Fuel Pump Control Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
In the diagram below, when the engine is cranked, current flows from terminal ST of the ignition switch to
the starter relay (Marking: ST) coil and also current flows to terminal STA of ECM (STA signal).
When the STA signal and NE signal are input to the ECM, Tr is turned ON, current flows to coil of the circuit
opening relay (Marking: C/OPN), the relay switches on, power is supplied to the fuel pump and the fuel pump
operates.
While the NE signal is generated (engine running), the ECM keeps Tr ON (circuit opening relay ON) and the
fuel pump also keeps operating.

IACV Control Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This circuit opens and closes the IACV (Intake Air Control Valve) in response to the engine load in order to
increase the intake efficiency (ACIS: Acoustic Control Induction System).
When the engine speed is 3,700 rpm or less and the throttle valve opening angle is 30° or more, the ECM
turns the two VSV ON or OFF and operate the IACV.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
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.
1 Connect OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester, and read value of mass
air flow rate.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester main switch
ON.
(c) Start the engine.
CHECK:
Read the mass air flow rate on the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester.
RESULT:
Type IType II
Mass Air Flow Rate (gm/sec.)0.0271.0 or more

DTC P0115 Engine Coolant Temp. Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A thermistor built into the engine coolant temperature sensor changes the resistance value according to the
engine coolant temperature.
The structure of the sensor and connection to the ECM is the same as in the intake air temperature circuit
malfunction shown on page DI-28.
If the ECM detects the DTC P0115, it operates the fail-safe function in which the engine coolant temperature
is assumed to be 80°C (176°C).

DTC P0120 Throttle/Pedal position Sensor/Switch ºAº
Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The throttle position sensor is mounted in the throttle body and
detects the throttle valve opening angle. When the throttle valve
is fully closed, a voltage of approximately 0.7 V is applied to ter-
minal VTA of the ECM. The voltage applied to terminals VTA of
the ECM increases in proportion to the opening angle of the
throttle valve and becomes approximately 2.7 - 5.2 V when the
throttle valve is fully opened. The ECM judges the vehicle driv-
ing conditions from these signals input from terminals VTA and
uses them as one of the conditions for deciding the air-fuel ratio
correction, power increase correction and fuel-cut control etc.
