With the DRBIII , read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data.
Is the Good Trip Counter displayed and equal to zero?
Yes → Go To 2
→ Go To 9
No
2 NOTE: This test must be repeated for the adjacent ignition wire.
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the ignition wire from the spark plug.
NOTE: Before continuing inspect the ignition wire for damage or carbon
tracking coil or the spark plug insulator boot. If a problem is found, replace
the ignition wire.
Install a spark tester to the ignition wire.
