Check and replace ECM (See page IN-30).
4 Check VVT controller assembly.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the timing belt (See page EM-15).
(b) Remove the cylinder head cover.
(c) Remove the OCV (See page EM-31).
(d) Drain oil into the VVT controller assembly (See page EM-31).
CHECK:
Check whether the oil into VVT controller assembly is drained or not.
OK:
The oil into VVT controller assembly is drained.
NG Replace VVT controller assembly, and then go
to step 5.
OK
5 Check OCV (See page SF-51).
NG Replace OCV, and then go to step 6.
OK
6 Check blockage of OCV, oil check valve and oil pipe No.1.
NG Repair or replace.

CHECK:
Check whether or not DTC P1349/P1354 is stored (See page DI-3).
OK:
DTC P1349/P1354 is not stored.
OK VVT system is OK.*
*: DTCs P1349 and P1354 are also output after the foreign ob-
ject is caught in some part of the system in the engine oil and
the system returns to normal in a short time. As ECM controls
so that foreign objects are ejected, there is no problem about
VVT. There is also no problem since the oil filter should get the
foreign object in the engine oil.
NG
Replace ECM.

DTC P1520 Stop Light Switch Signal Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This signal is used to detect when the brakes have been applied. The STP signal voltage is the same as
the voltage supplied to the stop lights.
The STP signal is used mainly to control the fuel cut-off engine speed (The fuel cut-off engine speed is re-
duced slightly when the vehicle is braking.).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame records
the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining
whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio was lean
or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
1 Check operation of stop light.
CHECK:
Check if the stop lights go on and off normally when the brake pedal is operated and released.
NG Check and repair stop light circuit.

DTC P1780 Park/Neutral Position Switch Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The park/neutral position switch go on when the shift lever is in the N or P shift position. When it goes on,
terminal NSW of the ECM is grounded to body ground via the starter relay, thus the terminal NSW voltage
becomes 0V. When the shift lever is in the D, 2, L or R position, the park/neutral position switch goes off,
so the voltage of ECM. Terminal NSW becomes battery voltage, the voltage of the ECM internal power
source. If the shift lever is moved from the N position to the D position, this signal is used for air-fuel ratio
correction and for idle speed control (estimated control), etc.
