ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. REMOVE ENGINE COVER
Remove the 4 nuts and engine cover.
2. INSPECT SYSTEM OPERATION
(a) Check that the throttle linkage moves smoothly.
(b) Inspect the throttle control motor for operating sound.
(1) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(2) When turning the accelerator pedal position sensor
lever, check the running sound of the motor. Also,
check that there is no friction sound.
If operation is not as specified, check the throttle control motor,
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.
3. INSPECT THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR
(a) Disconnect the throttle control motor connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minal 3 (CL±) and 4 (CL+).
Resistance: 4.2 ± 5.2 W at 20°C (68°F)
(c) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minal 1 (M+) and 2 (M±).
Resistance: 0.3 ± 100 W at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the throttle control
motor. (See page SF±37)
(d) Reconnect the throttle control motor connector.
4. INSPECT THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
(a) Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minals VC and E2.
Resistance: 1.2 ± 3.2 kW at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the throttle position
sensor. (See page SF±37)
(c) Reconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
5. INSPECT ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SEN-
SOR
(a) Disconnect the accelerator pedal position sensor con-
nector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minals VC and E2.
Resistance: 1.2 ± 3.2 kW at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the accelerator ped-
al position sensor. (See page SF±37)

tor.
6. REINSTALL ENGINE COVER
Reinstall the engine cover with the 4 nuts.

RESISTANCE
(a) Disconnect the oil control valve connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the
terminals.
Resistance: 5.5 ± 12 W at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the valve.
(c) Reconnect the oil control valve connector.
2. INSPECT VVT±i OPERATION
(a) Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
(b) Check that the engine stalls or becomes in rough±idling
state when the battery positive voltage is applied to the oil
control valve with the engine idling.
