   start with the idea that it's a caliper....you know, like sqeezy things?   
   how mechanical are you? it's no big deal to pop off a wheel and then unbolt   
   the caliper from it's mount to look carefully at the pads. if it's down to   
   bare metal and the rotor has scours and ruts, you will need to replace the   
   rotor and pads.   
   if you replace one pad, at least do the opposite wheel also. if you have 4   
   wheel discs, i would do all the pads, even if the other 3 have some life.   
   if all of this sounds like martian, see a pro. and do it now. brakes are   
   relatively cheap to replace, you may not be...ok?   
   lots of online help in google and yahoo toyota groups also.   
   again, do it now!
