6. BASIC INSPECTION
When the Malfunction code is not confirmed in the DTC check, troubleshooting should be performed in the
order for all possible circuits to be considered as the causes of the problems.
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.
1 Is battery positive voltage 11 V or more when engine is stopped?
NO Charge or replace battery.
YES
2 Is engine cranked?
NO Proceed to STARTING and continue to trouble-
shoot.
YES
3 Does engine start?
NO Go to step 7.
YES

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTC P0441, P0446 or P0450 is output after DTC P0440, first troubleshoot DTC P0441, P0446 or
P0450. If no malfunction is detected, troubleshoot DTC P0440 next.
Ask the customer whether, after the MIL came on, the customer found the fuel tank cap loose and tight-
ened it. Also ask the customer whether the fuel tank cap was loose when refuelling.
If the fuel tank cap was loose, it was the cause of the DTC. If the fuel tank cap was not loose or if the
customer was not sure if it was loose, troubleshoot according to the following procedure.

DTC P1500 Starter Signal Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the engine is cranked, the intake air flow is slow, so fuel vaporization is poor. A rich mixture is therefore
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.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
This diagnostic chart is based on the premise that the engine is cranked normally. If the engine is not
cranked, proceed to the matrix chart of problem symptoms on page DI−20.

(5) See page DI−138 to confirm the details of the
DTCs.
NOTICE:
When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool (ex-
cluding TOYOTA hand−held tester) to check the DTCs, use
the normal mode. For codes on the DTC chart subject to ”2
trip detection logic”, turn the ignition switch off after the
symptoms have been simulated for the first time. Then re-
peat the simulation process again. When the program has
been simulated twice, the MIL lights up and the DTCs are
recorded in the ECM.
3. Check Mode:
INSPECT DIAGNOSIS
HINT:
TOYOTA hand−held tester only:
Compared to the normal mode, the check mode has high sens-
ing ability to detect malfunctions.
Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which are detected in
the normal mode can also be detected in the check mode.
(a) Check the DTC.
(1) Initial conditions.
Battery positive voltage 11 V or more
Throttle valve fully closed
Transaxle in the PARK position
Air conditioning switched off
(2) Prepare the TOYOTA hand−held tester.
(3) Connect the TOYOTA hand−held tester to the
DLC3.
(4) Turn the ignition switch ON and switch the TOYOTA
hand−held tester ON.
(5) Switch the TOYOTA hand−held tester from the nor-
mal mode to the check mode (Check that the MIL
flashes.).
(6) Start the engine (The MIL goes off after the engine
start.).
(7) Simulate the conditions of the malfunction de-
scribed by the customer.
NOTICE:
Leave the ignition switch ON until you have checked the
DTCs, etc.
(8) After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the
TOYOTA hand−held tester diagnosis selector to
check the DTCs and freezed frame data, etc.
HINT:
Take care not to turn the ignition switch OFF.
Turning the ignition switch off switches the diagnosis system
from check mode to normal mode, so all DTCs, etc. are erased.
(9) After checking the DTC, inspect the applicable cir-
cuit.
