IGNITION SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
M1163000100528
This system is provided with six ignition coils with
built-in ignition power transistors for each of the cylin-
ders.
Interruption of the primary current flowing in the pri-
mary side of ignition coil generates a high voltage in
the secondary side of ignition coil.
The engine control unit (ECU) controls the three
ignition power transistors to turn them alternately ON
and OFF. This causes the primary currents in the
ignition coils to be alternately interrupted and allowed
to flow to fire the cylinders in the order 1-2-3-4-5-6.
The ECU determines which ignition coil should be
controlled by means of the signals from the camshaft
position sensor which is incorporated in the camshaft
and from the crankshaft position sensor which is
incorporated in the crankshaft.
It also detects the crankshaft position to provide igni-
tion at the most appropriate timing in response to the
engine operation conditions.
When the engine is cold or operated at high alti-
tudes, the ignition timing is slightly advanced to pro-
vide optimum performance.

IGNITION COIL CHECK
M1163001200380
Check by the following procedure, and replace the coil if there
is a malfunction.
.
PRIMARY COIL AND IGNITION POWER
TRANSISTOR CONTINUITY CHECK
NOTE: No test can be performed on the Primary side of coil.
.
SECONDARY COIL CHECK
NOTE: It is impossible to check the secondary coil through the
continuity check as a diode is integrated in the secondary coil
circuit of this ignition coil. Accordingly, check the secondary coil
in the following procedure.
1. Disconnect the ignition coil connector.
2. Remove the ignition coil and install a new spark plug to the
ignition coil.
3. Connect the ignition coil connector.
4. Disable vehicle fuel pump by removing fuel pump relay or
disconnecting fuel pump connector D-18 (under rear seat).
5. Ground the side electrode of the spark plug and crank the
engine.
6. Check that spark is produced between the electrodes of the
spark plug.
7. If no spark is produced, replace the ignition coil with a new
one and recheck.
8. If spark is produced with the new ignition coil, replace the
old one as it is faulty. If no spark is produced again, the
ignition circuit is suspected as faulty. Check the ignition
circuit.

SPARK PLUG TEST
M1163001500143
1. Remove the spark plug and connect to the ignition coil.
2. Ground the spark plug outer electrode (body), and crank the
engine.
Check that there is an electrical discharge between the
electrodes at this time.
SPARK PLUG CHECK AND CLEANING
M1163004300397
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to adjust the gap of the iridium plug.
• Cleaning of the iridium plug may result in damage to
the iridium tips. Therefore, if carbon deposits must be
removed, use a plug cleaner and complete cleaning
within 20 seconds to protect the electrode. Do not use a
wire brush.
Check the plug gap and replace if the limit is exceeded.
