Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF for 90 seconds, disconnect the harness connector at the affected ignition coil/modules.
  2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Test for less than 5 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  5. Exchange the affected ignition coil/module with the ignition coil/module of a good cylinder.
  6. Start the engine, and observe the scan tool Misfire Current Cylinder parameters.
    • If the misfire transfers with the suspect ignition coil/module, replace as needed.
  7. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the spark plugs.
