Engine Controls - Basic Diagnostic Procedures - 4-cylinder Toyota Camry Solara I

INTRODUCTION

Note. On Camry gasoline models and Camry Solara, an engine immobilizer system may be used. Engine immobilizer system is a theft deterrent system which disables the engine from starting by not allowing ignition system operation and fuel injector operation unless ignition key identification code matches identification code stored in Engine Control Module (ECM). On Camry, engine immobilizer system is standard feature on XLE models. On Camry Solara, engine immobilizer system is an optional feature on SE 4-cylinder models. For additional information on system operation and testing, see appropriate ENGINE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEMS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.

The following diagnostic steps will help prevent overlooking a simple problem. This is also where to begin diagnosis for a no-start condition. The first step in diagnosing any driveability problem is verifying the customer's complaint with a test drive under the conditions problem reportedly occurred.

Before entering self-diagnostics, perform a careful and complete visual inspection. Most engine control problems result from mechanical breakdowns, poor electrical connections or damaged/misrouted vacuum hoses. Before condemning the computerized system, perform each test listed in this article.

Note. Perform all voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure.

VISUAL INSPECTION

Visually inspect all electrical wiring, looking for chafed, stretched, cut or pinched wiring. Ensure electrical connectors fit tightly and are not corroded. Ensure vacuum hoses are properly routed and are not pinched or cut. See VACUUM DIAGRAMS article to verify routing and connections (if necessary). Inspect air induction system for possible vacuum leaks.

Compression (Camry CNG & Gasoline Models, Camry Solara, Celica, Corolla, ECHO & RAV4)

Warm engine to normal operating temperature before checking the compression. Ensure battery is fully charged. Disconnect electrical connector(s) at ignition coil(s). Remove spark plugs. Check engine mechanical condition with a compression gauge, vacuum gauge, or engine analyzer with throttle fully open. See engine analyzer manual for specific instructions. See COMPRESSION SPECIFICATIONS table. Install and tighten spark plugs to 13 ft. lbs. (18 N.m).

Compression (Tacoma & 4Runner)

1. Warm engine to normal operating temperature before checking the compression. Remove intake air connector for access to spark plugs. Intake air connector fits between air cleaner hose and throttle body.
2. Disconnect electrical connectors at ignition coils. Remove spark plugs. Check engine mechanical condition with a compression gauge, vacuum gauge, or engine analyzer with throttle fully open. See engine analyzer manual for specific instructions. See «COMPRESSION SPECIFICATIONS»(/toyota/camry-solara/i-1998-2003/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-basic-diagnostic-procedures-4-cylinder) table. Install and tighten spark plugs to 15 ft. lbs. (20 N.m).

Note. On Camry CNG models, 2 different fuel system pressure release procedures exist. Procedure using fuel manual shutoff valve releases fuel pressure in fuel system components and fuel lines from fuel manual shutoff valve forward. Procedure for disconnecting fuel tank fuel shutoff valve and fuel tank fuel temperature sensor releases fuel pressure in fuel system for servicing of fuel tank and fuel lines between fuel tank and fuel manual shutoff valve.

Scheme 46

1. Rotate handle on fuel manual shutoff valve to CLOSED position. Fuel manual shutoff valve is located near driver's side rear tire, underneath the vehicle, near fuel lines just below fuel tank behind the rear seat. (Scheme 46)
2. Start engine and allow engine to idle until engine stalls. Ensure fuel gauge indicates EMPTY. If fuel gauge does not indicate EMPTY, restart engine and allow engine to idle again until engine stalls. If engine will not start, crank engine for a few seconds to release any residual fuel pressure. Turn ignition off. Wait at least 5 seconds after turning ignition off and then disconnect negative battery cable. Fuel pressure should be released from the fuel lines and fuel system components may be serviced.

EFI main relay is then energized and provides battery voltage to circuit opening relay, data link connector No. 1 and various other electrical components. EFI main relay also provides battery voltage to +B terminal of Engine Control Module (ECM) when ignition is turned on. For EFI main relay location, see EFI MAIN RELAY LOCATION table.
