IGNITOR Signal Circuit
NOTE:
If not using the hand-held tester, begin with step 3.
- Check the tachometer value. Connect the hand-held tester to DLC3. See Figure. Turn the ignition switch ON and hand-held tester main switch ON. Select the DATA LIST mode on the hand-held tester. When running the engine, check that parameter value of the tachometer changes on the screen of the hand-held tester. If the revolutions displayed on the screen of the tester changes as the engine rotates, replace the combination meter. See INSTRUMENT PANEL under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If the results are not as described as above, go to the next step.
- Check the harness and connector between the combination meter and ECM. If the results are OK, check the ignitor circuit. For 2002 models, see DTC P1300: IGNITOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS under SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - GS300 or SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - GS430 article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. For 2003 models, see DTC P0351: IGNITOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS under SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - GS300 or SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - GS430 article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. If the results are not good, repair or replace the harness or connector.
