1989 Toyota Pickup Service and Repair Manual

The 1989 Toyota Pickup was built around two engines — the 2.4L four (22R / 22R-EC / 22R-TEC) and the 3.0L SOHC V6 (3VZ-E) — across 1 Ton, Base, DX and SR5 trucks in regular cab and Extra Cab form, automatic and standard. This service and repair manual is tied to that model year and to the exact truck it covers, so the clearances, torque values and adjustment sequences you work from are the ones Toyota published for that build rather than numbers carried over from a neighboring year.

Known issues on the 1989 Pickup. Two recalls are on federal record for this truck. One covers the steering linkage relay rod on certain pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, where the steering wheel is repeatedly turned under conditions that require high steering effort and power assist; if the vehicle is continued to be operated in this condition, the relay rod may fracture. The other is an equipment recall on exterior lighting: K2 Motor recalled 1,921 aftermarket headlamps of various models sold for use on these vehicles because the headlamps are missing the amber side reflex reflector, and without the amber side reflex reflectors the lighting visibility may be affected. Owners have registered 30 complaints against the 1989 Pickup, and 7 technical service bulletins have been issued.

Inspecting the steering linkage, tracing a lighting fault or working a routine service interval, you stay on Toyota’s own procedure and the specification that belongs to your 1989 Pickup.
