To close the loop: I bought TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 200 2014 - 2021 SERVICE MANUAL - https://epcdepo.com/land-cruiser-200-urj200-vdj200-grj200-service.html and it is the original shop manual in electronic form from Toyota. It consists of a bunch of HTML, image, JavaScript files and more (a total...

EPCDEPO - parts catalog, service repair manual, diagnostic tool - https://epcdepo.com/ offers complete repair manual for 200 series for Windows OS. It looks like the same you get from Toyota at Toyota - New Subscription - https://techinfo.snapon.com/TIS/Register.aspx, except substantially...

I downloaded the FSM from this web site to my local computer. The manual has info buttons, which are hyperlinks to other local documentation. See example below. Are the documents that these hyperlinks point to available? The red encircled INFO button points to a local file at...

Thank you. Found the instructions for the RH. LH is similar. The difficulty is knowing the part name to search for it. Sharing for the community. Still after using contact cleaner (the contacts looked pretty clean), no difference. It looks like I have to replace the LH door control switch...

The driver side window power switch that controls the front passenger window is not working. The passenger side switch does work to power the passenger window. Hence, I suspect the power switch (red circle in attached photo) not working. I like to remove the plastic panel to access the switch...

It does make sense, and I agree that liquid fuel should not enter the char coal canister and topping off may make this more likely. However, at it is explained that EVAP systems have usually a shut off valve that prevents liquid fuel to flow into the EVAP line and into the canister. If such...

Sure, if you don't keep driving (road trip). For my knowledge, why does extra fuel not vent overboard and instead goes through a charcoal filter before exiting?

Interesting. What charcoal canister and what is its purpose? Thank you!

When calculating fuel economy, one has to do this multiple times and on consistent longer stretches of highway and average the results. There are too many variables even during mostly highway driving (long road trip), like head/tail wind, average speed, up/downhill, stop and go, tire pressure...

When topping off fuel at a gas station, the fuel dispenser automatically stops when the fuel tank is full. The stopping mechanism works mechanically via venturi effect through a small additional opening in the nozzle, that starts sucking in fuel when the tank is full and thus stopping the fuel...

Thank you. An additional point I found in my research is that aired down tires are better able to conform to the shape of sharp objects rather than being punctured by them.

To improve comfort and traction during off roading, deflating tire pressure by about 20% is common. But does this reduce puncture resistance?

What options exist for 200 series? I found custom spare tire carrier fits Jeep crv 4runner tacoma element more 5x114 6x139 | eBay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/395337974991 but this is for Toyota 4Runner. But seller said that he has never fabricated one for Land Cruiser. Thank you!

Some OBD 2 readers are able to also read proprietary data that are not part of the standard protocol. Looking for the most compatible reader for 200 series. Thank you!

In other words, you get what you pay for, and quality correlates with price, since commodity business?
