Everything in this factory service and repair manual is written to the 2001 Toyota Sequoia as it left the plant, from the 4.7L V8 (2UZ-FE) under the hood to the trim on the door tag, so the specifications and torque sequences you work to are the ones Toyota published for this truck rather than figures carried across from an adjacent year.

Known issues on the 2001 Sequoia. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first is a service brake hydraulics recall covering certain Cardone master cylinders, where a loss of brake fluid can result in poor braking performance, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. The second is an exterior lighting recall covering certain CK Motorsports combination headlights, clear corner, bumper and side marker lights sold as replacement lamps: without the amber reflectors, the vehicle will be poorly illuminated. The third is a wheels recall covering certain 4x2 vehicles equipped with an alloy wheel tire upgrade installed by the processing centers, where different operating characteristics can be experienced when the spare tire is installed. Owners have filed 857 complaints for the year, and Toyota has issued 97 technical service bulletins.
Whether you are bleeding the brake hydraulics after a master cylinder swap, tracing a lighting circuit that will not pass inspection, or sorting out the wheels and spare, it keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the specification that belongs to this 2001 Sequoia.
