Inspection Procedure 12
Shock during acceleration
Probable cause
The occurrence of ignition leaks, etc., due to the rise in voltage required for the spark
plugs during acceleration is a probable cause.DIgnition system malfunction
OK
Check and repair the harness and connector between each
cylinder’s ignition coil and body earth and between the engine-
ECU and ignition coil for disconnection, short-circuit and damage.
OK
Check the ignition coil parts.
(Refer to GROUP 16 - Ignition Device.)NGReplace the ignition coil.
OK
Check the following connectors:B-114, B-119NG
Repair
OK
Check the spark plug.
(Refer to GROUP 16 - Ignition Device.)NGReplace the spark plug.
NO
Check the spark plug cable.
(Refer to GROUP 16 - Ignition Device.)NGReplace the spark plug cable.

Caution
1. The battery plugs should be removed during charging.
2. The battery electrolyte level may rise and overflow from the battery during charging.
3. Explosions may occur if the battery is brought close to naked flames during charging.
4. Be careful to avoid tasks that might produce sparks or other danger while the battery is
charging.
5. After charging is complete, replace the battery plugs, pour water over the battery to rinse
away any sulphuric acid, and let the battery stand to dry.
6. Charge the battery in a well-ventilated location.
7. Do not let the battery electrolyte temperature rise above approximately 45_C
(approximately 55_Cduring rapid charging).
BATTERY TESTING PROCEDURE
TEST STEP
(1) Turn headlamps on for 15 seconds.
(2) Turn headlamps off for 2 minutes to allow battery voltage to
stabilize.
(3) Disconnect cables.
OK
Read open circuit voltage.
OK:Open circuit voltage is more than 12.4 VNGCharge battery at 5 amps. (Refer to LOAD TEST RATE CHART)
RetestOK
(1) Connect a load tester to the battery.
(2) Load the battery at the recommended discharge rate (see LOAD
TEST RATE CHART) for 15 seconds.
(3) Read voltage after 15 seconds, then remove load.
(4) Compare the measured value with the minimum voltage (see
LOAD TEST CHART).
OK:Higher than minimum voltageNG
Replace battery
OK
