Is an ignition coil DTC indicated at the cylinder where the ignition coil was exchanged?
YES -Replace the faulty ignition coil (see IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUG REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ), then go to step 26.
NO -Go to step 9.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Check the No. B33 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 13.
- Open the fuse lid panel (A), then remove the ignition coil relay (B) from the under-dash fuse/relay box.
- Test the ignition coil relay (see
POWER RELAY TEST
).
Is the ignition coil relay OK?
YES -Go to step 16.
NO -Replace the ignition coil relay, then go to step 27.
- Open the fuse lid panel (A), then remove the ignition coil relay (B) from the under-dash fuse/relay box.
- Disconnect all ignition coil 3P connectors.
- Check for continuity between No. 1 ignition coil 3P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.

Is there continuity?
YES -Repair a short in the wire between the ignition coil relay and the ignition coils. Also replace the No. B33 IGNITION COIL (15 A) fuse, then go to step 27.
NO -Replace the under-dash fuse/relay box; USA models (see REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ), Canada models (see CANADA MODELS ), then go to step 27.
- Reinstall the ignition coil relay.
- Disconnect the ignition coil 3P connector from the problem cylinder.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Measure voltage between ignition coil 3P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?
YES -Go to step 20.
NO -Repair an open in the wire between the ignition coil and the No. B33 IGNITION COIL (15 A) fuse, then go to step 26.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Check for continuity between ignition coil 3P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.

Is there continuity?
YES -Go to step 22.
NO -Repair an open in the wire between the ignition coil and G101; CVT (see CKP SENSOR SUBHARNESS (CVT) (JA) ), M/T (see CKP SENSOR SUBHARNESS (M/T) (JA) ), then go to step 27.
- Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
- Disconnect ECM/PCM connector C (44P).
- Check for continuity between body ground and the ECM/PCM connector terminal of the problem ignition coil (see table).DTC CHART

Is there continuity?
YES -Go to step 32.
NO -Repair an open in the wire between the ECM/PCM and the ignition coil, then go to step 27.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Reconnect all connectors.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
- Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).
- Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0351, P0352, P0353, or P0354 indicated?
YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ignition coil, and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1.
NO -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC'S TROUBLESHOOTING .
- Reconnect all connectors.
- Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see ECM/PCM UPDATE ), or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ).
- Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0351, P0352, P0353, and/or P0354 indicated?
YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ignition coil and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then recheck. If the ECM was substituted, go to step 1.
NO -If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC'S TROUBLESHOOTING .
