7 Check fuel pressure.
PREPARATION:
(a) Be sure that enough fuel is in the tank.
(b) Turn ignition switch ON.
(c) Remove the fuse cover on the instrument panel.
(d) Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester to DLC3 on the
vehicle.
(e) Use ACTIVE TEST mode to operate the fuel pump.
(f) If you have no TOYOTA hand-held tester, connect the
positive (+) and negative (-) leads from the battery to the
fuel pump connector (See page MF-1).
CHECK:
Check for fuel pressure in the inlet hose when it is pinched off.
HINT:
At this time, you will hear a fuel flowing noise.
NG Proceed to page MF-1 and continue to trouble-
shoot.
OK
8 Check for spark.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect the high-tension cord from spark plug or re-
move the ignition coil.
(b) Remove spark plug.
(c) Install the spark plug to high-tension cord or ignition coil.
(d) Disconnect injector connector.
(e) Ground the spark plug.
CHECK:
Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
NOTICE:
To prevent excess fuel being injected from the injectors
during this test, do not crank the engine for more than 5 -
10 seconds at a time.
NG Proceed to page IG-1 and continue to trouble-
shoot.

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 atmospheric
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.

ECM
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 the CURRENT DATA.

DTC P0171 System too Lean (Fuel Trim)
DTC P0172 System too Rich (Fuel Trim)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ºFuelº trim refers to the feedback compensation value compared against the basic injection time. Fuel trim
includes short-term fuel trim and long-term fuel trim.
ºShort-term fuel trimº is the short-term fuel compensation used to maintain the air-fuel ratio at its ideal
theoretical value. The signal from the oxygen sensor indicates whether the air-fuel ratio is RICH or LEAN
compared to the ideal theoretical value, triggering a reduction in fuel volume if the air-fuel ratio is rich, and
an increase in fuel volume if it is lean.
ºLong-term fuel trimº is overall fuel compensation carried out long-term to compensate for continual devi-
ation of the short-term fuel trim form the central value due to individual engine differences, wear over time
and changes in the usage environment.
If both the short-term fuel trim and long-term fuel trim are LEAN or RICH beyond a certain value, it is de-
tected as a malfunction and the MIL lights up.

HINT:

When DTC P0171 is recorded, the actual air-fuel ratio is on the LEAN side. When DTC P0172 is re-
corded, the actual air-fuel ratio is on the RICH side.

If the total of the short-term fuel trim value and long-term fuel trim value is within + 25 %, the system
is functioning normally.

If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the air-fuel ratio is LEAN and DTC P0171 is recorded. The MIL then
comes on.
