ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Introduction

Pre-Delivery Service (PDS) is a critical step in satisfying our new car customers. Customer
feedback indicates the following areas deserve special attention when performing PDS:





Careful inspection for paint chips/scratches and body dents/dings.
Proper operation of electrical accessories (including interior light, clock, and radio reset).
Interior cleanliness.
Proper function of mechanical systems.

Customer retention and proper maintenance of vehicles are and have always been a major focus
for Toyota. To help remind customers that regular service is essential to the proper maintenance
of the vehicle, dealers are required to install a service reminder sticker before delivery. By doing
this, customers will be reminded to return to your dealership for service. Your current service
reminder sticker may be used. (See PDS Check Sheet item 8 of “Final Inspection and Cleaning.”)
This bulletin contains the PDS procedures that apply specifically to 2022 model year Highlander
and Highlander Hybrid vehicles. A universal PDS Check Sheet that contains PDS steps that
apply to all 2022 model year Toyota vehicles has been developed. To properly perform a
complete PDS, you must complete all procedures contained in this TSB as well as the universal
PDS Check Sheet.
In addition, if the vehicle is stored for over 30 days, be sure to follow Long-Term Vehicle
Storage Guidelines.

Warranty Policy

If the need for additional repairs or adjustment is noted during PDS, the required service should
be performed under warranty. Reimbursement will be managed under the warranty policy.

vehicle upon TMS and/or Region/Distributor audit, the PDS payment amount will be subject
to debit.
An additional Repair Order completed in conjunction with normal PDS MUST have time
punch/flags for service. If multiple repairs are performed, separate time flags MUST be punched
for each repair.

Seating Position Control ECU Initialization

Refer to the applicable Repair Manual for the seating position control ECU initialization procedure
(procedure 2).

Memorize Steering Angle Neutral Point

As a result of the removal of the D/C cut fuse, the power source to the steering angle sensor is cut
off. When the D/C cut fuse is reinstalled, the parking assist monitor system/panoramic view
monitor system will be operative, but it cannot display guidelines to assist parking operation
because the center position recognized by the steering angle sensor may not be in an initial
position. Therefore, perform steering angle neutral point initialization AFTER installing the D/C cut
fuse during PDS.
Refer to the applicable Repair Manual for the steering angle neutral point initialization procedure.

Perform Steering Sensor Zero Point Calibration

As a result of the removal of the D/C cut fuse, the steering angle sensor power source is cut off.
When the D/C cut fuse is reinstalled, the center position recognized by the steering angle sensor
may not be the appropriate position. Therefore, it is necessary to perform steering sensor zero
point calibration AFTER installing the D/C cut fuse during PDS.
Refer to the applicable Repair Manual for the steering zero point calibration procedure:
 Driving Method.
 Techstream Method (procedure 4).
