RETRIEVING TROUBLE CODES

Note. Trouble codes may be retrieved using Toyota scan tester in Normal Mode or Test Mode.

Note. Normal Mode is used to retrieve trouble code from Electronic Control Module (ECM) to determine problem area. Test Mode is used to check for trouble codes when operating vehicle to simulate conditions in which trouble code was set. Test mode contains a higher sensing ability to detect malfunctions. Test Mode helps determine malfunctions caused by poor electrical connections, which are difficult to determine using Normal Mode. Test Mode also checks for malfunction in starter signal circuit, A/C switch signal and Park/Neutral switch signal.

Note. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on the instrument panel may also be referred to as CHECK ENGINE light.

Test Mode

  1. Before retrieving trouble code(s), verify MIL on instrument panel comes on with ignition on and engine off. The MIL should go off when engine is started.
  2. Check bulb circuit on instrument panel and wiring circuit between MIL and ECM. See appropriate wiring diagram information in the «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-21402) article. See «ECM LOCATION»(ref-21404-S25332328302001010300000).
  3. Ensure battery voltage is greater than 11 volts and charging system is okay. Apply parking brake. Shift the transmission/transaxle to Neutral (M/T) or Park (A/T). Turn A/C and all accessories off. Ensure throttle is in idle position and ignition is off. NOTE: Test Mode will not operate if jumper wire is installed between terminals TE2 and E1 in Data Link Connector (DLC) after ignition is turned on.
  4. Install Jumper Wire (SST 09843-18020) between terminals TE2 and E1 in Data Link Connector (DLC) with ignition off. (Scheme 126) NOTE: DLC No. 2 is used. (Scheme 126)
  5. Turn ignition on with engine off. Test Mode is operational if MIL on instrument panel flashes.
  6. If MIL fails to flash, check TE2 wiring circuit. See appropriate TE1 & TE2 DIAGNOSTIC CIRCUIT CHECK chart under «TROUBLE CODE CHARTS»(ref-21404-S29532316702001010300000). See «ECM LOCATION»(ref-21404-S25332328302001010300000).
  7. Drive vehicle at a speed greater than 6 MPH. ECM will set Trouble Codes 42 and 43 if vehicle is not driven. Try to simulate conditions of driveability complaint described by customer, and note when MIL comes on. This indicates when problem exists.
  8. Stop vehicle, but DO NOT turn engine off. Install jumper wire between terminals TE1 and E1 in DLC. (Scheme 126) Count number of flashes from MIL on instrument panel. If system is operating properly (with no trouble codes), MIL will flash continuously and evenly. (Scheme 127)
  9. If trouble code exists, digits of trouble code will be flashed at approximately 1/2-second intervals. A 1 1/2-second pause separates first and second digits of code. (Scheme 127)
  10. If more than one trouble code is stored, a 2 1/2-second pause will occur before next trouble code is flashed. Once all trouble codes are displayed, a 4 1/2-second pause will occur, then trouble code(s) will be repeated. Trouble codes are displayed in order of smallest to largest. NOTE: Trouble Code 51 will normally be displayed if automatic transmission/transaxle is in any gear except Park or Neutral, A/C is turned on, or accelerator pedal is depressed.
  11. After trouble code(s) is retrieved, remove jumper wires to exit Test Mode. See «NOTES ON TROUBLE CODES»(ref-21404-S14355977512001010300000). For additional information on trouble codes, see «TROUBLE CODE DIAGNOSTIC HINTS»(ref-21404-S41403015982001010300000) table under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM and appropriate «TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION»(ref-21404-S05561050302001010300000) table under TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION.

Note. The MIL may not come on if certain trouble code is set when in Test Mode. See appropriate TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION table under TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION.

Note. To repair failure causing trouble code, refer to proper trouble code chart under TROUBLE CODE CHARTS . Once repairs for trouble code are made, trouble code must be cleared from ECM memory. See CLEARING TROUBLE CODES .

