lgnition Timing Inspection and Setting
2.
1.Check the idle speed, and adjust it if necessary (see
section 1 1).
Pull out the service check connector 2P (BRN and
BLK wires) from the connector holder located under
the dash on the front passenger side, then connect
the scs service connector (P/N 07PAz - 0010100) to
it.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (A/T in N or E, Mff in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect the timing light to the No. I ignition wire,
then point the light toward the pointer on the timing
belt cover.
Check the ignition timing in no load conditions:
headlights, blower fan, rear window defogger, and
air conditioner are not operating.

Loosen the distributor mounting bolts, and turn the
distributor ignition (Dl) housing counterclockwise to
advance the timing or clockwise to retard the tim-

lgnition Control Module (lCMl Input Test
NOTE:
. See section 11 when the malfunction indicator lamp(MlL) comes on.
. Perform an input test for the ignition control module(lCM) after finishing the fundamental tests for the
ignition system and the fuel and emissions systems.
. '97 -'98 models: The tachometer should operate nor-
mally if the ICM is OK.
L Remove the distributor ignition (Dl) cap, the distrib-
utor ignition (Dl) rotor, and the leak cover.
2. Disconnect the wires from the lCM.

7.
Turn the ignition switch ON {ll). Check for voltage
between the BLK,^/EL wire and body ground. There
should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no battery voltage, check the BLK/rEL
wire betlveen the ignition switch and the lclvl.
. lf there is baftery voltage, go to step 4.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). Check for voltage
between the WHT/BLU wire and body ground. There
should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no batteryvoltage, check:- ignition coil.- WHT/BLU wire between the ICM and ignition
corl.
. lf there is battery voltage, go to step 5,
'97 model: Disconnect the ECM/PCM connector A(32P). Check for continuity on the YEL/GRN wire
between the ICM and ECM/PCM. There should be
continuity.'98 - 00 models: Disconnect the ECM,PCM connector
B (25P). Check for continuity on the YEUGRN wire
between the ICM and ECM/PCM. There should be
continuity.
Check for continuity on the YEUGRN wire to body
ground. There should be no continuity.
Reconnect the ECM/PClvl connector.
'97 -'98 models: Check for continuity on the BLU
wire between the test tachometer connector and the
lCM. There should be continuity.
'97 -'98 models: Check for continuity on the BLU
wire to body ground. There should be no continuity.
lf all the tests are normal, replace the lCM.

lgnition Coil Test
Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the
terminals. lf the resistance is not within sDecifications,
replace the ignition coil.
NOTE: Resistance will vary with the coil temperature;
specifications are at 68"F (20'C).
Plimary Winding Resistance
{Between the A and B terminals):
0.6it - 0.77 0
Secondary Winding Resistance
{Between the A and secondary winding terminals):
12.8 - 19.2 kO

lgnition Wire Inspection and Test
1.Carefully remove the ignition wires by pulling on
the rubber boots. Do not bend the wires; you might
break them inside.
Check the condition of the ignition wire terminals. lf
any terminal is corroded, clean it, and if it is broken
or distorted, replace the ignition wire.
IGNITION WIRE
Connect the ohmmeter probes and measure resis-
tance.
lgnition Wire Resistance:
25 kO max. at 68'F 120'Cl

4. lf the resistance exceeds 25 kO, replace the ignition
wire.

Rotor Slip Ring Test
1. Check the resistance between the slip rings.
There should be 1.8 - 3.0 ohms.
. lf resistance meets the specification, go to step 2
. lf resistance does not meet the specification,
replace the alternator.
SLIP RINGS
Check that there is no continuity between the slip
rings and the rotor or rotor shaft.
lf the rotor fails either continuity check, replace the
alternator.

Stator Test
1. Check that there is continuity between each pair of
leads.
Check that there is no continuity between each lead
and the coil core.
It the coil fails either continuity check, replace the
alternator.

Control Unit Input Test
SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations. precautions, and procedures in the SRS
section (241 before performing repairs or seryice.
'1. Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover and knee bolster {see section 20).
2. Disconnect the 'l4P connector from the control unit.
3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact
lf the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
lf the terminals look OK, make the following input tests at the connector.- lf any test indicates a problem. find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
- lf all the input tests prove OK, the control unit must be faulty; replace it.
