TOYOTA CAMRY V20 1986 Service Information

Diagnosis System (A140E)
DESCRIPTION
1. A self±diagnosis function is built into the electrical control system.
Warning is indicated by the overdrive OFF indicator.
HINT: Warning and diagnostic codes can be read only when
the overdrive switch is ON. If OFF, the overdrive OFF
indicator is lit continuously and will not blink.
(a) If a malfunction occurs within the speed sensors (No.
1 or 2) or solenoids (No. 1 or 2), the overdrive OFF
light will blink to. warn the driver. .
However, there will be no warning of a malfunction with
lock±up solenoid.
(b) The diagnostic code can be read by the number of blinks of
the overdrive OFF indicator when terminals
Tt and E1 are short±circuited. (See page AT±17)
tc) The throttle position sensor or brake signal are not indi-
cated, but inspection can be made by checking the voltage at
terminal Tt of the check connector (diagnosis).
(d) The signals to each gear can be checked by measuring the
voltage at terminal Tt of the check connector while driving.
2. The diagnostic (malfunction) code is retained in memory by the
CPU and due to back±up voltage, is not canceled out when the
engine is turned off. Consequently, after repair, it is necessary
to turn the ignition switch off and remove the fuse EFI (15A) or
disconnect the ECT computer connector to cancel out the diag-
nostic (malfunction)
code. (See page AT±18)
HINT:
wLow battery voltage will cause faulty operation of the diag-
nosis system. Therefore, always check the battery first.
w Use a voltmeter and ohmmeter that have an impedance
of at least 10 k 11 IV.
CHECK O/D OFF INDICATOR LIGHT
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. The O/D OFF light will come on when the O/D switch is
placed at OFF.
3. When the O/D switch is set to ON, the O/D OFF light
should go out.
If the O/D OFF light flashes when the O/D switch is set
to ON, the electronic control system is faulty.

wIn the event of a malfunction, the fight will blink once every
0.5 seconds. The number of blinks will equal the first num-
ber and, after 1.5 seconds pause, the second number of the
two digit diagnostic code. If there are two or more codes,
there will be a 2.5 seconds pause between each.
HINT: In the event of several trouble codes occurring
simultaneously, indication will begin from the smaller
value and continue to the larger.
4. REMOVE SST

READ DIAGNOSTIC CODE
1. TURN IGNITION SWITCH AND O/D SWITCH TO ON
Do not start the engine.
HINT: Warning and diagnostic codes can be read only
when the overdrive switch is ON. If OFF, the overdrive OFF
light will light continuously and will not blink.
2. SHORT ECT TERMINAL CIRCUIT OF CHECK
CONNECTOR
Using a SST, short terminals Tt and E1 of the check
connector.
SST 09843±18020
(Diagnostic Code Indication)
wIf the system is operating normally, the light will
blink once every 0.25 seconds. 3. READ DIAGNOSTIC CODE
Read the diagnostic code as indicated by the number
of times the O/D OFF indicator flashes.

CANCEL OUT DIAGNOSTIC CODE
1. After repair of the trouble area, the diagnostic code
retained in memory by the ECT ECU must be canceled by
removing the fuse EFI (15A) for 10 seconds or more, de-
pending on ambient temperature (the lower the tempera-
ture, the longer the fuse must be left out) with the ignition
switch OFF.
HINT:
wCancellation can be also done by removing the battery
negative (±) terminal, but in this case other memory sys-
tems (TCCS diagnosis memory, etc.) will be also can-
celed out.
wThe diagnostic code can be also canceled out by discon-
necting the ECT ECU connector.
wIf the diagnostic code is not canceled out, it will be
retained by the ECT ECU and appear along with a new
code in event of future trouble.
2. After cancellation, perform a road test to confirm that a
ºnormal codeº is now read on the O/D OFF indicator. HINT: If codes 62, 63 or 64 appear, there is an
electrical malfunction in the solenoid.
Causes due to ±mechanical failure, such as a
stuck valve, will not appear.

TROUBLESHOOTING FLOW±CHART
HINT:
wIf diagnostic code Nos. 42, 61, 62 or 63 are output, the overdrive OFF indicator light will begin to
blink immediately to warn the driver. However, an impact or shock may cause the blinking to stop;
but the code will still be retained in the ECT ECU memory until canceled out.
wThere is no warning for diagnostic code No. 64.
wIn the event of a simultaneous malfunction of both No. 1 and No. 2 speed sensors, no diagnostic
code will appear and the fail±safe system will not function. However, when driving in the D range,
the transaxle will not up±shift from first gear, regardless of the vehicle speed.
