TOYOTA TECHNICAL 

BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICE 

Using the 2004 Sequoia as the 

vehicle example, this article discusses 

basic brake system mechanical 

service (calipers, pads, discs), as 

well as brake system-related sensor 

circuits for vehicles equipped with 

ABS with TRAC & VSC systems. Due 

to space constraints, the ABS service 

is not included in this article. 

Sensors involving yaw rate, deceleration, 

skid control and master cylinder 

pressure are discussed. 

FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS 

The 2004 Sequoia features four-piston 

front calipers and single-piston 

rear calipers. 

Since the front calipers feature 

opposing pistons, the caliper bodies 

4 

are rigidly-mounted, and are secured 

with two mounting bolts. The rear 

calipers are the sliding type, located 

on fixed-mounted torque plates. 

FRONT CALIPER SERVICE 

Using SST 09023-00100 (or equivalent), 

disconnect the brake line. 

Remove the two caliper mounting 

bolts and remove the caliper. 

Remove the clip, two pad pins and 

anti-rattle spring, and remove the 

two pads and all four anti-squeal 

shims. 

Remove the cylinder boot set rings 

and boots using a flat-blade screwdriver. 

In order to remove the pistons, 

first fabricate a spacer plate 

(wood or similar material) that is 

6.70 inches wide by 1.97 inches 

deep and 1.10 inches thick (170mm 

x 50mm x 28mm), featuring anglecut 

corners on one side of the plate 

depth as shown in the illustration. 

Insert a brake pad on one side 

(against one pair of pistons), and 

insert the wood spacer between the 

pad and the exposed opposite-side 

pistons. 

With the spacer plate positioned 

with the angle-cut corners facing the 

top of the caliper, use compressed 

air (via the brake line inlet port) to 

alternately push one pair of pistons 

out of their bores. Remove the brake 

pad and force the remaining two pistons 

out of their bores, again using 

compressed air, with the wood spac-

been removed, use a flat-blade 

screwdriver to remove the piston 

seals. 

Clean and inspect the caliper 

bores. If the bores are in good condition 

(not rusted, pitted or scored), 

the caliper may be reassembled using 

new pistons, seals, boots and boot 

set rings. Always install new bleed 

valves, and always use new brake 

line fitting crush washers and bolts.

With pistons removed, use a 

screwdriver to remove the piston

NOTE: Torque values are as follows: 

a. Caliper mounting bolts 90 ft-lbf 

(123 N-m) 

b. Brake line fitting to caliper 11 ft-lbf 

(15 N-m) 

c. Wheel 83 ft-lbf (110 N-m) 

INSPECT PADS 

If the existing pads are being considered 

for re-use, inspect the pads for 

cracks, signs of uneven wear and pad 

thickness. Pad standard thickness is 

0.453 in. (11.5mm). Minimum pad 

thickness is 0.039 in. (1.0mm). If 

thickness is less than the minimum, or 

if the pad(s) show signs of uneven 

wear, cracking, glazing or other damage, 

replace the pads as a complete 

set (never mix worn and new pads). 

NOTE: Whenever pad replacement is 

required, it is always advisable to 

replace both right and left side pads as 

a complete axle set. 

Measure brake pad thickness, 

in addition to inspecting for 

uneven wear, cracking, glazing 

or other damage. 

BRAKE DISC INSPECTION 

Temporarily fasten the brake disc 

to the hub with three wheel nuts. 

Using a micrometer, measure disc 

thickness at a minimum of three 

equidistant locations. Always measure 

at a spot about 0.39 in. (10mm) 

inboard from the disc edge, to avoid 

placing the micrometer on a buildup 

of rust. Be sure to measure within 

the area of pad contact. Standard 

disc thickness is 1.102 in. (28.0mm). 

Minimum thickness is 1.024 in. 

(26.0mm). If disc thickness is at the 

minimum or less, the disc must be 

replaced. 

Using a dial indicator (on a stand 

that is rigidly mounted to the suspension 

upright), measure disc 

runout. The indicator plunger should 

be placed about 0.39 in. (10mm) 

from the disc’s outer edge, and 

should be positioned with about 

0.050 in. preload. Then zero the 

gauge and slowly rotate the disc a 

full 360 degrees, while monitoring 

the gauge. Maximum allowable 

runout is 0.0028 in. (0.07mm). If 

runout exceeds this minimum, either 

replace the disc or re-surface the 

disc only using an “on-car” brake 

lathe. Once resurfaced, measure disc 

thickness again to verify that it is 

greater than the specified minimum 

thickness. 

