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:

3.INSPECT SPARK PLUG
- NOTICE:
- ·
Be careful not to damage the iridium tip or platinum tip of the spark plug.
·Check the iridium tip visually as it is easily damaged.
·Never attempt to adjust the electrode gap of a used spark plug.
·If a spark plug is extremely dirty with oil, etc., replace it.
·Replace a spark plug if it is damaged.
·If a spark plug has been struck or dropped, replace it.
·When installing a new spark plug, do not remove the protective cap from the spark plug tip until just before installing the spark plug 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 a megohmmeter is not available, perform the following simple inspection instead.
Alternative inspection method.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).
- Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Utility
-
Tester Display Inspection Mode - 50005 397 2103
Start the engine.
- NOTICE:
-
Do not perform this step when any of the following DTCs are output: P030000, P030027, P030085, P030100, P030200, P030300, P030400 (Cylinder Misfire Detected).
Quickly accelerate the engine to 2500 rpm 5 times.
- NOTICE:
-
Do not perform this step when any of the following DTCs are output: P030000, P030027, P030085, P030100, P030200, P030300, P030400 (Cylinder Misfire Detected).

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 FC16HR-CY9
| *a | Spark Plug Electrode Gap |
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.
