Circuit/System Testing
- Turn OFF the ignition.
- Disconnect the PCM.
- Test the affected IC circuit for an open, a high resistance, a short to ground and for a short to voltage.
- If a fault is found, repair the circuit as needed.
- Connect the PCM.
- 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 as needed.
- If the DTC or the misfire does not transfer with the suspect ignition/coil module, replace the PCM.
IMPORTANT:
A high resistance on any IC circuit can cause a misfire before the DTC sets.
