ifold absolute pressure.
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 OBDII scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester main switch ON.
CHECK:
Read value of manifold absolute pressure on the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester.
OK:
Same value as the atmospheric pressure
OK Check for intermittent problems (See page
DI-3).
