CHARGING
1. INSTALL CHARGING CYLINDER
HINT:
When handling the charging cylinder, always follow the direc-
tions given in the instruction manual.
(a) Charge the proper amount of refrigerant into the charging
cylinder.
(b) Connect the center hose to the charging cylinder.
CAUTION:
Do not open both high and low hand valves of manifold
gauge set.
(c) Open the valve of charging cylinder.
(d) Press the valve core on the side of manifold gauge and
expel the air inside of the center hose.
2. INSPECT REFRIGERATION SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
(a) Open the high pressure hand valve and charge refriger-
ant.
(b) When the low pressure gauge indicates 98 kPa
(1 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi) close the high pressure hand valve.
(c) Using a gas leak detector, check the system for leakage.
If leak is found, repair the faulty component or connection.
CAUTION:
Use the refrigerant recovery/ recycling machine to recover
the refrigerant whenever replacing parts.

(b) Apply soapy water to the O-ring.
(c) Connect the water inlet pipe to the water inlet.
(d) Install the bolt holding the water inlet pipe to the LH cylin-
der head.
Torque: 19.5 N´m (200 kgf´cm, 14 ft´lbf)
4. INSTALL ENGINE WIRE PROTECTOR
5. CONNECT NO.2 ECT SWITCH CONNECTOR

DTC P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temp. for Closed Loop
Fuel Control
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three-way cata-
lytic converter is used, but for the most efficient use of the three-way catalytic converter, the air-fuel ratio
must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.
The A/F sensor has the characteristic that provides output voltage* approximately proportional to the exist-
ing air-fuel ratio. The A/F sensor output voltage* is used to provide feedback for the ECM to control the air-
fuel ratio.
By the A/F sensor output, the ECM can determine the deviation amount from the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio
and control the proper injection time immediately. If the A/F sensor is malfunctioning, ECM is unable to per-
form accurate air-fuel ratio control.
The A/F sensor is equipped with a heater which heats the zirconia element. The heater is controlled by the
ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the temp. of the exhaust gas is low), current flows to the heater
to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.
*: The voltage value changes at the inside of the ECM only.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
P0125
After engine is warmed up, A/F sensor output* does not
change when conditions (a), (b), (c) and (d) continue for at
least 1.5 min:
*: Output value changes at inside of the ECM only
(a) Engine speed: 1,500 rpm or more
(b) Vehicle speed: 40 - 100 km/h (25 - 62 mph)
(c) Throttle valve is not fully closed
(d) 140 sec. or more after starting engine

HINT:

After confirming DTC P0125, use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to confirm voltage
output of the A/F sensor (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) from the CURRENT DATA.

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.
