Toyota Corolla (E120): Circuit description

Hint

:

  • these dtcs indicate a malfunction related to the primary circuit.
  • If dtc p0351 is displayed, check the no.1 Ignition coil with igniter circuit.
  • If dtc p0352 is displayed, check the no.2 Ignition coil with igniter circuit.
  • If dtc p0353 is displayed, check the no.3 Ignition coil with igniter circuit.
  • If dtc p0354 is displayed, check the no.4 Ignition coil with igniter circuit.

A direct ignition system (dis) is used on this vehicle. 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 1–cylinder ignition system which ignites one cylinder with one ignition coil. In the 1–cylinder ignition system, the one spark plug is connected to the end of the secondary winding. High voltage generated in the secondary winding is applied directly to the spark plug. The spark of the spark plug passes from the center electrode to the ground electrode.

The ecm determines the ignition timing and outputs the ignition signals (igt) for each cylinder. Using the ignition (igt) signal, the ecm turns on and off the power transistor inside the igniter and this switches on and off the current to the primary coil. When the current flow to the primary coil is cut off, high–voltage is generated in the secondary coil and this voltage is applied to the spark plugs to spark inside the cylinders.

As the ecm cuts the current to the primary coil, the igniter sends back the ignition confirmation (igf) signal for each cylinder ignition to the ecm.

If the ecm does not receive the ignition confirmation signal (igf) after

If the ecm does not receive the ignition confirmation signal (igf) after sending the ignition signal (igt), it interprets this as a fault in the igniter and sets a dtc.

    If you use chains or cables to tie down your vehicle, the angles shaded in black must be 45°. Do not overly tighten the tie downs or the vehicle may be damaged. ■Before emergency towing 1 Vehicles without a smart key system: Put the engine switch in the “ACC” (engine off) or “O ...

    If the vehicle becomes stuck
    Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow: 1 Stop the engine. Set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P (automatic transmission or continuously variable transmission) or N (manual transmission). 2 Remove the mud, snow or s ...

    Registering ID codes (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
    The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is equipped with a unique ID code. When new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are installed, new ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer. ID codes can be registered by yourself, but depending on the driving con ...
