2009 Toyota Sequoia Service and Repair Manual

Fitment is what makes this one usable: the 2009 Toyota Sequoia service and repair manual is tied to this model year and to the engine actually sitting in the bay — the 5.7L V8 (3UR-FBE, 3UR-FE) or the 4.7L V8 (2UZ-FE) — so the specifications and tightening sequences you work to are the ones Toyota published for this truck, not a figure carried over from an adjacent year or a different powerplant.

Known issues on the 2009 Sequoia. Eight recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two of them land on the hydraulic power assist steering gear assembly — one on assemblies that may have been manufactured incorrectly, one on JTEKT power steering gear assembly service parts — where an oil leak may cause a sudden loss of power steering assist, increasing the risk of a crash. Two more cover the power window devices and controls: on the first, the switch may overheat and melt, possibly resulting in a fire; on the second, the sliding electrical contacts may not be protected by lubricant. Another covers the accelerator pedal, which may become hard to depress or slow to return to idle. A tire pressure monitoring recall addresses a failure to warn of tire deflations, a non-compliance with FMVSS 138 that could lead to tire failure. A seat heater recall covers a copper strand heating element that, if damaged, may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire. The remaining recall, from Gulf States Toyota, is a labeling non-compliance with the federal tire selection and rims standard, where the label does not meet the standard requirements. Owners have filed 9 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 89 technical service bulletins.

Whether the job is a weeping steering gear, an overheated power window switch or a scheduled service on the 5.7L, it keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the right figure for this 2009 Sequoia.
