DTC P1300 Igniter Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A Direct Ignition System (DIS) 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 end 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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame
records the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for deter-
mining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio was
lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
1 Check spark plug and spark of misfiring cylinder (See page DI-57 ).
NG Go to step 4.
OK
2 Check for open and short in harness and connector in IGF signal circuit between
ECM and igniter (See page IN-28 ).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.

3 Disconnect igniter connector and check voltage between terminal IGF of ECM
connector and body ground.
ON
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect the igniter connector.
IGF
(b) Remove the glove compartment (See page SF-54 ).
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure the voltage between terminal IGF of the ECM connec-
(+) (-) tor and body ground.
OK:

OK Replace igniter.
NG
Check and replace ECM (See page IN-28 ).
4 Check for open and short in harness and connector in IGT signal circuit between
ECM and igniter (See page IN-28 ).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.
OK
5 Check voltage between terminals IGT1 - IGT3 of ECM connector and body
ground.
START PREPARATION:
Remove the glove compartment (See page SF-54 ).
IGT1 IGT2 IGT3 CHECK:
Measure the voltage between terminal IGT1 - IGT3 of the ECM
connector and body ground when the engine is cranked.
OK:
(+) (-) Voltage: More than 0.1 V and less than 4.5 V
