The 1990 Toyota Cressida typically requires about 2.5 to 3.0 pounds of refrigerant, specifically R-12 refrigerant. If the system has been retrofitted to use R-134a, the amount may vary slightly, often requiring a bit less. It's essential to consult the vehicle's service manual or a professional for precise specifications and recommendations.

The OD (overdrive) light flashing on your 1987 Toyota Cressida typically indicates a problem with the transmission. It could mean that the vehicle's onboard computer has detected a malfunction, such as issues with the transmission fluid, solenoids, or other related components. It's advisable to check the transmission fluid level and condition, and if the light persists, have the vehicle diagnosed by a professional mechanic to prevent potential damage.

The air gap for the AC clutch on a 1994 Toyota Corolla is typically around 0.020 to 0.030 inches (0.5 to 0.76 mm). This gap ensures proper engagement and disengagement of the clutch when the air conditioning system is activated. It's important to measure this gap accurately for optimal performance and to prevent premature wear. Adjustments can be made by adding or removing shims if necessary.

To disable the passenger airbag in a 2000 Toyota Corolla, locate the airbag switch, which is typically found on the side of the dashboard near the passenger door. Use the vehicle's key to turn the switch to the "Off" position. It's important to note that disabling the airbag may affect safety, so it should only be done if necessary and with caution. Always consult the owner's manual for specific instructions and safety recommendations.

To add refrigerant to a 1987 Toyota Cressida, first ensure the AC system is off and locate the low-pressure service port, usually found on the larger AC line. Attach a refrigerant can with a gauge to the port, then start the engine and turn on the AC to the maximum setting. Open the valve on the refrigerant can and monitor the pressure gauge, adding refrigerant until it reaches the recommended level. Be cautious not to overfill, and always wear safety gear to protect against refrigerant exposure.

To change the cabin air filter in a 2006 Toyota Corolla, start by opening the glove compartment and removing any contents. Next, unclip the stops on either side of the glove box to allow it to drop down. Locate the cabin air filter cover, usually secured by clips or screws, and remove it. Take out the old filter, insert the new one (ensuring the airflow direction is correct), and reassemble by reversing the steps.

To change the rear shock absorbers on a 1991 Toyota Cressida, you typically need to lift the rear of the vehicle and support it securely. The rear seats do not need to be removed for this process; instead, access to the top of the shock absorbers is achieved through the trunk. Remove the nuts securing the top of the shock, then unbolt the bottom attachment from the axle or control arm, and replace the shock. Finally, reassemble everything and ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
