7. HYDRAULIC TEST
Measure the line pressure.
NOTICE:
Do the test at normal operation fluid temperature 50 - 80 °C (122 - 176 °F).
The line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One technician should observe
the conditions of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is doing the test.
Be careful to prevent SST's hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
(1) Warm up the ATF.
(2) Remove the test plug on the transaxle case front left side and connect SST (See page AX-33
for the location to connect SST).
SST 09992-00095 (09992-00231, 09992-00271)
(3) Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
(4) Connect an OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to DLC3.
(5) Start the engine and check idling speed.
(6) Keep your left foot pressing firmly on the brake pedal and shift into D position.
(7) Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
(8) Depress the accelerator pedal all the way down. Quickly read the highest line pressure when
engine speed reaches stall speed.
(9) In the same manner, do the test in R position.
Specified line pressure:
ConditionD position kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)R position kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
Idling401 - 461 (4.1 - 4.7, 58 - 66)804 - 882 (8.2 - 9.0, 117 - 128)
Stall1,138 - 1,236 (11.6 - 12.6, 165 - 179)1,716 - 1,854 (17.5 - 18.9, 249 - 269)
If the measured pressure is not up to the specified value, recheck the throttle cable adjustment and retest.

ECM Power Source Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, battery positive voltage is applied to terminal IGSW of the ECM and
the EFI main relay (Marking: EFI) control circuit in the ECM sends a signal to terminal MREL of the ECM
switching on the EFI main relay.
This signal causes current to flow to the coil, closing the contacts of the EFI main relay and supplying power
to terminal +B of the ECM.
If the ignition switch is turned off, the ECM continues to switch on the EFI main relay for a maximum of 2
seconds for the initial setting of the IAC valve.

Fuel Pump Control Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
In the diagram below, when the engine is cranked, current flows from terminal ST of the ignition switch to
the starter relay (Marking: ST) coil and also current flows to terminal STA of ECM (STA signal).
When the STA signal and NE signal are input to the ECM, Tr is turned ON, current flows to coil of the circuit
opening relay (Marking: C/OPN), the relay switches on, power is supplied to the fuel pump and the fuel pump
operates.
While the NE signal is generated (engine running), the ECM keeps Tr ON (circuit opening relay ON) and the
fuel pump also keeps operating.

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.

DTC P1325 Igniter Circuit Malfunction (No.6)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A Direct Ignition System (DIS) has been adopted. The DIS improves the ignition timing accuracy, reduces
high-voltage loss, and enhances the the overall reliability of the ignition system by eliminating the distributor.
The DIS is a 1-cylinder ignition system which ignites one cylinder with one ignition coil. In the 1-cylinder
ignition system, the one spark plug is connected to the end of the secondary winding. High voltage generated
in the secondary winding is applied directly to the spark plug. The spark of the spark plug pass from the center
elecrtode to the ground electrode.
The ECM determines ignition timing and outputs the ignition signals (IGT) for each cylinder. Based on IGT
signals, the power transistors in the igniter cuts off the current to the primary coil in the ignition coil is supplied
to the spark plug that are connected to the end of the secondary coil. At the same time, the igniter also sends
an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) as a fail-safe measure to the ECM.
