ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK IGNITION COIL ASSEMBLY AND PERFORM
SPARK TEST
NOTICE:
In this section, the terms "cold" and "hot" refer to
the temperature of the coils. "Cold" means
approximately -10 to 50
C (14 to 122F). "Hot" means
approximately 50 to 100
C (122 to 212F).
(a) Check the DTCs.
NOTICE:
If a DTC is present, perform troubleshooting in
accordance with the procedure for that DTC.
(b) Check that sparks occur.
(1) Remove the No. 1 engine cover.
(2) Remove the bolt and ignition coil.
(3) Using a 16 mm spark plug wrench, remove the
spark plug.
(4) Disconnect the 4 fuel injector connectors.
(5) Install the spark plug into the ignition coil, and
then connect the ignition coil connectors.
(6) Ground the spark plug.
(7) Check that sparks occur at the spark plug while
the engine is being cranked.
NOTICE:
• Be sure to ground the spark plugs when
checking them.
• If the ignition coil has been struck or
dropped, replace it.
• Do not crank the engine for more than 2
seconds.
If sparks do not occur, Perform the spark test.
(8) Using a 16 mm plug wrench, install the spark
plug.

INITIALIZATION
1. RESET MEMORY
NOTICE:
• Perform the RESET MEMORY procedures (A/T
initialization) when replacing the automatic
transaxle assembly, engine assembly or ECM.
• RESET MEMORY can be performed only with the
intelligent tester.
HINT:
The ECM memorizes the vehicle conditions when the
ECT controls the automatic transaxle assembly and
engine assembly. Therefore, when the automatic
transaxle assembly, engine assembly, or ECM has been
replaced, it is necessary to reset the memory so that the
ECM can memorize the new information.
The reset procedures are as follows.
(a) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(b) Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then
connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
(d) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS /
ENHANCED OBD II.
(e) Perform the reset memory procedures from the
Engine menu.
CAUTION:
After performing the RESET MEMORY
procedures, be sure to perform the ROAD TEST
(see page AX-12) as described earlier.
HINT:
The ECM learns through the ROAD TEST.
