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 temperature circuit
malfunction shown on page DI-175.
If the ECM detects the DTC P0115, it operates the fail safe function in which the engine coolant temperature
is assumed to be 80°C (176°F).

140°C (284°F) or more .... Go to step 4.
OK
Check for intermittent problems
(See page DI-147).
2 Check for open in harness or ECM.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect the engine coolant temp. sensor connector.
(b) Connect sensor wire harness terminals together.
(c) Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Read temperature value on the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA
hand-held tester.
OK:
Temperature value: 140°C (284°F) or more
OK Confirm good connection at sensor. If OK,
replace engine coolant temp. sensor.

DTC P0120 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch ºAº
Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The throttle position sensor is mounted in the throttle body and
detects the throttle valve opening angle. When the throttle valve
is fully closed, the IDL1 contacts in the throttle position sensor
are on, so the voltage at the terminal IDL1 of the ECM becomes
0 V. At this time, a voltage of approximately 0.7 V is applied to
terminal VTA1 of the ECM. When the throttle valve is opened,
the IDL1 contacts go off and thus the power source voltage of
approximately 12 V in the ECM is applied to the terminal IDL1
of the ECM. The voltage applied to the terminal VTA1 of the
ECM increases in proportion to the opening angle of the throttle
valve and becomes approximately 3.2 - 4.9 V when the throttle
valve is fully opened. The ECM judges the vehicle driving condi-
tions from these signals input from terminals VTA1 and IDL1,
and uses them as one of the conditions for deciding the air-fuel
ratio correction, power increases correction and fuel-cut con-
trol etc.
