Toyota Corolla Repair Manual: Inspection procedure
Hint
: read freeze frame data using the hand–held tester or the obd ii scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air–fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. At the time of the malfunction.
Hand–held tester
1 Perform active test by hand–held tester(operate ocv)
- Connect the hand–held tester to the dlc3.
- start the engine and warm it up.
- turn the ignition switch on and push the hand–held tester main switch on.
- select the item ”diagnosis / enhanced obd ii / active test / vvt ctrl b1”.
- check the engine speed when operating the oil control valve (ocv) by the hand–held tester.
Standard:
2 Inspect camshaft timing oil control valve assy(ocv)
3 Inspect ecm(ocv signal)
- Inspection using the oscilloscope.
- during idling, check the waveform between the terminals of the e3 ecm connector.
Standard:
4 Check harness and connector(camshaft timing oil control valve (ocv) – ecm)
- Disconnect the c2 camshaft timing oil control valve connector.
- disconnect the e3 ecm connector.
- check the resistance between the wire harness side connectors.
Standard (check for open):
Standard (check for short):
- Reconnect the camshaft timing oil control valve connector.
- reconnect the ecm connector.
Check for intermittent problems
Obdii scan tool (excluding hand–held tester):
1 Inspect camshaft timing oil control valve assy(operate ocv)
- Disconnect the c2 camshaft timing oil control valve connector.
- apply positive battery voltage between the terminals of the camshaft timing oil control valve.
- check the engine speed.
Standard
: engine speed is rough idle or engine is stalled.
- reconnect the camshaft timing oil control valve connector.
2 Inspect ecm(ocv signal)
- Inspection using the oscilloscope.
- during idling, check the waveform between the terminals of the e3 ecm connector.
Standard:
3 Check harness and connector(camshaft timing oil control valve (ocv) – ecm)
- Disconnect the c2 camshaft timing oil control valve connector.
- disconnect the e3 ecm connector.
- check the resistance between the wire harness side connectors.
Standard (check for open):
Standard (check for short):
- Reconnect the camshaft timing oil control valve connector.
- reconnect the ecm connector.
Check for intermittent problems
Circuit description
The variable valve timing (vvt) system includes the ecm, the oil control
valve (ocv) and the vvt controller.
The ecm sends a target ”duty–cycle” control signal to the ocv. This control
signal, ...

Turning on the high beam headlights
1 With the headlights on, push the lever away from you to turn on the high beams.
Pull the lever toward you to the center position to turn the high beams off.
2 Pull the lever toward you and release it to flash the high beams once.
You can flash the high beams with the headlights on or off.

Inspection procedure
1 Check operation(overdrive)
Drive the vehicle after the engine warms up.
check that overdrive on e off occurs by an operation of the o/d
switch on–off.
2 Inspect terminal voltage(od)
Remove the cruise control ecu assy with the connector
still connected.

Auto connection
To turn auto connection mode on, set “Bluetooth* Power” to on.
When you register a phone, auto connection will be activated. Always set it to
this mode and leave the Bluetooth® phone in a place where a connection can be established.
When the engine switch is turned to ACCESSORY or ON <IGNITIO ...
