Bench Testing: Brushes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 14 other vehicles, including the 2000 Toyota Tundra, 2000 Toyota Tacoma, 2000 Toyota Sienna, 2000 Toyota RAV4, and 2000 Toyota MR2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Brushes should slide smoothly in holders. Replace brushes if damaged or worn. On ECHO, MR2, Tundra and 4Runner, new brush exposed length should be .374-.453" (9.5-11.5 mm). On all other models, new brush exposed length should be .413" (10.5 mm).
- On all models, minimum exposed length should be more than .059" (1.5 mm). There are 2 different brush holders used. One brush holder is replaced as an assembly, and the other has replaceable brushes. If exposed brush length is less than minimum, replace brushes or brush holder assembly. Install new brush springs when replacing brushes.
