2JZ-GTE CEL error checking

2JZ OBD Engine error checking

The ECU stores an error code so that you can check for problems. Rather than requiring a bug diagnostics machine, you can use a simple paperclip, or a short wire. You use this to bridge the connections E1 and TE1 in the diagnostics port. For VVT-i versions please use Tc and E1 as ODB2 engines (mid 1996+) use Tc and E1 instead.”

For OBD2  codes please use a compatible OBD2 Scanner. The paperclip method won’t work well for those ECU’s when searching for error codes.
Also, Make sure you have de-immobilised your car as some immobilisers stop the engine light from flashing.

Here are the different types of plugs displayed (images taken from other sites/google):

  • Before proceeding, make sure the:
    • CHECK ENGINE light circuit is functional. It should be ON when the ignition switch is ON with the engine stopped.
    • Battery voltage is above 11 volts.
    • Throttle valve is fully closed (Throttle Position Sensor IDL points closed).
    • Accessory switches (A/C, etc.) are OFF.
    • Engine is at normal operating temperature (if possible).
  • Turn ignition switch to ON position.
    • Do not start the engine.
    • Place a jumper wire across TEl and El terminals in engine check connector.

 

 

  • Count number of flashes from CHECK ENGINE light.
    • If system is operating normally (with no detected faults), the CHECK ENGINE light will blink continuouslyand evenly about 2 times a second.
  • Otherwise, the light will blink a number of times equal to the trouble code as follows:
    • The light blinks only (.5 second ON, .5 second OFF) when indicating a number.
    • The light will be OFF for 1.5 seconds between the first digit and the second digit of the code.
    • If more than one code is stored, the light will be OFF for 2.5 seconds before the next code is displayed.
    • Once all code(s) have been displayed, the light will be OFF for 4.5 seconds and then the whole sequence will repeat.
  • The diagnostic code series will continue to repeat as long as the check connecter terminals TEl and El are connected.
  • When finished, remove the jumper wire.
  • After repairing the malfunction, clear the codes from the ECUs memory: Remove the EFI fuse (15A) for 30 seconds with the ignition switch OFF.
