Description
Hint:
A direct ignition system (dis) is used on this vehicle.
The dis is a 1-cylinder ignition system in which each cylinder is ignited by one ignition coil and one spark plug is connected to the end of each secondary wiring. A powerful voltage, generated in the secondary wiring, is applied directly to each spark plug. The sparks of the spark plugs pass from the center electrode to the ground electrodes.
The ecm determines the ignition timing and transmits the ignition (igt) signals to each cylinder. Using the igt signal, the ecm turns the power transistor inside the igniter on and off. The power transistor, in turn, switches on and off the current to the primary coil. When the current to the primary coil is cut off, a powerful voltage is generated in the secondary coil. This voltage is applied to the spark plugs, causing them to spark inside the cylinders. As the ecm cuts the current to the primary coil, the igniter sends back an ignition confirmation (igf) signal to the ecm, for each cylinder ignition.
Reference: inspection using an oscilloscope.
While cranking or idling the engine, check the waveform between terminals igt (1
to 4) and e1, and igf1
and e1 of the ecm connector.
Monitor description
If the ecm does not receive any igf signals despite transmitting the igt signal, it interprets this as a fault in the igniter and sets a dtc.
If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a dtc is set 1 second after the engine is next started.

Inspection procedure
Hint:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

Ecm communication circuit malfunction
Description
The circuit is used to send trc and vsc control information from the skid
control ecu to the ecm, and
engine control information from the ecm to the skid control ecu.

On-vehicle inspection
Hint:
When pressing the switch for 0.3 Seconds or less, the roof
glass moves but auto operation does not operate.
Check auto operation
Turn the ignition switch on.
When the roof glass is fully closed, press the slide
