PERFORMANCE TEST M1552001400526
The vehicles to be tested should be parked out of direct sun-
light.
1. Close the high and low-pressure valve of the gauge
manifold.
2. Connect the charging hose (blue) to the low-pressure valve
and connect the charging hose (red) to the high-pressure
valve of the gauge manifold.
3. Install the quick joint (for low-pressure) to the charging hose
(blue), and connect the quick joint (for high-pressure) to the
charging hose (red).
To connect the quick joint, press section A firmly
against the service valve until a click is heard.
When connecting, run your hand along the hose while
pressing to ensure that there are no bends in the hose.
4. Connect the quick joint (for low-pressure) to the
low-pressure service valve and connect the quick joint (for
high-pressure) to the high-pressure service valve.
NOTE: The high-pressure service valve is on the A/C pipe
and the low-pressure service valve is on the suction hose.
5. Start the engine.
6. Set the A/C controls as follows:
A/C switch: A/C ON position
Mode selection: FACE position
Temperature control: MAXIMUM COOLING position
Air selection: RECIRCULATION position
Blower switch: Maximum air volume
7. Adjust engine speed to 1,500 r/min with A/C clutch engaged.
8. Engine should be warmed up with doors and windows
closed.
9. Insert a thermometer in the center air outlet and operate the
engine for 20 minutes.
NOTE: If the A/C clutch cycles, take the reading before the
clutch disengages.
10.Note the discharge air temperature.

KNOCK CONTROL SYSTEM CHECKM1163001800081
Check the knock sensor circuit if diagnostic trouble code, No.
P0325 is shown.

Diagnostic Trouble Code Pro-
cedures
DTC P0325 : Knock Sensor Circuit 13A-346.
IGNITION COIL CHECK M1163001200380
Check by the following procedure, and replace the coil if there
is a malfunction.
.
PRIMARY COIL AND IGNITION POWER
TRANSISTOR CONTINUITY CHECK
NOTE: No test can be performed on the Primary side of coil.
.
SECONDARY COIL CHECK
NOTE: It is impossible to check the secondary coil through the
continuity check as a diode is integrated in the secondary coil
circuit of this ignition coil. Accordingly, check the secondary coil
in the following procedure.
1. Disconnect the ignition coil connector.
2. Remove the ignition coil and install a new spark plug to the
ignition coil.
3. Connect the ignition coil connector.
4. Disable vehicle fuel pump by removing fuel pump relay or
disconnecting fuel pump connector D-18 (under rear seat).
5. Ground the side electrode of the spark plug and crank the
engine.
6. Check that spark is produced between the electrodes of the
spark plug.
7. If no spark is produced, replace the ignition coil with a new
one and recheck.
8. If spark is produced with the new ignition coil, replace the
old one as it is faulty. If no spark is produced again, the
ignition circuit is suspected as faulty. Check the ignition
circuit.
