0201 - Ignition Signal

DTC 0201 Ignition Signal




Component Description

IGNITION COIL & POWER TRANSISTOR
The ignition signal from the ECM is sent to the power transistor. The power transistor switches on and off the ignition coil primary circuit. As the primary circuit is turned on and off, the proper high voltage is induced in the coil secondary circuit.

Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and 32 (ECCS ground).




On Board Diagnosis Logic

DTC Confirmation Procedure

NOTE:
- If "DTC Confirmation Procedure" has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 5 seconds before conducting the next test.
- If both DTC P0340 (0101. and P1320 (0201. are displayed, perform trouble diagnosis for "DTC P0340 CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (CMPS)" first.




With CONSULT
1. Turn ignition switch "ON".
2. Select "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT.
3. Start engine. (If engine does not run, turn ignition switch to START" for at least 5 seconds.)

With GST
1. Start engine. (If engine does not run, turn ignition switch to START" for at least 5 seconds.)
2. Select MODE 7 with GST.

No Tools
1. Start engine. (If engine does not run, turn ignition switch to START" for at least 5 seconds.)
2. Turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 5 seconds, then turn "ON".
3. Perform "Diagnostic Test Mode II" (Self-diagnostic results) with ECM.

Diagnostic Procedure




Wiring Diagram

Component Inspection
IGNITION COIL










1. Disconnect ignition coil harness connector.
2. Check resistance as shown in the figure.
For checking secondary coil, remove distributor cap and measure resistance between coil tower metal tip 9 and terminal 7. If NG, replace distributor assembly as a unit.

POWER TRANSISTOR







1. Disconnect camshaft position sensor & power transistor harness connector and ignition coil harness connector.
2. Check power transistor resistance between terminals 2 and 8.
If NG, replace distributor assembly.

RESISTOR




1. Disconnect resistor harness connector.
2. Check resistance between terminals 1 and 2.

Resistance: Approximately 2.2 K Ohms at 25°C (77°F)

If NG, replace resistor.
