Checking Components and Wiring

Checking Components And Wiring







- Ignition off

HINT: The engine cylinders are counted from the right-hand side of the vehicle. I.E. the cylinder furthest away from the flywheel.

- Bank 1 (cylinder row nearest the front): cylinders 1, 3, 5 and 7.
- Bank 2 (cylinder row furthest to the rear, nearest the passenger compartment): cylinders 2, 4, 6 and 8.

HINT: If diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored for all ignition coils, the most probable fault cause is a faulty diagnostic cable or power supply cable for the ignition coils. If the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored for an individual ignition coil, the most probable cause is a faulty signal cable or ignition coil.

Check the ignition coil connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.

Disconnect the engine control module (ECM).

Check the diagnostic cables between the control module and the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) relevant camshaft position sensor. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage. Check for an open-circuit.

Measure between:
- For ignition coils cylinder 2, 3, 5 and 8: control module terminal #A62 (#B2) and relevant ignition coil terminal #2.
- For ignition coils cylinder 1, 4, 6 and 7: control module terminal #A64 (#B4) and relevant ignition coil terminal #2.

Check the voltage supply cable between the system relay and the relevant ignition coil terminal #1. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check for an open-circuit.

Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) relevant signal cable. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage. Check for an open-circuit.

Measure between:
- Control module #A60 (#A60) and #4 for ignition coil cylinder 1.
- Control module #A61 (#B1) and #4 for ignition coil cylinder 2.
- Control module #A58 (#A58) and #4 for ignition coil cylinder 3.
- Control module #A59 (#A59) and #4 for ignition coil cylinder 4.
- Control module #A56 (#A56) and #4 for ignition coil cylinder 5.
- Control module #A57 (#A57) and #4 for ignition coil cylinder 6.
- Control module #A54 (#A54) and #4 for ignition coil cylinder 7.
- Control module #A55 (#A55) and #4 for ignition coil cylinder 8.

Remedy as necessary.
