connector wire (See page EM±11).
(f) Transit to inspection mode.
CHECK:
Check ignition timing.
OK:
Ignition timing: 7 ± 15° BTDC at idle
NG Proceed to page IG±1 and continue to trouble-
shoot.
OK
Proceed to problem symptoms table on page

6 Check fuel pressure.
PREPARATION:
(a) Be sure that enough fuel is in the tank.
(b) Connect the TOYOTA hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the TOYOTA hand±
held tester main switch ON.

(e) Please refer to the TOYOTA hand±held tester operator's
manual for further details.
(f) If you have no TOYOTA hand±held tester, connect the
positive (+) and negative (±) leads from the battery to the
fuel pump connector (See page SF±6).
CHECK:
Check for fuel pressure in the fuel inlet hose when it is pinched
off.
HINT:
At this time, you will hear a fuel flowing noise.

7 Check for spark.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the ignition coil (See page IG±5).
(b) Remove the spark plug.
(c) Install the spark plug to ignition coil and connect the ignition coil connector to ignition coil.
(d) Disconnect the injector connector.
(e) Be sure to ground the screw of the spark plug securely.
CHECK:
Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
NOTICE:
Do not crash the electrode gap.
To prevent excess fuel being injected from the injectors during this test, don't crank the engine
for more than 5 ± 10 seconds at a time.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
HINT:
Parameters listed in the chart may not be exactly the same as your reading due to the type of instru-
ment or other factors.
If a malfunction code is displayed during the DTC check in check mode, check the circuit for that code
listed in the table below. For details of each code, turn to the page referred to under the ''See page
'' for the respective ''DTC No.'' in the DTC chart.
When the ignition switch is ON and ºREADYº indicator light is OFF, the bulb check of the ºMILº is per-
formed (ºMILº is ON).
When ºMILº is ON, but the DTC of the engine is not memorized, it may be because of HV control system
abnormality, so check HV control system beforehand.
