Engine - Diagnostics: Pre-Check

  1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM 
    1. Description

      When troubleshooting OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics) vehicles, a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1987) must be connected to the DLC3 (Data Link Connector 3) of the vehicle. Various data in the vehicle's ECM (Engine Control Module) can be then read. OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on-board computer illuminates the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on the instrument panel when the computer detects a malfunction in:

      • The emission control systems and components
      • The power train control components (which affect vehicle emissions)
      • The computer itself

      In addition, the applicable DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) prescribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in 3 consecutive trips, the MIL turns off automatically but the DTCs remain recorded in the ECM (Engine Control Module) memory.

      To check the DTCs, connect a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3. The tester and scan tool display DTCs, freeze frame data, and a variety of engine data. The DTCs and freeze frame data can be erased with the tester and scan tool (see HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING ).

    2. Normal mode and check mode

      The diagnosis system operates in the normal mode during normal vehicle use. In normal mode, 2 trip detection logic is used to ensure accurate detection of malfunctions. Check mode is also available as an option for technicians. In check mode, 1 trip detection logic is used for simulating malfunction symptoms and increasing the system's ability to detect malfunctions, including intermittent problems (hand-held tester only).

    3. 2 trip detection logic

      When a malfunction is first detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM memory (1st trip). If the same malfunction is detected during the next sequent drive cycle, the MIL is illuminated (2nd trip).

    4. Freeze frame data

      The freeze frame data record the engine conditions (fuel system, calculated engine load, engine coolant temperature, fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data, from the time the malfunction occurred.

    5. DLC3 (Data Link Connector 3)

      The vehicle's ECM uses the ISO 9141-2 communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format.

      Fig 3: Identifying DLC3 Connector Terminals

      DATA LINK CONNECTOR TERMINALS REFERENCE

      Symbols Terminal No. Names Reference Terminals Results Conditions
      SIL 7 Bus "+" line 5 - Signal ground Pulse generation During transmission
      CG 4 Chassis ground Body ground Below 1 Ω Always
      SG 5 Signal ground Body ground Below 1 Ω Always
      BAT 16 Battery positive Body ground 9 to 14 V Always

      HINT:

      The DLC3 is the interface prepared for reading various data from the vehicle's ECM. After connecting the cable of a hand held tester or OBD II scan tool, turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester or scan tool ON.

      If a communication failure message is displayed on the tester or scan tool screen (on the tester: UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE), a problem exists in either the vehicle or tester. In order to identify the location of the problem, connect the tester to another vehicle.

      • If communication is normal: Inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.
      • If communication is impossible: The problem is probably with the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the instruction manual.
    6. Battery voltage
      1. Battery voltage: 11 to 14 V 

      If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge the battery before proceeding.

    7. MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)
      1. The MIL illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to ON and the engine is not running.

        HINT:

        If the MIL does not illuminate, check the MIL circuit (see MIL Circuit Malfunction ).

      2. The MIL should turn off when the engine is started.

        If the MIL remains on, the diagnosis system has detected a malfunction or abnormality in the system.

  2. DTC CHECK (Normal Mode) 
    NOTE: Hand-held tester only:

    When the diagnosis system is changed from normal mode to check mode or vice versa, all DTCs and freeze frame data recorded in normal mode are erased. Before changing modes, always check and make a note of DTCs and freeze frame data. 

    HINT:

    • DTCs which are stored in the ECM can be displayed on a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. A hand-held tester can display current and pending DTCs.
    • Some DTCs are not set if the ECM does not detect the same malfunction again during a second consecutive driving cycle. However, such malfunctions, detected on only one occasion, are stored as pending DTCs.
    • The pending DTCs are set when the malfunction is detected once.
    1. Check DTCs (using a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool)
      1. Connect a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
      2. Fig 4: Connecting Hand-Held Tester To DLC3
        G02947761Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
      4. Turn the tester or scan tool ON.
      5. For the tester, select the following menu items:

        DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/DTC INFO/CURRENT CODES or PENDING CODES.

      6. For the scan tool, refer to the instruction manual.
      7. Check DTCs and freeze frame data, and then write them down.
      8. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART  to check the details of DTCs.

      HINT:

      When simulating a symptom with an OBD II scan tool to check DTCs in the DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART, subject to 2 trip detection logic, conduct either of the following operations. (For more information, refer to the scan tool instruction manual.)

