(b) Clear the DTC.
The following actions will erase the DTC and freezed
frame data.
(1) Operating the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE
J1978) or TOYOTA hand-held tester to erase the
codes. (See the OBD II scan tool's instruction book
for operating instructions.)
(2) Disconnecting the battery terminals or EFI fuse.
NOTICE:
If the TOYOTA hand-held tester switches the ECM from
normal mode to check mode or vice-versa, or if the igni-
tion switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF during check
mode, the DTC and freezed frame data will be erased.
4. FAIL-SAFE CHART
If any of the following codes is recorded, the ECM enters fail-safe mode.
DTC No.Fail-Safe OperationFail-Safe Deactivation Conditions
P0105Ignition timing fixed at 5° BTDCReturned to normal condition
P0110Intake air temp. is fixed at 20°C (68°F)Returned to normal condition
P0115Engine coolant temp. is fixed at 80°C (176°F)Returned to normal condition
P0120VTA is fixed at 0°
The following condition must be repeated at least 2 times
consecutively
When closed throttle position switch is ON:
0.1 V  VTA  0.95 V
P0141The heater circuit in which an abnormality is detected is
turned offIgnition switch OFF
P0325Max. timing retardationIgnition switch OFF
P1300Fuel cutIGF signal is detected for 4 consecutive ignitions
5. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
HINT:
TOYOTA hand-held tester only:
By putting the vehicle's ECM in check mode, 1 trip detection logic is possible instead of 2 trip detection logic
and sensitivity to detect open circuits is increased. This makes it easier to detect intermittent problems.
(a) Clear the DTC (See page DI-13).
(b) Set the check mode (See page DI-13).
(c) Perform a simulation test (See page IN-26).
(d) Check the connector and terminal (See page IN-26).
(e) Handle the connector (See page IN-26).
6. BASIC INSPECTION
When the malfunction code is not confirmed in the DTC check, troubleshooting should be performed in the
order for all possible circuits to be considered as the causes of the problems. In many cases, by carrying
out the basic engine check shown in the following flow chart, the location causing the problem can be found
quickly and efficiently. Therefore, use of this check is essential in engine troubleshooting.
1 Is battery positive voltage 11V or more when engine is stopped ?
NO Charge or replace battery.

2 Is engine cranked ?
NO Proceed to ST-13, ST-28, ST-31 and continue
to troubleshoot.
YES
3 Does engine start ?
NO Go to step 7.

4 Check air filter.
PREPARATION:
Remove the air filter.
CHECK:
Visual check that the air cleaner element is not excessively dirty
or oily.
HINT:
If necessary, clean the filter with compressed air. First blow from
inside thoroughly, then blow from outside of filter.
NG Repair or replace.
OK
5 Check engine idle speed.
PREPARATION:
(a) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
(b) Switch off all accessories.
(c) Switch off air conditioning.
(d) Shift transmission into ºNº position.

(e) Remove the fuse cover on the instrument panel.
(f) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to DLC3 on the vehicle.
CHECK:
Use CURRENT DATA to check the engine idle speed.
OK:
Idle speed: 700 - 800 rpm
NG Proceed to matrix chart of problem symptoms
on page DI-19.
OK
6 Check ignition timing.
PREPARATION:
(a) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
(b) Shift transmission into ºNº position.
(c) Keep the engine speed at idle.
(d) Using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1 of DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
(e) Using a timing light, connect the tester to No.1 high-ten-
sion cord.
CHECK:
Check ignition timing.
OK:
Ignition timing: 10° BTDC at idle
NG Proceed to page IG-1 and continue to trouble-
shoot.

7 Check fuel pressure.
PREPARATION:
(a) Be sure that enough fuel is in the tank.
(b) Turn ignition switch ON.
(c) Remove the fuse cover on the instrument panel.
(d) Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester to DLC3 on the
vehicle.
(e) Use ACTIVE TEST mode to operate the fuel pump.
(f) If you have no TOYOTA hand-held tester, connect the
positive (+) and negative (-) leads from the battery to the
fuel pump connector (See page MF-1).
CHECK:
Check for fuel pressure in the inlet hose when it is pinched off.
HINT:
At this time, you will hear a fuel flowing noise.
NG Proceed to page MF-1 and continue to trouble-
shoot.
OK
8 Check for spark.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect the high-tension cord from spark plug or re-
move the ignition coil.
(b) Remove spark plug.
(c) Install the spark plug to high-tension cord or ignition coil.
(d) Disconnect injector connector.
(e) Ground the spark plug.
CHECK:
Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
NOTICE:
To prevent excess fuel being injected from the injectors
during this test, do not crank the engine for more than 5 -
10 seconds at a time.
NG Proceed to page IG-1 and continue to trouble-
shoot.
