Check Spark Plug Cable
Visually/physically inspect the following items:
Damage, cracks and flashover
Measure the resistance of the spark plug cable
Specification : 5.6kΩ/m ± 20% at 20℃(68℉)
Is the measured resistance within specifications ?
YES
▶ Go to "Check Spark Plug" as below.
NO
▶ Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
Check Spark Plug
Ignition "OFF"
Disconnect Spark Plug Cable and remove Spark Plug.
Measure Spark Plug Gap using a wire gap gauge.
Specification : 1.0 ~1.1mm (0.039 ~ 0.043inch)
Is the measured resistance within specifications ?
YES
▶ Go to "Check Ignition Coil" as below.
NO
▶ Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
Check Ignition Coil
Ignition "OFF"
Disconnect Ignition Coil connector.
Measure the secondary coil resistance between the high-voltage terminals of the ignition coil.
Specification : Approx. 20kΩ ± 15% (20℃(68℉))
Is the measured resistance within specifications ?
YES
▶ Substitute with a known - good PCM and check for proper operation.
▶ If the problem is corrected, replace PCM and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO
▶ Substitute with a known - good Ignition Coil and check for proper operation.
▶ If the problem is corrected, replace Ignition Coil and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair"procedure.
