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.

    1. Dtc check (normal mode) Notice: hand–held tester only: when the diagnostic system is switched from the normal mode to the check mode, all the dtcs and freeze frame data recorded in the normal mode will be erased. So before switching modes, always check the dtcs and freeze frame data, and ...

    Vehicle load limits
    Vehicle load limits include total load capacity, seating capacity, towing capacity and cargo capacity. ◆ Total load capacity (vehicle capacity weight): Total load capacity means the combined weight of occupants, cargo and luggage. ◆ Seating capacity: 5 occupants (Front 2, Rear 3) S ...

    Safe Exit Assist
    The safe exit assist is a system that uses rear side radar sensors installed on the inner side of the rear bumper to help occupants judge if an approaching vehicle or bicycle may collide with a door when opening it or cancel opening of the door, to reduce the possibility of a collision.
