Pinout Values and Diagnostic Parameters
2ZR-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: TERMINALS OF ECM
HINT
The standard normal voltage between each pair of the ECM terminals is shown in the table below. The appropriate conditions for checking each pair of the terminals are also indicated. The result of checks should be compared with the standard normal voltage for that pair of the terminals, and displayed in the "Specified Conditions" column. The illustration above can be used as a reference to identify the ECM terminal locations.
HINT
*1: The ECM terminal voltage is constant regardless of the output voltage from the sensor.
1. WAVEFORM 1
Igniter IGT Signal (from ECM to Igniter)
HINT
The wavelength becomes shorter as the engine speed increases.
2. WAVEFORM 2
Crankshaft Position Sensor
HINT
The wavelength becomes shorter as the engine rpm increases.
3. WAVEFORM 3
Camshaft Position Sensors
HINT
The wavelength becomes shorter as the engine rpm increases.
4. WAVEFORM 4
No. 1 (to No. 4) Injector Signal
HINT
The wavelength becomes shorter as the engine speed increases.
5. WAVEFORM 5
Air Fuel Ratio Sensor (Sensor 1) Heater
HINT
The wavelength varies in accordance with the engine operating condition.
6. WAVEFORM 6

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.
