2006 Toyota Camry Base, AutomaticFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

SFI System (2AZ-FE): Inspection

  1. INSPECT MASS AIR FLOW METER 
    1. Check the output voltage.
      1. Apply battery voltage across terminals 1 (+B) and 2 (E2G).
      2. Using a voltmeter, connect the positive (+) tester probe to terminal VG, and negative (-) tester probe to terminal E2G.
      3. Blow air into the MAF meter, and check that the voltage fluctuates.
    2. Measure the resistance between terminals 4 (THA) and 5 (E2).

    Standard: 

    MASS AIR FLOW METER - SPECIFIED CONDITION TABLE

    Condition Specified Condition
    -20°C (-4°F) 13.6 to 18.4 kΩ
    20°C (68°F) 2.21 to 2.69 kΩ
    60°C (140°F) 0.493 to 0.667 kΩ

    If the result is not as specified, replace the MAF meter.

  2. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSY 
    1. Measure the resistance between the terminals.

      Standard: 6.9 to 7.9 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 

      If the result is not as specified, replace the OCV assy.

    2. Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to terminal 1 and negative (-) lead to terminal 2, and check the movement of the valve.
    NOTE: Confirm that the valve moves freely and does not become stuck in any position.

    If necessary, replace the OCV assy.

    HINT:

    If the valve cannot return properly because of foreign matter, a small pressure leak in the advanced direction may occur and a DTC will be output.

    Standard: 

    ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSY - RESISTANCE TABLE

    Tester Connection Specified Condition
    2 (VPA2) - 3 (EP1) 5.0 kΩ or less
    5 (VPA1) - 1 (EP2) 5.0 kΩ or less
    6 (VCP1) - 3 (EP1) 2.25 to 4.75 kΩ
    4 (VCP2) - 1 (EP2) 2.25 to 4.75 kΩ

    If the result is not as specified, replace the pedal assy.

  4. INSPECT THROTTLE BODY ASSY 
    1. Measure the resistance between the terminals.

    Standard: 

    THROTTLE BODY ASSY - RESISTANCE TABLE

    Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
    2 (M+) - 1 (M-) 20°C (68°F) 0.3 to 100 Ω
    5 (VC) - 3 (E2) 20°C (68°F) 1.2 to 3.2 kΩ

    If the result is not as specified, replace the throttle body assy.

  5. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR 
    1. Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2.
      2. Fig 5: Checking Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
      G04391276Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002

    Standard: 

    ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR - RESISTANCE TABLE

    Condition Specified Condition
    Approx. 20°C (68°F) 2.32 to 2.59 kΩ
    Approx. 80°C (176°F) 0.310 to 0.326 kΩ

    If the result is not as specified, replace the sensor.

    NOTE: If checking the engine coolant temperature sensor in the water, keep the terminals dry. After the check, wipe the sensor dry.
  6. INSPECT KNOCK SENSOR 
    1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

    Standard: 120 to 280 kΩ at 20°C (68°F) 

    HINT:

    If the result is not as specified, replace the sensor.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
