- Using vacuum pump, apply.59 in. Hg of vacuum to vapor pressure sensor. Ensure output voltage is within specification. See «VAPOR SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE»(ref-91238-S28034794282001030600000) table.
- Release vacuum from vapor pressure sensor. Ensure output voltage is within specification. See «VAPOR SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE»(ref-91238-S28034794282001030600000) table.
- Apply.22 psi (.015 kg/cm 2 ) of pressure to vapor pressure sensor. Ensure output voltage is within specification. See «VAPOR SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE»(ref-91238-S28034794282001030600000) table. Replace vapor sensor if output voltage is not within specification. Reconnect vacuum hose.

Vapor Pressure Sensor Vacuum Switching Valve
- Remove vapor pressure sensor Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV). See «VAPOR PRESSURE SENSOR VSV LOCATION»(ref-91238-S24447736142001030600000) table. (Scheme 192)- (Scheme 196). VAPOR PRESSURE SENSOR VSV LOCATION Application Location Camry, Camry Solara, Celica & Corolla On Charcoal Canister, Near Fuel Tank RAV4, Tacoma & 4Runner On Top Of Charcoal Canister
- Using ohmmeter, ensure continuity exists between electrical terminals on vapor pressure sensor VSV and resistance is within specification. See «VAPOR PRESSURE SENSOR VSV RESISTANCE»(ref-91238-S38427888952001030600000) table. Replace vapor pressure sensor VSV if no continuity exists or resistance is not within specification. VAPOR PRESSURE SENSOR VSV RESISTANCE Application Ohms @ 68°F (20°C) Camry, Camry Solara & Celica 33-39 Corolla 37-44 RAV4 33-39 Tacoma & 4Runner 37-44
- Ensure no continuity exists between each electrical terminal and body of vapor pressure sensor VSV. Replace vapor pressure sensor VSV if continuity exists between electrical terminal and body of vapor pressure sensor VSV.
- To test vapor pressure sensor VSV operation, apply air pressure to port "E". Ensure air flows from port "G" and not from port "F". Perform STEP 1. (Scheme 209)
- Apply battery voltage and ground to electrical terminals on vapor pressure sensor VSV. Apply air pressure to port "E". Ensure air flows from port "F" and not from port "G". Perform STEP 2. (Scheme 209) Replace vapor pressure sensor VSV if defective.

POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV)
- Remove PCV valve. (Scheme 192)- (Scheme 196). Apply air pressure to PCV valve at cylinder head side of PCV valve. Ensure air flows easily through PCV valve.
- Apply air pressure to PCV valve at intake manifold side of PCV valve. Ensure air flows through PCV valve with some resistance. Replace PCV valve if valve does not function as described.

- Start engine and warm engine to normal operating temperature. Ensure idle speed is within specification. See IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE in ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS - 4-CYLINDER article.
- Shut engine off. Disconnect and plug vacuum hose at throttle opener. (Scheme 210) Start engine. Maintain engine speed at 2500 RPM. Release throttle and note engine speed. Engine speed should be 1300-1500 RPM with electric cooling fan off.
- If engine speed is not within specification, loosen lock nut (if equipped) and rotate throttle opener adjusting screw until correct engine speed is obtained. (Scheme 211) Tighten lock nut (if equipped). Reinstall vacuum hose on throttle opener.
