CIRCUIT INSPECTION
DTC P0105 Manifold Absolute Pressure / Barometric
Pressure Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
By a built−in sensor unit, the manifold absolute pressure sensor
detects the intake manifold pressure as a voltage. The ECM
then determines the basic injection duration and basic injection
advance angle based on this voltage. Since the manifold abso-
lute pressure sensor does not use the atmospheric pressure as
a criterion, but senses the absolute pressure inside the intake
manifold (the pressure in proportion to the present absolute
vacuum 0) , it is not influenced by fluctuations in the atmospher-
ic pressure due to high altitude and other factors. This permits
it to control the air−fuel ratio at the proper lever under all condi-
tions.

If the ECM detects DTC ”P0105” it operates the fail safe function, keeping the ignition timing and injection
volume constant and making it possible to drive the vehicle.
HINT:
After confirming DTC P0105 use the OBDII scan tool or TOYOTA hand−held tester to confirm the manifold
absolute pressure from ”CURRENT DATA”.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTC P0105, P0110, P0115, P0120 are output simultaneously, E2 (sensor ground) may be open.
1 Connect OBDII scan tool or TOYOTA hand−held tester, and read value of man-
ifold absolute pressure.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the OBDII scan tool or TOYOTA hand−held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn ignition switch ON and OBDII scan tool or TOYOTA hand−held tester main switch ON.
CHECK:
Read value of manifold absolute pressure on the OBDII scan tool or TOYOTA hand−held tester.
OK:
Same as atmospheric pressure.
OK Check for intermittent problems
(See page DI−3).
NG
2 Check voltage between terminals VC and E2 of ECM connector.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove side trim cover (See page SF−61).
(b) Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure voltage between terminals VC and E2 of ECM con-
nector.
OK:
Voltage : 4.5 − 5.5V

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTC ”P0105” (Manifold Absolute Pressure / Barometric Pressure Circuit Malfunction) and ”P0106” (Man-
ifold Absolute Pressure / Barometric Pressure Circuit Range / Performance Problem) are output simulta-
neously, manifold absolute pressure sensor circuit may be open.
Perform troubleshooting of DTC P0105 first.
1 Are there any other codes (besides DTC P0106) being output?
YES Go to relevant DTC chart.
NO
Replace manifold absolute pressure sensor.

DTC P0110 Intake Air Temp. Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The intake air temp. sensor is built into the air cleaner cap and
senses the intake air temperature.
A thermistor built in the sensor changes the resistance value
according to the intake air temperature.
The lower the intake air temperature, the greater the thermistor
resistance value, and the higher the intake air temperature, the
lower the thermistor resistance value (See Fig. 1.).
The intake air temperature sensor is connected to the ECM
(See next page). The 5 V power source voltage in the ECM is
applied to the intake air temperature sensor from the terminal
THA via a resistor R.
That is , the resistor R and the intake air temperature sensor are
connected in series. When the resistance value of the intake air
temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in the
intake air temperature, the potential at terminal THA also
changes. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel in-
jection volume to improve driveability during cold engine opera-
tion.
If the ECM detects the DTC ”P0110”, it operates the fail safe
function in which the intake air temperature is assumed to be
20°C (68°F).
