.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The battery positive voltage is applied on the igni-

tion coil by the ignition switch-IG.

• When the ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> turns the

power transistor in the ECM <M/T> or PCM
<A/T> "OFF", battery positive voltage is applied
on the ignition power transistor (terminal No. 3),
and the ignition power transistor turns "ON".

• When the ignition power transistor turns on, the

ignition coil's primary circuit is grounded by the
ignition power transistor terminal No. 4. Then the
primary current flows to the ignition coil.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this case: )

• Malfunction of the ignition coil.

• Malfunction of the ignition power transistor.

• Improper connector contact, open circuit or

short-circuited harness wire.

• Malfunction of the ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T>.

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check connector B-22 at distributor for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then confirm that the

malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 2. Check the ignition coil.
Refer to GROUP 16, Ignition System

− On-vehicle service −

Ignition coil check

P.16-38

.

Q: Are there any abnormalities?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair the ignition coil. Then confirm that the

malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 3. Check the ignition power transistor.
Refer to GROUP 16, Ignition System

− On-vehicle service −

Power transistor check

P.16-38

.

Q: Are there any abnormalities?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair the ignition power transistor. Then confirm that

the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 4. Check the power supply voltage at distributor
connector B-22.
(1) Disconnect the connector B-22 and measure at the harness

side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 1 and ground.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts)

present?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Check connector C-07, C-89, C-108 and C-111 at

intermediate connectors for damage, and repair or
replace as required. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness
Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. If intermediate

connectors are in good condition, repair harness wire
between ignition switch connector C-87 terminal 2
and distributor connector B-22 (terminal No. 1)
because of open circuit. Then confirm that the
malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 5. Check the continuity at distributor harness side
connector B-22.
(1) Disconnect the connector B-22 and measure at the harness

side.

(2) Check for the continuity between terminal No. 4 and

ground.

• Should be less than 2 ohms.

Q: Is the continuity normal?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair harness wire between distributor connector

B-22 (terminal No. 4) and ground because of open
circuit or harness damage. Then confirm that the
malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 6. Check connector C-51 at ECM <M/T> or connector
C-52 at PCM <A/T> for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

P.00E-2

. Then confirm that the

malfunction symptom is eliminated.
