ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE
ASSY
(a) Check the operation.
(1) Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) Start the engine and allow it to warm up.
(4) Connect the hand-held tester, then select VVT from
the ACTIVE TEST menu.
(5) Check the engine speed when the OCV is operated
with the hand-held tester.
Standard:
Tester OperationSpecified Condition
OCV is OFFNormal engine speed
OCV is ONRough idle or engine stall
If the operation is not as specified, inspect the camshaft timing
oil control valve (see page 10-2).
2. INSPECT THROTTLE BODY ASSY
(a) Check the operation (throttle control motor).
(1) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(2) When turning the accelerator pedal position sensor
lever, check the running sound of the motor. Also,
check that there is no friction sound.
If the operation is not as specified, inspect the throttle body (see
page 10-2).
(b) Check the operation (throttle position sensor).
(1) Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) Check that the check engine warning light does not
light up.
(4) Check that the throttle valve opening percentage
(THROTTLE POS) of CURRENT DATA showns the
standard value.
Standard throttle valve opening percentage:
60 % or more
NOTICE:
When checking the standard throttle valve opening per-
centage, the transmission is in the neutral position.
3. INSPECT ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR
(a) Inspect the voltage.
(1) After turning the ignition switch ON, check CURRENT DATA, then verify that the throttle position
sensor voltage is within the standard value.
Standard voltage: 0.6 to 1.0 V
If the voltage is not as specified, inspect the accelerator pedal (see page 10-2).
