System DescriptionNJEC0015S02
SEF742M
The ignition timing is controlled by the ECM to maintain the best air-fuel ratio for every running condition of
the engine. The ignition timing data is stored in the ECM. This data forms the map shown above.
The ECM receives information such as the injection pulse width, crankshaft position sensor signal and cam-
shaft position sensor signal. Computing this information, ignition signals are transmitted to the power transis-
tor.
e.g., N: 1,800 rpm, Tp: 1.50 msec
AÉBTDC
During the following conditions, the ignition timing is revised by the ECM according to the other data stored
in the ECM.
+At starting
+During warm-up
+At idle
+During acceleration
The knock sensor retard system is designed only for emergencies. The basic ignition timing is programmed
within the anti-knocking zone, if recommended fuel is used under dry conditions. The retard system does not
operate under normal driving conditions.
If engine knocking occurs, the knock sensor monitors the condition. The signal is transmitted to the ECM. The
ECM retards the ignition timing to eliminate the knocking condition.

On Board Diagnosis LogicNJEC0572If the cooling fan or another component in the cooling system malfunctions, engine coolant temperature will
rise.
When the engine coolant temperature reaches an abnormally high temperature condition, a malfunction is
indicated.
DTC No. Malfunction is detected when ... Check Items (Possible Cause)
P1217
1217+The engine coolant temperature is extraordinary high,
even when the load is not heavy.+Harness or connectors
(The cooling fan circuit is open or shorted)
+Cooling fan
+Thermostat
+Improper ignition timing
+Engine coolant temperature sensor
+Blocked radiator
+Blocked front end (Improper fitting of nose mask)
+Crushed vehicle frontal area (Vehicle frontal is
collided but not repaired)
+Blocked air passage by improper installation of
front fog lamp or fog lamps.
+Improper mixture ratio of coolant
+Damaged bumper
For more information, refer to ªMAIN 12 CAUSES
OF OVERHEATINGº, EC-345.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant following the procedure in the LC-17,
ªChanging Engine Coolantº. Also, replace the engine oil.
1) Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed of 2 liters per minute. Be sure to use
coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer to MA-22, ªAnti-freeze Coolant Mixture Ratioº, ªRECOM-
MENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTSº.
2) After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.
