ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
NOTICE:
In this section, the terms "cold" and "hot" refer to the
temperature of the coils. "Cold" means approximately -
10
C (14F) to 50C (122F). "Hot" means approximately
50
C (122F) to 100C (212F).
1. INSPECT IGNITION COIL ASSEMBLY
(a) Check for DTCs.
NOTICE:
If any DTC is present, perform troubleshooting
in accordance with the procedures for that DTC.
(b) Remove the ignition coil assembly and spark plug.
(See page IG-8).
(c) Check that sparks occur.
(1) Disconnect the 6 fuel injector connectors.
(2) Install the spark plugs to each ignition coil, and
connect the ignition coil connectors.
(3) Ground the spark plugs.
(4) Check if a spark occurs at each spark plug
while the engine is being cranked.
NOTICE:
• Be sure to ground the spark plugs when
checking.
• Replace the ignition coil if it receives an
impact.
• Do not crank the engine for more than 2
seconds.
(d) Perform the spark test according to the flowchart
below.
(1) Check that the ignition coil connector is
securely connected.
Result
(2) Perform a spark test on each ignition coil.
1. Replace the ignition coil with a normal one.
2. Perform the spark test again.

(2) Remove the spark plugs.
(3) Visually check the spark plug.
If the electrode is dry, the spark plug is
functioning properly. If the electrode is damp,
proceed to the next step.
(c) Check the spark plug for any damage to its threads
and insulator. If there is damage, replace the spark
plug.
Recommended spark plug
NOTICE:
Use only the listed spark plug or equivalent to
ensure engine performance and smooth
driveability.
(d) Check the spark plug electrode gap.
Maximum electrode gap for used spark plug:
1.4 mm (0.055 in.)
If the gap is greater than the maximum, replace the
spark plug.
Electrode gap for new spark plug:
1.0 to 1.1 mm (0.039 to 0.043 in.)
(e) Clean the spark plugs.
If the electrode has traces of wet carbon, clean the
electrode with a spark plug cleaner and then dry it.
Standard air pressure:
588 kPa (6 kgf*cm
2, 85 psi)
Standard duration:
20 seconds or less
HINT:
Only use the spark plug cleaner when the electrode
is free of oil. If the electrode has traces of oil, use
gasoline to clean off the oil before using the spark
plug cleaner.
(f) Install the ignition coil assembly and spark plug.

When multiple DTCs for misfiring cylinders are set, but DTC P0300 is not set, it indicates that misfires
have been detected in different cylinders at different times. DTC P0300 is only set when several misfiring
cylinders are detected at the same time.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC when either one of the following conditions, which could
cause emission deterioration, is detected (2 trip detection logic).
• Within the first 1000 crankshaft revolutions of the engine starting, an excessive misfiring rate
(approximately 20 to 50 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs once.
• An excessive misfiring rate (approximately 20 to 50 misfires per 1,000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs a
total of 4 times.
The ECM flashes the MIL and sets a DTC when either one of the following conditions, which could cause
the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) damage, is detected (2 trip detection logic).
• At a high engine rpm, a catalyst damage misfire, which monitored every 200 crankshaft revolutions,
occurs once.
• At a normal engine rpm, a catalyst damage misfire, which monitored every 200 crankshaft revolutions,
occurs 3 times.
HINT:
If a catalyst damage misfire occurs, the ECM informs the driver by flashing the MIL.
