DTC P0110 Intake Air Temp. Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The intake air temperature 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 in-
take air temperature. The lower the intake air temperature, the
greater the thermistor resistance value, and the higher the in-
take 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 ter-
minal THA via a resistor R. That is, the resistor R and the intake
air temp. sensor are connected in series. When the resistance
value of the intake air temperature sensor changes in accor-
dance with changes in the intake air temperature, the potential
at terminal THA also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM
increases the fuel injection volume to improve driveability dur-
ing cold engine operation.
If the ECM detects the DTC ºP0110º, it operates the fail-safe
function in which the intake air temperature is assumed to be
20° (68°F).

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A thermistor built into the engine coolant temperature sensor changes the resistance value according to the
engine coolant temperature. The structure of the sensor and connection to the ECM is the same as in the
intake air temp. circuit malfunction shown on page DI-24.
If the ECM detects the DTC P0115, it operates the fail-safe function in which the engine coolant temp. is
assumed to be 80°C (176°F).

SYSTEM CHECK DRIVING PATTERN
(a) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine and warm it up with all accessories switched OFF.
(c) Run the vehicle at 70 - 90 km/h (43 - 56 mph) for 3 minutes or more.
(d) Idle the engine for about 2 minutes.
(e) Stop at safe place and turn the ignition switch OFF.
(f) Start the engine and do steps (c) and (d) again.
(g) Check the READINESS TESTS mode on the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester. If COMPL
is displayed and the MIL does not light up, the system is normal. If INCMPL is displayed and the MIL
does not light up, run the vehicle again and check it.
HINT:
INCMPL is displayed when either condition (h) or (i) exists.
(h) The system check is incomplete.
(i) There is a malfunction in the system.
If there is a malfunction in the system, the MIL will light up after steps (b) to (f) above are done.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If DTC P0105 and/or P0106 and P0401 are output simultaneously, perform troubleshooting of DTC
ºP0105º first.

If DTC P0401 and P0402 are output simultaneously, perform troubleshooting of DTC P0402 first.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check operation of speedometer.
CHECK:
Drive the vehicle and check if the operation of the speedometer in the combination meter is normal.
HINT:
The vehicle speed sensor is operating normally if the speedometer display is normal.
NG Check speedometer circuit. See combination
meter troubleshooting.
OK
2 Check voltage between terminal SPD of ECM connector and body ground.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the lower finish panel.
(b) Shift the shift lever to neutral.
(c) Jack up one of the front wheels.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure the voltage between terminal SPD of the ECM con-
nector and the body ground when the wheel is turned slowly.
OK:
Voltage is generated intermittently.
NG Check and repair harness and connector be-
tween combination meter and ECM.
OK
Check and replace ECM (See page IN-26).

DTC P1780 Park/Neutral Position Switch Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The park/neutral position switch goes on when the shift lever is in the N or P shift position. When it goes on
terminal NSW of the ECM is grounded to body ground via the starter relay thus the terminal NSW voltage
becomes 0 V. When the shift lever is in the D, 2, L or R position, the park/neutral position switch goes off,
so the voltage of ECM terminal NSW becomes battery positive voltage, the voltage of the ECM internal pow-
er source.
If the shift lever is moved from the N position to the D position, this signal is used for air-fuel ratio correction
and for idle speed control (estimated control), etc.

HINT:

After confirming DTC P1780, use the TOYOTA hand-held tester to confirm the PNP switch signal from
the CURRENT DATA.

After confirming DTC P1780, in the case that the diagnostic trouble codes are erased by disconnecting
the battery terminals or EFI fuse, after operating the shift lever few times from P or N position to D posi-
tion, confirm the PNP switch signal using the CURRENT DATA of the TOYOTA hand-held tester. If
the PNP switch signal is not displayed on TOYOTA hand-held tester, the circuit of PNP switch signal
may be short.

PRE-CHECK
1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) Check the indicator.
When the ignition switch is turned ON, check that the ABS
warning light goes on for 3 seconds.
HINT:
If the indicator check result is not normal, proceed to trouble-
shooting for the ABS warning light circuit (See page DI-138).
(b) Check the DTC.
(1) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(2) Disconnect the short pin from the DLC1.
(3) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E
1 of the
DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
(4) Read the DTC from the ABS warning light on the
combination meter.
HINT:

If no code appears, inspect the diagnostic circuit or ABS
warning light circuit (See page DI-141 or DI-138).

As an example, the blinking patterns for normal code and
codes 11 and 21 are shown in the illustration.
(5) Code are explained in the code table on page
DI-1 15.
(6) After completing the check, disconnect terminals Tc
and E
1, and turn off the display.
If 2 or more malfunctions are indicated at the same time, the
lowest numbered DTC will be displayed 1st.
