6 Check fuel pressure.
PREPARATION:
(a) Be sure that enough fuel is in the tank.
(b) Connect the TOYOTA hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the TOYOTA hand±
held tester main switch ON.
(d) Use the ACTIVE TEST mode to operate the fuel pump.
(e) Please refer to the TOYOTA hand±held tester operator's
manual for further details.
(f) If you have no TOYOTA hand±held tester, connect the
positive (+) and negative (±) leads from the battery to the
fuel pump connector (See page SF±6).
CHECK:
Check for fuel pressure in the fuel inlet hose when it is pinched
off.

(e) Be sure to ground the screw of the spark plug securely.
CHECK:
Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
NOTICE:

Do not crash the electrode gap.

To prevent excess fuel being injected from the injectors during this test, don't crank the engine
for more than 5 ± 10 seconds at a time.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
HINT:
Parameters listed in the chart may not be exactly the same as your reading due to the type of instru-
ment or other factors.
If a malfunction code is displayed during the DTC check in check mode, check the circuit for that code
listed in the table below. For details of each code, turn to the page referred to under the ''See page
'' for the respective ''DTC No.'' in the DTC chart.
When the ignition switch is ON and ºREADYº indicator light is OFF, the bulb check of the ºMILº is per-
formed (ºMILº is ON).
When ºMILº is ON, but the DTC of the engine is not memorized, it may be because of HV control system
abnormality, so check HV control system beforehand.

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 Connect OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester, and read value of mass
air flow rate.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn ignition switch ON and push the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester main switch ON.
(c) Start the engine.
CHECK:
Read mass air flow rate on the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester.
RESULT:

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If DTC P0110 , P0115 and P0120 are output simultaneously, E2 (sensor ground) may be open.

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 Connect OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester, and read value of intake
air temperature.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester to DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester main switch
ON.
CHECK:
Read temperature value on the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester.
OK:
Same as actual air intake temperature.
HINT:

If there is open circuit, OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester indicates ± 40°C (± 40°F).

If there is short circuit, OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester indicates 140°C (284°F) or more.
NG ±40°C (±40°F) ....Go to step 2.
140°C (284°F) or more ....Go to step 4.
OK
Check for intermittent problems
(See page DI±3).
