ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. BASIC INSPECTION
(a) RESISTANCE MEASURING CONDITION OF ELECTRONIC PARTS (1) Unless stated, all resistance is measured at an ambient temperature of 20 C (68 F). As the re-
sistance may be outside the specifications if measured at high temperatures imme\
diately after
the vehicle has been running, measurements should be made when the engine h\
as cooled
down.
(b) HANDLING OF CONNECTOR(1) When removing the connector with lock, press the
connector in the direction of the engagement and
remove the lock by lightly pressing the lock claw.
(2) When removing the connector, do not hold the har- ness, but hold the connector.
(3) Before connecting the connector, check that there is no deformation, damage or missing terminals.
(4) The connector with a lock should be securely con- nected until it makes a ºclickº sound.
(5) When checking the connector with a Toyota electri- cal tester, check it from the backside (harness side)
of the connector using a mini test lead.
NOTICE:

As a water proof connector cannot be checked from
the backside, check by connecting the sub±harness.

Do not damage the terminals by moving the inserted
tester needle.
(c) CONNECTOR CHECKING POINTS
(1) Checking when the connector is connected:By holding the connector, check the inserted condi-
tion and locking efficiency (engaged condition).
(2) Checking when the connector is removed: Check by lightly pulling the wire harness (missing
terminal, terminal crimping condition, core wire
break).
Check visually for any rust, metal particles, water
and bent terminals (rust, mixing of foreign object,
terminal deformation).
NOTICE:
When testing a gold±plated female terminal, always use a
gold±plated male terminal.

4. CHECK AND REPLACE ECU
NOTICE:

Start an inspection of the connector from the back-
side of the connector on the wire harness side with
the connector connected to the ECU.

When no measurement condition is specified, per-
form the inspection with the engine stopped and also
the ignition switch ON.
(a) First check the ECU ground circuit. If it is faulty, repair it. If it is normal, the ECU could be faulty. In this case, re-
place the ECU with one that functions normally and check
if the symptoms appear.
(1) Measure the resistance between the ECU groundterminal and body ground.
Resistance: 1
or less
(2) Disconnect the ECU connector, check the ground terminals on the ECU side and wire harness side for
bends and check the contact pressure.

SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
HINT:

The diagnostic system in AVENSIS has various functions. The first function is the Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) Check, in which a malfunction in the signal circuits to the ECU is stored in code form in
the ECU memory. Another function is the Input Signal Check, which checks if the signals from various
switches are sent to the ECU correctly. By using these check functions, it is possible to quickly narrow
down potential problem areas and troubleshooting can be performed effectively. The diagnostic func-
tions are incorporated in the following systems in the AVENSIS.

In the DTC check, it is very important to determine whether the problem indicated by the DTC is still
occurring or has occurred in the past but returned to normal at present. In addit\
ion during the problem
symptom check, it a check must be made on whether the malfunction indicated by \
the DTC is directly
related to the problem symptom or not. For this reason, the DTC should be checked before and after
symptom confirmation to determine the current conditions. If this is not done, \
it may, depending on the
case, result in unnecessary troubleshooting for systems that are operati\
ng normally. This would make
more difficult to detect the problem area or to try to repair irrelevant areas. \
Therefore, always follow
the procedures in the correct order and perform the DTC check.

A flow chart showing how to proceed with troubleshooting using the diagnostic trouble\
code (DTC)
check is shown the this page. This flow chart shows how to utilize the DTC check effectively. Then,
by carefully checking the results, this chart indicates how to proceed either to the DTC troubleshooting
or to the troubleshooting of the problem symptoms table.

SYMPTOM SIMULATION
HINT:
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when no symptoms occurs. In such cases\
, a thorough customer
problem analysis must be carried out. Then the same or similar conditions and e\
nvironment in which the
problem occurred in the customer's vehicle should be simulated. No matter how much experience a techni-
cian has, or how skilled he may be, if he proceeds to troubleshoot without c\
onfirming the problem symptoms,
he will tend to overlook something important in the repair operation and make a wrong guess somewhere,
which will only lead to a standstill. For example, for a problem which only o\
ccurs when the engine is cold,
or for a problem which occurs due to vibration caused by the road during d\
riving, etc., the problem can never
be determined when the engine is hot or when the vehicles is at a standsti\
ll. Since vibration, heat or water
penetration (moisture) is a likely cause for the problem which is difficult to reproduce, the symptom simulation
tests introduced here are effective measures in a point that the external causes are applied to the vehicle
in a stationary condition.
Important points in the symptom simulation test:
In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms should be confirmed, \
and the problem area or parts
must also be discovered. To do so, reduce the possible problem circuits according to the symptoms before
starting this type of test and have the hand±held tester connected beforehand\
. After that, carry out the symp-
tom simulation test, judging whether the circuit being tested is defective \
or normal and also confirming the
problem symptoms at the same time. Refer to the problem symptoms table of each system to narrow down
the possible causes of the symptom.
1. VIBRATION METHOD: When vibration seems to be
the major cause.
(a) PART AND SENSOR
(1) Apply slight vibration with your finger to the part ofthe sensor considered to be the problem cause and
check whether the malfunction occurs.
HINT:
Applying strong vibration to relays may result in open relays.
(b) CONNECTORS (1) Slightly shake the connector vertically and horizon-tally.
(c) WIRE HARNESS
(1) Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and hori-zontally.
The connector joint and fulcrum of the vibration are
the major areas that should be checked thoroughly.
2. HEAT METHOD: If the problem seems to occur when the area in question is heated.
(a) Heat the component that is the possible cause of the mal- function with a hair dryer or similar object. Check if the
malfunction occurs.
NOTICE:

Do not heat the components to more than 60 C
(140 F) (Temperature is limited to keep the compo-
nents from being damaged).

Do not apply heat directly to the parts in the ECU.
3. WATER SPRINKLING METHOD: When the malfunc- tion seems to occur on a rainy day or in high±humid-
ity.
(a) Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check if the malfunc- tion occurs.
NOTICE:

Never sprinkle water directly onto the engine
compartment, but indirectly change the temperature
and humidity by spraying a mist of water onto the ra-
diator front surface.

Never apply water directly onto the electronic compo-
nents.
HINT:
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaking water may
contaminate the ECU. When testing a vehicle with a water leak-
age problem, this factor must also be considered.
4. OTHERS: If the malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is excessive.
(a) Turn on all the electrical equipment including the heater blower, headlights, rear window defogger, etc., and check
if the malfunction occurs.

sure to initialize the system.
(b) HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC PARTS (1) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU unlessabsolutely necessary (If the IC terminals are
touched, the IC may be rendered inoperative by
static electricity).
(2) To disconnect electronic connectors, pull the con- nector itself, not the wires.
(3) Be careful not to drop electronic components, such as sensors or relays. If they are dropped on a hard
floor, they should be replaced and not be reused.
(4) When cleaning the engine with steam, protect the electronic components, air filter and emission±re-
lated components from water.
(5) Never use an impact wrench to remove or install temperature switches or temperature sensors.
(6) When checking the continuity at the wire connector, insert the tester probe carefully to prevent terminals
from bending.
