RODEO X22SE 2.2L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSION
Circuit Description
The electronic ignition system uses a dual coil method of
spark distribution. In this type of ignition system, the
powertrain control module (PCM) triggers the correct
driver inside the ignition control module (ICM), which then
triggers the correct ignition coil based on the 58X signal
received from the crankshaft position sensor (CKP). The
spark plug connected to the coil fires when the ICM opens
the ground circuit for the coil’s primary circuit.
During crank, the PCM monitors the CKP 58X signal. The
CKP signal is used to determine which cylinder will fire
first. After the CKP 58X signal has been processed by the
PCM, it will command all four injectors to allow a priming
shot of fuel for all the cylinders. After the priming, the
injectors are left OFF during the next four 58X reference
pulses from the CKP. This allows each cylinder a chance
to use the fuel from the priming shot. During this waiting
period, a camshaft position (CMP) signal pulse will have
been received by the PCM. The CMP signal allows the
PCM to operate the injectors sequentially based on
camshaft position. If the camshaft position signal is not
present at start–up, the PCM will begin sequential fuel
delivery with a 1–in–4 chance that fuel delivery is correct.
The engine will run without a CMP signal, but will set a
DTC code.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent problem may be caused by a poor
connection, rubbed–through wire insulation or a wire
broken inside the insulation. Check for the following
items:
f
Poor connection or damaged harness – Inspect the
PCM harness and connectors for improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, poor terminal–to–wire connection, and
damaged harness.
f
Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor – Using a
Tech 2, compare engine coolant temperature with
intake air temperature on a completely cool engine.
Engine coolant temperature should be within 10
°
C of
intake air temperature. If not, replace the ECT sensor.

Diagnosis

1. Disconnect the ignition secondary wire at the No.1.
2. Install a spark tester J 26792 at the end of the
disconnected ignition coil.
3. Clip the spark tester J 26792 to a good ground (not
near the battery).
4. Observe the spark tester while the engine is
cranking.
Was a crisp blue spark observed? (Only one or two
sparks followed by no result is considered the same as
”No Spark.”)
