3

Disconnect igniter connector and check voltage between terminal IGF of ECM
connector and body ground.

PREPARATION:
(a)

Disconnect the igniter connector.

(b)

Remove the glove compartment (See page 

SF–64

).

(c)

Turn ignition switch ON.

CHECK:

body ground.
OK:

Voltage:  4.5 

∼

 5.5 V

OK

 Replace igniter.

NG

Check and replace ECM (See page 

IN–27

).

4

Check for open and short in harness and connector in IGT 1 

∼

 3 signal circuits 

between ECM and igniter (See page 

IN–27

).

NG

 Repair or replace harness or connector.

OK

5

Check voltage between terminals IGT 1 

∼

 3 of ECM connector and body ground.

PREPARATION:
Remove the glove compartment (See page 

SF–64

).

CHECK:
Measure voltage between terminals IGT 1 

∼

 3 of ECM connec-

tor and body ground when engine is cranked.
