PRE-CHECK
1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) Check the indicator.
(1) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(2) Check that the CRUISE MAIN indicator light comes
ON when the cruise control main switch is turned
ON, and that the indicator light goes OFF when the
main switch is turned OFF.
HINT:
If the indicator check result is not normal, proceed to trouble-
shooting (See page BE-43) for the combination meter
section.
(b) Check the DTC.
HINT:
If a malfunction occurs in the No. 1 vehicle speed sensor or ac-
tuator, etc. during cruise control driving, the ECU actuates
AUTO CANCEL of the cruise control and turns on and off the
CRUISE MAIN indicator light to inform the driver of a malfunc-
tion. At the same time, the malfunction is stored in memory as
a DTC.
(c) Output of DTC using diagnosis check wire.
(1) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(2) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E
1 of DLC2.
SST 09843-18020
(3) Read the DTC on the CRUISE MAIN indicator light.

5. INPUT SIGNAL CHECK
HINT:
(1) For check No.1 ~ No.3:

tion and hold it down or up.
(b) Push the main switch ON.
(c) Check that the CRUISE MAIN indicator light blinks twice
or 3 times repeatedly after 3 seconds.
(d) Push the SET/COAST or RES/ACC switch OFF.
(e) Operate each switch as listed in the table below.
(f) Read the blinking pattern of the CRUISE MAIN indicator
light.
(g) After performing the check, turn the main switch OFF.

DTC P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
DTC P0304 Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
DTC P0305 Cylinder 5 Misfire Detected
DTC P0306 Cylinder 6 Misfire Detected
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Misfire: The ECM uses the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor to monitor changes in
the crankshaft rotation for each cylinder.
The ECM counts the number of times the engine speed change rate indicates that misfire has occurred.
When the misfire rate equals or exceeds the count indicating that the engine condition has deteriorated, the
MIL lights up.
If the misfire rate is high enough and the driving conditions will cause catalyst overheating, the MIL blinks
when misfiring occurs.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
(a) Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Switch the TOYOTA hand-held tester from the normal mode to the check mode (See page DI-3).
(c) Start the engine and warm it up with all the accessory switches OFF.
(d) Drive the vehicle at 60 - 120 km/h (38 - 75 mph) and engine speed at 1,400 - 3,200 rpm for 3 - 5 min.
HINT:
If a malfunction exists, the MIL will light up during step (d).
NOTICE:
If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction will not be possible.
If you do not have a TOYOTA hand-held tester, turn the ignition switch OFF after performing steps
(c) and (d), then perform steps (c) and (d) again.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If DTC P1130 is displayed, check Bank 1 Sensor 1 circuit.

If DTC P1150 is displayed, check Bank 2 Sensor 1 circuit.

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 Are there any other codes (besides DTC P1130, P1150) being output?
YES Go to relevant DTC chart (See page DI-14).

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.).
