DTC P0451 Evaporative Emission Control System Pres-
sure Sensor Range/Performance
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The vapor pressure sensor, VSV for canister closed valve (CCV) and VSV for pressure switching valve are
used to detect abnormalities in the evaporative emission control system.
The ECM decides whether there is an abnormality in the evaporative emission control system based on the
vapor pressure sensor signal.
DTC P0450 or P0451 is recorded by the ECM when the vapor pressure sensor malfunction.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTC P0441, P0446, P0450 or P0451 is output after DTC P0440 or P0442, first trouble shoot DTC
P0441, P0446 P0450 or P0451. If no malfunction is detected, troubleshoot DTC P0440 or P0442 next.
Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame
records the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for
determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel
ratio was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
When the ENGINE RUN TIME in the freeze frame data is less than 200 seconds, carefully check the
VSV for EVAP, charcoal canister and vapor pressure sensor.

DI-74, step 9).

DTC P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This sensor is mounted in the combination meter. It contains a magnet which is rotated by the speedometer
cable.
Turning the reed switch ON and OFF 4 times for every revolution of the speedometer.
It is then transmitted to the Engine ECM. The Engine ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the fre-
quency of these pulse signals.

Open or short in A/F sensor circuit (2 trip detection logic)
HINT:
After confirming DTC P1130, use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to confirm voltage
output of A/F sensor (AFS B1 S1/O2S B1 S1) from the CURRENT DATA.
The A/F sensor's output voltage and the short-term fuel trim value can be read using the OBD II scan
tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester.
The ECM controls the voltage of the AFR+, AFL+, AFR- and AFL- terminals of the ECM to the fixed
voltage. Therefore, it is impossible to confirm the A/F sensor output voltage without the OBDII scan
tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester.
OBD II scan tool (excluding TOYOTA hand-held tester) displays the one fifth of the A/F sensor output
voltage which is displayed on the TOYOTA hand-held tester.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
(a) Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Switch the TOYOTA hand-held tester from the normal mode to the check mode (See page DI-3).
(c) Start the engine and warm it up with all the accessory switches OFF.
(d) Drive the vehicle at 60 - 120 km/h (38 - 75 mph) and engine speed at 1,400 - 3,200 rpm for 3 - 5 min.
HINT:
If a malfunction exists, the MIL will light up during step (d).
NOTICE:
If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction will not be possible.
If you do not have a TOYOTA hand-held tester, turn the ignition switch OFF after performing steps
(c) and (d), then perform steps (c) and (d) again.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTC P1130 is displayed, check Bank 1 Sensor 1 circuit.
If DTC P1150 is displayed, check Bank 2 Sensor 1 circuit.
Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame

2 Check output voltage of A/F sensor.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Warm up the A/F sensor with the engine speed at 2,500 rpm for approx. 90 sec.
CHECK:
Read the voltage value of the A/F sensor on the screen of OBDII scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester
when you perform all the following conditions.
HINT:
The voltage of the AFR+ or AFL+ terminal of the ECM is fixed at 3.3 V and the voltage of the AFR- or AFL-
terminal is fixed at 3.0 V. Therefore, it is impossible to check the A/F sensor output voltage at the terminals
(AFR+, AFL+/AFR-, AFL-) of the ECM.
OK:

Engine idling
Engine racingNot remains at 3.30 V (0.660 V*)
Not remains at38V(076V*) or moreDriving at engine speed 1,500 rpm or more and vehicle
speed 40 km/h (25 mph) or more, and operate throttle valve
open and closeNot remains at 3.8 V (0.76 V*) or more
Not remains at 2.8 V (0.56 V*) or less
*: When you use OBD II scan tool (excluding TOYOTA hand-held tester)
HINT:
During fuel enrichment, there is a case that the output voltage of the A/F sensor is below 2.8 V (0.56
V*), it is normal.
During fuel cut, there is a case that the output voltage of the A/F sensor is above 3.8 V (0.76 V*), it
is normally.
If the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at 3.30 V (0.660 V*) even after performing all the above
conditions, the A/F sensor circuit may be open.
If the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at 3.8 V (0.76 V*) or more, or 2.8 V (0.56 V*) or less
even after performing all the above conditions, the A/F sensor circuit may be short.
*: When you use the OBD II scan tool (excluding TOYOTA hand-held tester).
