Toyota 1DZ-II engine factory workshop and repair manual download

Tools & PPE
- Safety glasses, nitrile gloves
- Wheel chocks
- 10 mm and 12 mm sockets, 1/4" and 3/8" ratchets (extensions)
- Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers
- Trim/pry tool (plastic)
- Needle‑nose pliers
- Small pick or flat blade to depress connector tabs
- Torque wrench (optional, low-range)
- Clean lint‑free cloth or paper towel
- Dielectric grease
- Replacement headlight bulb or assembly (see "Parts" below)
- Container for old bulbs (for safe disposal)

Safety precautions (must do before starting)
1. Park forklift on level ground, key OFF, parking brake set, wheels chocked.
2. Remove ignition key and disable any accessory power. If machine has a battery disconnect switch, set to OFF.
3. If vehicle uses LPG, ensure system is shut down per manufacturer procedures (this usually means engine OFF and normal checks; you are not working on fuel system so leaving tank in place is fine).
4. Wear safety glasses and gloves. Avoid touching new halogen bulb glass with bare fingers.
5. Work with good light and stable footing. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby if working around batteries/charging.

Parts required
- Correct replacement bulb or sealed headlight assembly for your machine. Do not guess — verify part number from the existing bulb/assembly or service manual. Common options:
- Replace just the bulb (typical halogen H4/HB2-style in many Toyota industrial units)
- Replace whole headlight assembly if lens is cracked, housing damaged, or if electrical connector/seal is compromised
- New rubber dust boot or sealing gasket if original is damaged
- Small amount of dielectric grease for connectors

Step-by-step replacement (bulb replacement; assembly replacement notes below)

1) Access the headlight
- Locate headlight on machine. On many Toyota industrial machines you access from front grill or by opening a front access panel. Remove any plastic bezel or grille retaining screws (Phillips or 10 mm) using screwdriver or socket.
- Use a trim tool to gently pry off plastic clips if required. Keep track of screws/clips.

2) Expose the rear of the lamp
- Once bezel/grille removed, you should see the back of the headlight housing and the bulb cover (rubber dust boot) or the sealed beam retaining screws.
- If there is a rubber boot, pull it off by hand (use a flat screwdriver to lever if stuck).

3) Disconnect electrical connector
- Depress the locking tab and pull the connector straight off the bulb. If stuck, gently work the connector side-to-side — do not pull on wires.
- If the connector has locking tangs, use a small pick to release them.

4) Remove the bulb or sealed beam
- For a bulb with spring clip: push the clip slightly and unhook it, swing it away, and lift the bulb out.
- For twist-in bulbs: rotate the bulb counterclockwise (usually 1/4 turn) and pull straight out.
- For sealed beam units: remove retaining screws/bolts with appropriate socket or screwdriver and pull the whole assembly out.

5) Install new bulb
- Handle only by the plastic base. If you touch glass, clean with alcohol and lint‑free cloth immediately. Oils from fingers will cause hot spots and early failure.
- Insert the bulb into the housing in the correct orientation. For twist-in types, rotate clockwise to lock. For spring-clipped bulbs, position and re-seat the spring over the bulb base securely.
- Refit rubber dust boot or new gasket to maintain a watertight seal.

6) Reconnect electrical connector
- Apply a tiny smear of dielectric grease to the pins (prevents corrosion). Plug connector in until it clicks. Ensure wires are routed clear of moving parts and hot surfaces.

7) Test operation
- Reconnect battery/disconnect switch, remove wheel chocks only if needed for testing, and turn key to run position (or use auxiliary power) to test low and high beams and turn signals if relevant.
- If lamp does not light, recheck connector, bulb seating, and fuses/relays.

8) Aim the headlight (basic field alignment)
- Park 7–10 m (25–33 ft) from a flat wall on level ground with vehicle perpendicular to the wall.
- Mark the wall at headlight center height and a vertical centerline.
- Turn on low beams and adjust headlight aim screws until beam cutoff aligns ~down a few inches below the horizontal mark at the test distance (consult service manual for exact specs).
- Lock adjusters once proper aim is achieved.

9) Reassemble trim and secure everything
- Reinstall bezel/grille and screws/clips. Do not overtighten plastic fasteners — snug only.
- Ensure no wiring is pinched and housing seals firmly against ingress.

10) Dispose of old bulbs properly
- Halogen bulbs can be disposed of with household waste in many regions but check local regulations. HID bulbs require special disposal.

Assembly replacement notes
- If replacing the whole assembly, remove the securing bolts (usually 10–12 mm), disconnect wiring and remove assembly. Transfer any bulbs/connectors as needed to new assembly or fit new bulbs. Fit new seals/gaskets and torque bolts snug (hand-tight + 1/8 turn; avoid stripping plastic threads). Re-route wiring and test before reattaching bezel.

How each tool is used (concise)
- Ratchet/socket: remove bolts securing bezel or assembly. Use proper socket size (10/12 mm common).
- Screwdrivers: remove screws and gently pry clips or dust boot. Flat blade for lever/pick action to release tabs.
- Pliers/pick: depress small locking tangs on electrical connectors.
- Trim tool: remove plastic clips without damaging panels.
- Torque wrench: optional, for controlled final tightening of bolts if required.

Common pitfalls & how to avoid them
- Touching halogen bulb glass: causes premature failure. Use gloves or handle by base only.
- Pulling on wires: always pull the connector body, not the wires; otherwise you’ll break pins or wires.
- Not sealing dust boot: leads to moisture/fogging and corrosion. Replace damaged boots/gaskets.
- Over-torquing plastic fasteners: strips threads — snug only.
- Wrong bulb type: verify part number stamped on old bulb or service manual before buying.
- Not testing high/low beams separately: failure may be a wiring or relay/fuse issue, not the bulb.
- Re-aiming not performed: misaligned beams cause poor illumination and glare to others.
- For LED retrofits: check vehicle voltage, polarity, and heat dissipation — many LED kits need resistors or CAN bus adapters on forklifts.

Final checks
- Confirm both low and high beams work, check beam aim, ensure seals and fasteners secure.
- Keep old bulbs and part numbers for future reference.

Done.
