Ignition System (2AZ-FE): Inspection

  1. INSPECT SPARK PLUG 
    1. Check the appearance.
      1. Check the spark plug for any damage on its thread and insulator.

      If there is any damage, replace the spark plug.

      Recommended spark plug: 

      RECOMMENDED SPARK PLUG REFERENCE

      Supplier Type
      DENSO SK20R11
      NGK IFR6A11

    2. Check the electrode gap.
      1. Standard: 1.0 to 1.1 mm (0.039 to 0.043 in.) for new spark plug 
      2. Maximum: 1.3 mm (0.051 in.) for used spark plug 

    If the result is greater than maximum, replace the spark plug.

  2. INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR 
    1. Check the resistance.
      1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

      Standard: 

      CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR TERMINALS RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      1 (G+) - 2 (G-) 835 to 1,400 Ω at cold
      1 (G+) - 2 (G-) 1,060 to 1,645 Ω at hot
    NOTE: Cold and Hot mean the temperature of the coils themselves. Cold is from -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F) and Hot is from 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F).

    If the result is not as specified, replace the camshaft position sensor.

  3. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR 
    1. Check the resistance.
      1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

      Standard: 

      CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR TERMINALS RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      1 (Ne+) - 2 (Ne-) 985 to 1,600 Ω at cold
      1 (Ne+) - 2 (Ne-) 1,265 to 1,890 Ω at hot
    NOTE: Cold and Hot mean the temperature of the coils themselves. Cold is from -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F) and Hot is from 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F).

    If the result is not as specified, replace the crankshaft position sensor.
