Toyota Corolla (E120): Inspection procedure
Hint
: 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.
1 Inspect camshaft position sensor(resistance)

- Measure the resistance between the terminals of camshaft position sensor connector.
Standard:

Notice
: ”cold” and ”hot” shown above mean 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).


2 Check harness and connector(camshaft position sensor – ecm)

- Disconnect the c1 camshaft position sensor connector.
- disconnect the e3 ecm connector.
- check the resistance between the wire harness side connectors.
Standard (check for open):

Standard (check for short):

- Reconnect the ecm connector.
- reconnect the camshaft position sensor connector.



3 Check sensor installation(camshaft position sensor)
- Check the camshaft position sensor installation.


4 Check camshaft timing gear assy(teeth of plate)
- Check the teeth of the signal plate.


Replace ecm

Monitor description
The battery supplies electricity to the ecm even when the ignition switch is
off. This electricity allows the
ecm store data such as dtc history, freeze frame data, fuel trim values, and
other data. If the battery voltage
falls below a minimum level, the ecm will conclude that there is a fault ...
Inspection procedure
Hint:
start the inspection from step 1 in case of using the hand–held tester and start
from step 2 in case of not
using the hand–held tester.
1 Perform active test by hand–held tester(abs motor relay)
Check the operation sound of the abs motor individually when operaing it
with the ...
Inspection procedure
1 Check security indicator light
Remove the security indicator.
check the indicator light, as shown in the illustration and
table.
Standard:
2 Check wire harness (tvip ecu security indicator)
Disconnect the tvip ecu and security indicator connectors.
