Diagnosis Inspection (Test Mode)
Compared to the normal mode, the test mode has an in-
creased sensing ability to detect malfunctions.
It can also detect malfunctions in the starter signal circuit, the
IDL contact signal of the throttle position sensor, air condi-
tioning signal and park/neutral position switch signal.
Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which are detected
in the normal mode can also be detected in the test mode.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
1. Initial conditions.
(a) Battery voltage 11 V or more
(b) Throttle valve fully closed
(c) Transmission in neutral position
(d) Air conditioning switched OFF
2. Turn ignition switch OFF
3. Using SST, connect terminals TE2 and E1 of the data link
connector 2.
SST 09843±18020
4. Turn ignition switch ON.
HINT:
wTo confirm that the test mode is operating, check that the
malfunction indicator lamp flashes when the ignition
switch is turned to ON.
wIf the malfunction indicator lamp does not flash, proceed
to troubleshooting of the TE2 terminal circuit on page
EG±484.
5. Start the engine.
6. Simulate the conditions of the malfunction described by the
customer.
7. After the road test, using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1
of the data link connector 2.
SST 09843±18020
8. Read the diagnostic trouble code on malfunction indicator
lamp on the telltale light RH (See page EG±385).
9. After completing the check, disconnect terminals TE1, TE2
and E1, and turn off the display.
HINT:
wThe test mode will not start if terminals TE2 and E1 are
connected after the ignition switch is turned ON.
wWhen the engine is not cranked, diagnostic trouble
codes º43º (Starter signal) output, but this is not
abnormal.
wWhen the automatic transmission shift lever is in the ºDº,
º2º, ºLº or ºRº shift position, or when the air conditioning
is on or when the accelerator pedal is depressed, code
º51º (Switch condition signal) is output, but this is not
abnormal. EG±386

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
USING TOYOTA HAND±HELD TESTER
1. Hook up the TOYOTA hand±held tester to the DLC2.
2. Read the diagnostic trouble codes by following the prompts
on the tester screen.
Please refer to the TOYOTA hand±held tester operation's
manual for further details.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CLEARANCE
1. After repair of the trouble areas, the diagnostic trouble code
retained in the ECM memory must be cleared out by
removing the EFI No.1 fuse (30A) from R/B No.2 for 10
seconds or more, with the ignition switch OFF.
HINT:
wCancellation can also be done by removing the negative
(±) terminal cable from the battery, but in this case, other
memory systems (clock, etc.) will also be cancelled out.
wIf it is necessary to work on engine components
requiring removal of the negative (±) terminal cable from
the battery, a check must first be made to see if a
diagnostic trouble code has been recorded.
2. After cancellation, road test the vehicle to check that a normal
code is now read on the malfunction indicator lamp.
If the same diagnostic trouble code appears, it indicates that
the trouble area has not been repaired thoroughly.
ECM DATA MONITOR USING TOYOTA
HAND±HELD TESTER
1. Hook up the TOYOTA hand±held tester to the DLC2.
2. Monitor the ECM data by following the prompts on the tester
screen.
HINT: TOYOTA hand±held tester has a ºSnapshotº function which
records the monitored data.
Please refer to TOYOTA hand±held tester operator's manual for
further details.
ECM TERMINAL VALUES MEASUREMENT
USING TOYOTA BREAK±OUT±BOX AND
TOYOTA HAND±HELD TESTER
1. Hook up the TOYOTA break±out±box and TOYOTA
handheld tester to the vehicle.
2. Read the ECM input/output values by following the prompts
on the tester screen.
HINT: TOYOTA hand±held tester has a ºSnapshotº function. This
records the measured values and is effective in the diagnosis of
intermittent problems.
Please refer to TOYOTA hand±held tester/TOYOTA break±out
box operator's manual for further details.

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
As described in the preceding paragraph, abnormality detection
ability in the test mode is increased compared to that in the normal
mode, so that when intermittent problems occur in the ECM signal
circuits (G1, G2, NE, THW, THA, VTA1) shown in the table below,
the appropriate diagnostic trouble code is output.
Accordingly, when the diagnostic trouble codes shown in the table
opposite (13, 22, 24, 41) are output during the diagnostic trouble
code check, and inspection of the appropriate circuits reveals no
abnormality, check for intermittent problems as described below.
By checking for intermittent problems, the place where intermittent
problems are occurring due to poor contacts can be isolated.
CLEAR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
See page EG±387.
SET TEST MODE
1. With the ignition switch OFF, using SST, connect the
terminals TE2 and E1 of the data link connector 2.
SST 09843±18020
2. Start the engine and check to see the malfunction indicator
lamp goes off.
PERFORM A SIMULATION TEST
Using the symptom simulation (See page IN±24), apply
vibration to and pull lightly on the wire harness, connector or
terminals in the circuit indicated by the malfunction code.
In this test, if the malfunction indicator lamp lights up, it indi-
cates that the place where the wire harness, connector or ter-
minals being pulled or vibrated has a faulty contact. Check
that point for loose connections, dirt on the terminals, poor fit
or other problems and repair as necessary.
HINT: After cancelling out the diagnostic trouble code in
memory and set the test mode, if the malfunction indicator
lamp does not go off after the engine is started, check thor-
oughly for faulty contacts, etc., then try the check again. If the
malfunction indicator lamp still does not go off, check and re-
place ECM.

BASIC INSPECTION
In many cases, by carrying out the basic engine check shown in the following flow chart, the location causing
the problem can be found quickly and efficiently. Therefore, use of this check is essential in engine trouble-
shooting.
If there is a problem, and a normal code is displayed, proceed to the matrix chart of problem symptoms on page
EG±408. Make sure that every likely cause of the problem is checked.
