DTC P1300
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A DIS (Direct Ignition System) has been adopted. The DIS improves the ignition timing accuracy, reduces
high–voltage loss, and enhances the overall reliability of the ignition system by eliminating the distributor.
The DIS is a 2–cylinder simultaneous ignition system which ignites 2 cylinders simultaneously with one igni-
tion coil. In the 2–cylinder simultaneous ignition system, each of the 2 spark plugs is connected to the end
of the secondary winding. High voltage generated in the secondary winding is applied directly to the spark
plugs. The sparks of the 2 spark plugs pass simultaneously from the center electrode to the ground elec-
trode.
The ECM determines ignition timing and outputs the ignition signals (IGT) for each cylinder. Based on IGT
signals, the igniter controls the primary ignition signals (IGC) for all ignition coils. At the same time, the igniter
also sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) as a fail–safe measure to the ECM.
DTC No.
Condition (a) is repeated 3 times consecutively during 6
P1300 consecutively IGT signals while engine is running
(a) IGF signal is not input to ECM for 2 or more ignitions
