Apply the parking brake. 2. Open one of the side doors or the back door. The open door warning light should come on. 3. Close the door. The open door warning light should go off. 4. Turn ignition key to "ACC". The SRS airbag warning light should come on. It goes off after about 6 seconds. 5. Turn the ignition key to "ON", but do not start the engine. All the service reminder indicators except the open door warning light and SRS airbag warning light should come on. The "ABS" warning light goes off after about 3 seconds. If any service reminder indicator or warning buzzer does not function as described above, either the bulb is burned out or the circuit is in need of repair. Have it checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. 64
