INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTCs P0105, P0106, P0110, P0115, P0120, P0180 and P0190 are output simultaneously, engine
coolant temperature sensor circuit may be open. Perform troubleshooting of DTC P0115 first.
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.

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, a voltage of approximately 0.3 ± 0.8 V is applied
to terminal VTA of the ECM. The voltage applied to the termi-
nals VTA 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 conditions from this signal input from terminal
VTA, and uses it as one of the conditions to decide the air±fuel
ratio correction, power increase correction and fuel±cut control
etc.

DTC P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temp. for Closed Loop
Fuel Control
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three±way cata-
lytic converter is used, but for the most efficient use of the three±way catalytic converter, the air±fuel ratio
must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio.
The A/F sensor has the characteristic that provides output voltage
* approximately proportional to the exist-
ing air±fuel ratio. The A/F sensor output voltage
* is used to provide feedback for the ECM to control the air±
fuel ratio.
By the A/F sensor output, the ECM can determine the deviation amount from the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio
and control the proper injection time immediately. If the A/F sensor is malfunctioning, ECM is unable to per-
form accurate air±fuel ratio control.
The A/F sensor is equipped with a heater which heats the zirconia element. The heater is controlled by the
ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the temp. of the exhaust gas is low), current flows to the heater
to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.
*: The voltage value changes at the inside of the ECM only.

HINT:
After confirming DTC P0125, use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to confirm voltage
output of A/F sensor from the CURRENT DATA.
The ECM controls the voltage of the AF+ and AF± terminals of the ECM to the fixed voltage. Therefore,
it is impossible to confirm the A/F sensor output voltage without OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±
held tester.
