DTC P0325 Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1)
DTC P0330 Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Each of knock sensor is fitted to the right bank and left bank of the cylinder block to detect engine knocking.
This sensor contains a piezoelectric 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.

DTC P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor ºAº Circuit Mal-
function
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Crankshaft position sensor (NE signal) consists of a magnet, iron core and pickup coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is installed the crankshaft timing pulley. The NE signal sensor gener-
ates 34 signals at every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the
G (VV) signal, and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Perform troubleshooting of DTC P0335 first. If no trouble is found, troubleshoot the following mechani-
cal systems.
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.

DTC P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunc-
tion
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Camshaft position sensor (G (VV) signal) consists of a magnet, iron core and pickup coil.
The G (VV) signal plate has 3 teeth, on its outer circumference and is installed the camshaft timing gear.
When the camshafts rotate, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pickup coil change,
causing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive force in the pickup coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is installed the crankshaft timing pulley. The NE signal sensor gener-
ates 34 signals at every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the
G (VV) signal and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTC P0441, P0446, P0450 or P0451 is output after DTC P0440 or P0442, first troubleshoot DTC
P0441, P0446, P0450 or P0451. If no malfunction is detected, troubleshoot DTC P0440 or P0442 next.
Ask the customer whether, after the MIL came on, the customer found the fuel tank cap loose and tight-
ened it. Also ask the customer whether the fuel tank cap was loose when refuelling. If the fuel tank cap
was loose, it was the cause of the DTC. If the fuel tank cap was not loose or if the customer was not
sure if it was loose, troubleshoot according to the following procedure.
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
vapor pressure sensor.

take air chamber and intake air bypassing the throttle valve is
directed to the IAC valve through a passage.
In this way the intake air volume bypassing the throttle valve is
regulated, controlling the engine speed.
The ECM operates only the IAC valve to perform idle-up and
provide feedback for the target idling speed.
