HINT:
If a malfunction exists, the MIL will light up during step (6).
NOTICE:
If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction will not be possible.
If you do not have a TOYOTA hand±held tester, turn the ignition switch OFF after performing steps
(3) to (6), then perform steps (3) to (6) again.
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 warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio lean or rich, etc.
at the time of the malfunction.
1 Are there any other codes (besides DTC P0130, P0150) being output ?
YES Go to relevant DTC chart.
NO
2 Check the output voltage of heated oxygen sensors (bank1, 2 sensor1)
during idling.
PREPARATION:
Warm up the heated oxygen sensors (bank1, 2 sensor1) with the engine at 2,500 rpm for approx. 90 sec.
CHECK:
Use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester to read the output voltage of the heated oxygen sen-
sors (bank1, 2 sensor1) during idling.
OK:
Heated oxygen sensors (bank1, 2 sensor1) output voltage:
Alternates repeatedly between less than 0.4 V and more than 0.55 V (See the following table).
OK Go to step 8.

(1) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Start and warm up the engine with all accessories switched OFF.
(3) Run the vehicle at 70 ~ 90 km/h (43 ~ 56 mph) for 3 min. or more.
(4) Idle the engine for about 2 min.
(5) Do steps (3) and (4) again.
(6) Stop at safe place and turn the ignition switch OFF.
(7) Do step (2) to (5) again.
(8) Check the READINESS TESTS mode on the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester.
If COMPL is displayed and the MIL does not light up, the system is normal.
If INCMPL is displayed and the MIL does not light up, run the vehicle steps (2) to (6) from some times and
check it.
HINT:
INCMPL is displayed when either condition (a) or (b) exists.
(a) The system check is incomplete.
(b) There is a malfunction in the system.
If there is a malfunction in the system, the MIL light up after step (7) above is done.

1 Connect TOYOTA hand±held tester, and read value of EGR gas temperature.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the TOYOTA hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Warm up the engine.
CHECK:
Read EGR gas temperature on TOYOTA hand±held tester during idling.
OK:
EGR gas temperature : 55C (415F) ~ 1505C (3025F) (Not immediately after driving)
HINT:
If there is an open circuit, TOYOTA hand±held tester indicates 3.15C (37.65F).
If there is an short circuit, TOYOTA hand±held tester indicates 159.35C (318.75F).

(a) Connect the TOYOTA hand±held tester to the DLC3, or connect the probe of the oscilloscope between
terminals OXR1, OXL1, OXS and E1 of the ECM connector.
(b) Start engine and warm it up with all accessories switched OFF until water temp. is stable.
(c) Race the engine at 2,500 ~ 3,000 rpm for about 3 min.
(d) After confirming that the waveform of the heated oxygen sensor, bank 1, 2 sensor 1 (OXR1, OXL1),
oscillate around 0.5 V during feedback to the ECM, check the waveform of the heated oxygen sensor,
bank 1 sensor 2 (OXS).
HINT:
If there is a malfunction in the system, the waveform of the
heated oxygen sensor, bank 1 sensor 2 (OXS), is almost the
same as that of the heated oxygen sensor, bank 1, 2 sensor 1
(OXR1, OXL1), on the left.
There are some cases where, even though a malfunction
exists, the MIL may either light up or not light up.

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand±held theater or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame re-
cords the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected, when troubleshooting it is useful for determin-
ing whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio lean or rich,
etc. at the time of the malfunction.

PRE±CHECK
1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) Description

When troubleshooting OBD II vehicles, the only dif-
ference from the usual troubleshooting procedure
is that you connect an OBD II scan tool complying
with SAE J1987 or TOYOTA hand±held tester to the
vehicle, 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 computer itself or
in drive system components which affect vehicle
emissions. In addition to the MIL lighting up when
a malfunction is detected, the applicable DTCs pre-
scribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the ECM
memory (See page DI±16).
If the malfunction only occurs in 3 trips, the MIL goes
off but the DTCs remain recorded in the ECM
memory.

To check the DTCs, connect an OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand±held tester to DLC3 on the vehicle.
The OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester
also enables you to erase the DTCs and check
freeze frame data and various forms of engine data
(For instruction book).
DTCs include SAE controlled codes and Manufac-
turer controlled codes.
SAE controlled codes must be set as the codes pre-
scribed by the SAE, while Manufacturer controlled
codes can be set freely by the manufacturer within
the prescribed limits.

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 page BE±47).
(2) When the engine is started, the MIL should go off.
If the lamp remains on, the diagnosis system has
detected a malfunction or abnormality in the sys-
tem.
(b) Check the DTC.
NOTICE:
(TOYOTA hand±held tester only): When the diagnostic sys-
tem is switched from normal mode to check mode, it erases
all DTCs and freeze frame data recorded in normal mode.
So before switching modes, always check the DTCs and
freeze frame data, and note them down.
(1) Prepare an OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE
J1978) or TOYOTA hand±held tester.
(2) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±
held tester to DLC3 at the lower portion of the instru-
ment panel.
(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 freeze frame data and
note them down (For operating instructions, see the
OBD II scan tool's instruction book).
(5) See page DI±401 to confirm the details of the DTCs.
NOTICE:
When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool (ex-
cluding TOYOTA hand±held tester) to check the DTCs, use
normal mode. For codes on the DTCs chart subject to º2
trip detection logicº, turn the ignition switch off after the
symptoms have been simulated the 1st time. Then repeat
the simulation process again. When the program has
DTCs, the DTCs are recorded in the ECM.
