Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate ignition coil.
  2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, repair the open, or high resistance in the ground circuit.
  3. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, repair the open, or high resistance in the ground circuit.
  4. Ignition ON, load test for B+ between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground, or an open/high resistance. Replace the fuse if necessary.
  5. Connect a DMM, set on the DC Hz scale, between the IC circuit terminal 1 and ground.
  6. Engine cranking, or idling, test for 3-20 Hz between the IC circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If not within the specified range, test the IC circuit for a short to ground, short to voltage, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connection tests normal, replace the ECM.
  7. If all circuits/connections test normal, replace the ignition coil.
