PRECAUTION
1. BEFORE WORKING ON FUEL SYSTEM, DISCON-
NECT NEGATIVE (-) TERMINAL CABLE FROM BAT-
TERY
HINT:
Any diagnostic trouble code retained by the computer will be
erased when the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected.
Therefore, if necessary, read the diagnosis before disconnect-
ing the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
2. DO NOT SMOKE OR WORK NEAR AN OPEN FLAME
WHEN WORKING ON THE FUEL SYSTEM
3. KEEP GASOLINE AWAY FROM RUBBER OR LEATH-
ER PARTS
4. MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
(a) In event of engine misfire, the following precautions
should be taken.
(1) Check proper connection to battery terminals, etc.
(2) Handle higt-tension cords carefully.
(3) After repair work, check that the ignition coil termi-
nals and all other ignition system lines are recon-
nected securely.
(4) When cleaning the engine compartment, be espe-
cially careful to protect the electrical system from
water.
(b) Precautions when handling the oxygen sensor.
(1) Do not allow the oxygen sensor to drop or hit
against an object.
(2) Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with
water.
5. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE RADIO SYS-
TEM (HAM, CB, ETC.)
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system,
refer to the precaution in the IN section.
6. AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
(a) Separation of the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, PCV
hose, etc. may cause the engine out of tune.
(b) Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder
head will cause air suction and cause the engine out of
tune.
7. ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
(a) Before removing MFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc.,
first disconnect the power by either turning the ignition
switch to LOCK or disconnecting the negative (-) terminal
cable from the battery.

(b) When installing the battery, be especially careful not to in-
correctly connect the positive (+) and negative (-) cables.
(c) Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during re-
moval or installation. Handle all MFI parts carefully, espe-
cially the ECM.
(d) Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are
numerous transistor circuits and contact with terminals
can cause further trouble.
(e) Do not open the ECM cover.
(f) When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to pre-
vent the entry of water. Also, when washing the engine
compartment, prevent water from getting on the MFI parts
and wiring connectors.
(g) Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
(h) Care is required when pulling out and inserting wiring con-
nectors.
(i) Release the lock and pull out the connector, pulling on the
connectors.
(j) Fully insert the connector and check that it is locked.
(k) When inspecting a connector with a volt/ohmmeter.
(l) Carefully take off the water-proofing rubber if it is a wa-
ter-proof type connector.
(m) Insert the tester probe into the connector from the wiring
side when checking the continuity, amperage or voltage.
(n) Do not apply unnecessary force to the terminal.
(o) After checking, install the water-proofing rubber securely
on the connector.
(p) Use SST for inspecting or testing the injector or its wiring
connector.

8. FUEL SYSTEM
(a) When disconnecting the high fuel pressure line, a large
amount of gasoline will spill out, so observe these proce-
dures:
(1) Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
(2) Start the engine. After the engine has stopped on
its own, turn the ignition switch.
(3) Put a container under the connection.
(4) Slowly loosen the connection.
(5) Disconnect the connection.
(6) Plug the connection with a rubber plug.
(7) Reconnect the fuel pump connector.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK FUEL PUMP OPERATION
(a) Remove the fuse cover on the instrument panel.
(b) Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON and TOYOTA hand-held tes-
ter main switch ON.
NOTICE:
Do not start the engine.
(d) Select the active test mode on the TOYOTA hand-held
tester.
(e) Please refer to the TOYOTA hand-held tester operator's
manual for further details.
If you have no TOYOTA hand-held tester, connect the positive
(+) and negative (-) leads from the battery to the fuel pump con-
nector (See step 6).
(f) Check that there is pressure in the fuel inlet hose from the
fuel filter.
HINT:
If there is fuel pressure, you will hear the sound of fuel flowing.
If there is no pressure, check the fusible link, H-fuse, fuses, EFI
main relay, circuit opening relay, fuel pump, ECM and wiring
connections.
2. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
(a) Check the battery positive voltage is above 11 V.
(b) Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the bat-
tery.
(c) Remove the union bolt and 2 gaskets, and disconnect the
fuel inlet hose from the fuel filter outlet.
CAUTION:
Put a shop towel under the fuel filter.Slowly loosen the
union bolt.

INJECTOR
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT INJECTOR OPERATION
Check operation sound from each injector.
(1) With the engine running or cranking, use a sound
scope to check that there is a normal operating
noise in proportion to engine speed.
(2) If you have no sound scope, you can check the
injector transmission operation with your finger.
If no sound or unusual sound is heard, check the wiring connec-
tor, injector or injection signal from the ECM.
2. INSPECT INJECTOR RESISTANCE
(a) Disconnect the injector connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the
terminals.
Resistance:
13.4 - 14.2 W at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the injector.
(c) Reconnect the injector connector.
