  • If DTC P0358 is displayed, check No. 8 ignition coil circuit.

A Direct Ignition System (DIS) is used on this vehicle.

The DIS is a 1-cylinder ignition system which ignites one cylinder with one ignition coil. In the 1-cylinder ignition system, the one spark plug is connected to the end of the secondary winding. High voltage generated in the secondary winding is applied directly to the spark plug. The spark of the spark plug passes from the center electrode to the ground electrode.

The ECM determines the ignition timing and outputs the ignition signals (IGTs) for each cylinder. Using the IGTs, the ECM turns the power transistor inside the igniter on/off, which switches on/off current to the primary coil. When current to the primary coil is cut off, high voltage is generated in the secondary coil and this voltage is applied to the spark plugs to create sparks inside the cylinders. As the ECM cuts current to the primary coil, the igniter sends back ignition confirmation signals (IGFs) for each cylinder ignition to the ECM.

    Equipment Settings

    2 V/DIV.

    20 msec./DIV.

    Condition

    Cranking or idling

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If the ECM does not receive an IGF after sending an IGT, it interprets this as a fault in the igniter and sets a DTC. The monitor runs for 1 second (the first second of engine idle) after the engine is started.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, 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.
