Toyota Corolla (E120): Circuit description
The camshaft position sensor (g22+ signal) consists of a magnet, iron core and pickup coil.
The g22+ signal plate has 3 teeth on its outer circumference and is installed on the camshaft timing pulley.
When the camshafts rotate, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pickup coil changes, causing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive force in the pickup coil.
The ne+ signal plate (crankshaft timing pulley) has 34 teeth and is installed to the crankshaft. The ne+ signal sensor generates 34 signals at every engine revolution. The ecm detects the crankshaft angle and the engine revolution based on the ne+ signals, and the cylinder and the angle of the vvt based on the combination of the g22+ and ne+ signals.
Reference: inspection using the oscilloscope.
Hint
: the correct waveform is as shown on the left.
Monitor description
If there is no signal from the camshaft position sensor despite the engine revolving, or if the rotation of the camshaft and the crankshaft is not synchronized, the ecm interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

RCTA function
■ Operation of the RCTA function
The RCTA function uses rear side radar sensors to detect vehicles
approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle and alerts
the driver of the presence of such vehicles by flashing the outside
rear view mirror indicators and sounding a buzzer.

Circuit description
When a misfire occurs in the engine, hydrocarbons (hc) enter the exhaust in
high concentrations. If this hc
concentration is high enough, there could be an increase in exhaust emissions
levels. High concentrations
of hc passing through the catalyst also cause to temperature of the catalyst to ...
Inspection procedure
1 Inspect terminal voltage(od – body ground)
Disconnect the cruise control ecu connector.
turn the ignition switch to the on position.
measure the voltage between terminal od of cruise control
ecu and body ground.
Standard:
2 Inspect terminal voltage(od1 – bod ...
