2000 TOYOTA CAMRY ignition

ECM DATA MONITOR USING TOYOTA
HAND±HELD TESTER
1. Hook up the TOYOTA hand±held tester to the D LC2.
2. Monitor the ECM data by following the prompts on the
tester screen.
HINT: TOYOTA hand±held tester has a ªSnapshotº
function which records the monitored data.
Please refer to the TOYOTA hand±held tester operator's
manual for further details.
ECM TERMINAL VALUES MEASUREMENT
USING TOYOTA BREAK±OUT±BOX AND
TOYOTA HAND±HELD TESTER
1. Hook up the TOYOTA break±out±box and TOYOTA
hand±held tester to the vehicle.
2. Read the ECM input/output values by following the
prompts on the tester screen.
HINT: TOYOTA hand±held tester has ªSnapshotº func±
tion. This records the measured values and is effective in
the diagnosis of intermittent problems.
Please refer to the TOYOTA hand±held tester/Toyota
break±out±box operator's manual for further details.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CLEARANCE
1. After repair of the trouble areas, the diagnostic trouble
code retained in the ECM memory must be cleared out by
removing the E F I fuse (15A) from J/13 No. 2 for 10 seconds or
more, with the ignition switch OFF.
HINT:
wCancellation can also be done by removing the battery
negative (±) terminal, but in this case, other memory
systems (clock, etc.) will also be cancelled out.
wIf it is necessary to work on engine components requir±
ing removal of the battery terminal, a check must first
be made to see if a diagnostic trouble code has been
recorded.
2. After cancellation, road test the vehicle to check that a
normal code is now read on the malfunction indicator
lamp.
If the same diagnostic trouble code appears, it indicates
that the trouble area has not been repaired thoroughly.

*5: This indicates items for which ª2 trip detection logicº is used. With this logic, when a logic malfunction is first detected, the
malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM memory. If the same case is detected again during the second drive test, this
second detection causes the Malfunction Indicator Lamp to light up.
The 2 trip repeats the same mode a 2nd time. (However, the IG switch must be turned OFF between the 1st trip and 2nd
trip),

Back±Up Function
If there is trouble with the program in the ECM and the ignition signals (IGT) are not output from
microcomputer the ECM controls fuel injection and ignition timing at predetermined levels as a back±up
function to make it possible to continue to operate the vehicle.
Furthermore, the injection duration is calculated from the starting signal (STA) and the throttle position
signal (IDL). Also, the ignition timing is fixed at the initial ignition timing, 5
BTDC, without relation to
the engine speed.
HINT: If the engine is controlled by the back±up function, the malfunction indicator lamp lights up to
warn the driver of the malfunction but the diagnostic trouble code is not output.

SET TEST MODE
1. With the ignition switch off, using SST, connect the ter±
minals TE2 and E1 of the data link connector 1 and 2.
SST 09843±18020
2. Start the engine and check to see the malfunction indica±
tor lamp to go off.
PERFORM A SIMULATION TEST
Using the symptom simulation (See page IN ±24), apply vibra±
tion to and pull lightly on the wire harness, connector or
terminals in the circuit indicated by the malfunction code.
In this test, if the malfunction indicator lamp light up, it indi±
cates that the place where the wire harness, connector or
terminals being pulled or vibrated has faulty contact. Check
that point for loose connections, dirt on the terminals, poor fit
or other problems and repair as necessary.
HINT: After cancelling out the diagnostic trouble code in
memory and set the test mode, if the malfunction indicator
lamp does not go off after the engine is started, check thor±
oughly for faulty contact, etc., then try the check again. If the
malfunction indicator lamp still does not go off, check and
replace ECM.
CHECK FOR MOMENTARY
INTERRUPTION
As described in the preceding paragraph, abnormality detec±
tion ability in the test mode is increased compared to that in
the normal mode, so that when momentary interruptions or
momentary shorts occur in the ECM signal circuits (G, NE,
THW, THA, PIM, VTA) shown in the table below, the appro±
priate diagnostic trouble code is output.
Accordingly, when the diagnostic trouble codes shown in the
table below (13, 22, 24, 31, 41) are output during the diag±
nostic trouble code check, and inspection of the appropriate
circuits reveals no abnormality, perform the check for momen±
tary interruption as described below.
By performing the check for momentary interruption, the
place where momentary interruptions or momentary shorts are
occurring due to poor contacts can be isolated.
