2000 TOYOTA CAMRY check engine

(1) Remove glove compartment.
(See page EG1±234).
(2) Disconnect cruise control ECU connector.
(3) Shift the shift lever to N position or neutral.
(4) Jack up a front wheel on one side.
(5) Turn ignition switch on. Drive the vehicle and check if the operation of the speedometer in the combination meter is
normal.
The No. 1 vehicle speed sensor is operating normally if the speedometer display is normal.
Check voltage between terminal SPD of engine control module
connector and body ground.
Check speedometer circuit. See combination
meter troubleshooting on page BE±66.
Check speedometer circuit. See combination
meter troubleshooting on page BE±66.
Check operation of speedometer.
Check and replace engine control module.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Measure voltage between terminal SPD of
engine control module connector and body
ground when the wheel is turned slowly.
Voltage is generated intermittently.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the engine is cranked, the intake air flow is slow, so fuel vaporization is poor. A rich mixture
is therefore necessary in order to achieve good startability. While the engine is being cranked, the
battery positive voltage is applied to terminal STA of the ECM. The starter signal is mainly used to
increase the fuel injection volume for the starting injection control and after±start injection control.
DIAGNOSTIC CHART
HINT: This diagnostic chart is based on the premise that the engine is cranked normally. If the
engine is not cranked, proceed to the matrix chart of problem symptoms on page EG1±327, w
Open or short in starter signal circuit.
wOpen or short in ignition switch or starter
relay circuit.

Check for open in harness and connector
between ECM and relay.Proceed to next circuit inspection
shown on matrix chart (See page
E±G±327). Diagnostic Trouble Code Detecting Condition
Repair or replace harness or
connector.

Setting the test mode.
(1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
(2) Connect terminals TE2 and E1 of DLC2.
(3) Turn ignition switch ON.
(Don't start the engine)
(4) Connect terminals TE1 and E1 of DLC2.
Check for open in harness and connector between engine control
module and starter relay (See page IN±31). Check output condition of diagnostic trouble code 43.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on
matrix chart (See page EG1±327).
Check and replace engine control module.Repair or replace harness or connector.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Check if code ª43º is output by the malfunc-
tion indicator lamp.
Code ª43º is output.
Start the engine.
Check if the code ª43º disappear.
Code ª43º is not output.

If the ECM detects the above diagnosis conditions, it operates the fail safe function in which the
corrective retard angle value is set to the maximum value.
DIAGNOSIS TROUBLE CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN
Purpose of the driving pattern.
(a) To simulate diagnostic trouble code detecting condition after diagnostic trouble code is
recorded.
(b) To check that the malfunction is corrected when the repair is completed confirming that diag-
nostic trouble code is no longer detected.
Start engine and warm up.
After engine is warmed up, let it idle for 3 min.
With the A/C ON, perform quick racing (5,000 rpm) 3 times.
(Rapidly depress the accelerator pedal and suddenly release it.)
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the malfunction indicator lamp will light up when sudden
racing is performed.
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the mal-
function will not be possible.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Knock sensor is fitted the cylinder block to detect engine knocking. This sensor contains a piezoelec-
tric element which generates a voltage when it becomes deformed, which occurs when the cylinder
block vibrates due to knocking. If engine knocking occurs, ignition timing is retarded to suppress it.
w
Open or short in knock sensor circuit.
wKnock sensor (looseness)
wECM Open or short in knock sensor circuit with engine
speed between 1,200 rpm and 6,000 rpm.
