Code 15: Ignition Output Signal
- Turn ignition off. Remove fuse No. 15 (ACG) fuse from underdash fuse box for 10 seconds to reset ECU. Check ECU for fault codes. See RETRIEVING CODES
. If Code 15 is not present, problem is intermittent. Check for poor connections at ECU and ignitor unit connectors. Test drive vehicle and retest.
- If Code 15 is present, turn ignition off. Disconnect 8-wire connector from ignitor unit. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between terminal "C" and terminal "F". See Fig 1

) between ECU and ECU connector. See Figure
. Check for continuity between body ground and test terminals A21, A22, B3, B4, B6 and B8. If continuity is present at any terminal, repair short circuit.
- If continuity is not present, check for continuity between ignitor unit 6-wire connector terminal and corresponding terminal at ECU connector. See ECU/IGNITOR UNIT CONNECTOR TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION
table. If continuity is not present, repair open circuit. If continuity is present, substitute a known good ignitor. If symptom/condition goes away, replace original ignitor. If symptom/condition does not go away, substitute a known good ECU. If symptom/condition goes away, replace original ECU.
