INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTCs P0110, P0115, P0120 and P1410 are output simultaneously, E2 (sensor ground) may be open.
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 Connect OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester, and read value of intake
air temperature.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester main switch
ON.
CHECK:
Read the temperature value on the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester.
OK:
Same as actual intake air temperature.
HINT:
If there is open circuit, OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester indicates -40°C (-40°F).
If there is short circuit, OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester indicates 140°C (284°F) or more.
NG -40°C (-40°F) ... Go to step 2.
140°C (284°F) or more ... Go to step 4.
OK
Check for intermittent problems
(See page DI-3).

DTC P0115 Engine Coolant Temp. Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A thermistor built into the engine coolant temperature sensor changes the resistance value according to the
engine coolant temperature.
The structure of the sensor and connection to the ECM is the same as in the intake air temperature circuit
malfunction shown on page DI-28.
If the ECM detects the DTC P0115, it operates the fail-safe function in which the engine coolant temperature
is assumed to be 80°C (176°C).

DTC P0120 Throttle/Pedal position Sensor/Switch ºAº
Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The throttle position sensor is mounted in the throttle body and
detects the throttle valve opening angle. When the throttle valve
is fully closed, a voltage of approximately 0.7 V is applied to ter-
minal VTA of the ECM. The voltage applied to terminals VTA of
the ECM increases in proportion to the opening angle of the
throttle valve and becomes approximately 2.7 - 5.2 V when the
throttle valve is fully opened. The ECM judges the vehicle driv-
ing conditions from these signals input from terminals VTA and
uses them as one of the conditions for deciding the air-fuel ratio
correction, power increase correction and fuel-cut control etc.

DTC P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temp. for Closed Loop
Fuel Control
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three-way cata-
lytic converter is used, but for the most efficient use of the three-way catalytic converter, the air-fuel ratio
must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.
The A/F sensor has the characteristic that provides output voltage* approximately proportional to the exist-
ing air-fuel ratio. The A/F sensor output voltage* is used to provide feedback for the ECM to control the air-
fuel ratio.
By the A/F sensor output, the ECM can determine the deviation amount from the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio
and control the proper injection time immediately. If the A/F sensor is malfunctioning, ECM is unable to per-
form accurate air-fuel ratio control.
The A/F sensor is equipped with a heater which heats the zirconia element. The heater is controlled by the
ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the temp. of the exhaust gas is low), current flows to the heater
to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.
*: The voltage value changes at the inside of the ECM only.

After engine is warmed up, A/F sensor output* does not
change when conditions (a), (b), (c) and (d) continue for at
least 1.5 min:
*: Output value changes at inside of the ECM only
(a) Engine speed: 1,500 rpm or more
(b) Vehicle speed: 40 - 100 km/h (25 - 62 mph)

HINT:
After confirming DTC P0125, use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to confirm voltage
output of the A/F sensor (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) from the CURRENT DATA.
The ECM controls the voltage of the AFR+, AFL+, AFR- and AFL- terminals of the ECM to the fixed
voltage. Therefore, it is impossible to confirm the A/F sensor output voltage without the OBDII scan
tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester.
