Component Inspection

■ Spark Plug Cable & Ignition Coil Inspection 

1. Visually/physically inspect the spark plug cable and ignition coil related to the misfiring cylinder(s) for the following conditions
   • Damage, cracks, carbon and flashover
   • Poor connection or damaged harness
   • Connected to the incorrect cylinders at the ignition coil and spark plug
2. Measure the resistance of the spark plug cable related to the misfiring cylinder(s)

   Specification:  5.6 kΩ/m ± 20%

3. Measure the resistance of the primary and secondary ignition coil related to the misfiring cylinder(s)

   Specification:  Primary Ignition Coil Resistance: 0.56~0.68 Ω at 20°C (68°F)

   Secondary Ignition Coil Resistance: 6~8 kΩ at 20°C (68°F)

4. Was a problem found in any of the above areas?

   YES 

   • Repair or replace as necessary. Go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

   NO 

   • Go to next step below.

■ Spark Plug Inspection 

1. Visually/physically inspect the spark plug related to the misfiring cylinder(s) for the following conditions
   • Damaged insulation, Worn electrodes, Oil or fuel fouled, Loose terminals and cracks
   • Check for electrode gap: 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.039 - 0.043 in.)
   • Check if the spark plug for the relevant cylinder is lighter in color than the other plugs
2. Was a problem found in any of the above areas?

   YES 

   • Repair or replace as necessary. Go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

   NO 

   • Go to next step below.

■ ETC Inspection 

1. IG "ON"
2. Select "Actuation Test" mode and execute 'ETC motor'.

   • During 'ETC Motor' test, TPS1 and TPS2 show symmetrical movements.
3. Is the waveform normal?

   YES 

   • Check for poor connection between PCM and component: backed out terminal, improper mating, broken locks or poor terminal to wire connection. Repair as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

   NO 

   • Check ETC for contamination, deterioration, or damage. Substitute with a known-good ETC and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace TPS and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
