Basic Inspection

When the malfunction is not confirmed in the DTC check, troubleshooting should be carried out in all the possible circuits considered as causes of the problem. In many cases, by carrying out the basic engine check shown in the following flowchart, the location causing the problem can be found quickly and efficiently. Therefore, using this check is essential in the engine troubleshooting.

1. CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE 
   NOTE: Carry out this check with the engine stopped and ignition switch OFF.

5. CHECK IDLE SPEED (See step 8 on  INSPECTION  ) 

   NG: PROCEED TO  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  

   OK: Go to next step. 

6. CHECK IGNITION TIMING (See step 7 on  INSPECTION  ) 

   NG: PROCEED TO  INSPECTION  AND CONTINUE TO TROUBLESHOOT 

   OK: Go to next step. 

7. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE (See  ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION  ) 

   NG: PROCEED TO  LOCATION  AND CONTINUE TO TROUBLESHOOT 

   OK: Go to next step. 

8. CHECK FOR SPARK (See  INSPECTION  ) 

   NG: PROCEED TO  INSPECTION  AND CONTINUE TO TROUBLESHOOT
