CIRCUIT OPERATION

｠

The battery positive voltage is applied from the MFI
relay to the ignition coil (terminal No.3) and is
grounded to the vehicle body via the ignition coil
(terminal No.1).

｠

A power voltage of 12 V is applied to the ignition coil
(terminal No. 3) from the ECM (terminal No. 4, No.
5, No. 20, No. 21, No. 52 and No. 53).

COMMENT

｠

When the ECM turn the power transistor in the unit
to OFF, the battery positive voltage is applied to the
power transistor in the ignition coil, resulting that the
power transistor is ON. And, when the ECM turns
the power transistor in the unit to ON, the power
transistor in the ignition coil will be turned OFF.

｠

When the power transistor in the ignition coil is
turned to ON with any signal from the ECM, the
primary voltage will be applied through the ignition
coil.When the power transistor in the ignition coil is
turned OFF, the primary current is blocked and high
voltage is generated in the secondary coil.

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

｠

Malfunction of the ignition coil.

｠

Improper connector contact, open circuit or short-
circuit harness wire.

｠

Malfunction of the ECM.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check the ignition coil.

(1)

Remove the intake manifold.

(2)

Refer to GROUP 16, Ignition System - On-vehicle service -
Ignition Coil Check P.16c-3.

Q:Are there any abnormalities?

YES:

Replace the ignition coil. Then confirm that the

malfunction symptom is eliminated.

NO:

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check harness connectors harness connector B-10
at ECM and harness connector A-33X at MFI relay and B-01,
B-04, B-05, B-15, B-18, B-19 at ignition coil for damage.

Q:Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES:

Go to Step 3.

NO:

Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection P.00E-2. Then confirm that the
malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 3. Check the continuity at ignition coil connectors
B-01, B-04, B-05, B-15, B-18, B-19.

(1)

Disconnect the connector B-01, B-04, B-05, B-15, B-18 and
B-19 measure at the harness side.

(2)

Check for the continuity between terminal No. 2 and ground.

｠

Should be less than 2 ohms.

Q:Does continuity exist?

YES:

Go to Step 4.

NO:

Check the connector B-21 at intermediate connector

for damage, and repair or replace as required. Refer to
GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2. If
intermediate connector is in good condition, repair
harness wire between ignition coil connector ignition
coil connectors B-01, B-04, B-05, B-15, B-18 and B-19
(terminal No. 2) and ground because of open circuit or
harness damage. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom
is eliminated.

STEP 4. Check for open circuit and harness damage
between MFI relay connector and ignition coil connector.

NOTE:

Check harness after checking intermediate connectors

A-13 and B-21. If intermediate connectors are damaged,
repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector
Inspection. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is
eliminated.

(1)

Disconnect the MFI relay connector and ignition coil
connector.
