ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the ra-
diator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Ther-
mal expansion will cause hot engine coolant and steam to
blow out from the radiator.
(a) Remove the radiator support opening cover.
(b) Remove the engine room cover side.
(c) Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator cap tes-
ter.
(d) Warm up the engine.
(e) Pump it to 137 kPa (1.4 kgf/cm
2, 19.9 psi), and check that
the pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator and water
pump for leaks. If there are no signs or traces of external coolant
leaks, check the heater core, cylinder block and head.
(f) Reinstall the engine room cover side.
(g) Reinstall the radiator support opening cover.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR
(a) The engine coolant should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº lines, when the engine is cold.
If low, check for leaks and add ºToyota Long Life Coolantº or equivalent up to the ºFULLº line.
3. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator
are still hot. Thermal expansion will cause hot engine coolant and steam to blow out from the radiator.
(b) Check if there is any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap and radiator filler hole;
the coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the coolant.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.

(E2G).
(2) Using a voltmeter, connect the positive (+) tester
probe to terminal 3 (VG), and negative (±) tester
probe to terminal 2 (E2G).
(3) Blow air into the MAF meter, and check that the volt-
age fluctuates.

3.INSPECT THROTTLE BODY
(a)Inspect the throttle control motor for operating sound.(1)Turn the ignition switch ON.
(2)When turning the accelerator pedal position sensor lever, check the running sound of the motor.Also, check that there is no friction sound.
If operation is not as specified, check the throttle control motor (See page 10±39), wiring and ECM.
(b) Inspect the throttle position sensor.
(1) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) When turning the accelerator pedal position sensor lever to the full±\
open position, check thatthe throttle valve opening percentage (THROTTLE POS) of the CURRENT DATA shown the
standard value.
Standard throttle valve opening percentage:
60 % or more
If operation is not as specified, check that the accelerator pedal positio\
n sensor (See page 10±39), wiring
and ECM.
If you have no hand±held tester, measure voltage between terminals (VTA1 ± E2, VTA2 ± E2) of the ECM
connector (See page 05±318).
(c) Inspect the air assist system.
(1) Start the engine and check that the CHK ENG does not light up.
(2) Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
(3) Turn the A/C compressor ON to OFF, and check the idle speed.
Idle speed (Transmission in neutral): 700
50 rpm
NOTICE:
Perform inspection under condition without electrical load.
(d) After checking the above (b) to (d), perform the driving test and check that there is no sense of incon-
gruity.
4. INSPECT ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR
(a) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) Check that the voltage (ACCEL POS) of the CURRENT DATA shown the standard value.
Accelerator pedal released: 0.5 to 1.1 V
Accelerator pedal depress: 2.6 to 4.5 V
(d) Check that the voltage (ACCEL POS #2) of the CURRENT DATA shown the standard value. Accelerator pedal released: 1.2 to 2.0 V
Accelerator pedal depress: 3.4 to 5.3 V
If you have no hand±held tester, measure voltage between terminals (VPA ± EPA, VPA2 ± EPA2) of the ECM
connector (See page 05±318).
