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±324)
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±511.
6. Disconnect the SST.
SST 09990±01000
7. Reconnect the connector to the ECM.
(a) M a t c h t h e m a l e connector correctly with the female
connector, then press them together.
(b) Tighten the bolt.
Make sure the connector is completely connected by tighten-
ing the bolt until there is a clearance of less than 1 mm (0.04
in.) between the bottom of the male connector and the end
of the female connector.
8. Install the ECM protector and floor carpet. EG±510

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.
DTC No. Diagnostic Trouble Code Detecting Condition Trouble Area
