Inspection Procedure

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1. Check voltage between terminal 1 of Igniter connector 12 and body ground.
- Disconnect igniter connector 12 (Connector 12 color is dark gray).





- Turn Ignition Switch ON. Measure voltage between terminal 1 of igniter connector 12 and body gound.

Voltage: 9 - 14 volts.

- If OK proceed to step 2.
- If not OK check and repair Igniter power source circuit.
2. Check voltage between terminals 2 to 7 of Igniter connector 12 and body ground.





- Measure voltage between terminals 2 to 7 of igniter connector 12 and body ground.

Voltage: 9 - 14 volts.

- If not OK proceed to step 3.
- If OK proceed to step 4.
3. Check Ignition Coil.
- Disconnect Ignition Coil connector ( Refer to the wiring diagram and inspect the ignition coil connected to the terminal which was without voltage in step 2).





- Measure resistance between terminals of Ignition Coil connector.

Resistance: Cold 0.54 - 0.84 ohms / Hot 0.68 - 0.98 ohms

- If OK check for open and short in harness and connector between Junction Box No. 1 and Ignition Coil, Ignition Coil and Igniter
- If not OK replace Ignition Coil.
4. Check continuity between terminal 7 of Igniter connector I15 and body ground.
- Disconnect Igniter connector I15 (Connector I15 is black).





- Check continuity between terminal 7 of Igniter connector I15 and body ground.

Continuity: 1 ohm or less

- If OK proceed to step 5.
- If not OK repair or replace harness or connector.
5. Check voltage between terminal 8 of Igniter connector I15 and body ground.





- Measure voltage between terminal 8 of Igniter connector I15 and body ground.

Voltage: 4.5 - 5.5 volts

- If not OK proceed to step 6.
- If OK proceed to step 7.
6. Check for open and short in harness and connector between terminal IGF of Engine Control Module and Igniter.
- If OK check and replace Engine Control Module.
- If not OK repair or replace harness or connector.
7. Check for open and short in harness and connector between terminals IGT1 - 6 of Engine Control Module and Igniter.
- If OK proceed to step 8.
- If not OK repair or replace harness or connector.
8. Check voltage between terminals IGT1 to 6 of Engine Control Module and body ground.
- Remove glove compartment. Leave igniter connector I15 disconnected.





- Measure voltage between terminals IGT1 to 6 of Engine Control Module and body ground when engine is cranked.

Voltage: 0.5 to 1.0 V (Neither 0.0 volts nor 5.0 volts)

- If OK replace Igniter
- If not OK check and replace Engine Control Module.
