SFI System (1MZ-FE/3MZ-FE): Inspection

  1. INSPECT MASS AIR FLOW METER 
    1. Check the output voltage.
      1. Apply battery voltage across terminals 1 (+B) and 2 (E2G).
      2. Using a voltmeter, connect the positive (+) tester probe to terminal VG, and negative (-) tester probe to terminal E2G.
      3. Blow air into the MAF meter, and check that the voltage fluctuates.
    2. Measure the resistance between terminals 4 (THA) and 5 (E2).

      Standard: 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS

      Condition Specified Condition
      -20°C (-4°F) 13.6 to 18.4 Ω
      20°C (68°F) 2.21 to 2.69 Ω
      60°C (140°F) 0.493 to 0.667 Ω

    If the result is not as specified, replace the MAF meter.

  2. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSY 
    1. Measure the resistance between the terminals.

      Standard: 6.9 to 7.9 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 

      If the result is not as specified, replace the OCV assy.

    2. Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to terminal 1 and negative (-) lead to terminal 2, and check the movement of the valve.
      NOTE: Confirm that the valve moves freely and does not become stuck in any position.

    If necessary, replace the OCV assy.

    HINT:

    If the valve cannot return properly because of foreign matter, a small pressure leak in the advanced direction may occur and a DTC will be output.

  3. INSPECT ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSY 
    1. Measure the resistance between the terminals.

      Standard: 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      2 (VPA2) - 3 (EP1) 5.0 Ω or less
      5 (VPA1) - 1 (EP2) 5.0 Ω or less
      6 (VCP1) - 3 (EP1) 2.25 to 4.75 Ω
      4 (VCP2) - 1 (EP2) 2.25 to 4.75 Ω

    If the result is not as specified, replace the pedal assy.

  4. INSPECT THROTTLE BODY ASSY 
    1. Measure the resistance between the terminals.

      Standard: 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      2 (M+) - 1 (M-) 20°C (68°F) 0.3 to 100 Ω
      5 (VC) - 3 (E2) 20°C (68°F) 2.0 to 4.0 Ω

    If the result is not as specified, replace the throttle body assy.

  5. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR 
    1. Measure the resistance between each terminal.

      Standard: 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS

      Condition Specified Condition
      Approx. 20°C (68°F) 2.32 to 2.59 Ω
      Approx. 80°C (176°F) 0.310 to 0.326 Ω

    If the result is not as specified, replace the sensor.

    NOTE: If checking the engine coolant temperature sensor in the water, keep the terminals dry. After the check, wipe the sensor dry.

  6. INSPECT KNOCK SENSOR (1MZ-FE ENGINE TYPE) 
    1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminal and body.

      Standard: 10 Ω or higher 

      HINT:

      If the result is not as specified, replace the sensor.

  7. INSPECT KNOCK SENSOR (3MZ-FE ENGINE TYPE) 
    1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

      Standard: 120 to 280 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 

      HINT:

      If the result is not as specified, replace the sensor.
