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.

Circuit description
A flat type knock sensor (non–resonant type) has the structure that can
detect the vibration in a wider band
of frequency from about 6 khz to 15 khz and has the following features.
Knock sensors are fitted on the cylinder block to detect the engine knocking.
The sensor contains a piezoele ...
Circuit description
The throttle pressure that is applied to the primary regulator
valve (which modulates the line pressure) causes the solenoid
valve slt, under electronic control, to precisely and minutely
modulate and generate the line pressure according the extent
of the accelerator pedal depressed or the o ...
Inspection procedure
1 Inspect terminal voltage(od – body ground)
Disconnect the cruise control ecu connector.
turn the ignition switch to the on position.
measure the voltage between terminal od of cruise control
ecu and body ground.
Standard:
2 Inspect terminal voltage(od1 – bod ...
