INSPECT SPARK TEST
1. |
Remove the spark plug
cable. |
2. |
Using a spark plug socket, remove the spark
plug. |
3. |
Install the spark plugs to each spark plug
cable. |
4. |
Ground the spark
plugs. |
5. |
Check if spark occurs while engine is being
cranked.
To prevent gasoline from being injected
from injectors during this test, disconnect the injector
connectors.
Be sure to clean away DTC codes the
timing is complete after. |

|
6. |
Using a spark plug socket, install the spark
plugs. |
7. |
Install the spark plug
cable. |
INSPECT SPARK PLUG AND SPARK PLUG CABLE
1. |
Remove the spark plug cable(A).
When removing the spark plug cable, pull
on the spark plug cable boot (not the cable), as it may be
damaged. | |
2. |
Using a spark plug socket, remove the spark
plug(B).
Be careful that no contaminats enter
through the spark plug
holes. | |
3. |
Inspect the electrodes(A) and ceramic
insulator(B).

in.)
|

|
5. |
Carefully remove the spark plug cable by
pulling on the rubber boots(A).
Check the condition of the spark plug cable
terminals(B), If any terminal is corroded, clean it, and if it's
broken or distorted, replace the spark plug cable.

|
6. |
Connect the ohmmeter probes and measure
resistance.
RESISTANCE : 5.6KΩ/m ±
20%
|

|
7. |
Resistance should not be higher than 2.6kΩ per
meter of cable.
If resistance is higher, replace the
cable. |
INSPECT IGNITION COIL
1. |
Measure the primary coil resistance between
terminals 1, 2 and 1,3.

Standard value : 0.58Ω ±
10%
| |
2. |
Measure the secondary coil resistance between
the high-voltage terminal for the No.1 and No.4 cylinders, and
between the high-voltage terminals for the No.2 and No.3
cylinders.
Standard value : 8.8kΩ ±
15%
|
Be sure, when measuring the resistnace
of the secondary coil, to disconnect the connector of the
ignition coil. |

|
1. |
Measurement of the primary coil
resistance
Measure the resistance between connector
terminals 1 and 2 (the coils at the No.3 and No.6 cylinder sides) fo
the ignition coil, and between terminals 2 and 4 (the coils at the
No.2 and No.5 cylinder sides), and between terminals 2 and 3 (the
coils at the No.1 and No. 4 cylinder sides).

|
2. |
Measurement of the secondary coil
resistance
Measure the resistance between the
high-voltage terminal for the No.3 and No.6 cylinders, between the
high-voltage terminals for the No.1 and No.4 cylinders and between
the high-voltage terminals for the No.2 and No.5
cylinders.
When measuring the resistance of the
secondary coil, be sure to disconnect the connector of the
ignition coil. |
