DTC P1520 Stop Light Switch Signal Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This signal is used to detect when the brakes have been applied. The STP signal voltage is the same as
the voltage supplied to the stop lights.
The STP signal is used mainly to control the fuel cut-off engine speed (The fuel cut-off engine speed is re-
duced slightly when the vehicle is braking.).

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 Check operation of stop light.
CHECK:
Check if the stop lights go on and off normally when the brake pedal is operated and released.
NG Check and repair stop light circuit.

TOYOTA hand-held tester:
1 Check OCV circuit.
PREPARATION:
(a) Start the engine and warmed it up.
(b) Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester and select the VVT from the ACTIVE TEST menu.
CHECK:
Check the engine speed when operate the OCV by the TOYOTA hand-held tester.
OK:
VVT system is OFF (OCV is OFF): Normal engine speed
VVT system is ON (OCV is ON): Rough idle or engine stalled
OK Check for intermittent problems

DTC P1780 Park/Neutral Position Switch Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The park/neutral position switch go on when the shift lever is in the N or P shift position. When it goes on,
terminal NSW of the ECM is grounded to body ground via the starter relay, thus the terminal NSW voltage
becomes 0V. When the shift lever is in the D, 2, L or R position, the park/neutral position switch goes off,
so the voltage of ECM. Terminal NSW becomes battery voltage, the voltage of the ECM internal power
source. If the shift lever is moved from the N position to the D position, this signal is used for air-fuel ratio
correction and for idle speed control (estimated control), etc.

HINT:
When the DTC P0171 or P0174 is recorded, the actual air-fuel ratio is on the lean side. When DTC
P0172 or P0175 is recorded, the actual air-fuel ratio is on the rich side.
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the air-fuel ratio is lean and DTC P0171 or P0174 is recorded. The MIL
then comes on.
If the total of the short-term fuel trim value and the long-term fuel trim value is within + 35 % (80°C
(176°F) or more), the system is functioning normally.
The A/F sensors (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) output voltage and the short-term fuel trim value can be read
using the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester.
The ECM controls the voltage of AFR+, AFL+, AFR- and AFL- terminals of ECM to the fixed voltage.
Therefore, it is impossible to confirm the A/F sensor output voltage without OBD II scan tool or hand-
held tester.
OBD II scan tool (excluding hand-held tester) displays the one fifth of the A/F sensors (bank 1, 2 sen-
sor 1) output voltage which is displayed on the hand-held tester.

Starter Signal Circuit
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 volt-
age 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.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
This diagnostic chart is based on the premise that the engine is cranked normally. If the engine is not
cranked, proceed to the problem symptoms table on page DI-22.
