INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTC P0105, P0106, P0110, P0115, P0120 are output simultaneously, E2 (sensor ground) may be open.
1 Connect OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester, and read value of intake
air temperature.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the fuse cover on the instrument panel.
(b) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON and OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester main switch ON.
CHECK:
Read the temperature value on the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester.
OK:
Same value as the actual intake air temperature.
HINT:
If there is open circuit, OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester indicates -40°C (-40°F).
If there is short circuit, OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester indicates 140°C (284°F) or more.
NG -40°C (-40°F) ... Go to step 2.
140°C (284°F) or more ... Go to step 4.
OK
Check for intermittent problems
(See page DI-3).

DTC P0115 Engine Coolant Temp. Circuit Malfunction
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).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Connect OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester and read value for volt-
age output of heated oxygen sensor.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the fuse cover on the instrument panel.
(b) Connect OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(c) Warm up the engine to the normal operating temperature.
CHECK:
Read the voltage output of the heated oxygen sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) when the engine is suddenly raced.
HINT:
Perform quick racing to 4,000 rpm 3 times using accelerator pedal.
OK:
Heated oxygen sensor output a RICH signal (0.45 V or more) at least once.
OK Check and replace ECM (See page IN-26).
NG
2 Check for open and short in harness and connector between ECM and oxygen
sensor (See page IN-26).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.

P0130
Voltage output of oxygen sensor remains at 0.4 V or
more, or 0.55 V or less, during idling after the engine is
warmed up (2 trip detection logic)Oxygen sensor
Fuel trim malfunction
HINT:
Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closer to the engine body.
The oxygen sensor's output voltage and the short-term fuel trim value can be read using the OBD II scan
tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester.
WIRING DIAGRAM
Refer to page DI-38.
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
(1) Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Switch the TOYOTA hand-held tester from normal mode to check mode (See page DI-3).
(3) Start the engine and warm it up with all accessory switches OFF.
(4) Drive the vehicle at 50 - 65 km/h (31 - 40 mph) for 1 - 3 minutes to warm up the oxygen sensor.
(5) Idle the engine for 1 minute.
HINT:
If a malfunction exists, the MIL will light up during step (5).
NOTICE:
If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction will not be possible.
If you do not have a TOYOTA hand-held tester, turn the ignition switch OFF after performing steps
(3) to (5), then perform steps (3) to (5) again.
