1. INSPECT SPARK TEST
Check that the spark occurs.
(1) Disconnect the high±tension cord from the spark plug.
(2) Remove the spark plug.
(3) Install the spark plug to the high±tension cord.
(4) Ground the spark plug.
(5) See if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
NOTICE:
To prevent gasoline from being injected from injectors during this test, crank the engine for no more
than 5 ± 10 seconds at time.
If the spark does not occur, do the test as follows:

2. SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
The diagnostic system in the 1999 CAMRY fulfills various functions. The first function is the Diagnostic
Trouble Code Check in which a malfunction in the signal circuits to the ECU is stored in code in the ECU
memory at the time of occurrence, to be output by the technician during troubleshooting. Another function
is the Input Signal Check which checks if the signals from various switches are sent to the ECU correctly.
By using these check functions, the problem areas can be narrowed down quickly and troubleshooting can
be performed effectively. Diagnostic functions are incorporated in the following systems in the CAMRY.

In diagnostic trouble code check, it is very important to determine whether the problem indicated by the diag-
nostic trouble code is still occurring or occurred in the past but returned to normal at present. In addition,
it must be checked in the problem symptom check whether the malfunction indicated by the diagnostic
trouble code is directly related to the problem symptom or not. For this reason, the diagnostic trouble codes
should be checked before and after the symptom confirmation to determine the current conditions, as shown
in the table below. If this is not done, it may, depending on the case, result in unnecessary troubleshooting
for normally operating systems, thus making it more difficult to locate the problem, or in repairs not pertinent
to the problem. Therefore, always follow the procedure in correct order and perform the diagnostic trouble
code check.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
These are maintenance and inspection items which are considered to be the owner's responsibility.
They can be done by the owner or they can have them done at a service shop.
These items include those which should be checked on a daily basis, those which, in most cases, do not
require (special) tools and those which are considered to be reasonable for the owner to do.
Items and procedures for general maintenance are as follows.
1. GENERAL NOTES
Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner's manual supplement in which
the maintenance schedule is shown.
Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performed.
Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time interval (months).
Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval as before unless
otherwise noted.
Failure to do even one item an cause the engine to run poorly and increase exhaust emissions.
2. LIGHTS
(a) Check that the headlights, stop lights, taillights, turn signal lights, and other lights are all working.
(b) Check the headlight aim.
3. WARNING LIGHTS AND BUZZERS
Check that all warning lights and buzzers function properly.
4. HORN
Check that it is working.
5. WINDSHIELD GLASS
Check for scratches, pits or abrasions.
6. WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
(a) Check operation of the wipers and washer.
(b) Check that the wipers do not streak.
7. WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER
Check that air comes out from the defroster outlet when operating the heater or air conditioner.
8. REAR VIEW MIRROR
Check that it is mounted securely.
9. SUN VISORS
Check that they move freely and are mounted securely.
10. STEERING WHEEL
Check that it has the specified freeplay. Be alert for changes in steering condition, such as hard steering,
excessive freeplay or strange noises.
11. SEATS
(a) Check that the seat adjusters operate smoothly.
(b) Check that all latches lock securely in any position.
(c) Check that the head restraints move up and down smoothly and that the locks hold securely in any
latch position.
(d) For fold±down seat backs, check that the latches lock securely.
12. SEAT BELTS
(a) Check that the seat belt system such as the buckles, retractors and anchors operate properly and
smoothly.
(b) Check that the belt webbing is not cut, frayed, worn or damaged.

6. SRS WARNING LIGHT
The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter. It
goes on to alert the driver of trouble in the system when a mal-
function is detected in the airbag sensor assembly self±diagno-
sis. In normal operation conditions when the ignition switch is
turned to the ACC or ON position, the light goes on for about 6
seconds and then goes off.
7. AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The airbag sensor assembly is mounted on the floor inside the
lower center finish panel. The airbag sensor assembly consists
of an airbag sensor, safing sensor, diagnosis circuit, ignition
control and drive circuit, etc. It receives signals from the airbag
sensor and judges whether the SRS must be activated or not.
8. FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR
A front airbag sensor is mounted inside each of the side mem-
bers. The sensor unit is a mechanical type. When the sensor
detects deceleration force above a predetermined limit, contact
is made in the sensor, sending a signal to the airbag sensor as-
sembly. The sensor cannot be disassembled.
9. SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The side airbag sensor assembly is mounted in the LH and RH
center pillars. The side airbag sensor assembly consists of a lat-
eral deceleration sensor, safing sensor and diagnosis circuit,
etc. It receives signals to the airbag sensor assembly to judge
from the side airbag sensors whether the SRS side airbag must
be activated or not.
