Hand-held tester:

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY HAND-HELD TESTER (OPERATE CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY) 
    1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the hand-held tester ON.
    3. Select the item: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / FUEL PUMP / SPD.
    4. Check the relay operation while operating it with the hand-held tester.

      Standard: Operating sound can be heard from the relay. 

    OK: Go to step   5 

    NG: GO TO NEXT STEP. 

  2. INSPECT CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY 
    1. Remove the circuit opening relay from the engine room J/B.
    2. Check for continuity in the circuit opening relay.

      Standard:

    3. Reinstall the circuit opening relay.

    NG: REPLACE CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY 

    OK: GO TO NEXT STEP. 

  3. INSPECT ECM (FC VOLTAGE) 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    2. Measure the voltage between the specified terminals of the E6 and E8 ECM connectors.

      Standard:

    OK: REPLACE ECM (See  ECM (3MZ-FE)  ) 

    NG: GO TO NEXT STEP. 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY, CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY - IGNITION SWITCH) 
    1. Check the harness and the connector between the ECM connector and the circuit opening relay.
      1. Disconnect the E6 ECM connector.
      2. Remove the circuit opening relay from the engine room J/B.
      3. Check the resistance between the wire harness side connectors.

        Standard (Check for open):

    2. Check the harness and the connector between the circuit opening relay and the 114 ignition switch connector.
      1. Inspect the IG2 fuse.
        • Remove the IG2 fuse from the engine room J/B.
        • Check for continuity in the IG2 fuse.

          Standard: Continuity 

        • Reinstall the IG2 fuse.
      2. Remove the circuit opening relay from the engine room J/B.
      3. Disconnect the 114 ignition switch connector.
      4. Check the resistance between the wire harness side connectors.

        Standard (Check for open):

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE ECM (See  ECM (3MZ-FE)  ) 

  5. INSPECT FUEL PUMP 
    1. Inspect the fuel pump resistance.
      1. Measure the resistance between terminals 4 and 5.

        Standard: 0.2 to 3.0 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 

    2. Inspect the fuel pump operation
      1. Apply battery voltage to both the terminals. Check that the pump operates.
    NOTE:
    • These tests must be done quickly (within 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning out.
    • Keep fuel pump as far away from the battery as possible.
    • Always do the switching at the battery side.
