E GLOSSARY OF TERMS AND SYMBOLS
BATTERY
Stores chemical energy and
converts it into electrical energy.
Provides DC current for the auto's
various electrical circuits.GROUND
The point at which wiring attaches to
the Body, thereby providing a return
path for an electrical circuit; without a
ground, current cannot flow.
CAPACITOR (Condenser)
A small holding unit for temporary
storage of electrical voltage.HEADLIGHTS
Current flow causes a headlight
filament to heat up and emit light. A
headlight may have either a single
(1) filament or a double (2) filament
1. SINGLE
FILAMENT
CIGARETTE LIGHTER
An electric resistance heating
element.2. DOUBLE
FILAMENT
CIRCUIT BREAKER
Basically a reusable fuse, a circuit
breaker will heat and open if too
much current flows through it.
Some units automatically reset when
cool, others must be manually reset.HORN
An electric device which sounds a
loud audible signal.
DIODE
A semiconductor which allows
current flow in only one direction.IGNITION COIL
Converts low±voltage DC current
into high±voltage ignition current for
firing the spark plugs.
DIODE, ZENERA diode which allows current flow in one
direction but blocks reverse flow only up
to a specific voltage. Above that potential,
it passes the excess voltage. This acts as
a simple voltage regulator.LIGHT
Current flow through a filament
causes the filament to heat up and
emit light.
PHOTODIODE
The photodiode is a semiconductor
which controls the current flow
according to the amount of light.LED (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE)
Upon current flow, these diodes emit
light without producing the heat of a
comparable light.
DISTRIBUTOR, IIA
Channels high±voltage current from
the ignition coil to the individual
spark plugs.METER, ANALOG
Current flow activates a magnetic
coil which causes a needle to move,
thereby providing a relative display
against a background calibration.
FUSEA thin metal strip which burns through
when too much current flows through it,
thereby stopping current flow and
protecting a circuit from damage.
FUSIBLE LINK
METER, DIGITAL
Current flow activates one or many
LED's, LCD's, or fluorescent
displays, which provide a relative or
digital display.
FUEL
FUSIBLE LINK
A heavy±gauge wire placed in high
amperage circuits which burns through on
overloads, thereby protecting the circuit.
The numbers indicate the crosssection
surface area of the wires.(for Medium Current Fuse)
(for High Current Fuse or
Fusible Link)MOTOR
A power unit which converts
electrical energy into mechanical
energy, especially rotary motion.

4. ORVR System
The ORVR (On-Board Refueling Vapor Recovery) is a system that uses a charcoal canister, which is provided
onboard, to recover the fuel vapor that is generated during refueling. This reduces the discharge of fuel vapor
into the atmosphere.
5. Fuel Tank
General
To reduce the amount of fuel vapor generated when the vehicle is parked, during refueling, or while driv-
ing, a vapor reducing fuel tank system has been adopted.
This system provides a vapor reducing fuel tank that expands or contracts in accordance with the volume
of the fuel in the fuel storage area in the fuel tank. By thus reducing the space in which fuel can evaporate,
the generation of fuel vapor is minimized.
Along with the provision of the vapor reducing fuel tank whose size fluctuates in the fuel tank, the fuel
gauge and the fuel pump have been provided in the sub tank. For this reason, a direct-acting fuel gauge
has been adopted.
NOTE:At low ambient temperatures, the capacity of the vapor reducing fuel tank is reduced as it is
made of resin (When the outside temperature is at ±10C (14F) the size of the tank will be re-
duced by approximate 5 liters).

DTC P0440 Evaporative Emission Control System
Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The vapor pressure sensor, VSV for canister closed valve (CCV) and VSV for purge flow switching valve are
used to detect abnormalities in the evaporative emission control system.
The ECM decides whether there is an abnormality in the evaporative emission control system based on the
vapor pressure sensor signal.
DTC P0440 is recorded by the ECM when evaporative emissions leak from the components or when the
vapor pressure sensor malfunctions.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If DTC P0441, P0446, P0450 or P0451 is output after DTC P0440, first troubleshoot DTC P0441,
P0446, P0450 or P0451. If no malfunction is detected, troubleshoot DTC P0440 next.

Ask the customer whether, after the MIL came on, the customer found the fuel tank cap loose and tight-
ened it. Also ask the customer whether the fuel tank cap was loose when refuelling. If the fuel tank cap
was loose, it was the cause of the DTC. If the fuel tank cap was not loose or if the customer was not
sure if it was loose, troubleshoot according to the following procedure.

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 was warmed up or not, the air±fuel
ratio was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.

When the ENGINE RUN TIME in the freeze frame data is less than 200 seconds, carefully check the
VSV for EVAP, charcoal canister and vapor pressure sensor.
