HINT:
If a malfunction exists, the MIL will light up during step (6).
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 (6), then perform steps (3) to (6) 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 warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio lean or rich, etc.
at the time of the malfunction.
1 Are there any other codes (besides DTC P0130, P0150) being output ?
YES Go to relevant DTC chart.
NO
2 Check the output voltage of heated oxygen sensors (bank1, 2 sensor1)
during idling.
PREPARATION:
Warm up the heated oxygen sensors (bank1, 2 sensor1) with the engine at 2,500 rpm for approx. 90 sec.
CHECK:
Use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester to read the output voltage of the heated oxygen sen-
sors (bank1, 2 sensor1) during idling.
OK:
Heated oxygen sensors (bank1, 2 sensor1) output voltage:
Alternates repeatedly between less than 0.4 V and more than 0.55 V (See the following table).
OK Go to step 8.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Misfire: The ECM uses the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor to monitor changes in
the crankshaft rotation for each cylinder.
The ECM counts the number of times the engine speed change rate indicates that misfire has occurred.
When the misfire rate equals or exceeds the count indicating that the engine condition has deteriorated, the
MIL lights up.
If the misfire rate is high enough and the driving conditions will cause catalyst overheating, the MIL blinks
when misfiring occurs.

HINT:
When the 2 or more codes for a misfiring cylinder are recorded repeatedly but no Random Misfire code is
recorded, it indicates that the misfires were detected and recorded at different times.
WIRING DIAGRAM
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
(1) Connect the TOYOTA hand±held tester or OBD II scan tool.
(2) Record DTC and the freeze frame data.
(3) Use the TOYOTA hand±held tester to set to Check Mode. (See page DI±197)
(4) Drive the vehicle several times with the engine speed, load and its surrounding range shown with
ENGINE SPD, CALC LOAD in the freeze frame data or MISFIRE RPM, MISFIRE LOAD in the data list.
If you have no TOYOTA hand±held tester, turn the ignition switch OFF after the symptom is simulated
the first time. Then repeat the simulation process again.
HINT:
In order to memorize DTC of misfire, it is necessary to drive around MISFIRE RPM, MISFIRE LOAD in the
data list for the following period of time.
Engine SpeedTime
Idling3 minutes 30 seconds or more
1000 rpm3 minutes or more
2000 rpm1 minute 30 seconds or more
3000 rpm1 minute or more
(5) Check whether there is misfire or not by monitoring DTC and the freeze frame data. After that, record
them.
(6) Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 5 seconds.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If is the case that DTC besides misfire is memorized simultaneously, first perform the troubleshooting
for them.

Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand±held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame
data 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 warmed up or not, the air±fuel
ratio lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.

When the vehicle is brought to the workshop and the misfire is not occurred, misfire can be confirmed
by reproducing the condition or freeze frame data. Also, after finishing the repair, confirm that there
is no misfire. (See the confirmation driving pattern)

When either of SHORT FT #1, LONG FT #1, SHORT FT #2 or LONG FT #2 in the freeze frame data
is besides the range of ±20%, there is a possibility that the air±fuel ratio is inclining either to ºrichº
(±20% or less) or ºleanº (+20% or more).

When COOLANT TEMP in the freeze frame data is less than 80°C (176°F), there is a possibility or
misfire only during warming up.

In the case that misfire cannot be reproduced, the reason may be because of the driving with lack or
fuel, the use of improper fuel, a stain of ignition plug, and etc.
1 Check wire harness, connector and vacuum hose in engine room.
CHECK:
(a) Check the connection conditions of wire harness and connector.
(b) Check the disconnection, piping and break of vacuum hose.
NG Repair or replace, then confirm that there is no
misfire (See the confirmation driving pattern).

2 Check spark plug and spark of misfiring cylinder.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the ignition coil (See page IG±7).
(b) Remove the spark plug.
CHECK:
(a) Check spark plug type.
(b) Check for carbon deposits on electrode.
(c) Check electrode gap.
OK:
(a) Twin ground electrodes type.
Recommended spark plug:
ND PK20TR11
NGK BKR6EKPB±11
(b) No large carbon deposit present.
Not wet with gasoline or oil.
(c) Electrode gap:
Standerd: 1.0 ± 1.1 mm (0.03937 ± 0.043 in.).
Maximum: 1.3 mm (0.051 in.).
PREPARATION:
(a) Install the spark plug to the ignition coil, and connect the
ignition coil the connector.
(b) Disconnect injector connector.
(c) Hold the end about 12.5 mm (0.5 in.) from the ground.
CHECK:
Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
NOTICE:
To prevent excess fuel being injected from the
injectors during this test, don't crank the engine for more
than 5 ~ 10 sec. at a time.
OK:
Spark jumps across electrode gap.
NG Replace or check ignition system
(See page IG±1).
