Diagnosis Procedure

  1. INSPECTION START

    Turn ignition switch to START.

    Is any cylinder ignited? 

    Yes or No 

    Yes: GO TO 2.

    No: GO TO  3.

  2. CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION

    With CONSULT-III 

    1. Start engine.
    2. Perform "POWER BALANCE" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-III.
    3. Make sure that each circuit produces a momentary engine speed drop.
