Toyota Corolla (E120): Fail–safe chart
If any of the following codes is recorded, the ecm enters the fail–safe mode.
Check for intermittent problems
Hand–held tester only:
by putting the vehicle’s ecm in the check mode, the 1 trip detection logic is possible instead of the 2 trip detection logic, and the sensitivity to detect faults is increased. This makes it easier to detect intermittent problems.
- Clear the dtcs .
- set the check mode .
- perform a simulation test .
- check the connector and terminal .
- wiggle the harness and connector

General information
There are many ecu controlled systems used in the corolla. In general, ecu
controlled system are considered
to be very intricate and require a high level of technical knowledge and expert
skill to troubleshoot.
The fact is, however, that if you proceed by inspecting the circuits one by one, ...
Confirmation driving pattern
Connect the hand–held tester or the obd ii scan tool to the dlc3.
record dtcs and the freeze frame data.
set the check mode using the hand–held tester .
read the value on the misfire counter for each cylinder when
idling. If the value is displayed on the

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, applied to the ocv,
regulates the oil pressure supplied to the vvt controller. Camshaft timin ...
