4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
After a fuse is replaced
■
If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb
●
may need replacement. (→P. 493)
If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your
●
Toyota dealer.
If there is an overload in the circuits
■
The fuses are designed to blow before the entire wiring harness is damaged.
CAUTION
To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire
■
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may cause damage, and possibly a fire or injury.
Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than indicated, or use any
●
other object in place of a fuse.
Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent.
●
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.
This can cause extensive damage or even fire.
Do not modify fuses or the fuse box.
●

Never check or replace the fuses as there are high voltage parts and wiring
near the fuse box.
Doing so may cause electric shock, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
Before replacing fuses

Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
