1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) Description

When troubleshooting OBD II vehicles, the only dif-
ference from the usual troubleshooting procedure
is that you connect to the vehicle the OBD II scan
tool complying with SAE J1978 or TOYOTA hand±
held tester, and read off various data output from
the vehicle's ECM.

OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on±
board computer lights up the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel when the com-
puter detects a malfunction in the emission control
system/components or in the power train control
components which affect vehicle emissions, or a
malfunction in the computer. In addition to the MIL
lighting up when a malfunction is detected, the ap-
plicable Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) prescribed
by SAE J2012 are recorded in the ECM memory.
(See page DI±14)
If the malfunction does not reoccur in 3 consecutive trips, the
MIL goes off automarially but the DTCs remain recorded in the
ECM memory.

To check the DTCs, connect the OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand±held tester to the Data Link Con-
nector 3 (DLC3) on the vehicle. The OBD II scan
tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester also enables you
to erase the DTCs and check freezed frame data
and various forms of engine data (For operating
instructions, see the OBD II scan tool's instruction
book.)
DTCs include SAE controlled codes and manufac-
turer controlled codes. SAE controlled codes must
be set as prescribed by the SAE, while manufactur-
er controlled codes can be set freely by the
manufacturer within the prescribed limits. (See DTC
chart on page DI±14)

DI±4
± DIAGNOSTICSENGINE

The diagnosis system operates in normal mode
during normal vehicle use. It also has a check mode
for technicians to simulate malfunction symptoms
and troubleshoot. Most DTCs use 2 trip detection
logic* to prevent erroneous detection, and ensure
thorough malfunction detection. By switching the
ECM to check mode when troubleshooting, the
technician can cause the MIL to light up for a mal-
function that is only detected once or momentarily.
(TOYOTA hand±held tester only)
(See page DI±3)

*2 trip detection logic: When a malfunction is first
detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in
the ECM memory. (1st trip)
If the same malfunction is detected again during the second
drive test, this second detection causes the MIL to light up. (2nd
trip) (However, the ignition switch must be turned OFF between
the 1st trip and 2nd trip.)

Freeze frame data:
Freeze frame data records the engine condition
when a misfire (DTCs P0300 ± P0304) or fuel trim
malfunction (DTCs P0171 and P0172) or other mal-
function (first malfunction only), is detected. Be-
cause freeze frame data records the engine condi-
tions (fuel system, calculated load, engine coolant
temperature, fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle
speed, etc.) when the malfunction is detected.
When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining
whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the en-
gine was warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio was
lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.

Priorities for troubleshooting.
If troubleshooting priorities for multiple DTCs are given in the
applicable DTC chart, these should be followed.
If no instructions are given, troubleshoot DTCs according to the
following priorities.
(1) DTCs other than fuel trim malfunction (DTCs P0171
and P0172), EGR (DTCs P0401 and P0402), and
misfire (DTCs P0300 ± P0304).
(2) Fuel trim malfunction (DTCs P0171 and P0172),
and EGR (DTCs P0401 and P0402).
(3) Misfire (DTCs P0300 ± P0304).

(b) Check the DLC3.
The vehicle's ECM uses ISO 9141±2 for communication.
The terminal arrangement of DLC3 complies with SAE
J1962 and matches the ISO 9141±2 format.
Terminal No.Connection/Voltage or ResistanceCondition
7Bus  Line/Pulse generationDuring transmission
4Chassis Ground e Body Ground/1 W or lessAlways
5Signal Ground e Body Ground/1 W or lessAlways
16Battery Positive e Body Ground/9 ± 14 VAlways
HINT:
If your display shows UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE
when you have connected the cable of the OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand±held tester to DLC3, turned the ignition switch
ON and operated the scan tool, there is a problem on the ve-
hicle side or tool side.

If communication is normal when the tool is connected to
another vehicle, inspect DLC3 on the original vehicle.

