Engine Controls - (5VZ-FE) - Diagnostics: Pre-Check

  1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM 
    1. Description
      • When troubleshooting On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) vehicles, the vehicle must be connected to the OBD II scan tool (in compliance with SAE J1978) or the hand-held tester. Various data output from the vehicle's ECM can then be read.
      • OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's onboard computer illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on the instrument panel when the computer detects a malfunction in: 1) the emission control system/components, or 2) the powertrain control components (which affect vehicle emissions), or 3) the computer. In addition, the applicable Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) prescribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the ECM memory (see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART ).

        If the malfunction does not reoccur in 3 consecutive trips, the MIL goes off automatically but the DTCs remain recorded in the ECM memory.

      • To check DTCs, connect the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle. The hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool also enables you to erase the DTC and check the freeze frame data and various forms of engine data (see the instruction manual for the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester). The DTC includes SAE controlled codes and manufacturer controlled codes. SAE controlled codes must be set according to the SAE, while manufacturer controlled codes can be set by a manufacturer with certain restrictions (See DTC chart DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART ).
      • The diagnosis system operates in normal mode during normal vehicle use. In "normal mode", 2 trip detection logic* is used to ensure accurate detection of malfunctions. A "check mode", is also available to technicians as an option. In "check mode", 1 trip detection logic is used for simulating malfunction symptoms and increasing the system's ability to detect malfunctions, including intermittent malfunctions (hand-held tester only) (See step  3).

      • *2 trip detection logic:

        When a malfunction is first detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM memory (1st trip). If the ignition switch is turned OFF and then ON again, and the same malfunction is detected again, the MIL will illuminate (2nd trip).

      • Freeze frame data:

        The freeze frame data records the engine conditions (fuel system, calculated load, engine coolant temperature, fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, 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.

      Priorities for troubleshooting:

      When multiple DTCs occur, find out the order in which the DTCs should be inspected by checking the component's DTC chart. If no instructions are written in the DTC chart, check DTCs in the following order of priority:

      1. DTCs other than fuel trim malfunction DTCs (P0171 and P0172) and misfire DTCs (P0300 - P0306).
      2. Fuel trim malfunction DTCs (P0171 and P0172).
      3. Misfire DTCs (P0300 - P0306).
    2. Check the DLC3.

      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 4: Connection Testing Table
      G02928812Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002

      HINT:

      Connect the cable of the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester to the DLC3, turn the ignition switch to ON and attempt to use the hand-held tester. If the screen displays UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, a problem exists in the vehicle side or the tester side.

      • If the communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle.
      • If the communication is still not possible when the tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tool itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the tool's instruction manual.
    3. Inspect battery voltage.

      Battery Voltage: 11 to 14V 

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

    4. Check MIL.
      1. The MIL turns on when the ignition switch is turned ON and the engine is not running.

        HINT:

        If the MIL does not light up, troubleshoot the combination meter (See COMBINATION METER ).

      2. When the engine is started, the MIL should turn off. If the lamp remains on, the diagnosis system has detected a malfunction or abnormality in the system.
      3. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART  to confirm the details of the DTCs.

  2. DTC CHECK / CLEAR (Normal Mode) 
    NOTE:
    • If no DTC appears in the normal mode: On the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester, check the pending fault code using the Continuous Test Results function (Mode 7 for SAE J1979).
    • 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 will be erased. Before changing modes, always check and make a note of DTCs and freeze frame data.
    1. Check the DTC.
      1. Connect the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to the DLC3.
      2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
      3. Use the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester to check the DTCs and freeze frame data and then write them down. For the hand-held tester, select the item: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES. For the OBD II scan tool, see its instruction manual.
      4. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART  to confirm the details of the DTCs.
      NOTE: When simulating a symptom with the OBD II scan tool (excluding hand- held tester) to check DTCs, use normal mode. For DTCs subject to "2 trip detection logic", perform either of the following actions.
      • Check the pending fault code: For the hand-held tester, enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / PENDING CODES.
      • Turn the ignition switch to OFF after the symptom is simulated once. Then repeat the simulation process again. When the problem has been simulated again, the MIL illuminates and the DTCs are recorded in the ECM.

    Term Definition
    Monitor description Description of what the ECM monitors and how it detects malfunctions (monitoring purpose and its details).
    Related DTCs Diagnostic code
    Typical enabling condition Preconditions that allow the ECM to detect malfunctions. With all preconditions satisfied, the ECM sets the 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 has 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 malfunction only one time during a single driving cycle. "Continuous" means that the ECM detects malfunction every time when enabling condition is met.
    Duration The minimum time that the ECM must sense a continuous deviation in the monitored value(s) before setting a DTC. This timing begins after the "typical enabling conditions" are met.
    Malfunction thresholds Beyond this value, the ECM will conclude that there is a malfunction and set a DTC.
    MIL operation MIL illumination timing after a defect is detected. "Immediately" means that the ECM illuminates MIL the instant the ECM determines that there is a malfunction. "2 driving cycle" means that the ECM illuminates MIL if the same malfunction is detected again in the 2nd driving cycle.

