If no DTCs are present and a driveability condition exists, proceed to «TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES»(ref-133220) article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, ENGINE STALLS, etc.).
  7. Verification Procedure After repairs have been completed, clear all DTCs from ECM. See «CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES»(ref-133207-S20923646992002021900000) . Perform road test. Ensure no DTCs exist and all symptoms and/or complaints have been repaired.

RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

Note. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) may be retrieved using Toyota hand-held tester or On-Board Diagnostic (OBD-II) scan tool that complies with SAE standard J-1978. Toyota hand-held tester or OBD-II scan tool may be operated in NORMAL mode when retrieving DTCs. Only Toyota hand-held tester may be used in CHECK mode when retrieving DTCs.

NORMAL mode is used to retrieve DTCs from Engine Control Module (ECM). CHECK mode is used to check for DTCs when operating vehicle to simulate conditions during which DTC was set. CHECK mode contains a higher sensing ability to detect malfunctions. CHECK mode helps determine malfunctions caused by poor electrical connections or intermittent problems which are difficult to determine using NORMAL mode.

Note. If using Toyota hand-held tester, when ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF position, hand-held tester is switched from NORMAL mode to CHECK mode or from CHECK MODE to NORMAL mode, all DTCs and freeze frame data will be erased from ECM. DO NOT switch modes until all DTCs and freeze frame data have been recorded.

NORMAL Mode Diagnostic Trouble Code Retrieval

  1. Connect Toyota hand-held tester or scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC) No. 3. see scheme 1 Turn ignition on with engine off. Turn hand-held tester or scan tool on. Using hand-held tester or scan tool manufacturer's instructions, check for DTCs and freeze frame data.
  2. If hand-held tester or scan tool does not display UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, go to next step. If hand-held tester or scan tool displays UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, see «DATA LINK CONNECTOR NO. 3 INSPECTION»(ref-133207-S29721248932002021900000) under SCAN TOOL PROBLEMS.
  3. Record any DTCs and freeze frame data displayed for system diagnosis. If driveability problem exist and no DTCs are present, go to «TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES»(ref-133220) article for diagnosis by symptom.
  4. If any DTCs are present, perform appropriate DTC test under «DIAGNOSTIC TESTS»(ref-133207-S17242210612002021900000). For DTC descriptions, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(ref-133207-S33147453882002021900000) table under DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS. For more information on freeze frame data, see «FREEZE FRAME DATA»(ref-133207-S35946108712002021900000). For information on two-trip detection logic codes, see «TWO-TRIP DETECTION LOGIC»(ref-133207-S00275192152002021900000).
  5. After repairs for DTC have been completed, DTC must be cleared from ECM. See «CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES»(ref-133207-S20923646992002021900000). Road test vehicle to ensure all symptoms and/or complaints have been repaired.

CHECK Mode Diagnostic Trouble Code Retrieval (Toyota Hand-Held Tester Only)

Note. If using Toyota hand-held tester, if ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF position during CHECK mode, all DTCs and freeze frame data will be erased from ECM. DO NOT switch from CHECK mode to NORMAL mode until all DTCs and freeze frame data are recorded.

CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

  1. After performing repairs, clear Engine Control Module (ECM) memory of all stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and freeze frame data. DTCs and freeze frame data may be cleared by using scan tool and scan tool manufacturer's instructions. Using scan tool or Toyota hand-held tester, follow the manufacturer's instructions and clear DTCs and freeze frame data from ECM.
  2. DTCs and freeze fame data may also be cleared by removing EFI fuse (20-amp). EFI fuse is located in fuse/relay box at driver's side front corner of engine compartment. DTCs and freeze frame data may also be cleared by disconnecting negative battery cable. However, other memory functions (clock, radio, alarm, seats, etc.) will be cleared and must be reset.

TEST DRIVE CONFIRMATION

  1. On certain Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC), once DTC has been cleared from ECM memory, a DTC test drive confirmation test can be performed to verify repairs are made and that DTC does not reset. Test drive confirmation test will duplicate conditions required to set specified DTCs.
  2. Test drive confirmation test lists the procedure to be performed to check that DTC does not reset. Test drive confirmation tests apply only to specific DTCs. Test drive confirmation test will be included within proper DTC test under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS.

