NOTICE:
In this section, the terms coldº and hotº refer to the temperature of the coils. ºColdºmeans approxi-
mately -10C (14F) to 50C (122F). ºHotº means approximately 50C (122F) to 100C (212F).
1. INSPECT IGNITION COIL ASSY (WITH IGNITER) AND PERFORM SPARK TEST
(a) Check for DTCs.
NOTICE:
If a DTC is present, perform a troubleshooting in accordance with the procedure for that DTC.
(b) Check if sparks occur.
(1) Remove the engine cover No. 1 (see page 14-24).
(2) Remove the ignition coils.
(3) Using a 16 mm (0.63 in.) plug wrench, remove the spark plugs.
(4) Install the spark plugs to each ignition coil and connect the ignition coil connectors.
(5) Disconnect the 4 injector connectors.
(6) Ground the spark plugs.
(7) Check if sparks occur at each spark plug while the engine is being cranked.
NOTICE:
Be sure to ground the spark plug when checking.
Replace the ignition coil if given physical impact is given to the coil.
Do not crank the engine for more than 2 seconds.
If the sparks do not occur, do the following test:

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK THROTTLE BODY
(a) Listen to the throttle control motor operating sounds.
(1) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(2) When pressing the accelerator pedal position sensor lever, listen to the running motor. Make sure
no friction noise comes from the motor.
If friction noise exists, replace the throttle body.
(b) Inspect the throttle position sensor.
(1) Connect the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) Check that the MIL is off.
(4) Under CURRENT DATA, the throttle valve opening percentage (THROTTLE POS) should be
within the standard value range below.
Standard throttle valve opening percentage:
60 % or more
If the percentage is less than 60 %, replace the throttle position sensor.
NOTICE:
When checking the standard throttle valve opening percentage, the transmission should be in the
neutral position.
2. CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON. Under CURRENT DATA, the voltage of the throttle position sensor should
be within the standard value range below.
Standard: 0.6 to 1.0 V
If the result is not as specified, replace the accelerator pedal position sensor.
3. CHECK CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) ASSY
(a) Connect the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) Start the engine and warm it up.
(d) Select the VVT from the ACTIVE TEST menu.
(e) Check the engine speed when the OCV is operated by the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool.
Standard:
ConditionSpecified Condition
VVT system is OFF (OCV is OFF)Normal engine speed
VVT system is ON (OCV is ON)Rough idle or engine stalled
If the result is not as specified, replace the OCV assy.
