- NOTICE:
- ·
Be sure to ground the spark plugs when checking them.
·Do not crank the engine for more than 2 seconds.
·If an ignition coil assembly or spark plug has been struck or dropped, replace it.
- HINT:
-
If spark does not occur, perform the following procedure.
Install the 6 spark plugs and 6 ignition coil assemblies.
Install the intake air surge tank assembly.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
Check for DTCs.
- Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes
- 50001 372
Clear the DTCs.
- Powertrain > Engine > Clear DTCs
- 50002 372
2.INSPECT IGNITION COIL ASSEMBLY AND SPARK TEST
- HINT:
-
Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing a spark plug or ignition coil assembly.
Check that the ignition coil assembly connector is securely connected.
- Result:
Result Action NG Connect securely OK Go to next step
Perform a spark test on each ignition coil assembly.
Replace the ignition coil assembly with a known good one.
Perform the spark test again.
- Result:
Result Action NG Go to next step OK Replace ignition coil assembly
- NOTICE:
-
If an ignition coil assembly or spark plug has been struck or dropped, replace it.
Perform a spark test on each spark plug.
Replace the spark plug with a known good one.
Perform the spark test again.
- Result:
Result Action NG Inspect the ignition system

3.INSPECT SPARK PLUG
- NOTICE:
- ·
Do not damage the iridium tip and platinum tip.
·Check the iridium tip visually since the iridium tip may be damaged.
·Never attempt to adjust the electrode gap of a used spark plug.
·Replace with new spark plugs if extremely dirty due to sludge, etc.
·Replace with new spark plugs if damaged at all.
·Replace with a new spark plug if it has been struck or dropped.
·When replacing with a new spark plug, do not remove the cap for protecting the spark plug tip until it is installed to the engine.
- HINT:
-
Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing a spark plug.
| *a | Body Ground |
Check the electrode.
Using a megohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance.
- Standard Insulation Resistance:
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Spark plug (terminal part) - Body ground Always 10 MΩ or higher
- HINT:
- ·
If the result is not as specified, clean the spark plug with a spark plug cleaner and measure the resistance again.
·If a megohmmeter is not available, perform the following simple inspection instead.
Alternative inspection method.
Start the engine.
- NOTICE:
-
Do not perform this step when any of the following DTCs are output: P030000, P030027, P030085, P030100, P030200, P030300, P030400, P030500, P030600 (Cylinder Misfire Detected).
Quickly accelerate the engine to 4000 rpm 5 times.
- NOTICE:
-
Do not perform this step when any of the following DTCs are output: P030000, P030027, P030085, P030100, P030200, P030300, P030400, P030500, P030600 (Cylinder Misfire Detected).
Remove the spark plug.

Visually check the spark plug.
- HINT:
-
If the electrode is dry, the spark plug is functioning properly. If the electrode is damp, proceed to the next step.
Check the spark plug for any damage to its threads and insulator.
If there is any damage, replace the spark plug.
- Recommended Spark Plug:
Manufacturer Spark Plug Type DENSO FK20HBR8
| *a | Spark Plug Electrode Gap |
| *b | Iridium Tip |
| *c | Platinum Tip |
Check the spark plug electrode gap.
- Maximum Electrode Gap for Used Spark Plug:
1.1 mm (0.0433 in.)
- NOTICE:
-
Never attempt to adjust the electrode gap of a used spark plug.
If the electrode gap is more than the maximum, replace the spark plug.
- Standard Electrode Gap for New Spark Plug:
0.7 to 0.8 mm (0.0276 to 0.0315 in.)
Install the spark plug.
4.PERFORM INITIALIZATION
Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing a spark plug or ignition coil assembly.
