diag. flow.

Go to Step 4.

4

Electrical connection check
1) Check ignition coil assemblies and high-tension cords 

(for M16 engine) for electrical connection.

Are they connected securely?

Go to Step 5 for M16 
engine or go to Step 6 
for J20 engine.

Connect securely.

1H-6 Ignition System: For Petrol Engine Model

5

High-tension cords check (for M16 engine)
1) Check high-tension cord for resistance referring to 

“High-Tension Cord Inspection (For M16 Engine): For 
Petrol Engine Model”.

Is check result satisfactory?

Go to Step 6.

Replace high-tension 
cord(s).

6

Ignition coil assembly power supply and ground circuit 
check
1) Check ignition coil assembly power supply and ground 

circuits for open and short.

Are circuits in good condition?

Go to Step 7.

Repair or replace.

7

Ignition Spark Test

S6JB0A1804004

1) Remove engine cover.
2) Disconnect all injector couplers from injectors.

WARNING

!

 

Without disconnection of injector couplers, combustible gas may come out from spark plug holes 
during this test and may get ignited in engine room.

 

3) Remove spark plug and check it for condition and type referring to “Spark Plug Inspection: For Petrol Engine 

Model”.

4) If OK, connect ignition coil coupler to ignition coil assembly and connect spark plug to ignition coil assembly or 

high-tension cord. Ground spark plug.

5) Crank engine and check if each spark plug sparks.

6) If no spark is emitted, inspect the related parts as described in “Ignition System Symptom Diagnosis: For Petrol 

Engine Model”.
