In the following section, the terms "cold" and "hot" refer to the temperature of the coils. "Cold"means approximately -10 °C (14 °F) to 50 °C (122 °F). "Hot" means approximately 50 °C (122 °F) to 100 °C (212 °F).


  1. INSPECT IGNITION COIL ASSY (WITH IGNITER) AND PERFORM SPARK TEST


    1. Check for DTCs.

      Note

      If a DTC is present, perform troubleshooting in accordance with the procedure for that DTC.

    2. Check if sparks occur.


      1. Remove the ignition coils.

      2. Using a 16 mm plug wrench, remove the spark plugs.
