PRE-CHECK
1. THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM
When the system is set to the theft deterrent mode and any of
the following conditions are met, the system sounds the horns
and flashes the headlights and the taillights for approx. 1 min-
ute.
At the same time the system locks all doors (If all door are not
locked at once, the system repeats door locking operation ev-
ery 6.38 seconds during the one minute alarm time).
There are 2 modes in this system, which are active mode and
passive mode.
All initial setting are performed in active mode. It can be
switched to passive mode by specified operation. (See step 4.
CHANGING METHOD OF PASSIVE MODE)
Condition:
Any of the doors (Including the engine hood and luggage
compartment door) is unlocked or opened without the
key. *1
The battery terminal is disconnected and reconnected.
The system receives panic signal from remote keyless
entry. *2
*1: Only active arming mode.
*2: When the ignition key is not inserted in the key cylinder.
There are 4 conditions in this system which are disarming
condition, disarming preparation condition, arming condition
and alarming condition.
(a) Disarming condition:
(1) When a user is near the vehicle.
(2) When the alarming function does not operate.
(3) When theft deterrent function is not performed.
(b) Disarming preparation condition:
(1) Time from a user locks a door to be leaves the ve-
hicle.
(2) Time until transferring to disarming condition.
(3) Theft deterrent function is not performed.
(c) Arming condition:
(1) When a user leaves the vehicle completely.
(2) When theft deterrent function is possible.

INSPECTION
1. VISUALLY INSPECT LINES AND CONNECTORS
Visually check for loose connections, sharp bends or damage.
2. VISUALLY INSPECT FUEL TANK FILLER PIPE
Visually check for deformation, cracks or fuel leakage.
3. INSPECT FUEL TANK CAP
Visually check if the cap and/or gasket are deformed or dam-
aged.
If necessary, repair or replace the cap.
4. INSPECT EVAP SYSTEM LINE
(a) Warm up the engine and stop the engine.
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
(b) Install a vacuum gauge (EVAP control system test equip-
ment vacuum gauge) to the EVAP service port on the
purge line.
(c) TOYOTA Hand-Held Tester:
Forced driving of the VSV for the EVAP.
(1) Connect a TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Start the engine.
(3) Push the TOYOTA hand-held tester main switch
ON.
(4) Use the ACTIVE TEST mode on the TOYOTA
hand-held tester to operate the VSV for the EVAP.
(d) If you have no TOYOTA Hand-Held Tester:
Forced driving of the VSV for the EVAP.
(1) Disconnect the VSV connector for the EVAP.
(2) Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) leads from
the battery to the VSV terminals for the EVAP.
(3) Start the engine.

(e) Check the vacuum at idle.
Vacuum:
Maintain at 0.368 - 19.713 in.Hg (5 - 268 in.Aq) for over
5 seconds
HINT:
If the vacuum does not change, you can conclude that the hose
connecting the VSV to the service port has come loose or is
blocked, or the VSV is malfunctioning.
(f) TOYOTA Hand-Held Tester:
Conclude forced driving of the VSV for the EVAP.
(1) Stop the engine.
(2) Disconnect the TOYOTA hand-held tester from the
DLC3.
(g) If you have no TOYOTA Hand-Held Tester:
Conclude forced driving of the VSV for the EVAP.
(1) Stop the engine.
(2) Disconnect the positive (+) and negative (-) leads
from the battery from the VSV terminals for the
EVAP.
(3) Connect the VSV connector for the EVAP.
(h) Disconnect the vacuum gauge from the EVAP service
port on the purge line.
(i) Connect a pressure gauge to the EVAP service port on
the purge line.
(j) Check the pressure.
(1) Close off the air drain hose at the marked position
of the canister with a hose clipper or similar instru-
ment.
(2) Add the pressure (13.5 - 15.5 in.Aq) from the EVAP
service port.
Pressure:
2 minutes after the pressure is added, the gauge
should be over 7.7 - 8.8 in.Aq.
HINT:
If you can't add pressure, you can conclude that the hose con-
necting the VSV
canister
fuel tank has slipped off or the
VSV is open.

CO/HC
INSPECTION
HINT:
This check is used only to determine whether or not the idle CO/
HC complies with regulations.
1. INITIAL CONDITIONS
(a) Engine at normal operating temperature
(b) Air cleaner installed
(c) All pipes and hoses of air induction system connected
(d) All accessories switched OFF
(e) All vacuum lines properly connected
(f) SFI system wiring connectors fully plugged
(g) Ignition timing check correctly
(h) Transmission in neutral position
(i) Tachometer and CO/HC meter calibrated by hand
2. START ENGINE
3. RACE ENGINE AT 2,500 RPM FOR APPROX. 180 SE-
CONDS
4. INSERT CO/HC METER TESTING PROBE AT LEAST
40 cm (1.3 ft) INTO TAILPIPE DURING IDLING
5. IMMEDIATELY CHECK CO/HC CONCENTRATION AT
IDLE AND/OR 2,500 RPM
HINT:
When doing the 2 mode (2,500 rpm and idle) test, follow the
measurement order prescribed by the applicable local regula-
tions.

COMPRESSION
INSPECTION
HINT:
If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel
economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. WARM UP AND STOP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2. REMOVE IGNITION COILS (See page IG-5)
3. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS
Using a 16 mm plug wrench, remove the 6 spark plugs.
4. CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE
(a) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
(b) Fully open the throttle.
(c) While cranking the engine, measure the compression
pressure.
HINT:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine speed of
250 rpm or more.
(d) Repeat steps (a) through (c) for each cylinder.
NOTICE:
This measurement must be done in as short a time as pos-
sible.
Compression pressure:
1,500 kPa (15.3 kgf/cm
2, 218 psi)
Minimum pressure:
1,000 kPa (10.2 kgf/cm
2, 145 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 15 psi) or less
(e) If the cylinder compression in 1 or more cylinders is low,
pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through
the spark plug hole and repeat steps (a) through (c) for
cylinders with low compression.

If adding oil helps the compression, it is likely that
the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn or
damaged.

If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating is improper, or there may be leakage past
the gasket.
5. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS
6. INSTALL IGNITION COILS (See page IG-5)
