WIRING DIAGRAM
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.

DTC P0130 Oxygen Sensor Circuit Malfunction
(Bank 1 Sensor 1)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0125 on page DI-38.
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 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.
OK
2 Check for oxygen sensor data.
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) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
CHECK:
Read the oxygen sensor output voltage and short-term fuel trim.
RESULT:
PatternOxygen sensor output voltageShort-term fuel trim
1Lean condition (Changes at 0.55 V or less)Changes at about +20 %
2Rich condition (Changes at 0.4 V or more)Changes at about -20 %

3 Check output voltage of oxygen sensor during idling.
PREPARATION:
Warm up the oxygen sensor with the engine at 2,500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.
CHECK:
Using the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester, read the output voltage of the oxygen sensor during
idling.
OK:
Oxygen sensor output voltage:
Alternates repeatedly between approx. 0.4 V and approx. 0.55 V (See these table):
OK Perform confirmation driving pattern.
