOCK" position.
CAUTION
Be especially careful to prevent erro-
neous pedal operation.
