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).

  1. Clean the spark plugs.

    Air pressure: below 588 kpa (6.0 Kg/cm2, 85 psi) duration: 20 seconds or less

  1. 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)

  1. Check the spark plug electrode gap.

    Electrode gap: 1.1 Mm (0.043 In.)

2. Crank position sensor no.1

  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

  1.  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

  1. Continuity inspection.
  1. 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

  2.  using an ohmmeter, check that continuity exists between terminals 3 and 5 when the battery voltage is applied across terminals 1 and 2.

    Circuit description
    When the idle switch is turned on, a signal is sent to the cruise control ecu assy. The cruise control ecu assy uses this signal to correct the discrepancy between the throttle valve position and the actuator position sensor values to enable accurate cruise control at the set speed. If the idl ...
