Toyota Corolla (E120): Inspection procedure

Hint

:

  • this dtc chart is on the premise that the engine is cranked normally. If the engine is not cranked, proceed to the problem symptoms table on page 05–42.
  • Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the obd ii scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air–fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. At the time of the malfunction.

Hand–held tester

1 Read value of hand–held tester(starter signal)

  1. Connect the hand–held tester or obd ii scan tool to the dlc3.
  2.  turn the ignition switch on and push the hand–held tester main switch on.
  3.  select the item ”diagnosis / enhanced obd ii / data list / all / starter sig” and read the value displayed the hand–held tester.

Result:

2 Inspect park/neutral position switch or clutch start switch

2 Inspect park/neutral position switch or clutch start switch

  1. Inspect the park/neutral position switch. (A/t)
  1.  disconnect the a2 park/neutral position switch connector.
  2.  Check for continuity between each terminal shown below when the shift lever is moved to each range.

Standard:

  1. Reconnect the park/neutral position switch connector.
  1.  inspect the clutch start switch. (M/t)
  1.  disconnect the c8 clutch start switch connector.
  2.  Check for continuity between terminals when the switch on and off.

Standard:

  1. Reconnect the clutch start switch connector.

    Circuit description
    The o/d main switch (transmission control switch) is a momentary type switch. When pressing the o/d main switch, the o/d off indicator light lights up and the ecm prohibits shifting into o/d, and when pressing it once again, the o/d off indicator light goes off and the ecm allows shifting in ...

    Circuit description
    The ignition switch provides circuit power and the ecm provides the circuit ground that illuminates the mil. Mil operation is checked visually: it should be illuminated when the ignition is first turned on. If the mil is off all of the time or on all of the time, use the procedure below to ...
