INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If the vehicle run out of fuel, the air±fuel ratio is LEAN and DTC P0125 will be recorded .
The MIL then comes on.

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.

There is a possibility that P0125 is detected because of abnormal fuel system, so, when P0125 is mem-
orized, check P0171 and P0172 even if P0171 and P0172 are memorized.
1 Are there any other codes (besides DTC P0125) being output ?
YES Go to relevant DTC chart.
NO
2 Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester and read value for
voltage output of oxygen sensor (bank 1 sensor 1).
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Warm up engine to normal operating temp (above 75°C).
CHECK:
Read voltage output of the oxygen sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) when engine is suddenly raced.
HINT:
Perform quick racing to 4,000 rpm 3 times using accelerator pedal.
OK:
Both oxygen sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) output a RICH signal (0.45 V or more) at least once.
OK Go to step 9.
NG
3 Check for open and short in harness and connector between ECM and oxygen
sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) (See page IN±41).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.
OK

4 Check whether misfire is occurred or not by monitoring DTC and data list.
NG Perform troubleshooting for misfire (See page
DI±65).
OK
5 Check air induction system (See page SF±1).
NG Repair or replace induction system.
OK
6 Check fuel pressure (See page SF±6).
NG Check and repair fuel pump and fuel pipe line
(See page SF±1).
OK
7 Check injector injection (See page SF±12).
NG Replace injector.
OK
8 Check gas leakade on exhaust system.
NG Repair or replace.

10 Is there DTC P0125 being output again?
YES Check and replace ECM.
NO
11 Did vehicle runs out of fuel in the past?
NO Check for intermittent problems
(See page DI±3).
YES
DTC P0125 is caused by running out of fuel.

DTC P0130 Oxygen Sensor Circuit Malfunction
(Bank 1 Sensor 1)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0125 on page DI±44.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
P0130
Voltage output of oxygen sensor remains at 0.42 V or more, or
0.48 V or less, during idling after the engine is warmed up (2
trip detection logic)

Open or short in heated oxygen sensor circuit

Heated oxygen sensor

Air induction system

Fuel pressure

HINT:
Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closer to the engine body.
The oxygen sensor's output voltage and the short-term fuel trim value can be read using the OBD II scan
tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester.
WIRING DIAGRAM
Refer to DTC P0125 on page DI±44.
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
(a) Connect the TOYOTA hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Switch the TOYOTA hand±held tester from normal mode to check mode (See page DI±3).
(c) Start the engine and pass for 30 sec. or more.
(d) Drive the vehicle at constant speed for 36 sec. or more.
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) to (d), then perform steps (c) to (d) again.

2 Check the output voltage of oxygen sensor during idling.
PREPARATION:
Warm up the oxygen sensor the engine at 2,500 rpm for approx. 90 sec.
CHECK:
Use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester read the output voltage of the oxygen sensor during
idling.
OK:
Oxygen sensor output voltage:
Alternates repeatedly between less than 0.42 V and more than 0.48 V (See the Following table).
