2 Check for oxygen sensor data.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the OBDII scan tool or TOYOTA hand−held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
CHECK:
Read the oxygen sensor output voltage and short−term fuel trim.
RESULT:
PatternOxygen sensor output voltageShort−term fuel trim
1Lean condition (Changes at 0.55 V or less)Changes at about +20 %
2Rich condition (Changes at 0.35 V or more)Changes at about −20 %

INSPECTION
1. VISUALLY INSPECT LINES AND CONNECTIONS
Look for loose connections, sharp bends or damage.
2. VISUALLY INSPECT FUEL TANK
Look for deformation, cracks or fuel leakage.
3. VISUALLY INSPECT FUEL TANK CAP
Check if the cap and/or gasket are deformed or damaged.
If necessary, repair or replace the cap.
4. DISCONNECT EVAP HOSES FROM CHARCOAL CAN-
ISTER
5. VISUALLY INSPECT CHARCOAL CANISTER
Look for cracks or damage.
6. CHECK FOR CLOGGED FILTER, AND STUCK CHECK
VALVE AND DIAPHRAGM
(a) Install a plug to port E.
(b) While holding port B closed, blow air (1.76 kPa, 18
gf/cm
2, 0.26 psi) into port A and check that air flows from
port D.
(c) While holding port B and port D closed, blow air (1.76 kPa,
18 gf/cm
2, 0.26 psi) into port A and check that air does not
flow from port C.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING
If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with regulations,
troubleshoot in the order given below.
(a) Check the oxygen sensor operation (See page DI−42).
(b) See the table below for possible causes, then inspect and
correct the applicable causes if necessary.
