4. Turn ignition switch ªONº.
Make sure fuel does not drip from injector.
OK or NG
OK (Does not drip)©GO TO 8.
NG (Drips)©Replace the injector(s) from which fuel is dripping.
DTC P0420 THREE WAY CATALYST FUNCTIONQG
Diagnostic Procedure (Cont'd)
EC-302

Component DescriptionNJEC0542IGNITION COIL AND POWER TRANSISTORNJEC0542S01The ignition signal from the ECM is sent to and amplified by the
power transistor. The power transistor turns on and off the ignition
coil primary circuit. This on-off operation induces the proper high
voltage in the coil secondary circuit.

ECM Terminals and Reference ValueNJEC0544Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.
