DTC P0450 Evaporative Emission Control System Pres-
sure Sensor Malfunction
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.
1 Check voltage between terminals VC and E2 of ECM connector (See page
DI-74, step 9).
NG Check and replace ECM (See page IN-30).
OK
2 Check voltage between terminals PTNK and E2 of ECM connectors (See page
DI-74, step 10).
OK Check and replace ECM (See page IN-30).
NG
3 Check for open and short in harness and connector between vapor pressure sen-
sor
and ECM (See page IN-30).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.
OK
Replace vapor pressure sensor.

DTC P1130 A/F Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Mal-

function (Bank 2 Sensor 1)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0125 on page DI-43.

Voltage output* of A/F sensor remains at 3.8 V or more, or 2.8

ECM
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.