Also, if disc runout is outside the 

specified range, check the hub for 

runout as well. A worn hub bearing 

may be the cause of excessive 

A fixed-position caliper (as opposed to a sliding caliper that features 

a single piston) captures the pads using locating pins. Make sure 

that the pin holes in the caliper and pad backing plates are clean and 

free of debris. 

runout, so it’s important to isolate 

the source of the runout problem 

(this may involve the hub, the disc, 

or both). 

It is possible that very small 

runout variances in the hub and disc 

may result in a “stack-up” of tolerance, 

and may be corrected by repositioning 

the disc onto the hub in a 

different clock position. First, mark 

one hub stud and its corresponding 

hole in the disc. Next, remove the 

hub nuts and disc, and re-locate the 

disc onto the hub by aligning the 

marked bolt hole in the disc to the

Measure disc thickness using a 

quality micrometer. Be sure to 

measure at a point inboard 

from the disc edge, within the 

pad contact area. 

Measure disc runout using a

the indicator plunger about 

0.039 in. inboard from the disc’s 

outer edge.

runout check (repeat this process 

until the disc has been checked in 

all possible clock positions on the 

hub.) It is possible that minimum 

runout may be achieved in one of 

these positions. If excessive runout 

persists despite disc clock position, 

replace the disc, hub or both, 

depending on your findings. 

REAR BRAKE CALIPERS

pectedly. The folded-up shop rag will 

absorb the energy of the moving piston. 

Using a screwdriver, remove the 

piston seal from the caliper. Remove 

the pin bushings and boots. Always 

use new bushings and boots before 

reinstalling a caliper. 

Before placing a new or resurfaced rotor into service, take the time 

to thoroughly clean the disc surfaces to remove any oils or machining 

residue. Hot soapy water and a nylon brush works well. 

Use a screwdriver to remove 

the piston seal. 

REAR BRAKE PADS 

Measure pad thickness using a ruler 

or other straight-line measuring 

device. Standard rear pad thickness 

is 0.39 in. (10.0mm). Minimum pad 

thickness is 0.039 in. (1.0mm). In 

addition to thickness, check the pads 

for uneven wear, cracking, glazing, 

etc. 

REAR BRAKE DISCS 

Temporarily fasten a rear disc to its 

hub using three wheel nuts. Using a 

micrometer, measure disc thickness 

at the area of pad contact. Standard 

thickness is 0.709 in. (18.0mm). 

Minimum allowable thickness is 

0.611 in. (16.0mm). Replace the disc 

if at or less than the minimum thickness. 

Also inspect the disc for scoring 

or uneven wear. The disc may be 

saved by resurfacing on a quality 

brake lathe. If the disc is resurfaced, 

re-measure disc thickness. 

Using a dial indicator, measure disc 

runout, with the indicator plunger 

located 0.39 in. (10mm) from the 

disc outside edge. If disc runout is 

greater than 0.0039 in. (0.1mm), 

check the bearing play in the axial 

direction. If the bearing play and 

axle hub runout are not abnormal, 

you may be able to adjust disc 

runout using an on-car lathe. If necessary, 

disc runout may be reduced 


or eliminated by checking runout 

with the disc located at all possible 

bolt locations (following the same 

routine outlined for front discs). 

Measure rear disc thickness 

using a micrometer. 

Inspect the disc for runout 

using a dial indicator. Be sure to 

place the indicator plunger at a 

position 10mm from the outside 

disc edge. 

BRAKE SYSTEM RELATED 

SENSOR CIRCUITS 

While not a direct part of the brake 

hydraulic system, there are several 

ABS/TRAC VSC-related circuits that 

impact vehicle performance during 

braking. It’s a good idea to become 

familiar with these circuits. 

VSC-RELATED ZERO POINT 

CALIBRATION & SENSOR 

CHECK 

Zero point calibration must be performed 

after replacing any of the following 

components on 2003 - 2006 

model year Sequoia vehicles: 

• Vehicle skid control computer 

• Steering angle sensor 

• Master cylinder pressure sensor 

• Yaw rate sensor 

• Deceleration sensor 

Zero point calibration of the above 

components must also be performed 

when replacing or repairing steeringrelated 

parts and when changing the 

vehicle’s straight-ahead condition via 

toe adjustment.

CAUTION: 

While performing zero point calibration, 

do not tilt, move or shake 

the vehicle. The vehicle must maintain 

a stationary position. Do not 

start the engine. Be sure to perform 

calibration on a level surface (within 

an inclination of 1%). 

Whenever replacing the skid control 

ECU, registration of the new ECU 

must first be performed. 

