PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE (FOR YOUR INFORMATION)

Items Symptom

Starting Won’t start The starter is used to crank the engine, but there is no combustion within the
cylinders, and the engine won’t start.

Fires up and dies There is combustion within the cylinders, but then the engine soon stalls.

Hard starting Engine starts after cranking a while.

Idling Hunting Engine speed doesn’t remain constant; changes at idle.

stability
Rough idle Usually, a judgement can be based upon the movement of the tachometer
pointer, and the vibration transmitted to the steering wheel, shift lever, body, etc.
This is called rough idle.

Incorrect idle speed The engine doesn’t idle at the usual correct speed.

Engine stall The engine stalls when the foot is taken from the accelerator pedal, regardless
(Die out) of whether the vehicles is moving or not.

Engine stall The engine stalls when the accelerator pedal is depressed or while it is being

Caution
When shifting the select lever to D range, the brakes should be applied so that the vehicle does
not move forward.
NOTE
*1: Within four minutes after starting the engine
*2: In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the injector drive time is sometimes 10% longer
than the standard time.
*3: The accelerator pedal position switch normally turns off when the voltage of the accelerator pedal
position sensor (1st channel) is 50 – 100 mV higher than the voltage at the idle position. If the accelerator
pedal position switch turns back on after the accelerator pedal position sensor voltage has risen by
100 mV and the throttle valve has opened, the accelerator pedal position switch and the accelerator
pedal position sensor (1st channel) need to be adjusted.

CHECK CHART FOR RESISTANCE AND CONTINUITY
BETWEEN TERMINALS
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the engine-ECU connector.
3. Measure the resistance and check for continuity between
the terminals of the engine-ECU harness-side connector
while referring to the check chart.
NOTE
(1) When measuring resistance and checking continuity,
a harness for checking contact pin pressure should
be used instead of inserting a test probe.
(2) Checking need not be carried out in the order given
in the chart.
Caution
If the terminals that should be checked are mistaken,
or if connector terminals are not correctly shorted
to earth, damage may be caused to the vehicle wiring,
sensors, engine-ECU and/or ohmmeter.
Be careful to prevent this!
4. If the ohmmeter shows any deviation from the standard
value, check the corresponding sensor, actuator and
related electrical wiring, and then repair or replace.
5. After repair or replacement, recheck with the ohmmeter
to confirm that the repair or replacement has corrected
the problem.

CODES
Refer to GROUP 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points.

INSPECTION USING MUT-II DATA LIST AND

ACTUATOR TESTING
1. Carry out inspection by means of the data list and the
actuator test function.
If there is an abnormality, check and repair the chassis
harnesses and components.
2. After repairing, re-check using the MUT-II and check that
the abnormal input and output have returned to normal
as a result of the repairs.
3. Erase the diagnosis code memory.
4. Remove the MUT-II.
5. Start the engine again and carry out a road test to confirm
that the problem has disappeared.

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION REFERENCE TABLE 13100910398

When the main sensor malfunctions are detected by the diagnosis function, the vehicle is controlled by
means of the pre-set control logic to maintain safe conditions for driving.

Malfunctioning item Control contents during malfunction

Vacuum sensor 1. Uses the throttle position sensor signal and engine speed signal (crank angle sensor
signal) to take reading of the basic injector drive time and basic ignition timing from
the pre-set mapping.
2. Fixes the ISC servo in the appointed position so idle control is not performed.

Intake air temperature Controls as if the intake air temperature is 45_C.

sensor

Throttle position No increase in fuel injection amount during acceleration due to the throttle position sensor
sensor (TPS) signal.

Engine coolant Controls as if the engine coolant temperature is 80_C.

temperature sensor

Detonation sensor Switches the ignition timing from ignition timing for super petrol to ignition timing for standard
petrol.

Oxygen sensor (front) Air/fuel ratio feedback control (closed loop control) is not performed.

Oxygen sensor (rear) Performs the feedback control (closed loop control) of the air/fuel ratio by using only the signal
of the oxygen sensor (front) installed on the front of the catalytic converter.

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE (FOR YOUR INFORMATION)
Items Symptom

Starting Won’t start The starter is used to crank the engine, but there is no combustion within the
cylinders, and the engine won’t start.

