We begin with an engine air filter inspection, checking media condition and sealing surfaces inside the air box.

Next, we inspect the cabin air filter behind the glove box; when replacement is needed, we fit a Toyota Genuine cabin filter and confirm airflow path. The intake housing and ducts are examined for cracks or loose connections, and the MAF area receives a visual check to help prevent unmetered air.
