DESCRIPTION
A Direct Ignition System (DIS) is used on this vehicle.
The DIS is a 1-cylinder ignition system in which each cylinder is ignited by one ignition coil and one spark plug is connected to the end of each secondary wiring. A powerful voltage, generated in the secondary wiring, is applied directly to each spark plug. The spark of the spark plugs passes from the center electrode to the ground electrodes.
The ECM determines the ignition timing and transmits the ignition (IGT) signals to each cylinder. Using the IGT signal, the ECM turns the power transistor inside the igniter on and off. The power transistor, in turn, switches on and off the current to the primary coil. When the current to the primary coil is cut off, a powerful voltage is generated in the secondary coil. This voltage is applied to the spark plugs, causing them to spark inside the cylinders.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0351 | The ECM driver IC detects open and short in signal line circuit between No. 1 ignition coil and ECM (open circuit detected / GND short / +B short). (1 trip detection logic) |
|
| P0352 | The ECM driver IC detects open and short in signal line circuit between No. 2 ignition coil and ECM (open circuit detected / GND short / +B short). (1 trip detection logic) |
|
| P0353 | The ECM driver IC detects open and short in signal line circuit between No. 3 ignition coil and ECM (open circuit detected / GND short / +B short). (1 trip detection logic) |
|
| P0354 | The ECM driver IC detects open and short in signal line circuit between No. 4 ignition coil and ECM (open circuit detected / GND short / +B short). (1 trip detection logic) |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If the ECM receives a malfunction signal from the ECM driver IC, ECM recognizes that there is an open or short in signal line circuit between the ignition coil and ECM and stores the DTCs.
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Clear DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation) Click here.
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher.
With the vehicle stationary, depress the accelerator pedal and maintain an engine speed of between 2500 and 3000 rpm for 40 seconds or more [A].
Drive the vehicle at 10 km/h (6.25 mph) or more for 1 minute or more [B].
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
Read pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P0351, P0352, P0353 or P0354.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| N/A |
|
Tech Tips
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the test result is INCOMPLETE or N/A and no DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Click here.
Tech Tips
If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
WIRING DIAGRAM
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
Tech Tips
These DTCs indicate malfunctions relating to the primary circuit.
If DTC P0351 is output, check the No. 1 ignition coil (No. 1 cylinder) circuit.
If DTC P0352 is output, check the No. 2 ignition coil (No. 2 cylinder) circuit.
If DTC P0353 is output, check the No. 3 ignition coil (No. 3 cylinder) circuit.
If DTC P0354 is output, check the No. 4 ignition coil (No. 4 cylinder) circuit.
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs Click here.
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Shuffle the arrangement of the ignition coils (among No. 1 to No. 4 cylinders).
Note
Do not change the location of the connectors.
Drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in the Confirmation Driving Pattern.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
Read DTCs.
