With the engine racing (4,000 rpm) measure between ter-
minal KNK of ECM and body ground.
HINT:
The correct waveform is as shown.

Spread the time on the horizontal axis, and confirm that
period of the wave is 123 m sec.
(Normal mode vibration frequency of knock sensor: 8.1
KHz.)
HINT:
If normal mode vibration frequency is not 8.1 KHz, the sensor
is malfunctioning.

DTC P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor ºAº Circuit
Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Crankshaft position sensor (NE signal) consists of a signal plate and pickup coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft. The NE signal sensor generates 34
signals of every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G signals,
and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signals.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check resistance of crankshaft position sensor (See page IG-1).
Reference: INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE
During cranking or idling, check between terminals G2, NE and
NE- of ECM
HINT:
The correct waveforms are as shown.
NG Replace crankshaft position sensor.
OK
2 Check for open and short in harness and connector between ECM and crank-
shaft position sensor (See page IN-26).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.

DTC P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit
Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Camshaft position sensor (G signal) consist of signal plate and pickup coil.
The G signal plate has one tooth on its outer circumference and is mounted on the exhaust camshaft.
When the camshafts rotate, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pickup coil change,
causing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive force in the pickup coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft. The NE signal sensor generates 34
signals for every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G signals
and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signals.

DTC P0401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient
Detected
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The EGR system recirculates exhaust gas, which is controlled to the proper quantity to suit the driving condi-
tions, into the intake air mixture to slow down combustion, reduce the combustion temp. and reduce NOx
emissions. The amount of EGR is regulated by the EGR vacuum modulator according to the engine load.
If even one of the following conditions is fulfilled, the VSV is
turned OFF by a signal from the ECM.
This results in atmospheric air acting on the EGR valve, closing
the EGR valve and shutting off the exhaust gas (EGR cut-off).

Before the engine is warmed up.

During deceleration (throttle valve closed).

Light engine load (amount of intake air very small).

Engine speed over 4,400 rpm.

Engine racing.
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area

After the engine is warmed up, the intake manifold absolute
pressure is larger than the value calculated by the ECM while
the EGR system is ON.

Open or short in VSV circuit for EGR

Vacuum or EGR hose disconnected

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.
