On-Vehicle Inspection

1. Remove the V-bank cover sub-assembly. (See REMOVAL )
2. Remove the ignition coils (with igniter).
3. Using a 16mm (0.63 in) plug wrench, remove the spark plugs.
4. Install the spark plugs to each ignition coil (with igniter) and connect the ignition coil connectors.
5. Disconnect the 6 injector connectors.
6. Ground the spark plugs.
7. Check if spark occurs at each spark plug while engine is being cranked.
   NOTE:

   • Be sure to ground the spark plug when checking.
   • Replace the ignition coil when it is given physical impact.
   • Do not crank the engine for more than 2 seconds.

If the sparks do not occur, do the following test:

1. Check connection of ignition coil with igniter connector.

   Result: 

   RESULT REFERENCE (1 OF 3)
   
   

   Result	Proceed to
   NG	Connect securely.
   OK	Go to next step.

2. Change it to normal ignition coil with igniter and perform spark test again.

   Result: 

   RESULT REFERENCE (2 OF 3)
   
   

   Result	Proceed to
   OK	Replace ignition coil with igniter.
   NG	Go to next step.

3. Check the power supply to ignition coil with igniter.
   1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
   2. Check that there is battery voltage at ignition coil positive (+) terminal.

      Result: 

      RESULT REFERENCE (3 OF 3)
      
      

      Result	Proceed to
      NG	Check wiring between ignition switch to ignition coil with igniter.
      OK	Go to next step.

4. Check the resistance of the VVT SENSOR .

   Standard resistance 

   TEMPERATURE SPECIFIED CONDITION
   
   

   Temperature	Specified Condition
   Cold	835 to 1,400 Ω
   Hot	1,060 to 1,645 Ω

   Result: 

   RESULT REFERENCE
   
   

   Result	Proceed to
   NG	Replace VVT sensor.
   OK	Go to next step.

5. Check the resistance of the crankshaft position sensor (See INSPECTION ).

   Standard resistance 

   TEMPERATURE SPECIFIED CONDITION
   
   

   Temperature	Specified Condition
   Cold	1,630 to 2,740 Ω
   Hot	2,065 to 3,225 Ω

   Result: 

   RESULT REFERENCE (1 OF 2)
   
   

   Result	Proceed to
   NG	Replace crankshaft position sensor.
   OK	Go to next step.

6. Check the IGT signal from the ECM (See DTC P0351 IGNITION COIL "A" PRIMARY / SECONDARY CIRCUIT; DTC P0352 IGNITION COIL "B" PRIMARY / SECONDARY CIRCUIT; DTC P0353 IGNITION COIL "C" PRIMARY / SECONDARY CIRCUIT; DTC P0354 IGNITION COIL "D" PRIMARY / SECONDARY CIRCUIT; DTC P0355 IGNITION COIL "E" PRIMARY / SECONDARY CIRCUIT; DTC P0356 IGNITION COIL "F" PRIMARY / SECONDARY CIRCUIT ).

   Result: 

   RESULT REFERENCE (2 OF 2)
   
   

   Result	Proceed to
   NG	Check ECM.
   OK	Repair wiring between ignition coil and ECM.
