145 - MiTo   1.4 16v TJet   CHECK ON OPERATION OF IGNITION COILS   5510CI   


Check for a spark across the tips of spark gap SP-02 after making the appropriate connections via start up transition or by means of active diagnosis in CONTROL UNIT TEST mode. In the case of start up transition, the petrol supply pump must be interrupted so as not to damage the Lambda sensor or catalytic converter.

IGNITION SIGNAL CHECK

Make sure that the ignition key is in the OFF position

Disconnect the negative battery terminal

Disconnect fuse F21 for the 15 A pump in the engine compartment fuse junction unit

Remove the HT coil from its housing

Insert spark gap SP-02 n° 1806369000 between the HT output of the single coil and the engine block earth as shown in Fig. 1, using adaptor cable N° 3

Reconnect the battery

Turn the ignition key to the starting position and check that there is a spark between the SP-02 spark gap probes.

Repeat the same test on the other coils.

Use the Examiner to check for and delete any errors

 

Reset the single coil primary winding control circuit

Replace the coil

   Op. 5510C14 IGNITION COIL/S - R.R.

if the control signal on the coil primary winding is present

If the control signal is interrupted: restore the continuity of the wiring between the engine control unit and the coil.

If the control signal coming out of the control unit is interrupted, replace the engine management control unit
