Land Cruiser 100 Headlight Motor Pump
Hi all, just picked my 2003 model 100 series from Toyota after they checked out why my ABS warning light comes on at times. Been told that the computer is telling them it could be a faulty hydro boost pump being damaged by somebody replacing the brake fluid with the wrong stuff.If the fault comes back I need a new boost pump at a cost of close to $3000 plus labour and stuffSo I said how about we replace the brakefluid for starters so it cant do more damage. Come back was. It is to late the damage is done. I said but you don't even know if there is damage or if it is caused be using the wrong fluid so can we please change the brake fluid to the correct one to prevent further damage.( It had green stuff in it which Toyota don't use)It took some talking to get the car booked in for a complete brake fluid change. So that is next wednesday the 20th of August.I had a 40 series Landcruiser diesel for 22 years and still have a 94 model cab chassis diesel (HZ) and never had much drama with those cars.
I just bought this one with 160.000 km on the clock and in real good condition.I don't feel like paying $3500 for a brake thing and I never had ABS before so can I just turn the ABS of maybe by pulling a fuse or is there a way to fix this booster thing cheaper? Wrecker maybe?Any feedback would be great Thanks. Click to expand.You are right in that there is no vacuum from the inlet manifold, as there is on a petrol-engine car, but Toyotas have a vacuum pump low down on the front of the motor.My '95 Colorado' has a vacuum brake servo and the EGR valve is operated by solenoid valves that use vacuum to operate the valve on the exhaust feed.My 100 has a vacuum pump as well, and uses the same solenoid valves to control the vacuum-operated EGR valve. For some reason Toyota decided to go for an electric pump and a pressure reservoir for the brakes instead.It might have something to do with the space available but it results in one hell of a single point of failure.Bob. Bob, you think the 100's are complicated. My wife just 'touched' a wall in our new golf and a warning came up saying to take to dealer.

She had dislodged the anti collision radar dish which needed resetting and recalibrating. I think the Eurofighter has one of those! It put the brakes on the other day as it thought my closing speed on a moving car in front was too high.I told my wife to sign the papers at VW with 'FOC' underneath. They didn't check her signature and weren't very happy when we picked the car up. Long story but they owe me £3000 in my book.
Back to the 100's brakes.I believe the booster-brakes of the 100 gives more braking force than a vacuum system could give. At least the pressure is higher than the 1 bar (theoretical) that a vacuum system could give.Anyhow, without an operational booster, you have virtually no brakes at all, only a very small effect on the front wheels, if you have strong quadriceps.One known problem with the booster motor is that the brushes wear out, sometimes at only 2-300 k km. It could be possible to change them, but they are not replaceable according to t0yota. There are some threads on this on mud.Wrecker parts is a good option - then you get the master changed as well (otherwise, you can get the piston seals as maintenance parts)Btw, the booster will not manage to keep the pressure up if you pump the brakes rapidly several times within a short time, and that will give you warning lights.How does the booster sound when you turn on the ignition (don't start the engine) after emptying the booster's pressure? That could give you some indication on the state of the motor and pump. Back to the 100's brakes.I believe the booster-brakes of the 100 gives more braking force than a vacuum system could give.

Mine sounds like that as well - I suspect it's on it's way out. Not too worried tho', as I have a spare one waiting. Maybe I'll just change it one day, rather than waiting to be stranded.Also, on my 2000, the pressure would keep overnight, with the pump running maybe only 3 secs when starting in the morning.
On my 2004, the booster pressure is gone after 1/2 hour, and the pump runs for maybe 20 secs to fill it up again. This, of course, will wear the motor faster.
If you have an older 100 series Land Cruiser you may have noticed that Toyota gave the 100 series models some cosmetic updates along the years and you can update yours too.In 2003 Toyota gave the Land Cruiser a slight face lift by fitting a larger grill but maintained the multi-piece headlamp/running lamp assemblies. The grill was changed again for 2006 and Toyota changed out the head lamps to a one piece plastic unit with an improved reflector design. Also for 2006 new tail lamps were fitted with LED bulbs.Naturally you can fit these components to your older model Land Cruiser 100 Series by simply visiting you Toyota parts counter and buying the appropriate parts but I would shop around. Many Toyota dealers have an online presence and offer parts at a significant discount.

Sub panel clips #0 (x2). Sub panel screws #4 (x2). Headlamp to fender grommet #2 (x2). Headlamp to fender screw #3 (x2). Remove all the lights, grill, and bumper cover. The trim piece that goes between the lights/grill and bumper must be removed by taking out the 2 pop rivets on each side.
Then the fenders have to be trimmed a little. The portion of the fender where the top pop rivet was has to be trimmed off at an angle enough for the new lights to clear.
Hold the new lights up to see how much you have to trim. Also, the edge of the fender inside where the side marker was has to be timmed back all the way around the edges. Take off roughly 1/8″ all the way around and sand/prime/paint all the edges you cut.
Install new retainer bracket. On the sides where the rivets were, put a low profile bolt with a lock washer and nut on the back. Some other trimming may need to be done the to the inside of the bumper skin (if you have a newer bumper/grill you probably wouldn’t have to do this), there are some clip on plastic supports underneath.
You will see what has to be trimmed when you try to put the skin back over. Go ahead and attach the bumper back on. The middle bumper support on top has an additional arm above it that used to attach the old bracket.
That upper arm must be moved/removed for the new grill to fit later. You could just bend it down and out of the way.