  2. Start engine and allow it to idle. Disconnect Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Oil Control Valve (OCV) and note idle speed. VVT OCV is located on front cylinder head, next to intake manifold. Engine idle speed should not change. Using jumper wires, apply battery voltage and ground to VVT OCV terminals (component side). Engine should idle rough or stall. If VVT OCV operates as specified, go to next step. If VVT OCV does not operate as specified, go to step 4.
  3. Turn ignition off. Connect VVT OCV harness connector. Access ECM behind glove box. see scheme 2 Using oscilloscope, backprobe ECM harness connector and connect oscilloscope between terminals No. 19 (Green/White wire) and No. 29 (Yellow/red wire) at ECM harness connector E9. (Scheme 98) Start engine and let idle. Ensure oscilloscope pattern is as shown in illustration. (Scheme 108) As engine speed is increased, waveform frequency ("A") should lengthen. If waveform pattern is as shown, no problem is indicated at this time. DTC may have been set because of a foreign object that was temporarily caught in the engine oil system but after a short time system returned to normal. If waveform pattern is not as shown, replace ECM.
  4. Turn ignition off. Check VVT controller assembly for proper operation. See appropriate article in ENGINES. If problem does not exist, go to next step. If problem exists, replace VVT controller assembly and go to next step.
  5. Disconnect VVT OCV harness connector. Measure resistance between VVT OCV terminals (component side). Resistance should be 6.9-7.9 ohms at 68°F (20°C). If resistance is as specified, go to next step. If resistance is not as specified, replace VVT OCV.
  6. Remove VVT OCV. Connect a fused jumper wire between positive battery terminal and terminal No. 1 at VVT OCV. (Scheme 109) Connect another jumper wire between negative battery terminal and terminal No. 2 at VVT OCV and note VVT OCV plunger operation. With battery voltage applied, plunger on end of VVT OCV should extend. Disconnect a jumper wire. Without battery voltage applied, plunger should retract. If VVT OCV operates as specified, go to next step. If VVT OCV does not operate as specified, replace VVT OCV and go to next step.
  7. Check blockage in VVT OCV. Check oil check valve and oil pipe located under VVT OCV. If problem does not exist, go to next step. If problem exists, repair as necessary.
  8. Install remove components all and connect all disconnected harness connectors. Using scan tool, clear DTCs. Start engine and allow it to idle. Turn ignition off. Turn ignition on and check for DTCs. If DTC P1349 is not present, no problem is indicated at this time. DTC may have been set because of a foreign object that was temporarily caught in the engine oil system but after a short time system returned to normal. If DTC P1349 is present, replace ECM.
  1. Check stoplight operation. If stoplights do not operate properly, repair as necessary and retest system. See EXTERIOR LIGHTS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. If stoplights operate properly, go to next step.
  2. Access ECM behind glove box. see scheme 2 Turn ignition on. Using DVOM, backprobe ECM harness connector and measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 15 (Green/White wire) at ECM harness connector E5. (Scheme 98) Voltage should be 7.5-14.0 volts with brake pedal depressed, and less than 1.5 volts with brake pedal released. If voltage is not as specified, go to next step. If voltage is as specified, problem is intermittent. Check component and ECM connections.
  3. Check for open or short in wiring between ECM and stoplight switch. If problem exists, repair wiring as necessary. If problem does not exist, replace ECM.
  1. Turn ignition off. Access ECM behind glove box. see scheme 2 Using DVOM, backprobe ECM harness connector and measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 1 (Black/White wire) at ECM harness connector E5. (Scheme 98) If voltage is not 9-14 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 9-14 volts, replace ECM.
  2. Remove EFI fuse (20-amp) from engine compartment fuse box. Inspect EFI fuse. If EFI fuse is okay, reinstall fuse. Check wiring harness and electrical connectors between EFI fuse and ECM. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-133228) article. It may be necessary to check wiring between battery and EFI fuse. For additional wiring for EFI fuse to the battery, see POWER DISTRIBUTION article in «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-133228). If EFI fuse is defective, replace fuse and check for short in wiring harness and components connected to EFI fuse. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-133228) article. Repair wiring harness or electrical connectors as necessary.
  1. Turn ignition off. Access ECM and body ECU behind glove box. see scheme 2 Disconnect ECM harness connector E5. (Scheme 98) Disconnect body ECU harness connector B10. (Scheme 110) Disconnect instrument cluster harness connector C12. (Scheme 111) Check continuity in Yellow wire between terminal No. 12 at ECM harness connector E5 and terminal No. 6 at body ECU harness connector B10. Check continuity in Blue/White wire between terminal No. 19 at ECM harness connector E5 and terminal No. 9 at instrument cluster harness connector C12. If continuity exists in both wires, go to next step. If continuity does not exist in either wire, repair wiring as necessary.
  2. Connect all disconnected components. Turn ignition on. Using a DVOM, backprobe ECM harness connector and measure voltage between ground and terminals No. 1 (Black/White wire) and No. 16 (White wire) at ECM harness connector E5. If battery voltage exists at both terminals, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist at either terminal, repair power distribution circuit(s) as necessary. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-133228) article.
  3. Turn ignition off. Using a DVOM, backprobe ECM harness connector and check continuity between ground and terminal No. 17 (Brown wire) at ECM harness connector E8. If continuity exists, replace ECM. If continuity does not exist, repair wiring as necessary. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-133228) article.

  1. Connect hand-held tester to Data Link Connector (DLC) No. 3. see scheme 1 Using hand-held tester, select ACTIVE TEST mode. Select VVT. Note idle speed when Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Oil Control Valve (OCV) is activated by hand-held tester. If idle speed does not function as specified, go to next step. If idle speed is normal with VVT OCV off, and engine idles rough or stalls when VVT OCV is on, VVT is functioning properly at this time. DTC may have been set because of a foreign object that was temporarily caught in engine oil system but after a short time system returned to normal.
  2. Start engine and allow it to idle. Disconnect VVT OCV harness connector and note idle speed. OCV is located in cylinder head, at timing chain side of engine. Engine idle speed should not change. Using jumper wires, apply battery voltage and ground to VVT OCV terminals. Engine should idle rough or stall. If VVT OCV operates as specified, go to next step. If VVT OCV does not operate as specified, replace VVT OCV.