  13. O2S TEST RESULT 
    1. INTRODUCTION

      The O2S TEST RESULT refers to the results of the engine control module (ECM) when it monitors the oxygen sensor (O2S), and it can be read using the hand-held tester or the generic OBDII scan tool. Based on this, you can find the O2S's conditions.

      The ECM monitors the O2S in the various items. You can read the monitor result (TEST DATA) of each monitor item using the O2S TEST RESULT. However, the output value of the TEST DATA is the latest "snapshot" value that is it taken after monitoring and therefore it is not dynamic. In this article, the description of the O2S TEST RESULT (for O2S related DTCs) are written in a table. This table consists of 5 items:

      1. TEST ID (a code applied to each TEST DATA)
      2. Description of TEST DATA
      3. Conversion Factor (When Conversion Factor has a value written in the table, multiply the TEST DATA value appearing on the scan tool by the Conversion Factor value. The result will be the required value.)
      4. Unit
      5. Standard Value

      If the TEST DATA value appearing on the scan tool is out of the standard value, the O2S is malfunctioning. If it is within the standard value, the O2S is functioning normally. However, if the value is on the borderline of the standard value, the O2S may malfunction very soon.

    2. HOW TO READ O2S TEST RESULT USING HAND-HELD TESTER
      1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
      2. On the tester screen, select the following menus: DIAGNOSIS/CARB OBDII/O2S TEST RESULT. A list of the O2S equipped on the vehicle will be displayed.
        Fig 20: Sensor Numbering List
        G02928828Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      3. Select the desired O2S and press ENTER. The following screen will appear.
      4. Press HELP and iquest simultaneously. More information will appear.
      5. Example:
        • The hand-held tester displays "17" as a value of the "TIME $81" (see Fig 21).
        • Find the Conversion Factor value of "TIME $81" in the O2S TEST RESULT chart below. 0.3906 is specified for $81 in this chart.
        • Multiply "17" in step (1) by 0.3906 (Conversion Factor) in the step (2).

          17 x 0.3906 = 6.6% 

        • If the answer is within the standard value, the "TIME $81" can be confirmed to be normal.

  14. CHECKING MONITOR STATUS 
    NOTE: The Monitor Status is not applicable to the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S). The HO2S status can be checked with O2S TEST RESULT.
    1. INTRODUCTION

      The purpose of the monitor result (mode 6) is to allow access to the results for on-board diagnostic monitoring tests of specific components/systems that are not continuously monitored. Examples are catalyst, EVAP and thermostat.

      The monitor result allows the OBD scan tool to display the monitor status, test value and test limit. The monitor status indicates whether the component is functioning normally or not (PASS or FAIL). The test value is the value that was used to determine the monitor status. When the test value is inside the test limit, the ECM determines the component is functioning normally (PASS). If the test value is outside the test limit, the ECM determines the component is malfunctioning (FAIL).

      A problem in these components/systems can be found by comparing the test value and test limit. The monitor result information is included under "MONITOR RESULT" in the DTC tests.

    2. PROCEDURE
      NOTE: The monitor result and test value are cleared when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
      1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
      2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
      3. Clear the DTCs.
      4. Run the vehicle in accordance with the applicable drive pattern described in READINESS MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN (see READINESS MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN ).
      5. Select from the tester menus: DIAGNOSIS, ENHANCED OBD II, MONITOR INFO and MONITOR RESULT. The monitor result appears after the component name.

        INCMP: The component has not been monitored yet.

        PASS: The component is functioning normally.

        FAIL: The component is malfunctioning.

      6. Confirm that the component is set to either PASS or FAIL.
        Fig 22: Checking Monitor Status Result Block
        G02928830Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      7. Select the component (Label) and press ENTER. The accuracy test value appears when the monitor result is either PASS or FAIL.

        VAL The test value

        LMT: The test limit

        TLT: The test limit type. Either 0 or 1 is displayed.

      8. If TLT is 0, the component is malfunctioning when the test value is higher than the test limit. If TLT is 1, the component is malfunctioning when the test value is lower than the test limit.
      9. Compare the test value with the test limit. The test value is usually significantly higher or lower than the test limit. If the test value is on the borderline of the test limit, there is a potential malfunction in the component.

HINT:

The monitor result might on rare occasions be PASS even if the MIL is illuminated. This indicates the system malfunctioned on a previous driving cycle. This might be caused by an intermittent problem.
