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 2025 model year Corolla
Hatchback vehicles.
Refer to T-SB-0028-24, the universal Check Sheet that contains PDS steps that apply to all 2025
model year Toyota vehicles. 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, refer to T-SB-0023-24, Long-Term Vehicle
Storage Guidelines.

D/C Cut Fuse Installation (For Japan Built Units)

To minimize battery discharge during transportation and storage, the D/C cut fuse (30A) has
been removed at the assembly plant and temporarily stored in the blank space of the relay block
in the engine compartment. During PDS, reinstall the D/C cut fuse (30A) to its original location
and confirm ALL related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are cleared.
Remove the D/C cut fuse (30A) from the blank space of the relay block in the engine
compartment and install the D/C cut fuse (30A) in the relay block as shown in Figure 1.
