DTC P0105 Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric
Pressure Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
By a built-in sensor unit, the manifold absolute pressure sensor
detects the intake manifold pressure as a voltage. The ECM
then determines the basic injection duration and basic injection
advance angle based on this voltage. Since the manifold abso-
lute pressure sensor does not use the atmospheric pressure as
a criterion, but senses the absolute pressure inside the intake
manifold (the pressure in proportion to the present absolute
vacuum 0), it is not influenced by fluctuations in the atmospheric
pressure due to high altitude and other factors. This permits it
to control the air-fuel ratio at the proper lever under all condi-
tions.

ECM
If the ECM detects DTC P0105, it operates the fail-safe function, keeping the ignition timing and injection
volume constant and making it possible to drive the vehicle.
HINT:
After confirming DTC P0105, use the OBDII scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to confirm the manifold
absolute pressure from the CURRENT DATA.

DTC P0300 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
DTC P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected
DTC P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
DTC P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
DTC P0304 Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Misfire: The ECM uses the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor to monitor changes in
the crankshaft rotation for each cylinder.
The ECM counts the number of times the engine speed change rate indicates that misfire has occurred. And
when the misfire rate equals or exceeds the count indicating that the engine condition has deteriorated, the
MIL lights up.
If the misfire rate is high enough and the driving conditions will cause catalyst overheating, the MIL blinks
when misfiring occurs.

DTC P0325 Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A knock sensor is fitted to the cylinder block to detect engine knocking. This sensor contains a piezoelectric
element which generates a voltage when it becomes deformed, which occurs when the cylinder block vi-
brates due to knocking. If engine knocking occurs, ignition timing is retarded to suppress it.

DTC P1300 Ignition Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A DIS (Direct Ignition System) has been adopted. The DIS improves the ignition timing accuracy, reduces
high-voltage loss, and enhances the overall reliability of the ignition system by eliminating the distributor.
The DIS is a 2-cylinder simultaneous ignition system which ignites 2 cylinders simultaneously with one igni-
tion coil. In the 2-cylinder simultaneous ignition system, each of the 2 spark plugs is connected to the end
of the secondary winding. High voltage generated in the secondary winding is applied directly to the 2 spark
plugs. The sparks of the 2 spark plugs pass simultaneously from the center electrode to the ground elec-
trode.
The ECM determines ignition timing end outputs the ignition signals (IGT) for each cylinder. Based on IGT
signals, the igniter controls the primary ignition signals (IGC) for all ignition coils. At the same time, the igniter
also sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) as a fail-safe measure to the ECM.
