Toyota Celica All Trac Workshop Manuals and Repair Manuals

To change the oil in a Toyota Celica All Trac, start by locating the oil drain plug underneath the car and placing a drain pan underneath it. Remove the drain plug with a wrench and let the old oil drain completely. Replace the drain plug and then remove the oil filter using an oil filter wrench. Install a new oil filter, tighten it securely, and finally, refill the engine with the recommended amount and type of oil.

To change the windshield wiper blades on a Toyota Celica All Trac, lift the wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks into a raised position. Locate the release tab on the wiper blade assembly and press it to remove the old blade. Align the new wiper blade with the wiper arm and slide it into place until it clicks securely. Gently lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield, ensuring proper contact and function.

To check and refill the coolant in a Toyota Celica All Trac, start by ensuring the engine is cool. Locate the coolant reservoir, which is typically a translucent plastic tank with a "Max" and "Min" marking. If the coolant level is below the "Min" mark, remove the cap and add a mixture of coolant and water until it reaches the "Max" mark. It is important to use the correct coolant type recommended by Toyota for optimal performance and to prevent any damage to the cooling system.

When the check engine light illuminates in a Toyota Celica All Trac, it indicates a potential issue with the engine or emission control system. To diagnose the problem, you can use an OBD-II scanner to retrieve the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in the vehicle's computer. Once you have the DTCs, you can research their meanings or consult a repair manual to determine the possible causes. It is recommended to address the underlying issue as soon as possible to prevent further damage or reduced performance.

To jump-start a Toyota Celica All Trac, you will need a set of jumper cables and a donor vehicle with a charged battery. Park the donor vehicle close to the Celica, making sure both engines are turned off. Connect the red (positive) jumper cable clamp to the positive terminal of the dead battery, then connect the other red clamp to the positive terminal of the donor battery. Connect the black (negative) clamp to the negative terminal of the donor battery, and finally, attach the remaining black clamp to a metal, unpainted surface of the Celica's engine. Start the donor vehicle, let it run for a few minutes, then try starting the Celica.

To replace a burnt-out headlight bulb in a Toyota Celica All Trac, open the hood and locate the back of the headlight assembly. Twist and remove the headlight bulb socket, then carefully remove the old bulb from the socket. Avoid touching the new bulb with bare hands and insert it into the socket. Reinsert the socket into the headlight assembly and twist it to secure it in place. Test the new bulb by turning on the headlights before closing the hood.

To replace the brake pads on a Toyota Celica All Trac, start by safely raising and supporting the vehicle. Remove the wheels to access the brake calipers. Use a wrench or socket to remove the caliper bolts or pins, then slide the caliper off the brake rotor. Take out the old brake pads and use a suitable tool to compress the caliper piston. Install the new brake pads, ensuring they are properly aligned and secured. Slide the caliper back onto the rotor and tighten the bolts or pins. Repeat the process for the remaining wheels, then reinstall the wheels and lower the vehicle.

To replace the cabin air filter in a Toyota Celica All Trac, locate the cabin air filter housing, which is typically located behind the glove compartment. Open the glove compartment and remove any contents. Release the clips or screws securing the filter housing cover and remove it. Take out the old cabin air filter and replace it with a new one, ensuring it is properly aligned. Reattach the filter housing cover and close the glove compartment.

To replace the fuel filter in a Toyota Celica All Trac, start by relieving the fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump fuse or relay and then cranking the engine until it stalls. Locate the fuel filter, which is usually along the fuel line under the vehicle. Use line wrenches to disconnect the fuel lines from the filter. Remove the old fuel filter and install the new one, ensuring the flow direction is correct. Reconnect the fuel lines, tighten the fittings, and reinstall the fuel pump fuse or relay.

To replace the serpentine belt in a Toyota Celica All Trac, start by locating the belt tensioner, usually located near the top of the engine. Use a wrench or socket to rotate the tensioner and release tension on the belt. Slide the old belt off the pulleys, making note of the correct routing. Install the new belt, following the correct routing diagram or the markings on the engine. Rotate the tensioner again to allow the new belt to slide onto the pulleys, then release the tensioner to apply proper tension.

To replace the spark plugs in a Toyota Celica All Trac, start by disconnecting the negative battery cable. Locate the spark plug wires or ignition coils, depending on the model, and remove them carefully. Use a spark plug socket and ratchet to remove the old spark plugs. Check the gap on the new spark plugs and adjust if necessary. Install the new spark plugs, tighten them to the recommended torque, and reconnect the spark plug wires or ignition coils. Finally, reconnect the negative battery cable.

If a power window in a Toyota Celica All Trac is not functioning properly, start by checking the fuse related to the power windows in the fuse box. If the fuse is intact, test the window switch by swapping it with a known working switch from another window. If the switch is not the issue, use a multimeter to check for power at the window motor when activating the switch. If there is power but the window still doesn't work, the motor or regulator may need to be replaced.

The air filter in a Toyota Celica All Trac should typically be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, or as recommended by the manufacturer. However, if you frequently drive in dusty or dirty conditions, it may need to be replaced more often. A clogged or dirty air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, reducing performance and fuel efficiency. To replace the air filter, locate the air filter housing, remove the cover, and swap out the old filter for a new one.

The recommended tire pressure for a Toyota Celica All Trac is typically listed on a sticker located on the driver's side door jamb or in the owner's manual. It is important to follow the recommended tire pressure as it ensures optimal handling, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity. To check and adjust the tire pressure, use a tire pressure gauge and add or release air as necessary.