      • Check pending DTCs using the Continuous Test Result function (Mode 07 for SAE J1979).
      • Simulate the symptom again after turning the ignition switch to OFF upon finishing the first symptom simulation, so that the MIL is illuminated and the DTC(s) is stored in the ECM.
    2. Clear DTCs (using a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool)
      1. Connect a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
      2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
      3. Turn the tester or scan tool on.
      4. For the tester, select the following menu items:

        DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/DTC INFO/CLEAR CODES.

      5. Press the YES button.
      6. For the scan tool, refer to the instruction manual.
    3. Clear DTCs (without using a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool)
      1. Perform either one of the following operations.
        • Disconnect the negative battery cable for more than 1 minute.
        • Remove the EFI and ETCS fuses from the engine room Junction Block (J/B) located inside the engine compartment for more than 1 minute.
  3. DTC CHECK (Check Mode) 
    NOTE: Hand-held tester only:

    When the diagnosis system is changed from normal mode to check mode or vice versa, all DTCs and freeze frame data recorded in normal mode are erased. Before changing modes, always check and make a note of DTCs and freeze frame data. 

    HINT:

    Hand-held tester only:

    Compared to normal mode, check mode is more sensitive to malfunctions. Therefore, check mode can detect the malfunctions that cannot be detected by normal mode.

    1. Procedure for check mode (using a hand-held tester)
      1. Make sure that the vehicle is in the following condition:
        • Battery voltage 11 V or more.
        • Throttle valve fully closed.
        • Shift lever is in the neutral position.
        • A/C switched OFF.
      2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
      3. Connect a hand-held tester to the DLC3.
      4. Fig 5: Identifying DLC3 Connector Location
        G02947762Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      5. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
      6. Turn the tester ON.
      7. Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/CHECK MODE.
      8. Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode.

        (Make sure the MIL flashes as shown in the illustration.)

        Fig 6: Identifying Pattern (MIL Flashes)
        G02947763Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      9. Start the engine. (Make sure the MIL turns off.)
      10. Simulate the conditions of the malfunction described by the customer.
      11. Check DTCs and freeze frame data using the tester.

    HINT:

    Do not turn the ignition switch to OFF, as turning it to OFF switches the diagnosis system from check mode to normal mode, which erases all the stored DTCs and freeze frame date.

  4. FAIL-SAFE CHART 

    If any of the following codes are recorded, the ECM enters fail-safe mode.

    FAIL-SAFE CHART

    DTCs Items Fail-Safe Operations Fail-Safe Deactivation Conditions
    P0031, P0032, P0037, P0038, P0051, P0052, P0057 and P0058 Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Heater Turn off HO2S heater. Ignition switch is OFF.
    P0100, P0102 and P0103 Mass Air Flow (MAF) Meter Ignition timing is calculated from engine RPM and throttle position. Pass condition is detected.
    P0110, P0112 and P0113 Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor ECM estimates that IAT is 20°C (68°F). Pass condition is detected.
    P0115, P0117 and P0118 Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor ECM estimates that ECT is 80°C (176°F). Pass condition is detected.
    P0120, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0220, P0223, P0604, P0606, P0607, P0657, P2102, P2103, P2111, P2118, P2119 and P2135 Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) ECM cuts off throttle actuator current and throttle valve is controlled by throttle cable. ECM then adjusts engine output by controlling fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing according to accelerator pedal opening angle to continue at a minimal speed. Pass condition is detected and ignition switch is turned OFF.
    P0325, P0330 Knock Sensor ECM sets ignition timing to maximum retard value (minimal spark advance control is performed). Ignition switch is OFF
    P0351 Ignitor Fuel is cut. Pass condition is detected
    P2120, P2121, P2122, P2123, P2125, P2127, P2128 and P2138 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor APP sensor has 2 sensor circuits: Main and sub. If either of circuits malfunctions, ECM controls engine using other circuit. If both of circuits malfunction, ECM regards accelerator pedal as being released. As a result, throttle valve is closed and engine idles. Pass condition is detected and ignition switch is turned OFF.
  5. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS 

    HINT:

    Hand-held tester only:

    Inspect the vehicle's ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect with the hand-held tester when the ECM is in check mode. In check mode, the ECM uses 1 trip detection logic, which is more sensitive to malfunctions than normal mode (default) that uses 2 trip detection logic.

