Toyota Corolla (E120): For vehicles equipped with catalytic converter
Caution
: if large amount of unburned fuel flows into the converter, it may cause overheating and a fire hazard.
To prevent this, observe the following precautions.
- Use only unleaded gasoline.
- avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
- avoid a spark jump test.
- Perform a spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
- While testing, never race the engine.
- avoid a prolonged engine compression measurement.
Engine compression measurements must be performed as rapidly as possible.
- do not run the engine when the fuel tank is nearly empty. This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.

On–vehicle inspection
1. Inspect wireless door lock control functions
Hint:
the switch described in this text is a switch for transmitting
signals (lock switch, unlock switch
and panic switch) which is built into the door control transmitter.
All the functions listed below must be checked in the remote contro ...
Inspection procedure
Hint:
if different dtcs related to different systems that have terminal e2
as the ground terminal are output
simultaneously, terminal e2 may be open.
If dtc p0441 (purge flow), p0446 (vsv for ccv), p0451, p0452 or p0453
(evaporative pressure
sensor) is output with dtc p0442 or p0456, ...
Inspection
1. Intake air flow meter sub–assy
Inspect the intake air flow meter resistance.
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between
terminals tha and e2.
Resistance:
at –20 c (–4 f) 13.6 To 18.4 KΩ
at 20 c (68 f) 2.21 To 2.69 KΩ
at 60 c (140 f) 0.49 To 0.67 ...
