The harness be-
tween both con-
nectors are
shielded. Repair
ground short circuit
in harness togeth-
er with shield.

Go to step 3.

3

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN CAMSHAFT 
POSITION SENSOR AND ECM CONNEC-
TOR.
Measure the resistance of harness between 
camshaft position sensor connector and 
engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(E15) No. 2 — Engine ground:

Is the measured value less than the specified 
value?

5 

Ω

Go to step 4.

Repair the har-
ness and connec-
tor.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following:
• Open circuit in 
harness between 
camshaft position 
sensor and ECM 
connector
• Poor contact in 
ECM connector
• Poor contact in 
coupling connector

4

CHECK CONDITION OF CAMSHAFT POSI-
TION SENSOR.
Is the camshaft position sensor installation bolt 
tightened securely?

Tightened securely.

Go to step 5.

Tighten the cam-
shaft position sen-
sor installation bolt 
securely.

5

CHECK CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR.
1) Remove the camshaft position sensor.
2) Measure the resistance between connector 

terminals of camshaft position sensor.

Terminals

No. 1 — No. 2:

Is the measured value within the specified 
value?

1 — 4 k

Ω

Repair the poor 
contact in cam-
shaft position sen-
sor connector.

Replace the cam-
shaft position sen-
sor.  <Ref. to

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK SPARK PLUG CONDITION.
1) Remove the spark plug. <Ref. to 

IG(H4DOSTC)-5, REMOVAL, Spark Plug.>

2) Check the spark plug condition. <Ref. to 

IG(H4DOSTC)-6, INSPECTION, Spark 
Plug.>
Is spark plug’s status OK?

OK

Go to step 2.

Replace the spark 
plug.

2

CHECK IGNITION SYSTEM FOR SPARKS.
1) Connect the spark plug to ignition coil.
2) Release the fuel pressure. <Ref. to 

FU(H4DOSTC)-44, RELEASING OF FUEL 
PRESSURE, OPERATION, Fuel.>

3) Contact the spark plug's thread portion on 

engine.

4) While opening throttle valve fully, crank the 

engine to check that spark occurs at each 
cylinder.
Does the spark occur at each cylinder?

Spark occurs.

Check the fuel 
pump system.
