REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
BASIC REPAIR HINT
(a) Use fender, seat and floor covers to keep the vehicle
clean and prevent damage.
(b) During disassembly, keep parts in the appropriate order
to facilitate reassembly.
(c) Installation and removal of battery terminal:
(1) Before performing electrical work, disconnect the
negative (±) terminal cable from the battery.
(2) If it is necessary to disconnect the battery for in-
spection or repair, first disconnect the negative (±)
terminal cable.
(3) When disconnecting the terminal cable, to prevent
damage to the battery terminal, loosen the cable
nut and raise the cable straight up without twisting
or prying it.
(4) Clean the battery terminals and cable ends with a
clean shop rag. Do not scrape them with a file or oth-
er abrasive objects.
(5) Install the cable ends to the battery terminals after
loosening the nut, and tighten the nut after installa-
tion. Do not use a hammer to tap the cable ends
onto the terminals.
(6) Be sure the cover for the positive (+) terminal is
properly in place.
(d) Check hose and wiring connectors to make sure that they
are connected securely and correctly.
(e) Non±reusable parts
(1) Always replace cotter pins, gaskets, O±rings, oil
seals, etc. with new ones.
(2) Non±reusable parts are indicated in the component
illustrations by the ºº symbol.
(f) Precoated parts
Precoated parts are bolts, nuts, etc. that are coated with
a seal lock adhesive at the factory.
(1) If a precoated part is retightened, loosened or
caused to move in any way, it must be recoated with
the specified adhesive.
(2) When reusing precoated parts, clean off the old
adhesive and dry with compressed air. Then apply
the specified seal lock adhesive to the bolt, nut or
threads.

7. ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
(a) Before removing SFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc.,
first disconnect the power by either turning the ignition
switch OFF or disconnecting the negative (±) terminal
cable from the battery.
HINT:
Always check the diagnostic trouble code before disconnecting
the negative (±) terminal cable from the battery.
(b) When installing the battery, be especially careful not to in-
correctly connect the positive (+) and negative (±) cable
terminals.
(c) Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during re-
moval or installation. Handle all SFI parts carefully, espe-
cially the ECM.
(d) Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are
numerous transistor circuits and even slight terminal con-
tact can further troubles.
(e) Do not open the ECM cover.
(f) When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to pre-
vent entry of water. Also, when washing the engine
compartment, prevent water from getting on the SFI parts
and wiring connectors.
(g) Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
(h) Care is required when pulling out and inserting wiring con-
nectors.
(1) Release the lock and pull out the connector, pulling
on the connectors.
(2) Fully insert the connector and check that it is locked.
(i) When inspecting a connector with a volt/ohmmeter.
(1) Carefully take out the water±proofing rubber if it is
a water±proof type connector.
(2) Insert the test probe into the connector from wiring
side when checking the continuity, amperage or
voltage.
(3) Do not apply unnecessary force to the terminal.
(4) After checking, install the water±proofing rubber on
the connector securely.
(5) Use SST for inspection or test of the injector or its
wiring connector.

ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. REMOVE ENGINE COVER
Remove 4 nuts and engine cover.
2. INSPECT INJECTOR OPERATION
Check operation sound from each injector.
(1) With the engine running or cranking, use a sound
scope to check that there is normal operating noise
in proportion to engine speed.
(2) If you have no sound scope, you can check the in-
jector transmission operation with a screwdriver.
If no sound or an unusual sound is heard, check the wiring con-
nector, injector or injection signal from the ECM.
3. INSPECT INJECTOR RESISTANCE
(a) Disconnect the injector connectors.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the
terminals.
Resistance: 13.4 ± 14.2 W at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the injector.
(c) Reconnect the injector connectors.
4. REINSTALL ENGINE COVER
Reinstall the 4 engine cover with the 4 nuts.

wiring and ECM.
(c) Inspect the throttle position sensor and accelerator pedal
position sensor function.
(1) Connect the LEXUS hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) When turning the accelerator pedal position sensor
lever to the full±open position, check that the
throttle valve opening percentage (THROTTLE
POS) of the CURRENT DATA showns the standard
value.
Throttle valve opening percentage: 60 % or more
If operation is not as specified, check that the throttle position
sensor, accelerator pedal position sensor, wiring and ECM.
(d) Start the engine, and check that the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) does not light up.
(e) Inspect the air assist system.
(1) Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating
temperature.

(2) Turn the A/C switch ON and OFF, and check the idle
speed.
Idle speed (Transmission in neutral):
700 ± 50 rpm (A/C OFF)
750 ± 50 rpm (A/C ON)
NOTICE:
Perform inspection under condition without electrical load.
(3) With engine idling, pinch the air assist hose and
check that engine speed drops, and then returns
back up to idle speed.
If operation is not as specified, check the throttle body, wiring
and ECM.
(f) After checking the above (b) to (e), perform the diving test
and check that there is no sense of incongruity.
