On-Vehicle Inspection
NOTE:
"Cold" and "Hot" in this article mean the temperature of the coils themselves. "Cold" is from -10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F) and "Hot" is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F).
- INSPECT IGNITION COIL WITH IGNITER AND PERFORM SPARK TEST
- Check for DTCs.NOTE: If any DTC is present, perform troubleshooting in accordance with the procedures for that DTC.
- Check that spark occurs.
- Set the vehicle to inspection mode. (See PRECAUTION )
- Warm up and stop the engine.
- Remove the intake air surge tank. (See
REMOVAL
)NOTE: If the throttle body connector is disconnected because the DTC is detected in inspection, always reconnect it.
- Disconnect the 6 injector connectors.
- Remove the ignition coils with igniter.NOTE: If the ignition coil assembly connector is disconnected because the DTC is detected in inspection, always reconnect it.
- Using a 16 mm (0.63 in.) plug wrench, remove the spark plugs.
- Install the spark plugs to each ignition coil with igniter.
- Ground the spark plugs.
- Connect the Techstream (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3.NOTE: Check the fully charged battery to indicate HV battery voltage in ECU data monitor.
- Enter ACTIVE TEST MODE on the Techstream.
- Check if a spark occurs at each spark plug while the engine is being cranked.NOTE:
- Be sure to ground the spark plug when checking.
- Replace the ignition coil if physical impact is applied to it.
- Do not crank the engine for more than 2 seconds.
- Spark test flow chart.
- Check that the wire harness side connector of the ignition coil with igniter is securely connected.
