Inspection Procedure

NOTE:

The vehicle MUST be diagnosed following a cold soak. If the vehicle is at operating temperature, the condition will NOT be present.

1. Monitor the following Data List parameter: Short FT #1 (Short Term Fuel Trim for Bank 1).

Using TIS techstream, select:

Connect to Vehicle/Engine and ECT/Data List/Short FT #1.

2. Following conventional diagnostic procedure, confirm if there is a leak where the intake manifold and cylinder head meet between each intake runner.

 

2. Did the short term fuel trim change to a rich reading (negative fuel trim) in step 2?
   • If YES — Replace the intake manifold gasket.
   • If NO — Check for other vacuum leaks or lean running conditions per the Technical Information System (TIS).

 

Repair Procedure

1. Drain the engine coolant.

Refer to TIS:

• 2003 or 2004 model year Corolla Repair Manual, Engine/Hybrid System – Cooling – “Coolant: Replacement”
• 2005 model year Corolla Repair Manual, Engine/Hybrid System – Cooling -“Engine Coolant (1ZZ-FE): Replacement”
• 2006, 2007, or 2008 model year Corolla Repair Manual, Engine/Hybrid System – Cooling – “1ZZ-FE Cooling: Coolant: On-Vehicle Inspection”