NOTES ON TROUBLE CODES

  1. When certain trouble codes occur, MIL on instrument panel will not come on. For designation of MIL operation on certain trouble codes, see appropriate «TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION»(ref-21404-S05561050302001010300000) table under TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION.
  2. When certain malfunctions or trouble codes initially occur, they will be temporarily stored in ECM memory, but MIL on instrument panel will not come on.
  3. The second time malfunction or trouble code is detected, MIL on instrument panel will then come on, provided ignition is turned off and then back on after malfunction or trouble code was first detected. This is referred to as the Two Trip Detection Logic and only applies to specified trouble codes. See «TWO TRIP DETECTION LOGIC TROUBLE CODES»(ref-21404-S01059323462001010300000) table. NOTE: When road testing vehicle in Test Mode, the Two Trip Detection Logic will not function. In Test Mode, the MIL on instrument panel will come on the first time malfunction or trouble code is detected. TWO TRIP DETECTION LOGIC TROUBLE CODES (2) Application (1) Trouble Code Turbo 21, 25, 26, 27, 71 & 78 (1) Trouble codes may not apply to all models, as some trouble codes are used only on Calif. models. (2) Two Trip Detection Logic is used on Trouble Code 21 on all except Calif. models.
  4. In Normal Mode, MIL on instrument panel will go off after malfunction is repaired, but trouble codes, except ECM non-memory trouble codes, will be retained in ECM memory until cleared. ECM non-memory trouble codes are not stored in ECM memory. See «ECM NON-MEMORY TROUBLE CODES»(ref-21404-S40134522482001010300000) table.
  5. In Test Mode, all trouble codes except ECM non-memory trouble codes are retained in ECM memory, even with ignition off and repairs made, until cleared. ECM non-memory trouble codes are not retained in ECM memory. See «ECM NON-MEMORY TROUBLE CODES»(ref-21404-S40134522482001010300000) table.

Note. When in Test Mode, if vehicle is not driven at a speed greater than 6 MPH, ECM will set Trouble Codes 42 and 43. For MIL operation in relation to trouble code when in Test Mode, see appropriate TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION table under TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION.

ECM NON-MEMORY TROUBLE CODES

CLEARING TROUBLE CODES

  1. After performing repairs, clear ECM memory of all stored trouble codes. To clear memory, turn ignition off. Remove proper fuse from fuse/relay box for approximately 30 seconds or more. See «FUSE APPLICATION»(ref-21404-S12823381612001010300000) table and «FUSE/RELAY BOX LOCATION»(ref-21404-S02674840952001010300000) table.
  2. Depending on ambient temperature, fuse may need to be removed for more than 30 seconds, especially in colder temperatures. Install fuse. Road test vehicle. Ensure system operates properly (with no trouble codes) and MIL flashes continuously and evenly. (Scheme 127) NOTE: Trouble codes may also be cleared by disconnecting negative battery cable. However, other memory functions (clock, radio, alarm, seats, etc.) will be canceled and must be reset.
  3. With certain trouble codes, once trouble code has been cleared from ECM memory, a trouble code detection driving pattern test can be performed to verify repairs and that trouble has not reset. For information on trouble code detection driving pattern test, see «TROUBLE CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN TESTS»(ref-21404-S30339146602001010300000).

TROUBLE CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN TESTS

Note. Trouble code driving pattern test may be referred to as driving pattern test.

  1. With certain trouble codes, once trouble code has been cleared from ECM memory, a trouble code detection driving pattern test can be performed to verify repairs and that trouble has not reset. Trouble code driving pattern test will duplicate conditions required to set specified trouble codes.
  2. Trouble code detection driving pattern test lists procedure to be performed to ensure trouble code has not reset. (Scheme 128)
  3. Trouble code detection driving pattern tests apply only to specified trouble codes. See «TROUBLE CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN TEST APPLICATION»(ref-21404-S42768359512001010300000) table. Trouble code detection driving pattern test will be included with proper trouble code chart under «TROUBLE CODE CHARTS»(ref-21404-S29532316702001010300000).
