check engine light TOYOTA CAMRY V20 1986 Service Information

INITIAL CHECK
CHECK ACTUATOR OPERATION NOISE
(a) Start the engine and drive at a speed over 6 km/h
(4 mph).
(b) Check that the actuator operation noise is heard.
HINT: A initial check is carried out once each time after the
engine has been started and initial speed exceeds 6
km/h (4 mph). The respective functions, in order, of the 3
position solenoid and pump motor in the actuator are
checked. However, if the brake pedal is depressed, the ini-
tial check is not carried out, but is started after the pedal
has been released.
INSPECTION OF DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE
Inspect that the battery voltage is about 12 V.
2. CHECK THAT WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON
(a) Turn the ignition switch on.
(b) Check that the ºANTILOCKº warning light turns on for
3 seconds.
If not, inspect and repair or replace the fuse, bulb and wire
harness.
Diagnosis System
DESCRIPTION
If a malfunction occurs, the system will identify the prob-
lem and the computer will store the codes for the trouble
items.
At the same time, the system informs the driver of a mal-
function via the ºANTILOCKº warning light in the combina-
tion meter.
By turning on the ignition switch and disconnecting the
check connector, the trouble can be identified by the
number of blinks (diagnostic code) of the warning light.
In the event of two codes, that having the smallest num-
ber (code) will be identified first.
HINT: The warning light does not show the diagnostic
codes while the vehicle is running.

Speed Sensor Diagnosis System
PRECAUTION
While checking the speed sensor diagnosis system,
A.B.S. does not work and brake system works as normal
brake system.
INSPECTION OF DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE
Inspect that the battery voltage is about 12 V.
2. CHECK THAT WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON
(a) Turn the ignition switch on.
(b) Check that the ºANTILOCKº warning light turns on for
3 seconds.
If not, inspect and repair or replace the fuse, bulb and wire
harness.
(c) Check that the ºANTILOCKº warning light turns off.
(d) Turn the ignition switch off.
3. PERFORM FOLLOWING STEPS
(2WD)
(a) Disconnect the check connector from the actuator.
(b) Pull the parking brake lever up, and start the engine.
(d) Check that the warning light blinks about 4 times ev-
ery 1 second as shown. (c) Depress the brake pedal 4 to 6 times within 2
seconds.

4. INSPECT SENSOR SIGNAL LEVEL
Drive the vehicle straight ahead at about 4 ±6 km/h (2.5
± 3.7 mph), and check that the warning light turns on after
a 1 second pause.
If the warning light turns on without blinking when the ve-
hicle speed is not within the specified speed range above,
stop the vehicle and read the diagnostic code, and repair
the malfunctioning parts.
(See step S on page BR±79)
HINT: If the warning light turns on while the vehicle speed
is within specified speed range above, the check is com-
pleted. And when the vehicle speed exceeds 6 km/h
(3.7mph), the warning light will blink again. In this condi-
tion, speed sensors are OK.
NOTICE: While the warning light is off, do not give any
shocks to vehicle such as acceleration, deceleration, brak-
ing, shift change, steering or shocks from the road condi-
tion.
(4WD)
(a) Remove the rubber cap from the Ts connector lo-
cated in front of the actuator.
(b) Connect the terminals of Ts connector.
(c) Pull the parking brake lever up, and start the engine.
NOTICE: Do not depress the brake pedal.
(d) Check that the warning light blinks about 4 times ev-
ery 1 second as shown.

HINT:
wºNew beltº refer to a belt which has been used 5 minutes
or less on a running engine.
wºUsed beltº refers to a belt which has been used on a running
engine for 5 minutes or more.
wAfter installing a belt, check that it fits properly in the
ribbed grooves.
wCheck by hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped out
of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.
wAfter installing a new belt, run the engine for about 5
minutes and recheck the belt tension.
4. VISUALLY CHECK ALTERNATOR WIRING AND
LISTEN FOR ABNORMAL NOISES
(a) Check that the wiring is in good condition.
(b) Check that there is no abnormal noise from the
alternator white the engine is running.
6. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITHOUT LOAD
HINT: If a battery/alternator tester is available, connect the
tester to the charging circuit as per manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
(a) If a tester is not available, connect a voltmeter and ammeter
to the charging circuit as follows:
wDisconnect the wire from terminal B of the alternator and
connect it to the negative H probe of the ammeter.
wConnect the positive (+) probe of the ammeter to terminals
B of the alternator.
wConnect the positive (+) probe of the voltmeter to terminal
B of the alternator.
wGround the negative (±) probe of the voltmeter. 5. INSPECT CHARGE WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT
(a) Warm up the engine and then turn it off.
(b) Turn off all accessories.
(c) Turn the ignition switch to ºONº. Check that the charge
warning light is lit.
(d) Start the engine. Check that the light goes out.
If the light does not go off as specified, troubleshoot the
charge light circuit.
± CHARGING SYSTEMOn±Vehicle InspectionCH±4

(b) Check the charging circuit as follows: .
With the engine running from idling to 2,000 rpm,
check the reading on the ammeter and voltmeter.
Standard amperage: 10 A or less
Standard voltage: 13.9 ± 15.1 V at 25
°C (77°F)
13.5 ± 14.3 V at 115°C (2390F)
If the voltmeter reading is greater than standard volt-
age, replace the IC regulator.
7. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITH LOAD
(a) With the engine running at 2,000 rpm, turn on the high beam
headlights and place the heater blower switch at ºHlº.
(b) Check the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage: 30 A or more
If the ammeter reading is less than standard amperage,
repair the alternator. (See page CH±6)
HINT: With the battery fully charged, the indication will
sometimes be less than standard amperage. If the voltmeter reading is less than standard voltage,
check the IC regulator and alternator as follows:
wWith terminal F grounded, start the engine and check
the voltmeter reading of terminal B.
wIf the voltmeter reading is greater than standard voltage,
replace the IC regulator.
.. If the voltmeter reading is less than standard voltage,
check the alternator.