If communication is still not possible when the tool is con-
nected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the
tool itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the
tool's instruction manual.
2. INSPECT DIAGNOSIS (Normal Mode)
(a) Check the MIL.
(1) The MIL comes on when the ignition switch is turned
ON and the engine is not running.
HINT:
If the MIL does not light up, troubleshoot the combination meter
(See Pub. No. RM654U, page BE±2).
(2) When the engine started, the MIL should go off. If
the lamp remains on, the diagnosis system has de-
tected a malfunction or abnormality in the system.
(b) Check the DTC.
NOTICE:
TOYOTA hand±held tester only: When the diagnosis sys-
tem is switched from normal mode to check mode, it
erases all DTCs and freezed frame data recorded in normal
mode. So before switching modes, always check the DTCs
and freezed frame data, and note them down.
(1) Prepare the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE
J1978) or TOYOTA hand±held tester.

DI±6
± DIAGNOSTICSENGINE
(2) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±
held tester to DLC3 under the instrument panel low-
er pad.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the OBD II scan
tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester switch ON.
(4) Use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held
tester to check the DTCs and freezed frame data
and note them down. (For operating instructions,
see the OBD II scan tool's instruction book.)
(5) See page DI±3 to confirm the details of the DTCs.
NOTICE:

When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool
(excluding TOYOTA hand±held tester) to check the
DTCs, use normal mode. For code on the DTC chart
subject to º2 trip detection logicº, perform the follow-
ing either action.

Turn the ignition switch OFF after the symptom is
simulated the first time. Then repeat the simulation
process again. When the problem has been simulated
twice, the MIL lights up and the DTCs are recorded in
the ECM.

Check the 1st trip DTC using Mode 7 (Continuous Test
Results) for SAE J1979.
(c) Clear the DTC.
The DTCs and freezed frame data will be erased by either
action.
(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 ignition
switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF during check
mode, the DTCs and freezed frame data will be erased.
3. INSPECT DIAGNOSIS (Check Mode)
HINT:
TOYOTA hand±held tester only:
Compared to the normal mode, the check mode has an in-
creased sensitivity to detect malfunctions.
Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which are detected in
the normal mode can also be detected in the check mode.
(a) Check the DTC.
(1) Initial conditions

Battery positive voltage 11 V or more

Throttle valve fully closed

Transmission in P or N position

Air conditioning switched OFF
(2) Turn ignition switch OFF.

(3) Prepare the TOYOTA hand±held tester.
(4) Connect the TOYOTA hand±held tester to the
DLC3 under the instrument panel lower pad.
(5) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the TOYOTA
hand±held tester ON.
(6) Switch the TOYOTA hand±held tester from the nor-
mal mode to the check mode. (Check that the MIL
flashes.)
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 LOCK during check
mode, the DTCs and freezed frame data will be erased.
(7) Start the engine. (The MIL goes out after the engine
start.)
(8) Simulate the conditions of the malfunction de-
scribed by the customer.
NOTICE:
Leave the ignition switch ON until you have checked the
DTC, etc.
(9) After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the
TOYOTA hand±held tester diagnosis selector to
check the DTCs and freezed frame data, etc.
HINT:
Take care not to turn the ignition switch OFF. Turning the ignition
switch OFF switches the diagnosis system from check mode to
normal mode. So all DTCs, etc. are erased.
(10) After checking the DTC, inspect the applicable cir-
cuit.

5. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
TOYOTA hand±held tester only:
By putting the vehicle's ECM in the 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.
(1) Clear the DTC (See step 2).
(2) Set the check mode (See step 3).
(3) Perform a simulation test (See page IN±19).
(4) Check the connector and terminal (See page IN±29).
(5) Handle the connector (See page IN±29).
6. BASIC INSPECTION
When the malfunction code is not confirmed in the DTC check, troubleshooting should be performed in 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 11 V or more when engine is stopped?
NO Charge or replace battery.
YES
2 Is engine cranked?
NO Proceed to Pub. No. RM654U, page ST±2 and
continue to troubleshoot.
YES
3 Does engine start?
NO Go to step 7.
