ECU Diagnostic Codes for 4A Engines
The following codes apply to all Toyota 4A series engines.
*
4A-GE
*
4A-GZE
*
4A-GE 20V
Some codes may not exist in earlier or non-applicable engine ECU's but all codes are common between 4A and many other Toyota ECU. It is essential that you do have the proper manuals and skills necessary to perform diagnostic and repairs. This diagram is to assist those who are qualified in obtaining some information out of the ECU on cars equipped with factory units.
Diagnosis System: To obtain output, proceed as follows.
Initial conditions must be met for codes to appear in normal output.
*
1. Battery Voltage must be 11V or more
*
2. Throttle valves must be fully closed (on newer engines)
*
3. Accessories switched off
*
4. Engine at operating temperature
Turn the ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine)
Short terminals TE1 and E1 of the check connector of the diagnosis connector cluster.
Diagnostic Codes:
Normal Operation: (no malfunction)
*
the light will alternatively blink ON and OFF at 0.26 second intervals.
Malfunction Codes Indication
*
In the event of a registered malfunction, the light will blink every 0.52 second. The first series of blinks will equal the 1st digit of a 2 digit code and after a 1.5second pause, the second series of blinks will indicate the 2nd digit.
*
If there are 2 or more codes, there will be a 2.5 seconds pause between each signaled codes.
*
After all codes have flashed, there will be a 4.5 second interval and the codes will repeat until TE1 and E1 has been disconnected.
2-Trip detection logic:
*
Diagnostic Codes 20-29 are usually indicated with 2 -trip logic. This means that the ECU will need two repeated engine operational cycles, with the same problem for the code to be indicated, minimizing the false codes. The ignition must be switched OFF between the 2 successive engine operations.
Test Mode: (1989 and later ECU, with variation in models))
In this mode, the ECU will have increased sensing ability for malfunction detection. It can also detect starter signal circuit, and air conditioning components. The same codes also will be detected as those of the normal modes.
*
In the same manner and conditions as the normal diagnostic, short the TE2 and E1 of the diagnostic connector. Turn ignition ON to begin diagnosis in TEST mode.
*
To check that the TEST mode is operational, confirm that the warning light flashes with ignition in ON position.
*
Start the engine and drive the vehicle at or faster than 10km/h (6mph). If the speed fails to reach this the ECU will falsely report that the starter and speed sensor is malfunctioning. (code 41 and 42)
*
After test drive, short connectors TE1 and E1
*
Read diagnostic codes.
*
be sure to Remove SST from check connector when finished.
Warning: Test mode will not start if terminals are shorted after ignition is turned ON. Code 51 (AC compressor switch signal) is erratic by nature and will sometimes come on without malfunction.
The following are some common codes for easy troubleshooting, there are others which I will add at a later time when my list is more complete.

Cortez írta:kösz gaborbol, közbe én is rájöttem a két számra közbe végigolvastam én is pacsker leírását, de most már tudom azt is mit is jelent hála neked
. de amúgy elviszem szakszervízbe átnézetem tüzetesebben, remélem meg fogja érni a pénzét. ja és engem is érdekelne az a hibakód "szótár" ha van neked.
Most, hogy belinkeltem ide, olvasom, hogy 1989-től még érzékenyebb az ecu diagnosztikai része, és van már teszt mód is.
(francba, az enyém csak 88-as
)
Kösd össze a TE2 és E1 érintkezőket, és add rá a gyújtást, ezzel belépsz a teszt módba. Ezt onnan is látod, hogy amint ráraktad a gyújtást, elkezd a figyelmeztető lámpa villogni.
Indítsd el a motort és menj legalább 10km/h órával vagy gyorsabban,
Ha ezt nem tartod be akkor az ecu hamis adatokat fog adni. Amint megvagy a vezetéssel, kösd össze TE1 és E1 érzékelőket és olvasd ki ismét a hibakódot.
Ha kész vagy ne felejtsd el kiszedni az átkötést valamint figyelmeztet, hogy először átkötni és csak aztán gyújtás, nem fordítva, különben nem jön be a teszt mód.
Ha kipróbálod kíváncsi vagyok, hogy más lesz e a hibakód.
Tibcsi nem tud segíteni?
Pacsker féle service manuálból meg talán ki lehet deríteni, hogy a kérdéses alkatrészeket, hogy kell alkatrészeket megvizsgálni.Elég jó az a könyv ,ahogy nézegettem.
Tévedtem?
