MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When the sensor output voltage remains at less than 0.3 V, or higher than 4.7 V for 4 seconds, the ECM stores a DTC.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC P0016 (LandCruiser RM00000187G09KX_02.html).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (LandCruiser RM0000012XK0AVX.html) and initialization (LandCruiser RM000000TIN08IX.html).
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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.CHECK DTC OUTPUT

  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

  1. Clear the DTCs (LandCruiser RM000000PDK1ENX.html).

  1. Turn the engine switch off for 30 seconds or more.

  1. Disconnect the camshaft position sensor connector.

  1. Turn the engine switch on (IG) for 4 seconds or more.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

  1. Check whether the DTC changes when the connector is disconnected and connected.

  1. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Voltage:
    Tester Connection
    		Switch Condition
    		Specified Condition
    C152-17 (VCG) - C152-18 (G2-)
    		Engine switch on (IG)
    		4.5 to 5.5 V

3.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - ECM)

  1. Disconnect the camshaft position sensor connector.

  1. Disconnect the ECM connector.

  1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Resistance:

    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    C170-1 (G22+) - C152-27 (G2+)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω
    C170-2 (G22-) - C152-18 (G2-)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω
    C170-1 (G22+) or C152-27 (G2+) - Body ground and other terminals
    		Always
    		10 kΩ or higher
    C170-2 (G22-) or C152-18 (G2-) - Body ground and other terminals
    		Always
    		10 kΩ or higher

  1. Reconnect the camshaft position sensor connector.
