Toyota Corolla (E120) 2002–2008 Repair Manual / Ignition / Inspection
Toyota Corolla (E120): Inspection
1. Spark plug
Notice
:
- never use a wire brush for cleaning.
- Never attempt to adjust the electrode gap on used spark plug.
- Spark plug should be replaced every 192,000 km (120,000 miles).
- Clean the spark plugs.
Air pressure: below 588 kpa (6.0 Kg/cm2, 85 psi) duration: 20 seconds or less
- Check the spark plug for thread damage and insulator damage.
Hint
: if abnormal, replace the spark plug.
Recommended spark plug:
sk16r11 (denso made)
ifr5a11 (ngk made)
- Check the spark plug electrode gap.
Electrode gap: 1.1 Mm (0.043 In.)
2. Crank position sensor no.1
- using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.
Resistance:
at cold 835 – 1,400 w
at hot 1,060 – 1,645 w
N
otice
: ”cold” and ”hot” on the table express the temperature of the coils themselves. ”Cold” is from –10 c (14 f) to 50 c (122 f) and ”hot” is from 50 c (122 f) to 100 c (212 f).
Hint
: if the resistance is not as specified, replace the crank position sensor no. 1.
3. Crank position sensor
- using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.
Resistance:
at cold 1,630 – 2,740 w
at hot 2,065 – 3,225 w
Notice
: ”cold” and ”hot” on the table express the temperature of the coils themselves. ”Cold” is from –10 c (14 f) to 50 c (122 f) and ”hot” is from 50 c (122 f) to 100 c (212 f).
Hint
: if the resistance is not as specified, replace the crank position sensor.
4. Ignition relay
- Continuity inspection.
- Using an ohmmeter, check that continuity exists between
each terminal.
Specified condition: between terminal 1 and 2 continuity between terminal 3 and 5 no continuity
- using an ohmmeter, check that continuity exists between terminals 3 and 5 when the battery voltage is applied across terminals 1 and 2.

Inspection procedure
1 Check d squib circuit(airbag sensor assy center – horn button
assy)
Disconnect the negative (–) terminal cable from the battery,
and wait at least for 90 seconds.
disconnect the connectors between the airbag sensor
assy center and the horn button assy.
connect the ...
Inspection procedure
Hint:
hand–held tester only:
narrowing down the trouble area is possible by performing ”a/f control” active
test (heated oxygen
sensor or other trouble areas can be distinguished).
Perform active test using hand–held tester (a/f control).
Hint:
”a/f control” is the active te ...
