Diagnosis Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step Action YES NO
1  CHECK ENGINE START 
Turn ignition switch OFF, and restart engine.
Is engine running? 
Yes or No 		 GO TO 2. GO TO 3.
2  CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION 
With SDT 
  1. Perform "POWER BALANCE" in "Active test" mode with SDT.
  2. Make sure that each circuit produces a momentary engine speed drop.

OK or NG 		 INSPECTION END  GO TO 10.
3  CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION 
Without SDT 
  1. Let engine idle.
  2. Read the voltage signal between ECM terminals 60, 61, 62, 79, 80, 81 and ground with an oscilloscope.

  1. 3. Verify that the oscilloscope screen shows the signal wave as shown below.
    NOTE: The pulse cycle changes depending on RPM at idle.

OK or NG 		 INSPECTION END  GO TO 10.
4  CHECK IGNITION COIL POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-I 
  1. Turn ignition switch OFF, wait at least 10 seconds and then turn it ON.
  2. Check voltage between ECM terminals 119, 120 and ground with SDT or tester.

  3. Check harness continuity between IPDM E/R terminal 3 and condenser-1 terminal 1. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

    Continuity should exist. 

  4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

OK or NG 		 GO TO 17. GO TO 7.
7  DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 
Check the following.
  • Harness connectors E2, F32
  • Harness for open or short between condenser-1 and IPDM E/R
 Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.  
8  CHECK CONDENSER-1 GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
  1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
  2. Check harness continuity between condenser-1 terminal 2 and ground.

    Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

    Continuity should exist. 

  3. Also check harness for short to power.

OK or NG 		 GO TO 9. Repair open circuit or short to power in harness or connectors.
9  CHECK CONDENSER-1 
Refer to [IGNITION SIGNAL CIRCUIT CHECK ].
OK or NG 		 GO TO 10. Replace condenser-1.
10  CHECK IGNITION COIL POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-V 
  1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
  2. Reconnect all harness connectors disconnected.
  3. Disconnect ignition coil harness connector.