Step 1 

For 2WD Sequoia models, registration 

is already complete. Proceed to 

Step 2. 

For 4WD models with a transfer 

lever, after turning the ignition 

switch ON, with the shifter in the 

“P” position, move the transfer lever 

to the “L4” position. For vehicles 



equipped with a push button selector, 

place the transmission in neutral, 

press the “L4” button and then 

place the transmission in the “P” 

position. At this time, the VSC system 

buzzer will sound for three seconds 

indicating that registration is 

complete. Now turn the ignition 

switch OFF and proceed to Step 2. 

Step 2

a. Connect the Toyota Diagnostic 

tester to the DLC3. 

b. Move the shift lever to the “P” 

position. 

c. Turn the ignition switch to the 

“ON” position. 

d. Place the Diagnostic Tester into 

Signal Check mode under the 

ABS/VSC menu. 

e. Keep the vehicle in a stationary 

position on a level surface for four 

seconds or more. 

f. For 2WD models, press the TRAC 

OFF switch three times within three 

seconds without pressing the brake 

pedal. 

g. For 4WD models, press the center 

differential lock (TRAC OFF) 

switch three times within three seconds 

without pressing the brake 

pedal. 

h. Check that the VSC buzzer 

sounds for three seconds. If the VSC 

buzzer does not sound, repeat the 

zero point calibration procedures. If 

the buzzer still does not sound, 

check the VSC buzzer circuit. 

i. Zero point of master cylinder

DELTA S SENSOR 

CIRCUIT 

The Delta S sensor is 

also known as the pedal 

stroke speed sensor. 

When DTC C1247/47 is 

output, this indicates 

that output turns 4.7V 

or more or 0.2V or less 

per 100msec; or when 

output does not return 

to 2.5V even when 

500msec or more elapses, 

in spite of no change 

in brake operation. The 

problem lays with the 

brake booster, the Delta 


S sensor circuit, the skid control 

ECU or any combination of 

these areas. 

In order to check the output 

value of the Delta S sensor, 

connect the Toyota Diagnostic 

Tester to the DLC3. Turn the 

ignition switch to the ON position, 

and run the engine until 

engine speed reaches 3,000 

rpm, and then return engine 

speed back to idle (HINT: Rev 

the engine to ensure sufficient 

vacuum). 

Select the DATA LIST mode on 

the hand-held tester. The pedal 

stroke sensor should show a minimum 

of 0V and a maximum of 5.1V. 

Normal condition is about 2.0V without 

the brake pedal depressed. 

NOTE: The result appears on the 

tester after a brief delay because a 

time lag occurs during this measurement 

with the hand-held tester. If a 

signal from the Delta S sensor is 

being sent between sampling, the 

result does not appear on the tester, 

so be sure to perform this measurement 

two or three times. 

Check that the brake pedal acceleration 

value of the Delta S sensor displayed 

on the hand-held tester 

changes, alternatively increasing the 

brake pedal stroke. The value should 

change as the brake pedal is 

depressed and released. With the 

pedal depressed, voltage should be 

approximately 1.9V. When the pedal 

is released, voltage should be about 

4.5V. The value should return to 

about 2.0V after the pedal is 

released. 

The maximum voltage depends on 

pedal stroke speed, but should not 

exceed 4.5V or fall below 0.2V. 

If Delta S voltage is not as speci- 

Voltage 

Delta S sensor value should change as 

the brake pedal is depressed and 

released. Voltage should not fall below 

0.2V when the pedal is depressed, nor 

should it exceed 4.5V when the pedal 

is released. 

fied, check for an open or short circuit 

in the harness and connector 

between the Delta S sensor and the 

skid control ECU. If no open or short 

is found, inspect the Delta S sensor 

terminal voltage at the VCP terminal. 

With the Delta S sensor disconnected, 

turn the ignition switch ON and 

measure voltage between the VCP terminal 

and body ground. Voltage 

should read 5V. If not, replace the 

skid control ECU. If this voltage check 

is OK, replace the brake booster.

YAW RATE SENSOR 

CIRCUIT 

A DTC C1234/34 indicates that 

either a) power output of 4.65V or 

more or 0.25V or less continues for 

0.1 second or more; or b) the difference

the yaw rate sensor and the output 

value calculated from the other sensors’ 

output continues to be large. In 

either case, the trouble lies with the 

yaw rate sensor or its circuit. 

The first step in inspecting the yaw 

rate/deceleration sensor is to check 

its installation. The sensor should be 

tight (bolt mounting torque value is 

3.7 ft-lbf (5 N-m), and check to make 

sure that the sensor is not tilted. 

