Alternator and Battery Fix: Toyota 4.0 V6 Tacoma, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser
#battery #alternator #multimeter
Checking and maintaining the battery, diagnosing and replacing the alternator on 4.0 V6 in a Toyota Tacoma (same for 4Runner and FJ Cruiser with that engine). Using a multimeter to make sure the alternator is not charging before replacing it. I also had the alternator tested at a local auto parts store (Advance) after the old one was removed. No product sponsorship or endorsement.
TYC alternator from Rock Auto.

Tools of significance in the video:
Basic tools needed, including ratchet and sockets, as well as wrenches. 10mm wrench and a flex ratchet are very valuable with this project.
A multimeter is a must for auto and home projects. My basic Flukes have held up well over the years.

i wish the names were clearer, before/after the engine/cat, downstream upstream, bank 1 bank 2. they make it more complicated than it has to be
👍
I thought you were supposed to advance the timing 50 degrees to the T marks to unload the cams and stop them from jumping?
Great video. I'm assuming the o2 sensor you've taken out is bank 2 sensor 1?
I replaced all 4. The air/fuel sensors are sensor 1 on each side and the after cat o2 sensors are sensor 2 on each side.
@gdupler1966 thanks much for the reply.
Damn I don’t want to do it seems like a lot of work , dealership charging $800 tho 😢
This is an excellent jobs. It’s like being at school, step by steps with all of the instructions you needed.
after using the o2 socket where does the other side come unplugged from? i got a 04 rx330 and don’t want to just pull it out without undoing it
I would recommend unplugging the wiring harness before you use the socket. Otherwise, it will twist the wiring and make it more complicated.
Are you saying the 2 front sensors (toward front of the engine) before cat are the same 02 sensor part #? I bought 2 was able to get the one in front right of the Heat Shroud, however the other upstream lower left... (the one going right into the pipe) that connector did not fit? so I had to return one.. I removed it and the holes on the tip of the sensor were different than the one on the right of the heat shroud.... Any info will help.. thx
The air/fuel sensors (before the catalytic converters) are the same. However, the engine is placed in the vehicle sideways. That means there are air/fuel sensors on each side of the engine. One is in the front (first one I described in the video) and the other is in the back of the engine, right next to the firewall (fourth one I described in the video). Hope that helps.
I don't understand why everyone takes the hole fan off in 2 pieces I just unbolted the housing bolts and pulled it off didn't have to take the fans off the pulley
Might even wanna put a thin bead of black caulk around it
Good point. It would be more waterproof.
Reset the check engine light.
Good video thank you. 🎉🎉🎉
I did change it from top easier.
Every backyard mechanic I ever met. "Just rip off the old one" lol
Did mine last week, came back to say thank you for the video.
can you not do this with the window down prior to removing the interior cover? seems like it would be easier.
Idk about banging on the nut and tie rod, I did that when I was starting too. Hitting the knuckle once for twice with the second hammer will usually do the trick. Hit it where the bj is and it will usually break apart. Pickle fork works… there’s a ball joint separator tool too. I only hit the tie rod or nut when I’m planning on changing them for sure.
To those needing this video be aware of door latch cables when putting back.
That's an AZ car. In NJ it would not be looking that good
TN. Agree that it wouldn't be as good in NJ.
First gen would make it about what year? Hard to tell from the video. Just curious
2000 to 2006 was first gen and this is a 2004.
I believe it's 2000 to 2006
Hi ,would a toyo sienna be about the same ? I have 272000 miles
Not the same, but the Sienna is doable. You will need an O2 socket and may have to remove an interior panel depending on which sensor you are replacing. There are a couple good specific videos on youtube and the placement is similar to a video I did on a Lexus RX 330.
@@gdupler1966 great information thank you
Fantastic presentation! You smartly replaced all the future troublesome parts for future maintenance. You gave a nice sequenced, yet detailed and concise explanation. Gives me confidence to buy this engine in a Toyota.
TIP: leave the serpantine belt on until you take off the fan. The belt helps hold the fan pulley.
When you installed your timing belt why didn't you use the marks? You have the crank marks CR on the Left cam , Left cam on right ETC?
Some timing belts have marks, others don't. I personally do not use belt marks, only the marks on the engine. No sweat if you prefer to use the belt marks.
Thanks!
I think my lexus gs430 has this engine
It is probably the 3UZ-FE engine. It is in the same family as the 2UZ in the trucks, but it has an aluminum block and heads versus the iron block in the trucks. It does have a timing belt and should be replaced at times with a similar procedure.
Nice under hood hot air intake
You know it. I have looked around for an air box but I have been too cheap to buy one that may, or may not, fit.
@@gdupler1966 I know. I fabbed a box. Gotta get some cooler air in there. Good video btw
@@robertmoore4637 Thanks. Fabbing a box is cool. If it works, all the better.
Looking at this and looks like the belt isn’t properly lined up with timing marks. CR on belt should be lined up with crank dot. Left hand should line up with drivers side. And right hand should be passenger side. Just a heads up to whoever does this.
