E-RAVE SOLENOID

A32CA1A
1. E-RAVE solenoid
Resistance Test
Disconnect the solenoid connector.
Check resistance value between both terminals of
the solenoid.
The resistance value should be approximately
30
.
Voltage Test
Install the tether cord cap and push the
START/RER button momentarily to activate ECM.
Battery voltage should be present on VIO-
LET/GREY wire. If test fail, fuse may be blown.
Continuity Test
BROWN/WHITE wire must show continuity be-
tween solenoid connector and pin 15 on connec-
tor DB from the ECM.
If test fail, repair connector or replace wiring har-
ness between ECM connector and solenoid.
Replacement
Remove the air intake silencer. Unplug the sole-
noid connector and all hoses.
NOTE: Mark hose locations for installation.
Remove solenoid screws then the solenoid.
For installation, reverse the removal procedure.
DOUBLE IGNITION COIL
A33I0AB
1
1. Ignition coil
NOTE: The ECM energizes the primary side of
each ignition coil individually. It can detect if the
double ignition coil is connected otherwise a trou-
ble code will appear upon starting.
Using the vehicle communication kit (VCK) with
the B.U.D.S. software, energize the ignition coil
from the Activation section.
You should hear the spark occurring. In doubt, use
an inductive spark tester or a sealed tester – avail-
able from after-market tool/equipment suppliers –
to prevent spark occurring in the engine compart-
ment. Otherwise, perform the following checks.
An ignition coil with good resistance measure-
ment can still be faulty. Voltage leak can occur
at high voltage level which is not detectable with
an ohmmeter. Replacing the ignition coil may be
necessary as a test.
Voltage Test
WARNING
When disconnecting coil from spark plug, al-
ways disconnect coil from main harness first.
Never check for engine ignition spark from
an open coil and/or spark plug in the engine
compartment as spark may cause fuel vapor
to ignite.
Disconnect the plug connector from the ignition
coil and check the voltage supplied by the battery.
