Distributor: Testing and Inspection

In the electronic engine control system used on this vehicle, two signals generated by the distributor crank angle sensor are used by the ECU in its calculations for various outputs. When problems with these signals are detected, malfunction codes are set and can be retrieved from the on-board diagnostic system.

A faulty "Ne" signal will set malfunction code 02. A problem with the "G1" signal will set malfunction code 03. "G2" will set malfunction code 04. See On-Board Diagnostics.

PICK-UP RESISTANCE CHECK

Pick-Up Coil Resistance Check:

1. Unplug distributor connector.
2. Check resistance across connector terminals (distributor side) as described on image chart.
3. If not as specified, replace distributor.
