WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC P2120 (Toyota Fortuner RM0000018WX02ZX_02.html).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Toyota Fortuner RM0000012XK030X.html) and initialization (Toyota Fortuner RM0000012X2005X.html).
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

  1. Disconnect the A22 sensor connector.

  1. Disconnect the E4 ECM connector.

  1. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

    Standard resistance (Check for open):
    Tester Connection
    Specified Condition
    VCP2 (A22-1) - VCP2 (E4-27)
    Below 1 Ω
    EPA2 (A22-2) - EPA2 (E4-29)
    Below 1 Ω
    VPA2 (A22-3) - VPA2 (E4-23)
    Below 1 Ω
    VCPA (A22-4) - VCPA (E4-26)
    Below 1 Ω
    EPA (A22-5) - EPA (E4-28)
    Below 1 Ω
    VPA (A22-6) - VPA (E4-22)
    Below 1 Ω
    Standard resistance (Check for short):
    Tester Connection
    Specified Condition
    VCP2 (A22-1) or VCP2 (E4-27) - Body ground
    10 kΩ or higher
    EPA2 (A22-2) or EPA2 (E4-29) - Body ground
    10 kΩ or higher
    VPA2 (A22-3) or VPA2 (E4-23) - Body ground
