The 2003 Toyota Sequoia came with a single engine for the model year, the 4.7L V8 (2UZ-FE), a naturally aspirated DOHC gasoline unit, in two trim levels. This service and repair manual is the one written for that year and that drivetrain, so the numbers you work to are Toyota's own rather than a close approximation borrowed from a neighboring year.

Known issues on the 2003 Sequoia. Six recalls are on federal record for this vehicle, and four of them involve the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator. Two are recorded against the frontal passenger inflator module, where an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. Two more sit under air bags and cover the passenger's frontal air bag inflator in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of that bag. A fifth recall covers the front suspension lower ball joint: a manufacturing issue may have left the surface of the ball scratched, and the lower ball joint may separate from the knuckle causing loss of steering control. The sixth covers electronic stability control, where the center position of the steering angle sensor may not be stored; should this occur, the vehicle may not accelerate as quickly as the driver expects. Owners have submitted 875 complaints against the 2003 Sequoia, and 89 technical service bulletins have been issued for it.
Whether you are chasing a stability control fault back to the steering angle sensor, inspecting a front lower ball joint, or working through routine service on the 4.7L V8, it keeps you on Toyota's procedure and the correct figure for this 2003 Sequoia.
