Diagnosis & Repair

1999 Toyota 4Runner Limited, 3.4 N, RWDSECTION Diagnosis & Repair
  1. Access ECM behind glove box. Turn ignition on. Using DVOM, backprobe at ECM harness connector and measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 4 (Blue wire) at ECM harness connector E10. See Figure. If voltage is 9-14 volts, replace ECM. If voltage is not 9-14 volts, go to next step.
  2. Disconnect A/F sensor harness connector. Measure resistance between terminal B+ (White/Blue wire) and HT (Blue wire ) at A/F sensor connector (component side). See Figure. Resistance should be .8-1.4 ohms at 68Β°F (20Β°C) and 1.8-3.2 ohms at 1472Β°F (800Β°C). If resistance is not as specified, replace A/F sensor. If resistance is as specified, go to next step.
  3. Check for open or short in wiring between EFI main relay and A/F sensor, and between A/F sensor and ECM. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article. Repair as necessary.
