Computed Ignition Timing Check

Make sure that in-line base timing connector is reconnected if base timing has been checked. Make sure that Self-Test is activated and start engine. Timing is locked for full Self-Test sequence and for 2 minutes after display of last service code. Timing range should be 27-33° BTDC on all models. If timing is correct, go to Key ON/Engine Running (KOER) Self-Test. If timing is not correct, go to TEST MM.

NOTE: If engine will not start, go to TEST A . If engine stalls while testing, go to Diagnosis By Symptom Test.
