Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and horizontally.
The connector joint, fulcrum of the vibration, and body
through portion are the major areas to be checked thorough-
ly.
Apply slight vibration with a finger to the part of the sensor
considered to be the problem cause and check that the mal-
function occurs.Shake Slightly

3. SYMPTOM SIMULATION
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when there are no problem symptoms occurring. In such cases,
a thorough customer problem analysis must be carried out, then simulate the same or similar conditions and
environment in which the problem occurred in the customer's vehicle. No matter how much experience a
technician has, or how skilled he may be, if he proceeds to troubleshoot without confirming the problem
symptoms he will tend to overlook something important in the repair operation and make a wrong guess
somewhere, which will only lead to a standstill. For example, for a problem which only occurs when the en-
gine is cold, or for a problem which occurs due to vibration caused by the road during driving, etc., the prob-
lem can never be determined so long as the symptoms are confirmed with the engine hot condition or the
vehicle at a standstill. Since vibration, heat or water penetration (moisture) is likely cause for problem which
is difficult to reproduce, the symptom simulation tests introduced here are effective measures in that the ex-
ternal causes are applied to the vehicle in a stopped condition.
Important Points in the Symptom Simulation Test:
In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms should of course be confirmed, but the problem area
or parts must also be found out. To do this, narrow down the possible problem circuits according to the symp-
toms before starting this test and connect a tester beforehand. After that, carry out the symptom simulation
test, judging whether the circuit being tested is defective or normal and also confirming the problem symp-
toms at the same time. Refer to the problem symptoms table for each system to narrow down the possible
causes of the symptom.

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.

2. SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CHECK
(a) Check the speed sensor signal.
(1) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(2) Using SST, connect terminals Ts and E
1 of the
DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
(3) Start the engine.
(4) Check that the ABS warning light blinks.
HINT:
If the ABS warning light does not blink, inspect the ABS warning
light circuit (See page DI-138).
(5) Drive the vehicle faster than 45 km/h (28 mph) for
several seconds.
(6) Stop the vehicle.
(7) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E
1 of the
DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
(8) Read the number of blinks of the ABS warning light.
HINT:
See the list of DTCs shown on the next page.

If every sensor is normal, a normal code is output (A cycle
of 0.25 sec. ON and 0.25 sec. OFF is repeated).

If 2 or more malfunctions are indicated at the same time,
the lowest numbered code will be displayed 1st.
(9) After doing the check, disconnect terminals Ts and
E
1, and Tc and E1 of the DLC1, and turn ignition
switch OFF.

(b) When installing the battery, be especially careful not to in-
correctly connect the positive (+) and negative (-) cables.
(c) Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during re-
moval or installation. Handle all MFI parts carefully, espe-
cially the ECM.
(d) Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are
numerous transistor circuits and contact with terminals
can cause further trouble.
(e) Do not open the ECM cover.
(f) When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to pre-
vent the entry of water. Also, when washing the engine
compartment, prevent water from getting on the MFI parts
and wiring connectors.
(g) Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
(h) Care is required when pulling out and inserting wiring con-
nectors.
(i) Release the lock and pull out the connector, pulling on the
connectors.
(j) Fully insert the connector and check that it is locked.
(k) When inspecting a connector with a volt/ohmmeter.
(l) Carefully take off the water-proofing rubber if it is a wa-
ter-proof type connector.
(m) Insert the tester probe into the connector from the wiring
side when checking the continuity, amperage or voltage.
(n) Do not apply unnecessary force to the terminal.
(o) After checking, install the water-proofing rubber securely
on the connector.
(p) Use SST for inspecting or testing the injector or its wiring
connector.

8. FUEL SYSTEM
(a) When disconnecting the high fuel pressure line, a large
amount of gasoline will spill out, so observe these proce-
dures:
(1) Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
(2) Start the engine. After the engine has stopped on
its own, turn the ignition switch.
(3) Put a container under the connection.
(4) Slowly loosen the connection.
