No

=>Go to Boost pressure sensor signal voltage check.

3. Boost pressure sensor signal voltage check

1) Observe the Boost Pressure Sensor parameter on the scan tool. Is the Boost Pressure Sensor parameter less than or equal to the specified value?

Value: 0.1 V

Yes

=>Go to Boost pressure sensor 5 V reference voltage check.

No

Go to Intermittent conditions of engine.

Refer to "202.Engine 15D.Symptom(4JJ3 without DPD) intermittent conditions of engine".

4. Boost pressure sensor 5 V reference voltage check

1) Turn OFF the ignition switch.

2) Disconnect the boost pressure sensor harness connector (E31).

3) Turn ON the ignition switch.

4) Measure the voltage between the boost pressure sensor 5 V reference circuit (pin 3 of E31) and the body ground with a DMM. Is the voltage more than or equal to the specified value?

Refer to "LHD Engine Control (4JJ3 without DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Refer to "RHD Engine Control (4JJ3 without DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Value: 4.5 V

Yes

=>Go to Boost pressure sensor signal voltage check using fused jumper wire.

No

=>Go to Inspection for open circuit in boost pressure sensor 5 V reference circuit.

5. Boost pressure sensor signal voltage check using fused jumper wire

1) Connect a fused jumper wire between the 5 V reference circuit and the signal circuit of the boost pressure sensor (pins 1 and 3 of E31).

Refer to "LHD Engine Control (4JJ3 without DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Refer to "RHD Engine Control (4JJ3 without DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

2) Observe the Boost Pressure Sensor parameter on the scan tool. Is the Boost Pressure Sensor parameter more than or equal to the specified value?

Value: 4.5 V

Yes

=>Go to Boost pressure sensor harness connector inspection.

No

=>Go to Inspection for open circuit and short circuit in boost pressure sensor signal circuit.

6. Inspection for open circuit in boost pressure sensor 5 V reference circuit

1) Inspect the 5 V reference circuit between the ECM (pin 30 of E3) and the boost pressure sensor (pin 3 of E31) for an open circuit or high resistance. Is the result normal?

Caution

  • The boost pressure sensor shares the 5 V reference circuit with other sensors. A malfunction in the 5 V reference circuit may set DTCs on sensors that share this circuit.

Refer to "LHD Engine Control (4JJ3 without DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Refer to "RHD Engine Control (4JJ3 without DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Yes

=>Go to ECM harness connector inspection.

No

Repair the circuit as necessary.

=>Go to Repair verification.

7. Inspection for open circuit and short circuit in boost pressure sensor signal circuit

1) Inspect the signal circuit between the ECM (pin 28 of E2) and the boost pressure sensor (pin 1 of E31) for the following. Is the result normal?

  • Open circuit
  • Short to ground
  • Short to the low reference circuit
  • High resistance

Refer to "LHD Engine Control (4JJ3 without DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Refer to "RHD Engine Control (4JJ3 without DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Yes

=>Go to ECM harness connector inspection.

No

Repair the circuit as necessary.

=>Go to Repair verification.

8. Boost pressure sensor harness connector inspection

1) Inspect for poor connections at the boost pressure sensor harness connector (pins 1 and 3 of E31). Is the connection status normal?

Refer to "LHD Engine Control (4JJ3 without DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Refer to "RHD Engine Control (4JJ3 without DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Yes
