  6. Exchange the ignition coil from the problem cylinder with one from another cylinder (see IGNITION COIL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  7. Start the engine.
  8. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    Is an ignition coil DTC indicated at the exchanged cylinder position? 

    YES:  Replace the faulty ignition coil (see IGNITION COIL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ), then go to step  25.

    NO:  Go to step  9.

  9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  10. Check the No. 33 IGNITION COIL (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

    Is the fuse OK? 

    YES:  Go to step  11.

    NO:  Go to step  12.

  11. Open the fuse access panel (A), then test the ignition coil relay (B) in the under-dash fuse/relay box (see REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).

    Is the ignition coil relay OK? 

    YES:  Go to step  15.

    NO:  Replace the ignition coil relay, then go to step  25.

  13. Disconnect all ignition coil 3P connectors.
  14. Check for continuity between No. 1 ignition coil 3P connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES:  Repair short in the wire between the ignition coils and the ignition coil relay. Also replace the No. 33 IG COIL (15 A) fuse, then go to step  25.

    NO:  Check the under-dash fuse/relay box, and replace it if needed (see REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ), then go to step  25.
