This is a great resource thread. I'm going to stick it and lock it. If you would like to add a TSB PM me and I'll do it or unlock it for you. By locking it I'm avoiding this becoming a "discussion thread" and leaving it as an information thread.

Thank-you CBR GUY IA

I saw a sticky somewhere that had the TSBS, but you had to pay for the whole thing..

Here are all the tsbs and info for the 2003 4.0..

These are the copied/pasted bulletins. These bulletins don't have the pictures with them. It would take thousands of hours to save each picture to my computer, upload the picture then link them in the correct place..Not even consdering the time it would take to figure out where each picture goes.
Without the pictures the bulletins and service information is incomplete. The flow charts, most Vin break points, etc are mostly listed in the pictures. Consider this general information. If you want want to view the bulletin in its entirety I would HIGHLY recommened a subscription to ALLDATA. They list all models for the specific year and model build. They also list the OEM service procedure in it's entirety. on top of that it has a very easy interface and even lists how long a job takes. Imagine taking your car to the dealer. They call you and tell you that your fuel injectors need replaced. They want to charge you $1000 labor plus parts. You jump on alldata find out that it only takes 3 hours to do the job. Basically 3 hours repair plus diag and they "claim" $1000 in labor. IT WILL PAY FOR ITSELF in one single service visit.

Introduction

If a creak tick or rattle noise is heard at the top or bottom of the windshield the source of the noise may be the two windshield stoppers bonded to the top of the windshield or the windshield retainers bonded to the lower edge of the windshield. This bulletin provides the recommended repair procedure to eliminate these types of noises from the windshield area.

NOTE Some vehicles have both stoppers and retainers while others may only have stoppers at the top of the windshield. Use the chart in this bulletin to determine the location of the windshield locating pins.

Pin Locations

Repair Procedure

Upper Windshield Glass Stoppers:

1. Remove both sun visors and both A-pillar garnishes and then carefully lower the front of the headliner to gain access to the windshield stoppers (refer to the appropriate model year Repair Manual for the proper procedure).








NOTE It is very important that the front of the headliner be lowered carefully and slowly. Applying too much downward force on the headliner will cause it to develop a permanent crease in the surface material.

The stoppers are located on the inside of the passenger compartment behind the windshield glass blackout section (near the top front edge of the metal roof opening). The stoppers are typically located 20 - 25 cm (7.9 - 9.8 in.) inboard of the top corners of the windshield glass.







2. Cut OFF the tip of the plastic stopper as shown in Figure 3.

HINT
It is sometimes necessary to bend the metal body tab down to gain access to the shaft of the stopper.








3. Once the tip of the stopper has been removed use a screwdriver to open a gap between the roof panel and the remainder of the plastic windshield stopper.

4. Test drive vehicle prior to reassembly to confirm that the noise has been eliminated.

5. Reassemble the vehicle.


Lower Windshield Retainers:







1. Carefully remove the plastic cowl cover at the base of the windshield and store it in a safe location for reinstallation later (refer to the appropriate model year Repair Manual for the proper procedure).

2. Locate the lower windshield retainers.








The retainers are typically located 140 - 200 mm (5.5 - 7.9 in.) inboard of the lower corners of the windshield. The flat portion of the retainer is adhered to the backside of the windshield with double-sided foam-backed tape.







3. Use a "Mini" Hacksaw with a fine tooth 10-inch blade to cut OFF the pin portion of the glass retainer flush with the flat portion of the windshield retainer as shown in Figure 6.

4. Test drive the vehicle to confirm the elimination of the noise.

5. Reassemble the vehicle.

Permanent-Type Protective Wax Coatings

Service Category
Vehicle Exterior

Section
Paint/Coatings

Market
USA







Applicability

Introduction

Toyota uses two types of permanent protective wax coatings; one is yellow-brown and the other is black. The yellow-brown (cavity wax) is used for interior body panels (i.e. hoods trunk lids doors engine compartment components etc.). The black (underbody wax) is used on the underside of the body floor separate frame (if equipped) as well as inside the fenderwell areas. Both types of waxes provide substantial corrosion protection to the aforementioned areas and components.

These permanent-type protective wax coatings should not be removed from the vehicle unless body work is to be done in an area coated with the protective wax. It is essential that these wax coatings be restored to areas where the wax was removed during body repairs. Replacement wax coatings are available from local automotive chemical suppliers.

NOTE :^ Any underbody wax that has been inadvertently sprayed on the exhaust system by the factory will normally dissipate in a few miles.








Warranty Information







Parts Information

Cleaning Procedure

If necessary removal of any wax coating overspray on the exterior paint finish may be removed easily with Toyota bug and Tar Remover. Be sure to wash the paint surface with Toyota Liquid Car Wash before using the Bug and Tar Remover (this will prevent scratching of the paint surface from dirt trapped in the wax coating.)

