I have been dabbling in DIY small stuff, but now it's time to do something about my error codes. I would like to save the $ and try doing it myself. However, seeing the service manual is necessary. What is the cheapest way to gain access to that information? Any ideas appreciated.

I have since called the dealer's parts dept. They told me it must be ordered from "Helm." I spoke to them and was told the manual is 2 volumes at $110 apiece plus a $60 wiring diagram. Volume 1 is in stock and there is no estimation on Volume 2.

I am looking to do the following:

Heated O2 sensor
MAF sensor

Vaccuum switch valve
Charcoal canister

Does anyone know which volume these are in?
Is there any information on those things elsewhere?

I'm looking for the service manual pdfs that used to be hosted here until corporate Toyota sent them a cease and desist. Any chance someone downloaded the whole thing before that happened? PM me! And Julie too lol

 

While I'm at it, I think it's pretty hypocritical to say you support the modification of your cars while shutting down the only reliable and free sources of information we had access to. The great and generous folks at Scionlife were no doubt quite upset to be threatened by legal action just for providing these documents as an awesome resource for us true enthusiasts. Meanwhile some 'Scion Customer Advocate' folks show up on the forums to direct us to the new subscription-based Toyota Information System, which'll cost you 15$ for two day's time on their servers (Julie, maybe the fast solution for you...), or to Helm, Inc to order 200$ worth of hard copies.

Sorry for the tirade, I've simply had it with corporate thuggery and hypocrisy.
