BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING
CONNECTOR HANDLING
1. Disconnect the battery plug before connecting or
disconnecting each connector or terminal.
2. When unplugging a connector, first remove the lock then,
without pulling the harness, pull out the connector while
holding the main unit.
To connect, push the connector fully until it is locked in
position.

3. When applying tester probes, always do so from the rear of the


connector (harness side).
4. When this is not possible, such as with waterproof tester
probes, make sure that inserting will not deform the connector
terminal.
5. Do not touch connector terminals directly with your hand.
6. When bringing tester probes into contact with live terminals,
prevent two tester probes from coming into contact with each
other.

WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR


INSPECTION PROCEDURE
When any trouble occurs, first inspect the connectors and wire
harness of the related circuit according to the following procedure.

Continuity Inspection
1. Disconnect connectors at both ends of the relevant harness.
2. Measure the resistance between corresponding terminals of
the connectors at both ends.
Standard: 10 Ω or less
Note:
Move the wire harness slightly from side to side and up and
down while measuring.
Reference:
The cause of disconnections is almost always the connector as
disconnections in the vehicle's central wiring are rare. Inspect
especially the sensor connectors with sufficient care.

Short Circuit Check


1. Disconnect connectors at both ends of the relevant harness.
2. Measure the resistance between the corresponding connector
terminal and N1. Always inspect the connectors at both ends.
Standard: 1 MΩ or above
Note:
Move the wire harness slightly from side to side and up and
down while measuring.
3-3

3. Measure the resistance between the relative terminals of the


appricable connector.
Standard: 1 MΩ or above
Note:
The wiring may short-circuit due to pinching by the body or 0
defective clamping.
1
2
Visual and Contact Pressure Checks 3
1. Disconnect connectors at both ends of the relevant harness.
2. Perform a visual check to make sure that there is no rust or
4
foreign matter contaminating the connector terminal.
3. Check that the caulking is not loose or damaged, and, after
5
checking that there is no damage, gently tug the connector or
wire harness to make sure that it cannot be pulled out. 6
7
4. Insert a male terminal same as that of the terminal to a female 8
connector and check the extracting force.
Defective contact may exist at a terminal where the extracting
force is less than that of other terminals.
9
Note:
If a problem, such as rust or foreign matter on the terminal, or
10
a drop in the contact pressure of male/female terminals
occurs, a solution that often works is simply disconnecting 11
and re-connecting the connected connector to change the
contact conditions. Try disconnecting and re-connecting 12
several times. If such a defect is recognized, it is likely that
there is a defective terminal contact.

BEFORE BEGINNING TROUBLESHOOTING


It is not appropriate to begin trouble shooting for the 4Y engine on the basis of results only. It can lead to mistaken
corrective action, wasted time, and sometimes to an increase in abnormalities. Therefore, please pay careful
attention to the details surrounding the time when a fault occurs, to be supplied by the customer based on the
following.

Diagnostic Procedure
First, it is necessary to get the "fault history and service history" for the vehicle, and then to gather definite
information about the fault occurrence such as "when", "at what times", "in what places", "during what operations or
actions", and "what happened afterwards".
Also, try to recreate the conditions for the fault occurrence. (a. The fault cannot be recreated, b. The fault can be
recreated: Upon doing what?)

DIAGNOSIS (SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION)


GENERAL
When the computer detects a problem in the system, the fault is made known by a lighting a warning lamp and
displaying an error code on the combination meter, while at the same time failsafe functions operate to stop the 0
engine or control the engine to a low speed.

Diagnosis display system

ANALYZER
EXPLANATION
Analyzer function supports operations for inspecting/investigating faulty section by displaying the condition of the
control system, using communication between each controller and the multifunction display or plug-in analyzer.
By switching the multifunction display to analyzer mode, or connect the plug-in analyzer to the diagnosis connector,
operative conditions of the sensor actuator that is used for traveling functions, or the error information detected by
the controller can be read. This is very useful for checking operative condition of each function and saving time for
repairing when there is a defect.
The analyzer functions can be used to make servicing faster and easier.
Refer to 8FG series repair manual for how to use the analyzer functions.

The analyzer functions include the following functions.


1. Diagnosis memory function (DIAG MEMORY)
The controller stores a maximum of the past 10 error codes (diagnosis codes) for faults that have occurred in the
electrical system. The diagnosis function is the function that reads these error codes and displays them on the
display.
The error code and its time of occurrence as a key ON hour meter time are displayed on the display.
2. In/out monitor function (I/O MONITOR)
This function displays the analog input value of each sensor relating to driving, material handling, FHRS, SAS,
and OPS on the display. By monitoring this display it is possible to judge whether each circuit and sensor has a
fault or not.
I/O ENGINE CTRL: The display shows various kinds of input value such as the analog input voltage from each
sensor to the controller, as well as control correction values and the status of the output to
the relay.

ABOUT TROUBLE SHOOTING BY ERROR CODES


1. Defective contact of connectors may cause error codes to appear and disappear. Therefore before performing
troubleshooting, check the battery cable connection, turn the key switch ON, and check that the error code
appears.
If the error code does not appear, inspect the connection status of the relevant connector.
2. Once an error occurs, the error code is stored in the controller. Even if an error code appears only temporarily
and then disappears due to a defective contact, the error code will still be stored.
3. This volume contains a flow chart relating to symptoms that are particular to LPG.
When an error code is showing, refer to 8FG Repair Manual and perform inspection and repair first. When an
error code is not showing, refer to the page for the relevant symptom and perform inspection and repair.

z <DOES NOT START> STARTING MOTOR TURNS OVER BUT ENGINE DOES NOT START
Probable cause
• Ignition system defect (When combustion does not start)
• Fuel system defect (When combustion does start, but does not continue.)
• Regulator primary pressure abnormality during cranking (When the pressure is high there is a possibility of rich
air-fuel ratio)
Note:
When low vapour pressure LPG fuel is used in winter, engine may stall when longer idling or while traveling
and be difficult to start immediately afterwards. In this case pour warm water over the LPG regulator to
vaporize the fuel, and at the same time turn the LPG switch OFF to stop the fuel supply momentarily and
crank after fully opening the accelerator.

Probable cause
• Charging system
• LPG regulator primary pressure adjustment defect
• Air leak in (over-lean) intake system
• Ignition timing defect
• Idling air-fuel ratio adjustment defect
• LPG slow solenoid defect
• Injector defect
Note:
• Pay attention to the warning light lighting when the engine stall occurs.
• Be careful about inappropriate LPG in winter (low vaporization pressure).
• When using low vaporization pressure fuel, if the engine stalls during idling, or when travelling when the
engine is not sufficiently warmed up, there is a high possibility that the air-fuel ratio is over-rich. Open
the accelerator up fully and crank it for a while, and wait for the engine to start.