Next, check the output value of the 

yaw rate sensor. Remove the two 

bolts and the yaw rate sensor assembly, 

with the harness still connected. 

Connect the hand-held tester to the 

DLC3. Turn the ignition switch ON 

and turn the hand-held tester main 

switch on. Select the DATA LIST 

mode on the hand-held tester and 

check that the value of the YAW RATE 

Torque: 5 N-m (10 kgf-cm, 3.7 ft-lbs) 

Check the yaw rate sensor for 

correct installation. 

With the yaw rate sensor 

detached but still connected to 

its harness, hold the sensor vertical 

to the ground and turn the 

sensor to the right and left to 

check for value changes.

Place the yaw rate sensor vertically 

and turn the sensor to the right and 

left a minimum of -128 degrees and 

a maximum of 128 degrees. 

Check for an open or short circuit 

in the harness and connector 

between the yaw rate sensor and the 

skid control ECU. 

Check for voltage between terminals 

VYS and GYAW of the yaw rate 

sensor. Disconnect the yaw rate sensor 

from its connector. Turn the ignition 

switch ON. Measure voltage 

between terminals VYS and GYAW of 

the yaw rate sensor harness-side 

connector. Voltage should be 10 to 

14V. If voltage is not within this 

range, replace the skid control ECU. 

Yaw rate 

(deceleration) sensor 

DECELERATION CIRCUIT 

Yaw rate and deceleration is monitored 

by the same sensor. In order to 

check the deceleration circuit, verify 

that the sensor is correctly mounted 

(bolts tight to value and sensor not 

tilted). Next, remove the two mounting 

bolts and with the sensor still 

connected to its harness, connect the 

Toyota Diagnostic Tester to the DLC3. 

Turn the ignition switch ON and turn 

the hand-held tester main switch on. 

Select the DATA LIST mode on the

value of the DECELERAT SENS displayed 

on the tester changes. Place 

the sensor vertical to the ground and 

then tilt the sensor frontward and

DECELERAT SENS2 displayed on the 

hand-held tester changes. Normal 

condition is approximately 0 +/- 0.13 

G while stationary. 

Check (a) 

Check (b) 

When checking for value 

changes in the deceleration 

sensor, tilt the sensor rearward 

and forward (with sensor dismounted 

but still connected to 

its harness). 

STEERING ANGLE SENSOR 

Check the output of the steering 

angle sensor. Connect the Toyota 

Diagnostic Tester to the vehicle’s 

DLC3. Turn the ignition ON and turn 

the tester’s main switch on. Select 

the DATA LIST mode on the handheld 

tester and select STEERING ANG. 

Check that the steering wheel turning 

angle value of the steering angle 

sensor displayed on the hand-held 

tester changes as the steering wheel 

is turned. NOTE: Turning the steering 

wheel to the left increases value; 

turning the steering wheel to the 

right decreases value. 

If DTC codes C1231/31 or C1235/35 

are still present, check and replace 

the skid control ECU. If the sensor 

value change is not correct, check 

for an open or short circuit in the 

harness and connector between the 

steering angle sensor, translate ECU 

and the skid control ECU. 

INSPECTING THE BRAKE 

INHIBIT RELAY 

This will involve checking voltage 

between terminal 1 and 3 of the 

brake inhibit relay and body ground. 

Remove the brake inhibit relay from 

the connector. Turn the ignition 

switch ON. Measure the voltage 

between terminal 1 of the brake 

inhibit relay harness side connector 

and body ground. Voltage should be 

10 - 14V. Next, measure the voltage 

between terminal 3 of the brake 

inhibit relay harness side connector 

and body ground while the brake 

pedal is depressed. Voltage should be 

8 - 14V. 

When checking voltage between 

body ground and terminal 

3 of the brake inhibit relay 

harness side connector, the 

brake pedal must be depressed. 

STAR service news Fall 2007 

ON

Check the brake inhibit relay for 

continuity between terminals 1 and 

2, and between terminals 3 and 4. 

Continuity should be present in both 

cases (a reference value for continuity 

between terminal 1 and 2 should 

be about 62 ohms). 

Apply battery positive voltage 

between terminals 1 and 2, and 

check continuity between terminals 3 

and 4. Continuity should be open. 

Check the brake inhibit relay for 

continuity between terminals 1

TOYOTA’S HYBRID VEHICLE 

CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE 

TRANSMISSION 

For informational purposes, this article discusses 

the CVT (Continuously Variable 

Transmission) technology featured in two 

specific Toyota vehicles. Here we use the 

2004 Prius and 2006 Highlander HV as our 

examples. The 2004 Prius features the P112 

hybrid transaxle, while the 2006 Highlander 

HV features the P310 hybrid transaxle. 