Fires up and dies There is combustion within the cylinders, but then the engine soon stalls.

Hard starting Engine starts after cranking a while.

Idling Hunting Engine speed doesn’t remain constant; changes at idle.

stability
Rough idle Usually, a judgement can be based upon the movement of the tachometer
pointer, and the vibration transmitted to the steering wheel, shift lever, body,
etc. This is called rough idle.

Incorrect idle The engine doesn’t idle at the usual correct speed.
speed

Engine stall The engine stalls when the foot is taken from the accelerator pedal,
(Die out) regardless of whether the vehicles is moving or not.

Engine stall The engine stalls when the accelerator pedal is depressed or while it is being
(Pass out) used.

Driving Hesitation Sag “Hesitation” is the delay in response of the vehicle speed (engine speed) that
occurs when the accelerator is depressed in order to accelerate from the
speed at which the vehicle is now traveling, or a temporary drop in vehicle
speed (engine speed) during such acceleration.
Serious hesitation is called “sag”. (Refer to Fig. 1)

Poor acceleration Poor acceleration is inability to obtain an acceleration corresponding to the

degree of throttle opening, even though acceleration is smooth, or the inability
to reach maximum speed.

Stumble Engine speed increase is delayed when the accelerator pedal is initially
depressed for acceleration. (Refer to Fig. 2)

Shock The feeling of a comparatively large impact or vibration when the engine is
accelerated or decelerated.

Surge This is repeated surging ahead during constant speed travel or during variable
speed travel.

Knocking A sharp sound like a hammer striking the cylinder walls during driving and
which adversely affects driving.

Stopping Run on The condition in which the engine continues to run after the ignition switch is
(“Dieseling”) turned to OFF. Also called “Dieseling”.

CHECK CHART FOR RESISTANCE AND CONTINUITY

BETWEEN TERMINALS
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the engine-ECU connector.
3. Measure the resistance and check for continuity between
the terminals of the engine-ECU harness-side connector
while referring to the check chart.
NOTE
(1) When measuring resistance and checking continuity,
a harness for checking contact pin pressure should
be used instead of inserting a test probe.
(2) Checking need not be carried out in the order given
in the chart.
Caution
If the terminals that should be checked are mistaken,
or if connector terminals are not correctly shorted
to earth, damage may be caused to the vehicle wiring,
sensors, engine-ECU and/or ohmmeter.
Be careful to prevent this!
4. If the ohmmeter shows any deviation from the standard
value, check the corresponding sensor, actuator and
related electrical wiring, and then repair or replace.
5. After repair or replacement, recheck with the ohmmeter
to confirm that the repair or replacement has corrected
the problem.

BASIC IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT 13100180508

NOTE
(1) The standard idling speed has been adjusted, by the speed
adjusting screw (SAS), by the manufacturer, and there
should usually be no need for readjustment.
(2) If the adjustment has been changed by mistake, the idle
speed may become too high or the idle speed may drop
too low when loads from components such as the A/C
are placed on the engine. If this occurs, adjust by the
following procedure.
(3) The adjustment, if made, should be made after first
confirming that the spark plugs, the injectors, the idle speed
control servo, the compression pressure, etc., are all
normal.
1. Before inspection and adjustment, set the vehicle to the
pre-inspection condition.
2. Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector (16-pin).
NOTE
When the MUT-II is connected, the diagnosis control
terminal should be earthed.

Ignition timing adjust- 3. Remove the waterproof female connector from the ignition
ment connector (brown) timing adjustment connector.
4. Use a jumper wire to earth the ignition timing adjustment
Jumper wire terminal.

5. Start the engine and run at idle.

6. Check the idle speed.
Standard value: 750 ± 50 r/min
NOTE
(1) The engine speed may be 20 to 100 r/min lower than
indicated above for a new vehicle [driven
approximately 500 km or less], but no adjustment is
necessary.
(2) If the engine stalls or the engine speed is low even
though the vehicle has been driven approximately 500
km or more, it is probable that deposits are adhered
to the throttle valve, so clean it. (Refer to P.13B-65.)
7. If not within the standard value range, turn the speed
adjusting screw (SAS) to make the necessary adjustment.
8. Switch OFF the ignition switch.
9. Disconnect the jumper wire from the ignition timing
adjustment terminal and return the connector to its original
condition.
