Toyota Corolla (E120): Check and replace ecu
Notice
: start an inspection of the connector from the backside of the connector on the wire harness side with the connector connected to the ecu.
When no measurement condition is specified, perform the inspection with the engine stopped and also the ignition switch on.
- First check the ecu ground circuit. If it is faulty, repair it.
If it is normal, the ecu could be faulty. In this case, replace the ecu with one that functions normally and check if the symptoms appear.
- Measure the resistance between the ecu ground
terminal and body ground.
Resistance: 1 Ω or less
- Disconnect the ecu connector, check the ground terminals on the ecu side and wire harness side for bends and check the contact pressure.

Precaution
1. Precaution of headlight bulb replacement
if even a thin film of oil is left on the surface of the halogen
lamp, its service life will be shortened because
the lamp will be burn at a higher temperature.
handle any halogen lamp with great care. Dropping, hitting or

Inspection procedure
Hint:
if different dtcs related to different systems that have terminal e2
as the ground terminal are output
simultaneously, terminal e2 may be open.
If dtc p0441 (purge flow), p0446 (vsv for ccv), p0451, p0452 or p0453
(evaporative pressure
sensor) is output with dtc p0442 or p0456, ...
Inspection procedure
1 Check p squib circuit(airbag sensor assy center – instrument
panel passenger airbag 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 instrument panel ...