NOTE: Due to the complexity and potential 

hazards of servicing a high-voltage hybrid 


system, only Toyota-trained and certified 

hybrid technicians are permitted to service 

this engine/transmission system. This article 

serves only to provide a technical overview 

of the continuously variable transmission 

that is featured in specific Toyota hybrid 

vehicles. This article is not intended to provide 

service guidelines and is offered for 

informational purposes only. 

One very important aspect relates to cable 

color. All high-voltage cables utilized on 


17

Toyota hybrid vehicles are orange in 

color. Gauges will vary, but the critical 

point to remember is that if you 

encounter an orange cable, do not 

touch or tamper with it. Serious 

injury can result when untrained personnel 

attempt to handle these 

cables. If it’s orange, keep your 

hands off! 

The THS-II (Toyota Hybrid System 

II) is a type of powertrain that features 

a combination of two types of 

motive forces, such as an internal 

combustion engine and an electric 

Motor Generator. This system is characterized 

by skillful use of two types 

of motive forces according to driving 

conditions. It maximizes the 

strengths of each of the motive 

forces and complements their weaknesses. 

This provides a seamless 

blend of acceleration and deceleration 

without noticeable shift points. 

As a result, it can achieve a highly 

responsive level of performance as 

well as a dramatic reduction in fuel 

consumption and exhaust gas emissions. 

The THS-II can be broadly 

divided into two systems: the series 

hybrid system and the parallel hybrid 

system. 

NOTE: MG1 is Motor Generator No. 

1. This starts the engine and then is 

driven by the engine, generating 

electricity to drive the MG2, or 

charge the HV battery, depending on 

vehicle status. 

MG2 is Motor Generator No. 2. This 

uses electricity or generates electricity 

by reversing the current through 

the motor generators. 

18 


Series Parallel Hybrid System: 

The Series Parallel Hybrid System 

drives the wheels with the electric 

motors and the gas/petrol engine, 

yielding electricity via the generator 

to self-charge the battery. 

With the Series Parallel Hybrid 

System, it is possible to drive the 

wheels using the dual sources of 

power (electric motors and/or 

gas/petrol engine), as well as to 

generate electricity while running on 

the electric motors. 

The system runs the car on power 

from the electric motors only, or by 

using both the gas/petrol engine and 

the electric motors together, depending 

on driving conditions. Since the 

generator is integrated into the system, 

the battery can be charged 

while the car is running. 

This system takes advantage of the 

energy-efficient electric motors when 

the car runs in the low speed range, 

and calls on the gas/petrol engine

when the car runs in the higher 

speed range. In other words, the system 

can control the dual sources of 

power for optimum energy-efficient 

operation under any driving conditions. 

THE HYBRID TRANSAXLE 

Commonly referred to as a CVT 

(Continuously Variable Transmission), 

the Toyota hybrid transmission 

essentially provides the driver with 

the experience of smooth acceleration 

and deceleration, without noticing 

specific shift points. 

While this system efficiently combines 

and operates the two types of 

motive forces (engine and MG2), the 

basic motive force is provided by the 

engine. The motive force of the 

engine is divided into two areas: the 

motive force applied to the wheels 

by the planetary gear unit in the 

hybrid transaxle, and the motive 

force used to operate the MG1 as a 

generator. 

The hybrid transaxle, which contains 

the MG1, MG2 and the planetary 

gear unit, uses these components 

to achieve a smooth drive realized 

through seamless shifting. 

A computer-controlled planetary 

gear unit has been adopted to 

mechanically link the front wheels 

and MG2 via gears and a chain. To 

disengage the motive force in the 

neutral position, the shift position 

sensor outputs an N position signal 

to turn off all the power transistors 

in the inverter (which connects the 

MG1 and MG2). As a result, the operation 

of MG1 and MG2 shut down, 

rendering the motive forces at the 

wheels to zero. In this condition, 

even if the MG1 is rotated by the 

engine or MG2 is rotated by the

drive wheels, no generation of electricity 

occurs because both MG1 and 

MG2 are inactive. As a result, the 

state of charge of the HV battery 

decreases as the shift position 

remains in the N position. 

BASIC OPERATION 

The THS-II system controls the following 

modes in order to achieve the 

most efficient operations to match 

real-time driving conditions: 

1. Supply of electrical power from 

the HV battery to MG2 provides the 

force to drive the wheels. 

2. While the wheels are being driven 

by the engine via the planetary 

gears, MG1 is rotated by the engine 

(via the planetary gears), in order to 

supply the generated electricity to 

MG2 and the battery.

