DESCRIPTION

A Direct Ignition System (DIS) is used on this vehicle.
The DIS is a 1-cylinder ignition system in which each cylinder is ignited by one ignition coil and one spark plug is connected to the end of each secondary wiring. A powerful voltage, generated in the secondary wiring, is applied directly to each spark plug. The sparks of the spark plugs pass from the center electrode to the ground electrodes.
The ECM determines the ignition timing and transmits the ignition (IGT) signals to each cylinder. Using the IGT signal, the ECM turns the power transistor inside the igniter on and off. The power transistor, in turn, switches on and off the current to the primary coil. When the current to the primary coil is cut off, a powerful voltage is generated in the secondary coil. This voltage is applied to the spark plugs, causing them to spark inside the cylinders. As the ECM cuts the current to the primary coil, the igniter sends back an ignition confirmation (IGF) signal to the ECM, for each cylinder ignition.
HINT:
- These DTCs indicate malfunctions relating to the primary circuit.
- If DTC P0351 is set, check the No. 1 ignition coil circuit.
- If DTC P0352 is set, check the No. 2 ignition coil circuit.
- If DTC P0353 is set, check the No. 3 ignition coil circuit.
- If DTC P0354 is set, check the No. 4 ignition coil circuit.

- Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope.
- While cranking or idling the engine, check the waveform between terminals IGT (1 to 4) and E1, and IGF1 and E1 of the ECM connector.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If the ECM does not receive any IGF signals despite transmitting the IGT signal, it interprets this as a fault in the igniter and sets a DTC.
If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is set 1 second after the engine is next started.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: Read freeze frame data using a Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT IGNITION COIL ASSEMBLY (POWER SOURCE)

(a) Disconnect the ignition coil connectors.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for open):

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(d) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage:

(e) Reconnect the ignition coil connectors.
NG -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (IGNITION COIL - INTEGRATION RELAY)
OK -- Continue to next step.
2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (IGNITION COIL - ECM)

(a) Disconnect the ignition coil connectors.
(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for open):

Standard resistance (Check for open):

Standard resistance (Check for short):

(d) Reconnect the ECM connector.
(e) Reconnect the ignition coil connectors.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0351, P0352, P0353 OR P0354)
(a) Connect a Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Turn the tester ON.
(d) Clear DTCs DTC Check / Clear.
(e) Shuffle arrangement of the ignition coils with igniters (among No. 1 to No. 4 cylinders).
NOTICE: Do not shuffle the connectors.
(f) Perform a simulation test.
(g) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
(h) Read DTCs.
Result:

B -- REPLACE IGNITION COIL
A -- REPLACE ECM
4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (IGNITION COIL - INTEGRATION RELAY)

(a) Disconnect the ignition coil connectors.
(b) Remove the integration relay (IG2 relay) from the engine room relay block Removal.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for open):

Standard resistance (Check for short):

(d) Reinstall the integration relay.
(e) Reconnect the ignition coil connectors.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- REPAIR OR REPLACE ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT
