Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lexus RX 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This system is equipped with a Direct Ignition System (DIS), with a coil/ignitor devoted to each cylinder. Primary circuit is turned off when ECM delivers a signal to ignitor on IGT wire, causing ignition coil to fire spark plug. After delivering a command to turn off primary circuit on IGT wire, ECM monitors ignition confirmation signal on IGF circuit to ensure primary switching has occurred. If IGF signal is not input to ECM, ECM will stop fuel injection as a fail-safe function. DTC will set if there is no IGF signal to ECM with engine running. Possible causes are:
- Open or short in IGF or IGT circuit.
- Faulty ignition coil/ignitor.
- Faulty ECM.