    1. Clear DTCs (see step  2).
    2. Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using a hand-held tester.
    3. Perform a simulation test (see HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING ).
    4. Check and wiggle the harness(es), the connector(s) and terminal(s) (see HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).
  6. BASIC INSPECTION 

    When a malfunction is not confirmed by the DTC check, troubleshooting should be carried out in all circuits considered to be possible causes of the problem. In many cases, by carrying out the basic engine check shown in the following flowchart, the location of the problem can be found quickly and efficiently. Therefore, using this check is essential when engine troubleshooting.

  9. DEFINITION OF TERMS 
    TERMS DEFINITION

    Terms Definition
    Monitor description Description of what the ECM monitors and how detects malfunction (monitoring purpose and details).
    Related DTCs A group of diagnostic trouble codes that are output by the ECM based on the same malfunction detection logic.
    Typical enabling condition Preconditions that allow the ECM to detect malfunctions. With all preconditions satisfied, the ECM sets a DTC when the monitored value(s) exceeds the malfunction threshold(s).
    Sequence of operation The priority order that is applied to monitoring, if multiple sensors and components are used to detect the malfunction. While another sensor is being monitored, the next sensor or component will not be monitored until the previous monitoring is concluded.
    Required sensor/components The sensors and components that are used by the ECM to detect malfunctions.
    Frequency of operation The number of times that the ECM checks for malfunctions per driving cycle. "Once per driving cycle" means that the ECM detects a malfunction only one time during a single driving cycle. "Continuous" means that the ECM detects a malfunction every time when enabling conditions are met.
    Duration The minimum time that the ECM must detect a continuous deviation in the monitored value(s) before setting a DTC. This timing begins when the "typical enabling conditions" are met.
    Malfunction thresholds Beyond this value, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction and sets a DTC.
    MIL operation MIL illumination timing after a defect is detected. "Immediately" means that the ECM illuminates the MIL the instant the ECM determines that there is a malfunction. "2 driving cycle" means that the ECM illuminates the MIL if the same malfunction is detected the second time during the next sequential driving cycle.

  12. O2S TEST RESULT 
    1. Description of O2S TEST RESULT.

      The O2S Test Result is a part of the monitoring for Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor malfunctions. The various states (Test Items) of the HO2 sensor are monitored by the ECM. The Test Item values (Test Value) can be read using a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool.

      A Test Value is the latest snapshot data after the vehicle is driven to run the monitor. Therefore, the Test Value is not dynamic data.

      If a Test Value is outside the standard range, this indicates that the HO2 sensor is malfunctioning. If a Test Value is on the borderline of the standard level, any malfunctions may be concealed in the HO2 sensor.

      Test Values are cleared when the ignition switch is turned to OFF.

      Example:

      O2S TEST RESULT

      Test ID Test Items Descriptions Unit Conversions Units Standards
      $81 Time $81 Percentage of time when HO2S voltage was below 0.05V in HO2S monitoring time Multiply by 0.3906 % Within 60%
      • Test ID: Code applied to each Test Item
      • Test Item: State to be monitored in the test
      • Description: Monitoring method
      • Unit Conversion: Conversion factor used to calculate the Test Value displayed on a hand-held tester
      • Unit: Unit applied to a Test Value
      • Standard: The standard range or level used to judge whether or not the HO2 sensor is normal

      HINT:

      • Specifics of each Test Item, Description, Unit Conversion and Standard are described in the paragraph titled "O2S TEST RESULT" in each DTC relating to the HO2 sensor, such as P0130, P0133 and P0136.
      • The O2S Test Result is not applicable to the A/F (Air-Fuel Ratio) sensor and the HO2 sensor heater.

        The Monitor Result is used for these components tests. For more information about the tests, refer to Checking Monitor Status.

    2. Procedure of O2S TEST RESULT.
      CAUTION: Strictly observe posted speed limits, traffic laws, and road conditions when conducting the drive patterns.
      1. Connect a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
      2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
      3. Turn the tester or scan tool ON.

  13. CHECKING MONITOR STATUS 
    1. Description of MONITOR RESULT.

      The Monitor Result is part of the monitoring for malfunctions in emission related components such as the thermostat, catalytic converter, and evaporative emission system. The various states (test value) of the components are monitored by the ECM. The test values can be read using a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool.

      A test value is the latest snapshot data after the vehicle is driven to run the monitor. Therefore, the test value is not dynamic data.

      If a test value is outside the Test Limit, this indicates that the test item is malfunctioning. If a test value is on the borderline of the Test Limit, any malfunctions may be concealed.

      Test value is cleared when the ignition switch is turned to OFF.
