DTC P1310 IGNITER CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION (NO.3)

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

DTC Detecting Condition:

A Direct Ignition System (DIS) has been adopted. The DIS improves the ignition timing accuracy, reduces the high-voltage loss, and enhances overall reliability of the ignition system by eliminating the distributor. The DIS is a 1-cylinder ignition system which ignites 1 cylinder with 1 ignition coil. In the 1-cylinder ignition system, the spark plug is connected to the end of the secondary winding. High voltage generated in the secondary winding is applied directly to the spark plug. The spark of the spark plug passes through from the center electrode to the ground electrode.

The ECM determines ignition timing and outputs the ignition signals (IGT) of each cylinder. Based on IGT signals, the power transistors cut off the current to the primary coil in the ignition coil. At the same time, the igniter also sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) as a fail-safe measurement to the ECM.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
- If DTC P1300/14 is displayed, check the No.1 ignition coil with the igniter circuit.
- If DTC P1305/15 is displayed, check the No.2 ignition coil with the igniter circuit.
- If DTC P1310/14 is displayed, check the No.3 ignition coil with the igniter circuit.
- If DTC P1315/15 is displayed, check the the No.4 ignition coil with the igniter circuit.
- Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool, as freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, this is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
