If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.

If there is an overload in the circuits
The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.
CAUTION
■
To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may cause damage, and possibly a fire or injury.
●
Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than indicated, or use any
other object in place of a fuse.
●
Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.
This can cause extensive damage or even fire.
●
Do not modify fuses or the fuse box.
NOTICE

Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
