REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF VACUUM 
HOSES
(1) To disconnect a vacuum hose, pull and twist 

from the end of the hose. Do not pull from the 
middle of the hose as this may cause damage.

(2) When disconnecting vacuum hoses, use tags to 

identify where they should be reconnected.

(3) After completing any hose related repairs, 

double check that the vacuum hoses are 
properly connected. The label under the hood 
shows the proper layout.

(4) When using a vacuum gauge, never force the 

hose onto a connector that is too large. If a hose 
has been stretched, it may leak air. Use a step-
down adapter if necessary.

(1) Use the formula below to calculate special 

torque values for situations where SST or an 
extension tool is combined with a torque wrench.
Formula:

T' = L2 / (L1 + L2) * T

NOTICE:
If an extension tool or SST is combined with 
a torque wrench and the wrench is used to 
tighten to a torque specification in this 
manual, the actual torque will be excessive 
and parts will be damaged.

2.

FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SRS AIRBAG AND 
FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY WITH 
PRETENSIONER
The FJ CRUISER is equipped with a Supplemental 
Restraint System (SRS).
CAUTION:
Failure to carry out the service operations in the 
correct sequence could cause the SRS to 
unexpectedly deploy during servicing and lead to 
serious injury. Furthermore, if a mistake is made 
when servicing the SRS, it is possible that the SRS 
may fail to operate properly. Before servicing 
(including removal or installation of parts, inspection 
or replacement), be sure to read the following 
section carefully.
(a) GENERAL NOTICE

(1) As malfunctions of the SRS are difficult to 

confirm, the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) 
become the most important source of 
information when troubleshooting. When 
troubleshooting the SRS, always check the 
DTCs before disconnecting the battery.
