Toyota Corolla (E120): Precaution
1. Precaution of headlight bulb replacement
- if even a thin film of oil is left on the surface of the halogen lamp, its service life will be shortened because the lamp will be burn at a higher temperature.
- handle any halogen lamp with great care. Dropping, hitting or damaging the bulb, in any way, may result in it exploding and scattering because the internal pressure is high.
- always prepare a new bulb for immediate replacement. While replacing the bulb, the lens may attract dust and moisture if removed from the vehicle for too long.
- always use a bulb of the same wattage for replacement.
- firmly reinstall the socket after bulb replacement. The lens may become cloudy or the light cavity may fill with water through the gaps around the socket.

When the ignition switch is turned on, battery positive voltage is applied to
the coilwhich closes the contacts
of the efi main relay (marked: efi) and supplies power to terminal +b of the ecm.
This signal causes current to flow to the coil, closing the contacts of the efi
relay and supplyin ...

The rear heated oxygen sensor is used to monitor oxygen concentration in the
exhaust gas. For optimum
catalytic converter operation, the air fuel mixture must be maintained near the
ideal ”stoichiometric” ratio.
The heated oxygen sensor output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity of ...
