DTC 14 Ignition Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECM determines the ignition timing, turns on Tr1 at a predetermined angle (°CA) before the desired ignition
timing and outputs an ignition signal (IGT) º1º to the igniter.
Since the width of the IGT signal is constant, the dwell angle control circuit in the igniter determines the time
the control circuit starts primary current flow to the ignition coil based on the engine rpm and ignition timing one
revolution ago, that is, the time the Tr
2 turns on.
When it reaches the ignition timing, the ECM turns Tr
1 off and outputs the IGT signal ºOº.
This turns Tr
2 off, interrupting the primary current flow and generating a high voltage in the secondary coil which
causes the spark plug to spark. Also, by the counter electromotive force generated when the primary current
is interrupted, the igniter sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) to the ECM.
The ECM stops fuel injection as a fail safe function when the IGF signal is not input to the ECM.

To prevent excess fuel being injected from injectors dur-
ing this test, don't crank the engine for more than 1Ð2
seconds at a time.

DTC 16 A T Control Signal Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The signal from the A/T CPU retards the ignition timing of the engine during A/T gear shifting, thus momentarily
reducing torque output of the engine for smooth clutch operation inside the transmission and reduced shift
shock.