The 2004 Prius P112 Hybrid transaxle. The transaxle unit consists 

primarily of a transaxle damper, MG1, MG2, planetary gear unit and 

a reduction unit (containing a silent chain, counter drive gear, 

counter driven gear, final drive pinion gear and a final drive ring 

gear). The planetary gear unit, MG1, MG2, transaxle damper and 

the chain drive sprocket are located coaxially (in-line), and the force 

is transmitted from the chain drive sprocket to the reduction unit 

via a silent chain.

3. MG1 is rotated by the engine via 

the planetary gears in order to 

charge the HV battery, or freewheels, 

depending on operating status. 

4. When the vehicle decelerates, 

kinetic energy from the wheels is 

recovered and converted into electrical 

energy, which is used to recharge

the HV battery by means of MG2. 

The HV ECU controls hybrid operation 

according to driving conditions. 

However, when the HV battery state 

of charge (SOC) is low, the HV battery 

is then charged by the engine as 

it turns MG1. 

As a result, the system achieves far 

greater fuel economy compared to 

conventional-engine-equipped vehicles, 

and at a reduced level of 

exhaust gas emissions. In addition, 

this revolutionary powertrain has 

eliminated the constraints that are

associated with electric-only vehicles, such as limited 

cruising range or reliance on external charging units. 

REGENERATIVE BRAKE 

The regenerative brake function operates MG2 as a generator 

while the vehicle is decelerating or braking, and 

stores this energy in the HV battery. At the same time, it 

utilizes the operating resistance which the MG2 exerts 

during the generation of electricity as a braking force. 

As on the 2003 Prius, the 2004 Prius utilizes shift-bywire 

technology. This is a “link-less” type that does not 

use a shift cable. Instead, a shift position sensor in the 

transmission detects the shift position and sends a signal 

to the HV ECU. Upon receiving this signal, the HV 

ECU produces the respective shift positions. When the 

driver presses the parking switch (located on top of the 

shifter), the “P” position control actuates the shift control 

actuator located in the hybrid transaxle in order to 

mechanically lock the counter-driven gear, which 

engages the parking lock. 

The 2004 Prius also features a link-less accelerator 

pedal system called ETCS-I (Electronic Throttle Control 

System-Intelligent). This features an accelerator pedal 

position sensor and a throttle position sensor to detect

The HV ECU calculates the target engine speed 

and required engine motive force in accordance with 

the signals provided by the accelerator pedal position 

sensor, vehicle driving conditions and the SOC of the 

battery, and sends a control signal to the ECM, which 

optimally controls the throttle valve. 

The 2006 Highlander HV also features shift-by-wire 

and link-less accelerator pedal systems. 

FUNCTION OF THS-II MAIN 

COMPONENTS 

(Concept is either Motor or Generator) 

HYBRID TRANSAXLE MG1 

Rotated by the engine, MG1 generates high-voltage 

electricity in order to operate MG2 or to charge the HV 

battery. MG1 also functions as a starter for the engine. 

HYBRID TRANSAXLE MG2 

Driven by electrical power from MG1 or the HV battery, 

MG2 provides motive force for the drive wheels. 

During braking, or when the accelerator pedal is not 

depressed, MG2 generates electricity to recharge the HV 

battery. 

HYBRID TRANSAXLE PLANETARY GEAR UNIT 

The hybrid transaxle planetary gear unit distributes 

the engine’s drive force as needed to directly drive the 

wheels and the generator. See chart on page 22. 

HV BATTERY 

This special HV battery supplies electric power to the 

MG2 during start-off, acceleration, and uphill driving. 

The battery is recharged during braking or when the 

accelerator pedal is not depressed. 

INVERTER ASSEMBLY 

The inverter assembly is a device that converts the 

high-voltage DC HV battery power into AC (MG1 and 

MG2) and vice versa (converts AC into DC). 

A Boost Converter boosts or lowers the maximum 

high-voltage of the HV battery. 

A DC-DC Converter drops the maximum high-voltage 

in order to supply electricity to body electrical components, 

as well as to recharge the auxiliary battery. 

Fall 2007

An A/C Inverter converts the nominal 

DC high-voltage of the HV battery 

to AC and supplies power to 

operate the electric inverter compressor 

of the A/C (air conditioning) 


Both Toyota models (2004 Prius 

and 2006 Highlander HV) feature air 

conditioning compressors with integral 

high-voltage alternating current 

motors. This allows powering the air 

conditioning compressor with a highvoltage 

electric motor for further 

improvements in vehicle efficiency. 

