INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If DTC P1300 is displayed, check No.1 ignition coil with igniter circuit.

If DTC P1305 is displayed, check No.2 ignition coil with igniter circuit.

If DTC P1310 is displayed, check No.3 ignition coil with igniter circuit.

If DTC P1315 is displayed, check No.4 ignition coil with igniter 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 warmed up or not, the air±fuel
ratio lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.

Measure voltage between terminals IGT1 ± 4 of the ECM con-
nector and body ground when engine is cranked.
OK:
Voltage: More than 0.1 V and less than 4.5 V
Reference: INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE
During cranking or idling, check waveform between terminals
IGT1 ± 4 and E1 of the ECM connector.
HINT:
Correct waveform appears as sohwn, with rectangle waves.
NG Check and replace ECM (See page IN±41).
OK
6 Disconnect ignition coil with igniter connector and check voltage between termi-
nals IGT1 ± 4 of ECM connector and body ground.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the ECM with connector still connected (See
page SF±62).
(b) Disconnect the ignition coil with igniter connector.
CHECK:
Measure voltage between terminals IGT1 ± 4 of the ECM con-
nector and body ground when engine is cranked.

DTC P1349 VVT System Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
VVT system controls the intake valve timing to proper timing in response to driving condition.
ECM controls OCV (Oil Control Valve) to make the intake valve timing properly, and, oil pressure controlled
with OCV is supplied to the VVT controller, and then, VVT controller changes relative position between the
camshaft and the crankshaft.

P1349
Condition (a) or (b) continues for after the engine is
warmed up and engine speed at 400 ± 4,000 rpm :
(a) Valve timing does not change from of current valve timing
(b) Current valve timing is fixed.

2 Check operation of OCV.
PREPARATION:
(a) Start the engine and warmed it up.
(b) Connect the TOYOTA hand±held tester and select VVT from ACTIVE TEST menu.
CHECK:
Check the engine speed when operate the OCV by the TOYOTA hand±held tester.
OK:
VVT system OFF to ON (OCV OFF to ON):
Engine speed increases.
VVT system ON to OFF (OCV ON to OFF):
Engine is stalled.
HINT:
The change of engine speed lasts only few seconds.
OK VVT system is OK.*
*: DTC P1349 is also output after the foreign object is caught
in some part of the system in the engine oil and the system re-
turns to normal in a short time. As ECM controls so that foreign
objects are ejected, there is no problem about VVT. There is
also no problem since the oil filter should get the foreign object
in the engine oil.

3 Check voltage between terminals OCV+ and OCV± of ECM connector.
Reference: INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE
Turn the ignition switch ON, check waveform between terminals
OCV+ and OCV± of the ECM connector.
HINT:

The correct waveform is as shown.

The waveform frequency (A) is lengthened as the engine
speed becomes higher.
NG Check and replace ECM (See page IN±41).
