MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT INSPECTION
Note. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may also be referred to as CHECK ENGINE light. Inspect MIL to ensure it is operational and will come on if a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
- Turn ignition on. Check that MIL comes on and remains on. MIL is displayed as an engine icon located just below the fuel gauge on instrument cluster on instrument panel. If MIL comes on and remains on, go to next step. If MIL does not come on, check bulb circuit on instrument cluster and Violet/Green wire and electrical connectors between MIL and Engine Control Module (ECM). See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. ECM is located behind glove box and heater duct. see scheme 2
- Start engine and ensure MIL goes off. If MIL goes off, no malfunction is detected at this time. If MIL remains on or blinks with engine running, a malfunction is detected. Proceed to «TESTING PROCEDURE»(ref-99562-S25387662062001072300000).
TESTING PROCEDURE
To ensure correct diagnosis and repair, testing should be done in the following sequence
- Record Customer Complaint Ensure all customer complaints or observations are recorded. Test drive vehicle with customer when necessary for malfunction verification.
- Retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes Using Toyota hand-held tester or scan tool, retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) from Engine Control Module (ECM) and record any freeze frame data (if applicable). See «RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES»(ref-99562-S10097497672001072300000) .
- Clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes Using Toyota hand-held tester or scan tool, clear DTCs and freeze frame data from ECM. See «CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES»(ref-99562-S39560845752001072300000) .
- Visual Inspection Inspect all electrical connectors and wiring for suspected circuit or component. Ensure all connections are clean and tight.
- Confirm Symptoms & Diagnostic Trouble Codes Perform road test. Determine if original symptoms still exist. Using scan tool or Toyota hand-held tester, retrieve DTCs from ECM. See «RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES»(ref-99562-S10097497672001072300000) .
- Diagnose & Repair Diagnostic Trouble Codes Perform appropriate DTC test listed under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS as necessary. For DTC descriptions, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(ref-99562-S12181529502001072300000) table under DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS. If no DTCs are present and a no start condition exists, proceed to appropriate BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES article. If no DTCs are present and a driveability condition exists, proceed to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, ENGINE STALLS, etc.).
- Verification Procedure After repairs have been completed, clear all DTCs from ECM. See «CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES»(ref-99562-S39560845752001072300000) . 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.

Throttle Position (TP) sensor uses 2 sensors which detects throttle opening and a malfunction of the TP sensor. TP sensor is located on throttle body and provides an input voltage of 0-5 volts to VTA and VTA2 terminals at Engine Control Module (ECM) in proportion to throttle opening. ECM uses input signals and controls the throttle control motor to provide proper throttle valve opening in response to driving conditions. DTC is set when improper input signals from TP sensor are received at ECM. If DTC P0121 exists, ECM will turn off the power to throttle control motor and throttle valve is closed by the return spring. When this occurs, throttle valve is controlled by throttle cable connected to accelerator pedal. Possible cause is defective TP sensor.
Using Toyota hand-held tester or scan tool, read FREEZE FRAME data. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when malfunction is detected.

Engine Control Module (ECM) uses input signals provided by crankshaft and camshaft position sensors to monitor the changes in crankshaft rotation. If engine speed rate changes enough to equal a preset number, a misfire is detected and Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is illuminated. If misfire rate is great enough and driving conditions will cause catalytic converter damage or overheating, the MIL will blink when misfire is occurring. DTC is set when misfiring of random cylinders is detected during any particular 200 or 1000 revolutions. Possible causes are
- Open or short in engine wiring harness.
- Defective connections at ECM or component.
- Disconnected, restricted or damaged vacuum hose(s).
- Ignition system malfunction.
- Defective fuel injector(s).
- Improper fuel pressure.
- Defective Mass Airflow (MAF) meter.
- Defective Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor.
- Improper engine compression.
- Improper valve clearance.

When 2 or more DTCs for misfiring cylinder are recorded repeatedly and DTC P0300 does not exist, it indicates misfires were detected and recorded at different times. If misfire cannot be reproduced, the reason may be because vehicle was driven with a lack of fuel, improper fuel, fouled spark plug or etc. Using Toyota hand-held tester or scan tool, read FREEZE FRAME data. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when malfunction is detected. If COOLANT TEMP displayed in freeze frame data is less than 176°F (80°C), there is a possibility that misfire only exists during warm-up.