Yes, you can use the marks on the belt and some people like to do that, but we have always focused on the marks on the block and the pulleys.
great video - I have a half functioning, sometimes works blower in my tundra. I know it is not the blower.
Certainly sounds like the resistor or the wiring harness.
Such great advice, thank you for posting
I purchased a 2000 Tundra new January 2000 I own it today and drive it almost every day. the third brake light assembly finally got so brittle from sunshine that it crumbled into pieces so I got an LED assembly to replace it. Here is the disclaimer, my truck was built in Indiana and the third brake light was adhered to the body/roof with an asphalt type sealant no need to remove headliner I replaced it today all is well. (before you stress over the "Built in Indiana part" , please do your homework )
No argument here. It is true that first gen Tundras were built in Indiana and they are some of the longest lasting trucks on the road.
My 03 SR5 just broke in with 100k miles but let’s keep that a secret.🤫🤑
It looks like you oriented The crush washer with the rounded side to be mated to the housing, but Toyota parts counter told me that the flat side is to go against the housing for proper seal for 2005 Highlander. Did you end up orienting with the rounded or flat side toward the housing?
Good question. If the Toyota parts and mechanic folks are saying orient the crush washer that way, I won't argue. I would say from my experience it doesn't matter as long as you use the proper torque and the washer actually crushes a bit.
@@gdupler1966Thanks! I do believe it makes sense. If you look closely at a used Toyota steel crush washer, there is a bit of a "step" on the originally rounded side. It makes sense that you would want the perfectly flat side to be sealed against the housing side of the differential or transfer case to avoid oil leakage from the interior of the differential or transfer case, to the exterior. How much difference it could potentially really makes might be negligible to nothing at all but it does make sense. Thanks for the video! I watched several of these before attempting the job and yours was helpful.
Great video brother, I bought my 2004 Toyota Tundra for my cousin and the squirrels did some serious damage to the wiring I just traced the wiring from the sensor on the front right hand side and found they were completely chewed through I just reconnected them disconnected the battery to let it reset I'm going to drive it around and see if it goes off my issues a little bit more difficult because my speedometer is not working I already replaced the vehicle speed sensor on the driver side of the tranny and that still didn't cut it
Thanks for the kind words! I don't envy you with the wiring issues. It may be good to pick up a new speed sensor and some other wiring harnesses from the junkyard as they rarely go bad without animals.
@@gdupler1966 ended up being chewed wires to the front passenger wheel speed/abs sensor. Reconnected those two wires and viola!
On jobs like this, the first start up, makes me nervous. 😬
True. All that time spent and if it doesn't start, time to go back through the steps...
Torque should be around 36 lb ft. I think the 2014-2019 Highlanders have the same diff. Loosen the filler and remove it so the fluid will drain a little quicker ( like removing your oil filler cap before taking out the drain plug ).
You are correct. Toyota service manual says 36 ft-lbs. Thanks!
“A-arm” 🫨
I always loosen the fan clutch with the belt on. It's like a built in strap wrench. If it slips just lean on the tensioner a bit.
Great point and I plan to do that on the next one.
I do have a question tho my upper right timing mark moved as I accidentally hit the sprocket while removing the water pump, will moving it back on to the timing mark cause an issue?
Just saw this, so I am sure you have already worked it out, but a slight bump while the belt is off can be fixed by slightly moving the sprocket back to the original position.
Hey thanks for the video
Hello there! Quick question: 1)how many miles do you get out of a full tank I noticed your gas gauge showed almost a full tank but you had gone 78 miles My 2004 DC tundra with 215k miles barely goes 180-200 miles on a full tank 2.5” lift 33s I noticed whitish exhaust (? Running too rich?) I’ve changed the MAF sensor Oxygen sensors Spark plugs and wires Cleaned the injectors Still approx 10 mpg I’ve heard some guys get 16-18mpg I’ve also heard the 2004 DC gearing is 4:10 which could be the problem Today I replaced the Vapor Canister Purge valve/canister
Ready for another 100k😊
Shouldn’t you replace the camshaft and crankshaft seals while you had all this off. Makes sense to do that when you get down to this level
I have an '04 sc430 and yours is the first video, and I watched many, that actually gave me a good idea of where these things are located. Thank you!! Also, thanks for the reminder to take my time and not to get frustrated.
Thanks for the kind words! I have been frustrated working on cars over the years and learned the hard way.
I wish you could do same thing to my car, I live in Columbus, Ohio , where are you located?
Thanks, but I just help with the videos and work on family stuff.
Thank you for making this step-by-step video. I will be doing this to my 04 Tundra DC in a few days and I will be watching your video along the way. It will save me at least $1k by doing it myself.
Great to hear that you are doing it yourself and saving money. I made the video to help.
Which one is bank 1 sensor 2
great video. I could not have gotten the job done without your insights!
Great to hear and happy to help!
Good video. Only thing I suggest is heat shrinking the leads individually.
How do i get the cams from spinning while i put the belt on
My Sequoia has 204k miles on it. It's preparing to get the timing belt, etc done for the 2nd time. It's overdue, I'm nervous about it, I still may have a shop do it. Thanks for the great vid.
