Ignition Timing Inspection

Note
^ The ignition timing cannot be adjusted.
^ The M-MDS is required to verify the ignition timing.

1. Verify the ignition timing (M-MDS: SPARKADV) using the PID/data monitor function of the M-MDS.

Ignition timing
Approx. BTDC 10°

2. Verify that ignition timing advances when the engine speed increases gradually.
^ If there is malfunction, refer to "ENGINE SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING". (See SYMPTOM DIAGNOSTIC INDEX [L3 WITH TC].)
