Toyota Corolla (E120): On–vehicle inspection

Notice

: ”cold” and ”hot” in these sentences express the temperature of the coils themselves. ”Cold” is from –10 c (14 f) to 50 c (122 f) and ”hot” is from 50 c (122 f) to 100 c (212 f).

1. Inspect ignition coil (with igniter) and spark test

  1.  confirm dtc.

    Notice

    : if dtc is indicated, carry out troubleshooting in accordance with the procedure on the following dtc.

  2.  check that the spark occurs.
  1. Remove the ignition coils (with igniter).
  2. Using a 16 mm (0.63 In) plug wrench, remove the spark plugs.
  3.  Install the spark plugs to each ignition coils (with igniter), and connect the ignition coil connectors.
  4.  Disconnect the 4 injector connectors.
  5.  Ground the spark plugs.
  6. Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.

Notice

:

  • be sure to ground the spark plug, when checking.
  • Replace the ignition coil when it is given an impact.
  • Do not crank the engine for more than 2 seconds.

Hint

: if the spark does not occur, do the test as follow.

  1.  using a 16 mm (0.63 In.) Plug wrench, install the spark plugs.

    Torque: 25 nvm (255 Kgf·cm, 18 ft·lbf)

  2.  install the ignition coil with igniter.

    Torque: 9.0 Nvm (92 Kgf·cm, 80 in.Vlbf)

    Circuit description
    The actuator motor is operated by signals from the cruise control ecu assy. Acceleration and deceleration signals are transmitted by changes in the duty ratio (see below). Duty ratio: the duty ratio is the ratio of the period of continuity in one cycle. For example, if a is the period of co ...

    Circuit description
    When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop lamp switch assy sends a signal to the cruise control ecu assy. When the cruise control ecu assy receives this signal, it cancels the cruise control. A fail–safe function is provided so that cancel functions normally, even if there is a malfu ...