HV ECU 

(The HV ECU is also known as the 

THS-ECU on the Highlander HV). 

The Hybrid Vehicle ECU receives 

information from each sensor, as well 

as from the ECM, battery ECU, skid 

control ECU and EPS ECU. Based on 

this information, the required torque 

and output power is calculated. The 

HV ECU sends the calculated result 

to the ECM, inverter assembly, battery 

ECU and skid control ECU.

BATTERY ECU 

The battery ECU monitors the 

charging condition of the HV battery 

(slightly different on the Highlander 

HV, which features an analog-to-digital 

“smart unit”). 

SKID CONTROL ECU 

The skid control ECU controls the 

regenerative brake that is affected 

by the MG2 and the hydraulic brake 

so that the total braking force equals 

that of a conventional vehicle that is 

equipped with hydraulic brakes only. 

Also, the skid control ECU performs 

brake system control (ABS with EBD, 

Brake Assist, and Enhanced VSC; or 

VDIM on the Highlander HV). The 

VDIM, or vehicle Dynamic Integrated 

Management unit, bundles the logic 

for better control during acceleration 

and deceleration to avoid any potential 

hesitation issues. 

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION 

SENSOR 

The accelerator pedal position sensor 

converts the accelerator angle 

into an electrical signal and outputs 

this signal to the HV ECU. 

SHIFT POSITION SENSOR 

The shift position sensor converts 

the shift position into an electrical 

signal and outputs this to the HV 

ECU. 

On the 4WD-1 system (2006 

Highlander HV, as an example), an 

MGR (Motor Generator Rear) is provided 

in the rear drive unit. MGR, which 

is powered by the electricity from 

MG1 or the HV battery, drives the rear 

wheels in accordance with driving 

conditions. During deceleration, MGR 

functions as a generator and charges 

the HV battery as needed. 

The MG1, MG2 and MGR are compact, 

lightweight and highly efficient 

alternating current permanent magnet 

synchronous type motors. 

An independent cooling system is 

featured for cooling the MG1, MG2 

and the inverter. This cooling system 

activates when the power supply sta-

mal driving to ensure fuel economy. If 

the vehicle is being driven on a slippery 

road surface, accelerates or makes 

a tight turn, the skid control ECU 

detects the conditions of the vehicle 

based on the signals provided by the 

sensors. The skid control ECU calculates 

the total required motive force 

and the torque distribution between 

the front and rear wheels and transmits 

the signals to the THS ECU. The 

THS ECU then allows the front and rear 

wheels to be driven. When the vehicle 

decelerates, the kinetic energy is 

recovered from the front and rear 

wheels, is converted into electrical 

energy, and is used for recharging the 

HV battery by means of MG2 and MGR.

HIGHLANDER HV P310 

TRANSAXLE 

This hybrid transaxle consists primarily 

of MG1, MG2, a compound 

gear unit (which consists of a motor 

speed reduction planetary gear unit 

and a power split planetary gear 

unit), a counter gear unit and a differential 

gear unit. 

The engine, MG1 and MG2 are 

mechanically joined via the compound 

gear unit. The compound gear 

unit contains a motor speed reduction 

planetary gear unit and a power 

split planetary gear unit. The motor 

speed reduction planetary gear unit, 

whose purpose is to reduce motor 

speed, is used to enable the highspeed, 

high-output MG2 to adapt 

optimally to the power split planetary 

gear unit. The power split planetary 

gear unit splits the motive force 

of the engine in two ways: one to 

drive the wheels, and the other to 

drive the MG1, allowing the MG1 to 

act as a generator.

HV BATTERY 

The 2006 Highlander HV battery is 

a sealed nickel metal hydride (Ni- 

MH) assembly. This HV battery has a 

high power density, is lightweight 

and offers longevity to match the 

characteristics of the THS-II system. 

The HV battery consists of 240 cells 

(eight cells x 30 modules) with a 

nominal voltage of 288V (240 cells x 

1.2V). The HV battery is mounted 

under the rear seat and is split into 

three sections, separated by the seat 

rails. 

As we mentioned earlier, this article 

is intended to provide an informational

BLEEDING THE POWER 

STEERING SYSTEM 

Check the fluid level. Jack up the 

front of the vehicle and support it 

with jack stands. With the engine 

off, turn the steering wheel slowly 

from lock to lock several times. Lower 

the vehicle and start the engine. Run 

the engine at idle for a few minutes. 

