IGNITION SYSTEM CHECK (1.4L/1.6L DOHC)
Circuit Description
The Electronic Ignition (EI) system uses a waste spark
method of spark distribution. In this type of EI system, the
Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is mounted to the oil
pump near a slotted wheel that is a part of the crankshaft
pulley. The CKP sensor sends reference pulses to the en-
gine control module (ECM). The ECM then triggers the EI
system ignition coil. Once the ECM triggers the EI system
ignition coil, both of the connected spark plugs fire at the
same time. One cylinder is on its compression stroke at
the same time that the other is on the exhaust stroke, re-
sulting in lower energy needed to fire the spark plug in the
cylinder on its exhaust stroke.
This leaves the remainder of the high voltage to be used
to fire the spark plug in the cylinder on its compression
stroke. Since the CKP sensor is in a fixed position, timing
adjustments are not possible or needed.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostictable.
2. It is important to check for the presence of spark to
all of the cylinders to isolate the problem to either
EI system ignition coil inputs or outputs.
5. In checking the ECM outputs for the electronic
spark timing signal, it recommended to use an os-
cilloscope to view the varying voltage signals. In
measuring these outputs with a voltmeter, intermit-
tent errors may occur that cannot be seen by a volt-
meter.
6. After confirming ECM inputs for the electronic spark
timing to the EI system ignition coil are OK, it can
be determined that a faulty EI system ignition coil is
at fault.
11. After confirming proper CKP sensor inputs to the
ECM and no wiring problems present, it can be de-
termined that the ECM is at fault.
24. This step, along with step 25, checks for battery
voltage and a ground to the EI system ignition coil.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CIRCUIT CHECK – DUAL FAN
(1.4L/1.6L DOHC)
Circuit Description
The engine cooling fan circuit operates the main cooling
fan and the auxiliary cooling fan. The cooling fans are con-
trolled by the engine control module (ECM) based on in-
puts from the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor
and the Air Conditioning Pressure (ACP) sensor. The
ECM controls the low speed cooling fan operation by inter-
nally grounding the ECM connector terminal 10. This ener-
gizes the low speed cooling fan relay and operates the
main cooling fan and the auxiliary cooling fan at low speed
as the cooling fans are connected in a series circuit. The
ECM controls the high speed cooling fan operation by in-
ternally grounding the ECM connector terminal 10 and the
ECM connector terminal 9 at the same time. This ener-
gizes the low speed cooling fan relay, the high speed cool-
ing fan relay, and the series/parallel cooling fan relay re-
sulting in high speed fan operation as the cooling fans are
now connected in a parallel circuit.
Diagnostic Aids
S If the owner complained of an overheating problem,
it must be determined if the complaint was due to
an actual boil over, or the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge indicated overheating. If the engine is
overheating and the cooling fans are on, the cooling
system should be checked.
S If the engine fuse block fuses Ef11 become open
(blown) immediately after installation, inspect for a
short to ground in the wiring of the appropriate cir-
cuit. If the fuses become open (blown) when the
cooling fans are to be turned on by the ECM, sus-
pect a faulty cooling fan motor.
S The ECM will turn the cooling fans on at low speed
when the coolant temperature is 97°C (207°F). The
ECM will turn the cooling fans off when the coolant
temperature is 94°C(201°F).
S The ECM will turn the cooling fans on at high speed
when the coolant temperature is 101°C (214°F).
The ECM will change the cooling fans from high
speed to low speed when the coolant temperature
is 98°C (208°F).S The ECM will turn the cooling fans on at low speed
when the A/C system is on. The ECM will change
the cooling fans from low speed to high speed
when the high side A/C pressure is 1882 kPa (273
psi) then return to low speed when the high side
A/C pressure is 1448 kPa (210 psi). When the A/C
system is on, the ECM will change the cooling fans
from low to high speed when the coolant tempera-
ture reaches 117°C (244°F) then return to low
speed when the coolant temperature reaches
11 4°C (237°F).
S The cooling fan circuit can be checked quickly by
disconnecting the ECM connector 2 and grounding
the connector terminal 10. This should create low
speed cooling fan operation with the ignition ON. By
grounding the ECM connector terminals 10 and 9
and turning the ignition ON, high speed cooling fan
operation should be achieved.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
4. This step, along with step 5, checks for the ability of
the ECM to operate the cooling fans.
8. This step, along with step 9, checks for the ability of
the ECM to operate the cooling fans in response to
A/C pressure readings.
16. After confirming battery voltage and the ECM sup-
plying a ground to the coil side of the cooling fan
relay A, by jumpering connector terminals 30 and
87 it will be determined if the relay is at fault or a
wiring problem is present.
31. This step checks for the presence of battery volt-
age to the main cooling fan when the A/C is on. If
battery voltage is present and the cooling fans are
not operating, the problem is in the ground side of
the cooling fan circuit.
37. By directly grounding the ECM connector terminals
10 and 9, the main and auxiliary cooling fans
should run at high speed.
