Turn ignition off. Disconnect ignition control module (ICM) 4-pin connector mounted on ignition coil. Check for continuity between terminal No. 4 (Black wire) and ground. See Fig 1. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, check for an open Black wire, disconnected terminals or a poor G101 ground located near Idle Air Control (IAC) valve.

Turn ignition on. Check voltage between ICM 4-pin connector terminals No. 3 (Black/Yellow wire) and No. 4 (Black wire). If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, check for an open in Black/Yellow wire between ignition coil and ICM, disconnected terminals or faulty ignition coil.
With ignition on, check for battery voltage between ICM 4-pin connector terminals No. 2 (Green wire) and No. 4 (Black wire). If battery voltage does not exist, check for an open in Green wire between ignition coil and ICM. Repair as necessary. If Green wire is okay, substitute a known-good ignition coil and recheck.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

• You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.

• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.

• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.

• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.

• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
