ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

NOTE: "Cold" and "Hot" in these sentences express the temperature of the coils themselves. "Cold" is from -10 °C (14 °F) to 50 °C (122 °F) and "Hot" is from 50 °C (122 °F) to 100 °C (212 °F).

INSPECT SPARK TEST
Check that the spark occurs.
1. Remove the ignition coils (with igniters).
2. Remove the spark plugs.
3. Install the spark plug to the ignition coil, and connect the ignition coil connector.
4. Disconnect the 6 injector connectors.
5. Ground the spark plug.
