4.

Check the insulation between the armature coil cores and the
commutator  segments.  They  are  normal  if  there  is  no
continuity.

Check for continuity between the segments. The condition is
normal if there is continuity.

GENERAL INFORMATION

M11603000001USA0000010000

This  system  is  provided  with  six  ignition  coils  with
built-in  ignition  power  transistors  for  each  of  the
cylinders.
Interruption  of  the  primary  current  flowing  in  the
primary side of ignition coil generates a high voltage
in the secondary side of ignition coil.
The engine control module (ECM) controls the three
ignition power transistors to turn them alternately ON
and  OFF.  This  causes  the  primary  currents  in  the
ignition coils to be alternately interrupted and allowed
to flow to fire the cylinders in the order 1-2-3-4-5-6.

The  ECM  determines  which  ignition  coil  should  be
controlled by means of the signals from the camshaft
position  sensor  and  from  the  crankshaft  position
sensor.
It  also  detects  the  crankshaft  position  to  provide
ignition at the most appropriate timing in response to
the engine operation conditions.
When the engine is cold or operated at high altitudes,
the  ignition  timing  is  slightly  advanced  to  provide
optimum performance.
