Factory Toyota Service Manual for 2016 4Runner Trail Premium?

[Cytronus]

Does anyone know how or where to find the service or repair manual for a 2016 4Runner? I'm aiming to install a lift on my 2016 TP this Saturday, however, I need to deactivate KDSS per the installation instructions and have no clue how to do that.

Thanks in advance to anyone that knows.

Thanks, I did see that write up but that does not follow proper protocol for deactivating the KDSS system before taking a single bolt off. No one has a write up on that process from what I've seen so far.

I didn't deactivate KDSS, and I've never heard of such a thing from all the reading I did beforehand.

What instructions are you following?

Do not mess with KDSS deactivation. Follow the link above. Hundreds here have with successful results. Look at the build thread sticky and you will see. If you insist on deactivating the KDSS you are on your own so don't ask questions here.

I don't know of anyone that has "deactivated" their KDSS to do a suspension modification. In fact unless you know for sure that a local dealer or shop can do maintenance on a KDSS system, you should consider following the 100 plus people here that haven't had any issues and simply use a jack and strap.

KDSS is a closed pressurized system. Messing with the system pressure in any way is asking for issues. The SST bleed kit is over $500, let alone anything else you would need, and the training to use it.

The instructions from ICON Vehicle Dynamics installation guide. Sounds like I'll be ok following suit with people here have done.

great link, by the way. Before the stickies were organized, I remember looking all over the place for the FSM.



Good luck with your lift [MENTION=81106]Cytronus[/MENTION].
Any questions during the installation, just holler on the forum. Lift questions are seldom ignored.
The ratchet straps and additional jack are great suggestions. Prepare for the re installation of the sway bars with these items, and it will be a snap

No need to deavtivate the KDSS. I have done two suspension swaps on mine without doing anything with the KDSS other than ratchet dstrapping the cylinders in place and a lot of swear words getting the front sway lined back up by myself

Bottle jack, assorted prybars and most importantly, pin punches to align the holes, makes it a 5 minute job.

Adding to this, I have a 2016 TE. Installed Bilstein 5100s to the fronts. The only torque settings I could find were from the original 2010 5th gen. Is it safe to assume these torque settings are the same on the 2016 since its same generation?

Yes, it's the same parts and hardware.

Pin punches would have been a big help. I was using flat head screw drivers and they kept slipping around. Ended up getting it in place with one hand and vise gripping it with the other the second time around. Worked out pretty well and cut down the time a bunch.
