DTC P1300 Ignition Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A DIS (Direct Ignition System) has been adopted. The DIS improves the ignition timing accuracy, reduces
high-voltage loss, and enhances the overall reliability of the ignition system by eliminating the distributor.
The DIS is a 2-cylinder simultaneous ignition system which ignites 2 cylinders simultaneously with one igni-
tion coil. In the 2-cylinder simultaneous ignition system, each of the 2 spark plugs is connected to the end
of the secondary winding. High voltage generated in the secondary winding is applied directly to the 2 spark
plugs. The sparks of the 2 spark plugs pass simultaneously from the center electrode to the ground elec-
trode.
The ECM determines ignition timing end outputs the ignition signals (IGT) for each cylinder. Based on IGT
signals, the igniter controls the primary ignition signals (IGC) for all ignition coils. At the same time, the igniter
also sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) as a fail-safe measure to the ECM.

2. SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CHECK
(a) Check the speed sensor signal.
(1) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(2) Using SST, connect terminals Ts and E
1 of the
DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
(3) Start the engine.
(4) Check that the ABS warning light blinks.
HINT:
If the ABS warning light does not blink, inspect the ABS warning
light circuit (See page DI-138).
(5) Drive the vehicle faster than 45 km/h (28 mph) for
several seconds.
(6) Stop the vehicle.
(7) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E
1 of the
DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
(8) Read the number of blinks of the ABS warning light.
HINT:
See the list of DTCs shown on the next page.
If every sensor is normal, a normal code is output (A cycle
of 0.25 sec. ON and 0.25 sec. OFF is repeated).
If 2 or more malfunctions are indicated at the same time,
the lowest numbered code will be displayed 1st.
(9) After doing the check, disconnect terminals Ts and
E
1, and Tc and E1 of the DLC1, and turn ignition
switch OFF.
