EFI SYSTEM CHECK PROCEDURE
(2VZ±FE)
PREPARATION
(a) Disconnect the connectors from the ECU.
(b) Remove the locks as shown in the illustration so that the
tester probe(s) can easily come in.
NOTICE: Pay attention to sections ºAº and ºBº in the il-
lustration which can be easily broken.
(e) Reconnect the connectors to the ECU.
HINT:
wPerform all voltage measurements with the connectors con-
nected.
wVerify that the battery voltage is 11 V or more when the igni-
tion switch is in ºONº position.
Using a voltmeter with high impedance (10 k
/V mini±
mum), measure the voltage at each terminal of the wiring
connectors.