With the engine idling, turn the 

wheel to the left or right to full lock, 

and hold the wheel at full lock for 

two to three seconds. Next, turn the 

wheel to the opposite full lock position 

and hold it there for two to 

three seconds. Repeat this several 

times. Stop the engine and check the 

power steering reservoir for fluid 

foaming or emulsification. If the system 

must be bled twice because of 

foaming or emulsification, check for 

fluid leaks in the system. 

When checking fluid level, keep the 

vehicle on a level surface. With the 

engine stopped, check the fluid level 

in the oil reservoir. If necessary, add 

fluid (ATF Dexron II or III). If the 

fluid is cold, check that the level is

within the COLD LEVEL range. If it is 

hot, check that it is within the HOT 

LEVEL range. To check hot level, start 

the engine and run it at idle. Turn 

the steering wheel from lock to lock 

several times to raise fluid temperature 

(in the hot level range, fluid 

temperature should be 167 - 176 

degrees Fahrenheit. With the engine 

idling, measure the fluid level in the 

oil reservoir. Stop the engine, wait a 

few minutes and re-measure fluid 

level. Maximum fluid level rise (from 

engine idling to engine stopped) 

should be 0.20 in. (5mm).

Bushing 

Determine shaft oil clearance by 

measuring the shaft O.D. and 

the front housing’s bushing I.D. 

Measure the clearance between 

each vane pump rotor groove 

and vane plate. 

Using a micrometer, measure the 

vane pump shaft diameter. Using a 

caliper gauge or bore gauge, measure 

the bushing inner diameter in the 

front housing. Subtract the bushing 

inside diameter from the shaft’s 

outer diameter to determine oil 

clearance. Standard clearance is 

0.0012 - 0.0020 in. Maximum clearance 

is 0.0028 in. If clearance is 

greater than the allowable maximum, 

replace the shaft and the front vane 

pump housing. 

Inscribed mark 

Feeler gauge 

If replacing the vane pump rotor 

and/or plates, refer to the number 

stamped on the cam ring in 

order to achieve proper clearance. 

Inspect the vane pump rotor and 

vane pump plates. Using a micrometer, 

measure the height, thickness 

and length of the 10 vane plates. 

Minimum plate height is 0.33858 in. 

(8.6mm). Minimum plate thickness is 

0.05500 in. (1.397mm). Minimum 

plate length is 0.59020 in. 

(14.991mm). Replace any plates that 

do not meet the minimum specifications. 

If one or more plates require 

replacement, it is suggested that all 

10 plates be replaced. 

Using a feeler gauge, measure the 

clearance between the vane pump 

rotor groove and the vane plate in 

all 10 locations. Maximum clearance 

is 0.00130 in. (0.033mm). If clearance 

is greater, replace the plate(s) 

and/or rotor. NOTE: Be sure to 

replace the plate(s) and rotor with 

units that feature the same mark 

that is stamped on the cam ring.

FLOW CONTROL VALVE 

Coat the flow control valve with 

clean power steering fluid and check 

that it falls smoothly into the flow 

control valve bore by its own weight. 

Next, check the flow control valve 

for leakage. Close one of the holes 

and apply 57 - 71 psi of compressed 

air into the opposite-side hole, and 

confirm that air does not exit the 

end holes. If it is necessary to 

replace the flow control valve, 

replace with a valve that features 

the same reference letter that is 

marked on the front housing (mark 

A, B, C, D, E or F). 

Inspect the flow control valve com- 


pression spring using outside 

calipers. Free length (uncompressed) 

minimum is 1.307 in. (33.2mm). If 

the spring measures less than this 

minimum, replace the spring. 

Compressed air 

With one side hole blocked and 

compressed air injected into the 

opposite side hole, no air 

should escape from either end 

of the flow control valve. 

Inscribed mark 

When replacing the flow control 

valve, be sure to select a valve 

that features an alpha letter mark 

that corresponds to the letter 

mark on the front housing. 

Vernier calipers 

Measure free length of the flow 

control valve spring (uncompressed 

length). 

VANE PUMP REASSEMBLY 

Coat a new vane pump housing oil 

seal’s lip with power steering fluid 

and press-install the seal using SST 

09950-60010-01 (09951-00320),

Install the vane pump rotor (without 

its plates) into the cam ring. The rotor 

must be installed with the reference 

mark facing outward. Install a new 

snap ring to the vane pump shaft. 

Next, install all 10 plates into the 

rotor grooves, with the round end of 

the plates facing outward toward the 

outer circumference of the rotor. 

Install a new gasket and install the 

rear side plate, aligning the plate 

holes with the straight pins. 

Install the wave washer so that its 

protrusions fit into the slots in the 

side plate. Coat two new O-rings 

with power steering fluid and install 

then to the rear housing.
