(e) Check the vacuum at idle.
Vacuum:
Maintain at 0.368 ± 19.713 in. Hg (5 ± 268 in.Aq) for
over 5 seconds
HINT:
If the vacuum does not change, you can conclude that the hose
connecting the VSV to the service port has come loose or is
blocked, or the VSV is malfunctioning.
(f) If you have TOYOTA hand±held tester:
Conclude forced driving of the VSV for the EVAP.
(1) Stop the engine.
(2) Disconnect the TOYOTA hand±held tester from the
DLC3.
(g) If you have no TOYOTA hand±held tester:
Conclude forced driving of the VSV for the EVAP.
(1) Stop the engine.
(2) Disconnect the positive (+) and negative (±) leads
from the battery, and from the VSV terminals for the
EVAP.
(3) Connect the VSV connector for the EVAP.
(h) Disconnect the vacuum gauge from the EVAP service
port on the purge line.
(i) Connect a pressure gauge to the EVAP service port on
the purge line.
(j) Check the pressure.
(1) Close off the air drain hose at the marked position
of the canister with a hose clipper or similar instru-
ment.
(2) Add the pressure (13.5 ± 15.5 in.Aq) from the EVAP
service port.
Pressure:
2 minutes after the pressure is added, the gauge
should be over 7.7 ± 8.8 in.Aq.
HINT:
If you can't add pressure, you can conclude that the hose con-
necting the VSV±canister±fuel tank has slipped off or the VSV
is open.

PRECAUTION
1. BEFORE WORKING ON THE FUEL SYSTEM , DIS-
CONNECT THE NEGATIVE (±) TERMINAL CABLE
FROM THE BATTERY AND HV BATTERY SERVICE
PLUG
HINT:
Any diagnostic trouble code retained by the computer will be
erased when the negative (±) terminal cable is removed from
the battery. Therefore, if necessary, read the diagnosis before
removing the negative (±) terminal cable from the battery.
2. DO NOT SMOKE OR WORK NEAR AN OPEN FLAME
WHEN WORKING ON THE FUEL SYSTEM
3. KEEP GASOLINE AWAY FROM RUBBER OR
LEATHER PARTS
4. MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
(a) In event of engine misfire, these precautions should be
taken.
(1) Check proper connection to battery terminals, etc.
(2) After repair work, check that the ignition coil termi-
nals and all other ignition system lines are recon-
nected securely.
(3) When cleaning the engine compartment, be espe-
cially careful to protect the electrical system from
water.
(b) Precautions when handling oxygen sensor.
(1) Do not allow oxygen sensor to drop or hit against an
object.
(2) Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with
water.
If vehicle is Equipped with Mobile Radio System (HAM, CB,
etc.)
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system,
refer to the precaution in the IN section.
5. AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
(a) Separation of the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, PCV
hose, etc. may cause the engine to run out of turn.
(b) Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder
head will allow air suction and cause the engine to run out
of turn.
6. ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
(a) Before removing SFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc.,
first disconnect the power by either turning the ignition
switch to LOCK or disconnecting the negative (±) terminal
cable from the battery.
HINT:
Always check the diagnostic trouble code before disconnecting
the negative (±) terminal cable from the battery.

(b) When installing the battery, be especially careful not to in-
correctly connect the positive (+) and negative (±) cables.
(c) Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during re-
moval or installation. Handle all SFI parts carefully, espe-
cially the ECM.
(d) Be careful during troubleshooting as there are numerous
transistor circuit, and even slight terminal contact can
cause further troubles.
(e) Do not open the ECM cover.
(f) When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to pre-
vent entry of water. Also, when washing the engine
compartment, prevent water from getting on the SFI parts
and wiring connectors.
(g) Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
(h) Care should be taken when pulling out and inserting wir-
ing connectors.
(1) Release the lock and pull out the connector, pulling
on the connectors.
(2) Fully insert the connector and check that it is locked.
(i) Use SST for inspection or test of the injector or its wiring
connector.

7. FUEL SYSTEM
(a) When disconnecting the high fuel pressure line, a large
amount of gasoline will spill out, so observe these proce-
dures.
(1) Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
(2) Start the engine. After the engine has stopped on
its own, turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
(3) Disconnect the fuel tube from the fuel tank.
(4) Drain the fuel remained inside the fuel tube.
(5) Prevent the disconnected fuel tube from damaging
and mixing foreign objects by covering them with a
vinyl bag.
