Title: 2GR-FE (ENGINE CONTROL): IGNITION SYSTEM: ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION; 2016 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 08/2016] |
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT IGNITION COIL ASSEMBLY AND PERFORM SPARK TEST
(a) Check for DTCs (See page
).
NOTICE:
If any DTC is present, perform troubleshooting in accordance with the procedure for that DTC.
(b) Check that spark occurs.
(1) Remove the 6 ignition coils and 6 spark plugs (See page
).
(2) Disconnect the 6 fuel injector connectors.
|
|
(3) Install the spark plug into the ignition coil, and then connect the ignition coil connector.
|
|
(4) Ground the spark plug.
(5) Check that spark occurs at each spark plug while the engine is being cranked.
NOTICE:
-
Be sure to ground the spark plugs when checking them.
-
If an ignition coil has been struck or dropped, replace it.
-
Do not crank the engine for more than 2 seconds.
If spark does not occur, perform the following procedure.
(c) Perform the following spark test procedure.
(1) Check that the wire harness side connector of the ignition coil with igniter is securely connected.

(d) Connect the 6 fuel injector connectors.
(e) Install the 6 spark plugs and 6 ignition coils (See page
).
(f) Clear the DTCs (See page
).
(g) Check for DTCs (See page
).
HINT:
Reinstall the sensors, connectors, etc. and restore the previous vehicle conditions before rechecking for DTCs.
2. INSPECT SPARK PLUG
NOTICE:
-
Do not use a wire brush for cleaning.
-
Do not attempt to adjust the electrode gap of a used spark plug.
(a) Check the electrode using a megohmmeter.
Text in Illustration
(1) Using a megohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance.
Standard Resistance:
10 MΩ or more
If the result is below 10 MΩ, clean the plug and measure the resistance again.
|
|
(b) Check the electrode without using a megohmmeter.
(1) Quickly accelerate the engine to 4000 rpm 5 times.
(2) Remove the spark plug.
(3) 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.
|
|
(c) Check the spark plug for any damage to its threads and insulator.
If there is any damage, replace the spark plug.
Recommended Spark Plug:
Manufacturer
|
Spark Plug Type
|
DENSO
|
FK20HR11
|
(d) Reference:
(1) Check the spark plug electrode gap.
Text in Illustration
Maximum Electrode Gap for Used Spark Plug:
1.4 mm (0.0551 in.)
If the gap is greater than the maximum, replace the spark plug.
Electrode Gap for New Spark Plug:
1.0 to 1.1 mm (0.0394 to 0.0433 in.)
|
|
(e) Clean the spark plug.
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/cm2, 85 psi)
Standard Duration:
20 seconds or less
HINT:
Only use the 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.
