After installing a new belt, run the engine for about 5 min-
utes and recheck the belt tension.
6. VISUALLY CHECK GENERATOR WIRING AND
LISTEN FOR ABNORMAL NOISES
(a) Check that the wiring is in good condition.
(b) Check that there is no abnormal noise from the generator
while the engine is running.
7. CHECK DISCHARGE WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT
(a) Warm up the engine and then turn it off.
(b) Turn off all accessories.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ºONº. Check that the discharge
warning light is lit.
(d) Start the engine. Check that the light goes off.
If the light does not go off as specified, troubleshoot the dis-
charge light circuit.
8. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITHOUT LOAD
HINT:
If a battery/generator tester is available, connect the tester to
the charging circuit as per manufacturer's instructions.
(a) If a tester is not available, connect a voltmeter and amme-
ter to the charging circuit as follows:

Disconnect the wire from terminal B of the genera-
tor, and connect it to the negative (±) tester probe
of the ammeter.

Connect the positive (+) tester probe of the amme-
ter to terminal B of the generator.

Connect the positive (+) tester probe of the voltme-
ter to terminal B of the generator.

Ground the negative (±) tester probe of the voltme-
ter.
(b) Check the charging circuit as follows:
With the engine running from idling to 2,000 rpm, check
the reading on the ammeter and voltmeter.
Standard amperage: 10 A or less
Standard voltage: 13.5 ± 15.1 V
If the voltmeter reading is more than standard voltage, replace
the voltage regulator.

(b) Check the DLC3
The vehicle's ECM uses ISO 9141±2 for communication.
The terminal arrangement of DLC3 complies with SAE
J1962 and matches the ISO 9141±2 format.
Terminal No.Connection / Voltage or ResistanceCondition
7Bus  Line / Pulse generationDuring transmission
4Chassis Ground e Body Ground /1 W or lessAlways
5Signal Ground e Body Ground /1 W or lessAlways
16Battery Positive e Body Ground /9 ~ 14 VAlways
HINT:
If your display shows ºUNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLEº
when you have connected the cable of the OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand±held tester to DLC3, turned the ignition switch
ON and operated the scan tool, there is a problem on the ve-
hicle side or tool side.

If communication is normal when the tool is connected to
another vehicle, inspect DLC3 on the original vehicle.

If communication is still not possible when the tool is con-
nected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the
tool itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the
tool's instruction manual.
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±2).
(2) When the engine started, the MIL should go off. If
the lamp remains on, the diagnosis system has de-
tected a malfunction or abnormality in the system.
(b) Check the DTC.
NOTICE:
TOYOTA hand±held tester only: When the diagnosis sys-
tem is switched from normal mode to check mode, it
erases all DTCs and freezed frame data recorded in normal
mode. So before switching modes, always check the DTCs
and freezed frame data, and note them down.
(1) Prepare the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE
J1978) or TOYOTA hand±held tester.

(2) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±
held tester to DLC3 under the instrument panel low-
er pad.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the OBD II scan
tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester switch ON.
(4) Use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held
tester to check the DTCs and freezed frame data
and note them down. (For operating instructions,
see the OBD II scan tool's instruction book.)
(5) See page DI±3 to confirm the details of the DTCs.
NOTICE:

When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool
(excluding TOYOTA hand±held tester) to check the
DTCs, use normal mode. For code on the DTC chart
subject to º2 trip detection logicº, perform the follow-
ing either action.

Turn the ignition switch OFF after the symptom is
simulated the first time. Then repeat the simulation
process again. When the problem has been simulated
twice, the MIL lights up and the DTCs are recorded in
the ECM.

Check the 1st trip DTC using Mode 7 (Continuous Test
Results) for SAE J1979.
(c) Clear the DTC.
The DTCs and freezed frame data will be erased by either
action.
(1) Operating the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE
J1978) or TOYOTA hand±held tester to erase the
codes. (See the OBD II scan tool's instruction book
for operating instructions.)
(2) Disconnecting the battery terminals or EFI fuse.
NOTICE:
If the TOYOTA hand±held tester switches the ECM from
normal mode to check mode or vice±versa, or if the ignition
switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF during check
mode, the DTCs and freezed frame data will be erased.

3. INSPECT DIAGNOSIS (Check Mode)
HINT:
TOYOTA hand±held tester only:
Compared to the normal mode, the check mode has an in-
creased sensitivity to detect malfunctions.
Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which are detected in
the normal mode can also be detected in the check mode.
(a) Check the DTC.
(1) Initial conditions

Battery positive voltage 11 V or more

Throttle valve fully closed

Transmission in P or N position

Air conditioning switched OFF
(2) Turn ignition switch OFF.
(3) Prepare the TOYOTA hand±held tester.
(4) Connect the TOYOTA hand±held tester to the
DLC3 under the instrument panel lower pad.
(5) Turn the ignition switch ON and switch the TOYOTA
hand±held tester ON.
(6) Switch the TOYOTA hand±held tester normal mode
to check mode. (Check that the MIL flashes.)
NOTICE:
If the TOYOTA hand±held tester switches the ECM from
normal mode to check mode or vice±versa, or if the igni-
tion switch is turned from ON to ACC or LOCK during check
mode, the DTCs and freezed frame data will be erased.
(7) Start the engine. (The MIL goes out after the engine
start.)
(8) Simulate the conditions of the malfunction de-
scribed by the customer.
NOTICE:
Leave the ignition switch ON until you have checked the
DTC, etc.
(9) After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the
TOYOTA hand±held tester diagnosis selector to
check the DTCs and freezed frame data, etc.
HINT:
Take care not to turn the ignition switch OFF. Turning the ignition
switch OFF switches the diagnosis system from check mode to
normal mode. So all DTCs, etc. are erased.
(10) After checking the DTC, inspect the applicable cir-
cuit.

5. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
TOYOTA HAND±HELD TESTER only:
By putting the vehicle's ECM in check mode, 1 trip detection logic is possible instead of 2 trip detection logic
and sensitivity to detect open circuits is increased. This makes it easier to detect intermittent problems.
(1) Clear the DTC (See page DI±3).
(2) Set the check mode (See page DI±3).
(3) Perform a simulation test (See page IN±21).
(4) Check the connector and terminal (See page IN±31).
(5) Handle the connector (See page IN±31).
6. BASIC INSPECTION
When the malfunction code is not confirmed in the DTC check, troubleshooting should be performed in the
order for all possible circuits to be considered as the causes of the problems. In many cases, by carrying
out the basic engine check shown in the following flow chart, the location causing the problem can be found
quickly and efficiently. Therefore, use of this check is essential in engine troubleshooting.
1 Is battery positive voltage 11 V or more when engine is stopped?
