Back±Up Function
If there is trouble with the program in the ECM and the ignition signals (IGT) are not output from the microcomput-
er, the ECM controls fuel injection and ignition timing at predetermined levels as a back±up function to make
it possible to continue to operate the vehicle.
Furthermore, the injection duration is calculated from the starting signal (STA) and the throttle position signal
(IDL). Also, the ignition timing is fixed at the initial ignition timing, 10°BTDC, without relation to the engine speed.
HINT: if the engine is controlled by the back±up function, the malfunction indicator lamp lights up to warn the
driver of the malfunction but the diagnostic trouble code is not output. EG±398

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.

STANDARD VALUE OF ECM TERMINALS
Connectors of the engine control module are waterproof and are
the bolt type.
For waterproof type connectors, in order to measure the voltage
of ECM terminals and the resistance of connected parts, connect
the inspection sub wire harness between the ECM and vehicle
wire harness, then do the inspection.
The inspection method of inserting a tester probe from the other
side of connector significantly reduces the waterproof perfor-
mance.
Disconnect the connector by fully loosening the bolt.
PREPARATION
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Turn up the passenger side floor carpet.
(See page EG±253)
3. Remove the ECM protector.
4. Disconnect the connector from the ECM.
After completely loosening the bolt, the 2 parts of the connec-
tor can be separated.
NOTICE:
wDo not pull the wire harness when disconnecting the con-
nector.
wWhen disconnecting the connector, the ECM's back±up
power source is cut off, so the malfunction codes, etc. re-
corded in the ECM memory are cancelled.
wNever insert a tester probe or male terminal used for in-
spection purposes into the female terminal of the vehicle
wire harness. Otherwise, the female terminal may be wid-
ened, which can result in faulty connection.
5. Connect SST (check harness ºAº) between the ECM and
connector of the vehicle wire harness.
SST 09990±01000
HINT: The arrangement of the check connector terminals are
the same as those of the ECM.
See page EG±405.
6. Disconnect the SST.
SST 09990±01000
7. Reconnect the connector to the ECM.
(a) Match the male connector correctly with the female
connector, then press them together.
(b) Tighten the bolt.
Make sure the connector is completely connected by
tightening the bolt until there is a clearance of less than
1 mm (0.04 in.) between the bottom of the male connec-
tor and the end of the female connector.
8. Install the ECM protector and floor carpet. EG±404

REFERENCE VALUE OF ECM DATA
HINT: ECM data can be monitored by TOYOTA hand±held
tester.
1. Hook up the TOYOTA hand±held tester to DLC2.
2. Monitor ECM data by following the prompts on the tester
screen.
Please refer to the TOYOTA hand±held tester operator's manual
for further details.

DTC 14 Ignition Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECM determines the ignition timing, turns on Tr1 at a predetermined angle (°CA) before the desired ignition
timing and outputs an ignition signal (IGT) º1º to the igniter.
Since the width of the IGT signal is constant, the dwell angle control circuit in the igniter determines the time
the control circuit starts primary current flow to the ignition coil based on the engine rpm and ignition timing one
revolution ago, that is, the time the Tr
2 turns on.
When it reaches the ignition timing, the ECM turns Tr
1 off and outputs the IGT signal ºOº.
This turns Tr
2 off, interrupting the primary current flow and generating a high voltage in the secondary coil which
causes the spark plug to spark. Also, by the counter electromotive force generated when the primary current
is interrupted, the igniter sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) to the ECM.
The ECM stops fuel injection as a fail safe function when the IGF signal is not input to the ECM.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
(See page IN±30).
(See page EG±404)
Check for spark.
Disconnect the high±tension cord from the distributor, hold its end about 12.5 mm (1/2º) from
the ground, see if spark occurs while the engine is being cranked.
Spark should be generated.
To prevent excess fuel being injected from the injectors during this check. Don't crank the engine
for more than 1 Ð 2 seconds at a time.
Check for open and short in harness and connector in IGF signal circuit
between engine control module and igniter (see page IN±30).
Disconnect igniter connector and check voltage between terminal IGF
of engine control module connector and body ground.
Repair or replace harness or connector.
Replace igniter.
Check and replace engine control module.
(1) Disconnect igniter connector.
(2) Connect SST (check harness ªAº).
See page EG±404)
SST 09990±01000
(3) Turn ignition switch ON.
Measure voltage between terminal IGF of engine
control module connector and body ground.
Voltage: 4.5 ~ 5.5 V EG±414
