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±598.
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±491).
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±492

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.

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 troubleshoot-
ing.
If there is a problem, and a normal code is displayed, proceed to the matrix chart of problem symptoms on page
EG±514. Make sure that every likely cause of the problem is checked.
Is battery positive voltage 11 V or more when engine is stopped?
Is engine cranked?
Does engine start?
Check air filter.
Charge or replace battery.
Proceed to matrix chart of problem symptom
on page EG±514.
Repair or replace.
Remove air filter.
Visually check that the air filter is not excessively
dirty or oily.
If necessary, clean the air filter with compressed
air. First blow from inside thoroughly, then blow
from outside of the air filter.
Charge or replace battery.
Is battery positive voltage 11 V or more when engine is stopped?

Air from port E is flowing out through port F.
Battery positive voltage is applied:
Closed air passage from E to F.

Check and repair harness and connector be-
tween VSV for waste gate valve and engine

DTC 43 Starter Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the engine is being cranked, the intake air flow is slow, so fuel vaporization is poor. A rich mixture is there-
fore necessary in order to achieve good startability. While the engine is being cranked, the battery positive volt-
age is applied to terminal STA of the ECM. The starter signal is mainly used to increase the fuel injection volume
for the starting injection control and after±start injection control.

DTC 78 Fuel Pump Control Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump speed is controlled at 2 steps (high speed, low speed) by the condition of the engine (starting,
light load, heavy load), when the engine starts (STA ON), the engine control module sends a Hi signal (battery
positive voltage) to the fuel pump ECU (FPC terminal).
The fuel pump ECU then outputs Hi voltage (battery positive voltage) to the fuel pump so that the fuel pump
operates at high speed.
After the engine starts, during idling or light loads, the engine control module outputs a Low signal (about 9 V)
to the fuel pump ECU, the fuel pump ECU outputs Low battery voltage (about 9 V) to the fuel pump and causes
the fuel pump to operate at low speed.
If the intake air volume increases (high engine load), the engine control module sends a Hi signal to the fuel
pump ECU and causes the fuel pump to operate at high speed.
 
 DTC No.

Park Neutral Position Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The park/neutral position switch goes on when the shift lever is in the N or P shift position. When it goes on the
terminal NSW of the ECM is grounded to body ground via the starter relay and theft deterrent ECU, thus the
terminal NSW voltage becomes 0 V. When the shift lever is in the D, 2, L or R position, the park/neutral position
switch goes off, so the voltage of ECM terminal NSW becomes positive battery voltage, the voltage of the ECM
internal power source.
If the shift lever is moved from the N position to the D position, this signal is used for air±fuel ratio correction
and for idle speed control (estimated control), etc.
When the park/neutral position switch is off, code º51º is output in the test mode diagnosis. (This is not abnor-
mal.)

ECM Power Source Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned on, battery volt-
age is applied to the terminal IGSW of the ECM,
and the main relay control circuit in the ECM sends
a signal to the terminal M±REL of the ECM, switch-
ing on the main relay. This signal causes current to
flow to the coil, closing the contacts of the main
relay and supplying power to the terminal + B of the
ECM.
If the ignition switch is turned off, the ECM contin-
ues to switch on the main relay for a maximum of
2 seconds for the initial setting of the IAC valve. EG±576
