12.1.3. Safety locks
Arrangement of the block of safety locks (Avalon)
| The block of safety locks on the Avalon cars is mounted under the dashboard to the left of a steering column. |
Block of the relay and safety locks (Solara and Camry)
| On the Solara and Camry cars the uniform block of the relay and safety locks is located in a motor compartment. On the Avalon cars blocks of the relay and safety locks separate. |
Relay arrangement
| Some relays are mounted near a suspension bracket cap from the driver. |
Chains of electric equipment of the car are protected by safety locks, breakers or fusible crossing points. The assembly block of safety locks is mounted in salon or in a motor compartment, depending on year of release and model of the car.
Safety locks are established on contacts of knife type and get by hand.
| The fused safety lock easily is found on appearance. |
It is also possible to check tension on conclusions. The safety lock fused if the voltmeter shows tension. To replace a safety lock get faulty and insert new, having pushed it into a nest.
The rated current of a new safety lock has to correspond in accuracy to current of replaced. The rated current is specified on a safety lock. It is forbidden to use wire pieces instead of a safety lock. If the new safety lock immediately fuses, then find the reason and eliminate. As a rule burn-out is caused by short circuit of wires because of an isolation mastication.