System Identification

The Application Chart contains all of the necessary information to correctly identify the type of system installed, and where to go to get programming procedures for each vehicle.

Should a vehicle having both VIP and Factory systems available (as identified in the Application Chart) be brought in without any remotes (or one non-working remote), use the following tips to help determine which type of wireless system (O.E. or PIO/DIO) the vehicle has.

^ Look at the Trim Level of the vehicle. Higher-grade vehicles will tend to have O.E. systems, while entry-grade vehicles will tend to have VIR For example, the 2001 Camry XLE has Factory WRKE, but the LE and CE grades have VIR

^ Look for a "Status Monitor" with a glass breakage sensor and an LED externally installed into the dashboard or on the center console. Most VIP systems will have this.

^ Locate the ECU (refer to the applicable vehicle VIP Manual installation instructions for location). Once located, refer to the part label.

^ Attempt to perform the factory wireless programming procedure to get a response from the vehicle. Select the "confirmation mode" and see if any "Lock/Unlock" response is received, if so, the vehicle has a factory system.

ABSORBED GLASS MAT (AGM)
BATTERY INFORMATION

Models
'01 - '08 Toyota

August 11, 2007

Introduction
This TSB provides background on the differences and similarities between AGM (Absorbed-electrolyte Glass Mat) batteries and flooded lead acid batteries. It also explains charging procedures performed by the GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station (SST P/N 00002-MCGR8) and its ability to charge AGM batteries at higher current levels then a standard battery charger.

Applicable Vehicles

^ 2001 - 2008 model year Toyota vehicles equipped with an AGM battery.








Required Tools & Equipment







Warranty Information

Battery Comparison

Differences between AGM and flooded lead acid batteries:

^ AGM batteries have thin, sponge-like, glass mat separators that absorb all liquid electrolytes.

^ Flooded lead acid batteries have free, liquid electrolyte all around the plates and separators.

^ Flooded lead acid batteries can easily release gas that is formed during a charge, while AGM battery life is diminished if gas is formed during charging.


Similarities between AGM and flooded lead acid batteries:

^ Both share the exact same lead acid chemistry.

^ Both share the same charge and discharge principles.

^ Both are safely charged by vehicle charging systems.

^ When discharged, both can be recharged at high current levels.


Battery Charging Information

Damage to AGM batteries becomes an issue when the charge rate is NOT monitored and controlled by the charger (i.e., quick chargers). The performance of an AGM battery can be irreversibly reduced if the charge rate remains too high, allowing the battery to overheat and vent. Once an AGM battery loses water (venting), the glass mats will become dry, causing the battery to lose conductance, power, and performance.

In most vehicle charging systems, the alternator limits the charging rate by limiting the output voltage (about 14.4V). For example, an AGM battery may be observed charging at 60A and 13.5V. As the battery recharges, the charging voltage will increase from 13.5V to approximately 14.4V (voltage will vary based on temperature, control sophistication, etc.), and the current will decrease from 60A to about OA. The charging system voltage regulators prevent both AGM and flooded lead acid batteries from being overcharged and venting. By controlling the voltage, the charging rate (current) can be controlled.

The discontinued Special Service Tool (SST) Automatic Trickle Charger (SST P/N 00002-YA122-01) maintained a manual charging limit of 10A to accomplish a safe recharge rate for AGM batteries. This low amp charge was low enough to prevent the AGM battery from overheating and venting since the charger had no way of monitoring battery temperature/condition.

The GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station (SST P/N 00002-MCGR8) is a customized diagnostic fast charger that monitors battery temperature/conditions and contains custom charging rates for ALL model batteries used for Toyota and Scion vehicles. As such, it safely charges good batteries as fast as possible to a point where they can be returned to service and eliminates wasted charging time by quickly diagnosing bad batteries.

Based on the characteristics and performance measures of each individual battery (i.e., custom charging rate), the GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station will apply the fastest charging rate that is safe for that particular battery.

^ When the GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station pe~ormance measurements indicate that an AGM battery qualifies for fast-charging, it will be charged at whatever current level it will accept, but the charging voltage will be controlled so that it does NOT exceed 14.4V, and the battery temperature will NOT exceed 135°F (57°C).

^ When the GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station performance measurements indicate that an AGM battery does NOT qualify for fast-charging, the charge session will only continue if the battery qualifies for "Recovery" mode (part of which means, NO defects or other serious performance issues were found).


It is recommended that ALL Toyota and Scion vehicle batteries be charged using the GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station.

NOTE :^ NEVER connect the GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station to remote battery terminals.

^ ALWAYS connect the GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station DIRECTLY to the vehicle battery.


For assistance on charging procedures, refer to the GR8 Instruction Manual or TSB No. PG001-06, "Battery Maintenance for In-Stock Vehicles & Pre-Delivery".

The GR8 Instruction Manual can be found on the Technical Information System (TIS), Diagnostics - Battery - "GR8 Instruction Manual".
