6F1-2 IGNITION SYSTEM (ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ignition system is an electronic (distributorless) ignition system. Its consists of the parts as described below
and has an electronic ignition control system.
ECM
It detects the engine and vehicle conditions through the signals from the sensors, determines the most suit-
able ignition timing and time for electricity to flow to the primary coil and sends a signal to the ignitor (power
unit) in the ignition coil assembly.
Ignition coil assembly (including an igniter)
The ignition coil assembly has a built-in ignitor which turns ON and OFF the current flow to the primary coil
according to the signal from ECM. When the current flow to the primary coil is turned OFF, a high voltage is
induced in the secondary coil.
High tension cords and spark plugs.
CMP sensor (Camshaft position sensor) and CKP sensor (Crankshaft position sensor)
Using signals from these sensors, ECM identifies the specific cylinder whose piston is in the compression
stroke, detects the crank angle and adjusts initial ignition timing automatically.
TP sensor, ECT sensor, MAP sensor and other sensors/switches
Refer to Section 6E1 for details.
Although this ignition system does not have a distributor, it has two ignition coil assemblies (one is for No.1 and
No.4 spark plugs and the other is for No.2 and No.3 spark plugs). When an ignition signal is sent from ECM to
the ignitor in the ignition coil assembly for No.1 and No.4 spark plugs, a high voltage is induced in the secondary
coil and that passes through the high-tension cords and causes No.1 and No.4 spark plugs to spark simulta-
neously. Likewise, when an ignition signal is sent to the ignitor in the other ignition coil assembly, No.2 and No.3
spark plugs spark simultaneously.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
IGNITION SPARK TEST
1) Disconnect all injector couplers (1) from injectors.
2) Remove spark plug and check it for condition and type refer-
ring to “Spark Plugs” in this section.
3) If OK, connect ignition coil coupler to ignition coil assembly
and connect spark plug to ignition coil assembly or high-ten-
sion cord. Ground spark plug.
4) Crank engine and check if each spark plug sparks.
5) If no spark is emitted, inspect the related parts as described
under “Diagnosis” earlier in this section.
HIGH-TENSION CORDS
1) Remove air intake pipe and cylinder head upper cover.
2) Disconnect high-tension cords (2) from ignition coil assem-
blies (1) while gripping each cap.
3) Pull out high-tension cords from spark plugs while gripping
each cap.
4) Measure resistance of high-tension cord (1) by using ohm-
meter.
High-tension cord resistance
: 4 -10 k
Ω/m (1.2 - 3.0 kΩ/ft)
5) If resistance exceeds specification, replace high-tension
cord(s). WARNING:
Without disconnection of injector couplers, combustible
gas may come out from spark plug holes during this test
and may get ignited in engine room.
CAUTION:
Removal of high-tension cords together with clamps
will be recommended so as not to damage their inside
wire (resistive conductor).
For the same reason, pull out each connection by grip-
ping cap portion.
6F1-6 IGNITION SYSTEM (ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM)
6) Install high-tension cords (2) to spark plugs and ignition coil
assemblies (1) while gripping each cap.
SPARK PLUGS
1) Remove air intake pipe and cylinder head upper cover.
2) Pull out high-tension cords by gripping their caps and then
remove ignition coil assemblies referring to IGNITION COIL
ASSEMBLY in this section.
3) Remove spark plugs.
4) Inspect them for:
Electrode wear
Carbon deposits
Insulator damage
5) If any abnormality is found, adjust air gap, clean with spark
plug cleaner or replace them with specified new plugs.
For iridium/platinum spark plugs, replace them with new
plugs.
Spark plug air gap
“a” : 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.040 - 0.043 in.)
Spark plug type
NGK : BKR6E-11, IFR5E11
DENSO : K20PR-U11 CAUTION:
Never attempt to use metal conductor high-tension
cords as replacing parts.
Insert each cap portion fully when installing high-ten-
sion cords.
NOTE:
NGK IFR5E11 is highly recommended for better engine
starting performance under -25°C(-13°F).
CAUTION:
When servicing the iridium/platinum spark plugs (slen-
der center electrode type plugs), do not touch the cen-
ter electrode to avoid damage to it. The electrode is not
strong enough against mechanical force as it is slen-
der and its material is not mechanically tough
Do not clean or adjust gap for the iridium/platinum
spark plugs.
