Monitor Actuation Test

NOTE: The main purpose of this test is to identify potential engine mechanical condition problems and fuel and ignition systems problems that are not common to all cylinders. For best results, perform this test while maintaining as steady an rpm reading as possible.

CAUTION: Before beginning tests; set the parking brake, place gear selector in P or N and block drive wheels for safety.

Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and let it idle.
Install Scan Tool and select "INJECTOR #1" parameter on the Actuation Test mode shown in Fig 1.
Monitor engine rpm and shut off the injector #1 by pressing "STRT(F1)" key
Repeat procedure on all injectors and record the engine rpm.
Specification : All cylinders should show an even RPM drop.

Was each cylinder's rpm drop within the same value?
YES
- Go to TIMING INSPECTION procedure.
NO
- Cylinders with the least amount of RPM drop are not contributing their share of power. Go to SPARK PLUG CABLE INSPECTION procedure.
NOTE: If the RPM loss between cylinders is quite large(200RPM or more) and engine has high mileage, there is possibility of engine wear. Perform compression test with pressure gauge to check the engine wear.
