Circuit/System Testing
- Turn OFF the ignition.
- Disconnect the ECM.
- Test the affected IC circuit for the following.
- Short to voltage
- Short to ground
- Open/high resistance
- If a fault is found, repair the circuit as needed.
- Connect the ECM.
- Exchange the affected ignition coil/module with the ignition/coil module of a good cylinder.
- Start the engine and observe the scan tool.
- If the DTC or the misfire transfers with the suspect ignition/coil module, replace the ignition/coil.
- If the DTC or the misfire does not transfer with the suspect ignition/coil module, replace the ECM.
IMPORTANT:
A high resistance on any IC circuit can cause a misfire before the DTC sets.
