NOTE: Ignition checks are divided according to fuel system.
SPARK TEST
1) Using an ohmmeter, check resistance of each spark plug
wire. See HIGH TENSION WIRE RESISTANCE table. Check for a strong Blue
spark at coil wire and at each spark plug wire by holding wire
terminal 5/16" from ground while cranking engine.
2) Disconnect and inspect all related ignition system
connectors and harness. Clean or repair if necessary. If related
connectors and harness are okay, remove negative battery cable.
Disconnect secondary and primary leads from ignition coil.
3) Using ohmmeter, check primary resistance between primary
terminals of coil. Check secondary resistance between coil secondary
terminal and primary positive terminal. Replace coil if readings are
not within specifications. See IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE table.

(1) - Ignition coil pack, new for 1993, is located on
left side of cylinder head. When ignition coil is
triggered, spark is supplied to 2 spark plugs at
one time. One spark plug fires during compression
stroke and the other plug fires during exhaust
stroke (waste spark). Ignition coil specifications
are not available from manufacturer.ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ DISTRIBUTOR
Hall Effect Sender
1) Remove coil secondary wire and attach to ground.
Disconnect Hall Effect sender harness connector at distributor. Using
an LED Test Light (US 1115), check for voltage between outer terminals
of connector. See Figs. 2 and 3. With ignition on, light should be on.
If light is on, go to next step. If light is not on, check wiring for
short or open circuit. If wiring is okay, replace ignition control
unit.
2) Reconnect Hall Effect sender harness connector. Pull back
Hall Effect sender boot to expose contact terminals. Connect LED Test
Light (US 1115) probe to center contact and battery positive terminal.
See Fig. 2. Observe test light while cranking engine. If test light
blinks, Hall Effect sender is okay. If light does not blink, replace
Hall Effect sender.Fig. 2: Testing Hall Effect Sender (Typical)

1) With ignition off, disconnect Hall Effect sender harness
connector. Using a voltmeter, check for voltage between outer
terminals No. 1 and No. 3. See Fig. 3. Turn ignition on. There should
be a minimum of 9 volts on vehicles with CIS-E fuel system, or 10
volts on vehicles with Digifant fuel system.
2) If there is no voltage, check for open wire between
terminal No. 3 of Hall Effect sender connector and ECU. Also check for
voltage between terminal No. 1 of Hall Effect sender and ground.
Repair open and recheck.Fig. 3: Testing Hall Effect Sender Connector (Typical)

POWER STAGE
Voltage Supply & Ground To Power Stage
1) Turn ignition off. Disconnect coil power stage harness
connector. Connect a voltmeter to terminals No. 1 and No. 3. See
Fig. 4.
2) Turn ignition on. Ensure battery voltage is present. Turn
ignition off. If voltage is not present, check for open wire from fuse
box to terminal No. 1, or open from terminal No. 3 to ground. Repair
open wire and recheck.

1) Perform spark test. See SPARK TEST under IGNITION CHECKS.
If secondary spark is present, ignition control unit is okay. If
secondary spark is not present, turn ignition off. Disconnect ignition
control unit wire harness connector. Turn ignition on. Using a
voltmeter, measure voltage between terminal No. 2 (-) and terminal No.
4 (+) of connector. See Fig. 5.
2) Battery voltage should be present. If battery voltage is
not present, ensure continuity exists between terminal No. 2 and
ground. Continuity must also exist between terminal No. 4 and ignition
coil positive terminal. Repair wiring if necessary. If wiring is okay,
replace ignition control unit.Fig. 5: Checking Hall Control Unit Voltage (Typical)

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:
Passenger vehicles equipped with VR6 engines.
SYSTEM:
Engine cooling system; fan.
FAULT:
Broken, Shattered, Cracked, Split, Collapse
DESCRIPTION OF DEFECT:
Improper material was used in manufacturing the radiator fan motor
shaft causing the shaft to wear and become noisy.
CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT:
A worn and noisy fan motor shaft can seize rendering the fan motor
inoperative, eventually causing the engine to overheat and stall.
A stalled vehicle in traffic can increase the potential for a vehicle
accident.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
Dealers will replace the complete cooling fan assembly on vehicle
having the potential shaft material problem. Dealers will install
a new fan blade including a new lock nut on vehicle with loose fan
blade lock nuts.

CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
WARNING: Contact with live components of ignition system while
engine is running could lead to a fatal electric shock.
RADIATOR FAN
Keep hands away from radiator fan. Fan is controlled by a
thermostatic switch which may come on or run for up to 15 minutes even
after engine is turned off.
RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the
radiator fan. The fan is temperature controlled and could
