Set the heater controls to maximum.
14. CAUTION: Observe the engine temperature gauge. If the engine
starts to over-heat switch off immediately and allow to cool. Failure to
follow this instruction may cause damage to the vehicle
Start the engine and idle until hot air is emited at the face registers.
15. Switch the heater off.
16. Raise the engine speed to 2000 RPM for eight minutes.
17. CAUTION: Switch off the engine and allow the coolant temperature
to go cold.
Switch the engine off.
18. Visually check the engine and cooling system for signs of coolant
leakage.
19. WARNING: When releasing the cooling system pressure, cover the
coolant expansion tank cap with a thick cloth.
CAUTIONS:
Since injury such as scalding could be caused by escaping steam or
coolant, make sure the vehicle cooling system is cool prior to carrying
out this procedure
Make sure the coolant level remains above the "COLD FILL RANGE"
lower level mark.
NOTE: When the cooling system is warm, the coolant will be
approximately 10mm above the upper level mark on the expansion tank
with the cap removed.
Check and top-up the coolant if required.

CAUTIONS:
Take extra care when removing the throttle body,
failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to
the manifold absolute pressure and temperature (MAPT)
sensor.
Do not attempt to clean the throttle body bore, build
up of deposits reduces air leakage past the throttle plate at
the fully closed position.
Remove and discard the gasket.

Smart key not found - Refer to handbook Ignition mode fails to switch on GO to Pinpoint Test B. Press start and brake Engine fails to crank GO to Pinpoint Test C. Steering column locked Ignition switches off after 3 seconds GO to Pinpoint Test D. NOTE: For diesel engines Engine still not cranking Ambient temperatures below zero GO to Pinpoint Test E.
Pin Point Test
PINPOINT TEST A : SMART KEY NOT FOUND - REFER TO HANDBOOK TEST
CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS A1: IGNITION MODE FAILS TO SWITCH ON NOTES:
In normal operation, pressing the start button for one second will cause the vehicle to enter the ignition mode. If the
procedures below are followed the engine should crank
For automatic transmission vehicles, ensure the brake pedal is depressed and the park or neutral selected 1 Ensure the smart Key is within the cabin area. Check the smart key is not close to any electrical devices e.g. Smart phones, laptops, laptop cases, games consoles and game console bags, briefcases, metal
objects etc. All can affect the system performance and may block its communication with the vehicle. If
the smart key battery low warning message has been displayed it is likely that the smart key battery has
insufficient charge. Refer to section 'Back Up Start' for 10MY onwards Has the vehicle started? Yes

GENERAL System Operation
The ignition coils are supplied with electrical power from the battery via a 250 A megafuse in the BJB (battery junction box)
and the ignition relay in the EJB (engine junction box). The control signal for the ignition relay is supplied by the CJB (central
junction box).
The ECM (engine control module) sends a separate signal to each ignition coil to trigger the power stage switching. The ECM calculates the dwell time from the battery voltage and engine speed, to ensure a constant energy level is produced in the
secondary coil each time the power stage is switched. This ensures sufficient spark energy is available without excessive
primary current flow, which avoids overheating and damage to the ignition coils.
The ECM calculates the ignition timing for individual cylinders from: Engine speed
Camshaft position
Engine load
Engine temperature
The knock control function
The shift control function
The idle speed control function.
IGNITION COILS Component Description
The ignition coils are installed in the cylinder head covers, under the NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) covers. Each
ignition coil locates on a spark plug and is secured to the related cylinder head cover with a single screw. Each ignition coil
incorporates a three pin electrical connector for connection to the engine harness.
Each ignition coil contains a primary and a secondary winding. The primary winding receives electrical power from the ignition
relay in the power distribution box. A power stage in the primary winding allows the ECM to interrupt the power supply, to induce a voltage in the secondary winding and thus the spark plug. A diode in the ground side of the secondary winding
reduces any undesirable switch-on voltage, to prevent misfiring into the intake manifold. The power stage limits the maximum
voltage and current in the primary winding, to protect the power stage and limit the voltage in the secondary winding. www.JagDocs.com
