The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

The 2009 Toyota 4Runner left the factory with one of two engines — the 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) or the 4.7L V8 (2UZ-FE) — and in SR5, Sport or Limited trim. Torque values, clearances and the order of the steps change with that combination, so the figures you work to are the ones Toyota published for the 2009 model year rather than ones carried over from an adjacent year.

  • 4.0L 4000CC V6 GAS DOHC Naturally Aspirated
  • 4.7L V8 GAS Naturally Aspirated

Known issues on the 2009 4Runner. Five recalls sit on the federal record for this model year. One covers the accelerator pedal under vehicle speed control: a stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop. A second, from Southeast Toyota Distributors, covers the frontal air bag sensor and control module, where the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration. Two more are labeling recalls against Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims" — one from Southeast Toyota, where a driver may overload a vehicle, which may increase the risk of a crash, and one from Gulf States Toyota, whose labeling does not meet the standard requirements. The fifth covers the front seat heater: if damaged, the copper strand heating element may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire. There are also 33 owner complaints on record for this model year and 130 technical service bulletins.

Whether you are chasing a seat heater circuit, inspecting the accelerator pedal assembly or working through a scheduled service, the procedure and the specification you follow belong to your 2009 4Runner and the engine in front of you.
