± DIAGNOSTICSENGINE
(1) Connect the TOYOTA hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Switch the TOYOTA hand±held tester from the normal mode to the check mode (See page
DI±3).
(3) Start the engine and warm it up with all accessory switches OFF.
(4) Drive the vehicle at 60 ± 120 km/h (38 ± 75 mph) and engine speed at 1,600 ± 3,200 rpm for 3
- 5 min.
HINT:
If a malfunction exists, the MIL will light up during step (4).
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) and (4), then perform steps (3) and (4) again.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand±held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame records
the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting it is useful for determining
whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio was lean
or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
1 Are there any other codes (besides DTC P1130) being output?
YES Go to relevant DTC chart.
NO
2 Connect OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester, and read value for volt-
age output of A/F sensor.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Warm up the A/F sensor with the engine speed at 2,500 rpm for approx. 90 sec.
CHECK:
Read the voltage value of the A/F sensor on the screen of OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester
when you perform all the following conditions.
HINT:
The voltage of the AF+ terminal of the ECM is 3.3 V fixed and the AF± terminal is 3.0 V fixed. Therefore,
it is impossible to check the A/F sensor output voltage at the terminals (AF+/AF±) of the ECM.

PRE±CHECK
1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) Description

When troubleshooting OBD II vehicles, the only dif-
ference from the usual troubleshooting procedure
is that you connect an OBD II scan tool complying
with SAE J1987 or hand±held tester to the vehicle,
and read off various data output from the vehicle's
ECM.
OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on±
board computer lights up the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel when the com-
puter detects a malfunction in the computer itself or
in drive system components which affect vehicle
emissions. In addition to the MIL lighting up when
a malfunction is detected, the applicable DTCs pre-
scribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the ECM
memory (See page DI±14).
If the malfunction only occurs in 3 trips, the MIL goes
off but the DTCs remain recorded in the ECM
memory.

To check the DTCs, connect an OBD II scan tool or
hand±held tester to DLC3 on the vehicle. The OBD
II scan tool or hand±held tester also enables you to
erase the DTCs and check freeze frame data and
various forms of engine data (For instruction book).
DTCs include SAE controlled codes and Manufac-
turer controlled codes.
SAE controlled codes must be set as the codes pre-
scribed by the SAE, while Manufacturer controlled
codes can be set freely by the manufacturer within
the prescribed limits (See DTC chart on page
DI±14)

2. INSPECT DIAGNOSIS (NORMAL MODE)
(a) Check the MIL.
(1) The MIL comes on when the ignition switch is turned
ON and the engine is not running.
HINT:
If the MIL does not light up, troubleshoot the combination meter
(See page BE±4).
(2) When the engine is started, the MIL should go off.
If the lamp remains on, the diagnosis system has
detected a malfunction or abnormality in the sys-
tem.
(b) Check the DTC.
NOTICE:
(hand±held tester only): When the diagnostic system is
switched from normal mode to check mode, it erases all
DTCs and freeze frame data recorded in normal mode. So
before switching modes, always check the DTCs and
freeze frame data, and note them down.
(1) Prepare an OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE
J1978) or hand±held tester.
(2) Connect the OBD II scan tool or hand±held tester
to DLC3 at the lower portion of the instrument panel.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the OBD II scan
tool or hand±held tester switch ON.
(4) Use the OBD II scan tool or hand±held tester to
check the DTCs and freeze frame data and note
them down (For operating instructions, see the
OBD II scan tool's instruction book).
(5) See page DI±145 to confirm the details of the DTCs.
NOTICE:
When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool (ex-
cluding hand±held tester) to check the DTCs, use normal
mode. For codes on the DTCs chart subject to º2 trip detec-
tion logicº, turn the ignition switch off after the symptoms
have been simulated the 1st time. Then repeat the simula-
tion process again. When the program has DTCs, the DTCs
are recorded in the ECM.

(b) Clearance the DTC.
The following actions will erase the DTC and freeze frame
data. Operating an OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE
J1978) or hand±held tester to erase the codes.
(See the OBD II scan tool's instruction book for operating
instructions.)
4. ROAD TEST
NOTICE:
Perform the test at normal operating ATF temperature 50 ± 80 °C (122 ± 176 °F).
(a) D position test
Shift into the D position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and and check the following points:
(1) Check up±shift operation.
1 " 2, 2 " 3 and 3 " O/D up±shifts take place, at the shift point shown in the automatic shift
schedule (See Pub. No. RM654U on page SS±54).
HINT:

O/D Gear Up±shift Prohibition Control (1. Coolant temp. is 50 °C (122 °F) or less. 2. If there is a 10
km/h (6 mph) difference between the set cruise control speed and vehicle speed.)

O/D Gear Lock±up Prohibition Control (1. Brake pedal is depressed. 2. Coolant temp. is 50 °C
(122 °F) or less.)
(2) Check for shift shock and slip.
Check for shock and slip at the 1 " 2, 2 " 3 and 3 " O/D up±shifts.
(3) Check for abnormal noises and vibration.
Run at the D position lock±up or O/D gear and check for abnormal noises and vibration.
HINT:
The check for the cause of abnormal noises and vibration must be done very thoroughly as it could also be
due to loss of balance in the differential or torque converter clutch, etc.
(4) Check kick±down operation.
While running in the D position, 2nd, 3rd and O/D gears, check to see that the possible kick±down
vehicle speed limits for 2 " 1, 3 " 2 and O/D " 3 kick±downs conform to those indicated on
the automatic shift schedule (See Pub. No. RM654U on page SS±54).
(5) Check abnormal shock and slip at kick±down.
(6) Check the lock±up mechanism.

Drive in D position, O/D gear, at a steady speed (lock±up ON) of about 75 km/h (47 mph).

Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change
abruptly.
If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock±up.
(b) 2 position test
Shift into the 2 position and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check the following points:
(1) Check up±shift operation.
Check to see that the 1 " 2 up±shift takes place and that the shift point conforms to the automatic
shift schedule (See Pub. No. RM654U on page SS±54).
HINT:
There is no O/D up±shift and lock±up in the 2 position.
(2) Check engine braking.
While running in the 2 position and 2nd gear, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine
braking effect.

(f) Inspect and adjust the shift lever position.
When shifting the shift lever from the N position to other
positions, check that the lever can be shifted smoothly
and accurately to each position and that the position indi-
cator is aligned with the correct position.
If the indicator is not aligned with the correct position, carry out
the following adjustment procedures.
(1) Loosen the nut on the shift lever.
(2) Push the control shaft fully rearward.
(3) Return the control shaft lever 2 notches to N posi-
tion.
(4) Set the shift lever to N position.
(5) While holding the shift lever lightly toward the R
position side, tighten the shift lever nut.
Torque: 13 N´m (130 kgf´cm, 9 ft´lbf)
(6) Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle
moves forward when shifting the lever from the N to
D position and reverses when shifting it to the R
position.
(g) Inspect and adjust the park/neutral position.
Check that the engine can be started with the shift lever
only in the N or P position, but not in other positions.
If it is not as stated above, carry out the following adjustment
procedures.
(1) Loosen the park/neutral position switch bolt and set
the shift lever to the N position.
(2) Align the groove and neutral basic line.
(3) Hold the switch in position and tighten the bolt.
