ENGINE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM AVAILABILITY

Note. 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). Engine immobilizer system may be standard feature or optional feature on specified models. See ENGINE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM AVAILABILITY table. For additional information on system operation and testing, see appropriate ENGINE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEMS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.

Fuel Pump Electronic Control Unit (ECU) & Fuel Pump Switch (Land Cruiser)

Fuel pump operating speed is controlled by engine operating conditions such as: starting, idling, light load or heavy load. Engine Control Module (ECM) delivers an input signal from FPC terminal on ECM to FPC terminal on fuel pump ECU in accordance with engine operating condition. Fuel pump ECU uses this input signal to determine how much voltage should be delivered to fuel pump for varying fuel pump operating speed.

When engine starts, or engine is under heavy load at high speeds, ECM delivers input signal of approximately 3.8 volts to fuel pump ECU. Fuel pump ECU then delivers approximately battery voltage to fuel pump and fuel pump operates at high speed. When engine is under heavy load at low speeds, ECM delivers an input signal of approximately 2.5 volts to fuel pump ECU. Fuel pump ECU then delivers approximately 10 volts to fuel pump and fuel pump operates at medium speed. When engine is idling or under light loads, ECM delivers an input signal of approximately 1.3 volts to fuel pump ECU. Fuel pump ECU then delivers approximately 8.5 volts to fuel pump and fuel pump operates at low speed. If a problem exists in fuel pump ECU or control circuit, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1200 may be stored in ECM. See SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - INTRODUCTION article for retrieving and servicing of DTCs. Fuel pump ECU is located behind inner panel, just behind driver's rear wheelwell. (Scheme 39)

Note. Fuel pump switch may also be referred to as fuel pump inertia switch or fuel pump control switch.

Fuel pump switch is in the circuit between FPC terminal on ECU and FPC terminal on fuel pump ECU. Fuel pump switch may also be referred to as fuel pump inertia switch or fuel pump control switch. If vehicle is involved in a collision, fuel pump switch will shut off the fuel pump by opening this circuit, and not allowing any input signal to be delivered from ECM to fuel pump ECU. Fuel pump switch is located on driver's side of instrument panel. (Scheme 40) Fuel pump switch contains a reset switch which has an OFF and ON position. (Scheme 40) Continuity will exist between electrical terminals on fuel pump switch with reset switch in the ON position, and no continuity in the OFF position. Reset switch must be in ON position for fuel pump operation.

Fuel Pump Relay & Fuel Pump Resistor (Tundra 4.7L V8)

Fuel pump operating speed is controlled by operating condition of the engine such as: starting, idling, light load or heavy load. When engine is cranking and start signal is received at Engine Control Module (ECM), the ECM energizes circuit opening relay and voltage is applied to both sides of fuel pump relay. Fuel pump relay contacts are closed on one side and voltage is applied directly to fuel pump in which fuel pump operates at high speed. After engine starts during idling or light loads, fuel pump relay is energized by FPR terminal of ECM and contacts in fuel pump relay close to other side of relay. Voltage is then supplied to fuel pump by going from fuel pump relay through fuel pump resistor. Fuel pump now operates at low speed. Fuel pump relay is located in fuse/relay box at driver's side front corner of engine compartment, next to battery. Fuel pump resistor is located at driver's side front corner of engine compartment, near end of fuse/relay box. (Scheme 41)

IGNITION SYSTEMS

Note. All models use a distributorless ignition system.

Avalon

  1. Remove ignition coils. See IGNITION SYSTEMS in REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION - V6 & V8 article.
  2. Remove spark plugs. Install spark plug on each ignition coil. Reinstall electrical connectors on ignition coils. Ground spark plugs against cylinder block. CAUTION: To prevent gasoline from being injected, DO NOT crank engine for longer than 5 seconds when checking for spark.
  3. Crank engine and check for spark. If spark does not exist, check ignition coil electrical connections. If electrical connections are okay, go to next step. If electrical connections are defective, repair as necessary and recheck for spark.
  4. Install different ignition coil on spark plug and recheck for spark. If spark still does not exist, go to next step. If spark now exists with different ignition coil, replace original ignition coil.
  5. Turn ignition on. Using voltmeter, check for battery voltage at ignition coil positive terminal. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, check wiring between ignition switch and ignition coil. NOTE: It may be necessary to check operation of IG2 relay by using wiring diagram. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article. IG2 fuse supplies constant battery voltage to one side of IG2 relay. When ignition is turned on, voltage is supplied from ignition switch to other side of IG2 relay and IG2 relay is then energized. When IG2 relay is energized, IG2 relay provides battery voltage to ignition coils and fuel injectors. IG2 relay is located in fuse/relay box at driver's side front corner of engine compartment, near battery and air cleaner.
  6. Check resistance of camshaft position sensor. See «CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE»(ref-2890-S20093075992000041400000) .

See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - INTRODUCTION article for retrieving of DTCs.
  9. If ignition IGT signal is okay, substitute another ignition coil and recheck system operation. If ignition IGT signal is defective, check wiring between ECM and ignition coil. See «ECM LOCATION»(ref-2890-S12295261332000041400000) table. If wiring is defective, repair wiring as necessary and recheck system operation.
