- PERFORM SPARK TEST Check for DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-diagnostics-introduction__dtc-check-clear) . NOTE: If any DTC is output, perform troubleshooting procedures for that DTC. Remove the ignition coil assemblies and spark plugs. Refer to «REMOVAL»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/engine-control-systems/#engine-control-system-service-information) . Disconnect the 4 injector connectors. Set the vehicle to inspection mode (maintenance mode). Refer to «INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/hoistjack/#introduction) . (Step 3) Install the spark plug into the ignition coil assembly, and then connect the ignition coil connector. (Step 4) Ground the spark plug. (Step 5) Check that spark occurs at each spark plug while the engine is being cranked. (Step 6) NOTE: Be sure to ground the spark plugs when checking them. Do not crank the engine for more than 2 seconds. If a spark plug has been struck or dropped, replace it. If an ignition coil assembly has been struck or dropped, replace it. HINT: Repeat steps 3 to 6 for each spark plug and ignition coil assembly. If spark does not occur for any cylinder, perform the following Inspect Ignition Coil and Spark Test procedure. Connect the 4 fuel injector connectors. Install the spark plugs and ignition coil assemblies. Refer to «INSTALLATION»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/engine-control-systems/#engine-control-system-service-information) . Check for DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-diagnostics-introduction__dtc-check-clear) . Clear the DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-diagnostics-introduction__dtc-check-clear) .
- INSPECT IGNITION COIL AND SPARK TEST HINT: Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the spark plug or ignition coil assembly. Refer to «INITIALIZATION»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-diagnostics-introduction) . Check that the wire harness side connector of the ignition coil assembly is securely connected. RESULT Result Action NG Connect securely OK Go to next step Perform a spark test on each ignition coil assembly. Replace the ignition coil assembly with a known good one. Set the vehicle to inspection mode (maintenance mode). Refer to «INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/hoistjack/#introduction) . Perform the spark test again. RESULT Result Action NG Go to next step OK Replace ignition coil assembly Perform a spark test on each spark plug. Replace the spark plug with a known good one. Set the vehicle to inspection mode (maintenance mode). Refer to «INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/hoistjack/#introduction) . Perform the spark test again. RESULT Result Action NG Inspect the ignition system. Refer to «DTC P0351: Ignition Coil "A" Primary / Secondary Circuit; DTC P0352: Ignition Coil "B" Primary / Secondary Circuit; DTC P0353: Ignition Coil "C" Primary / Secondary Circuit; DTC P0354: Ignition Coil "D" Primary / Secondary Circuit»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-diagnostic-codes-p0300-p0657) . OK Replace spark plug NOTE: If the ignition coil assembly has been struck or dropped, replace it. If the spark plug has been struck or dropped, replace it.
- CHECK SPARK PLUG NOTE: Do not use a wire brush for cleaning. Do not adjust the electrode gap of a used spark plug. HINT: Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the spark plug. Refer to «INITIALIZATION»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-diagnostics-introduction) . Check the electrode using a megohmmeter: TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION *a Ground Using a megohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance. Standard Insulation Resistance Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Spark plug (terminal part) - Body ground Always 10 Mohms or higher HINT: If the result is not as specified, clean the spark plug with a spark plug cleaner and measure the resistance again. If a megohmmeter is not available, perform the following simple inspection instead. Alternative inspection method: Quickly accelerate the engine to 4000 rpm 5 times. Remove the spark plug. Refer to «REMOVAL»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/engine-control-systems/#engine-control-system-service-information) . Visually check the spark plug. If the electrode is dry, the spark plug is functioning properly. If the electrode is damp, proceed to the next step. Check the spark plug for any damage to its thread and insulator. If there is any damage, replace the spark plug. Recommended Spark Plug Manufacturer Spark Plug Type DENSO FK16R-A8 Reference: Check the spark plug electrode gap. Maximum electrode gap for a used spark plug 1.1 mm (0.0433 in.) If the gap is more than the maximum, replace the spark plug. NOTE: Never attempt to adjust the gap of a used plug. Electrode gap for a new spark plug 0.7 to 0.8 mm (0.0276 to 0.0315 in.) TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION *a Spark plug electrode gap Clean the spark plugs. If the electrode has traces of wet carbon, clean the electrode with a spark plug cleaner and then dry it. Standard air pressure 588 kPa (6.0 kgf/cm 2 , 85 psi) Standard duration 20 seconds or less HINT: Only use a spark plug cleaner when the electrode is free of oil. If the electrode has traces of oil, use gasoline to clean off the oil before using the spark plug cleaner. Install the spark plug. Refer to «INSTALLATION»(/toyota/prius-c/i-2011-2015/remont/engine-control-systems/#engine-control-system-service-information) .
