MSTS
The MSTS has the ability to perform some trou-
bleshooting of itself and of other parts of the system.
When a problem is found, the MSTS turns the mal-
function indicator lamp in the CodeMate Tester to
ON. A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is kept in the
memory of the MSTS.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
Before using this part of the manual, you need to
know the information and the correct troubleshoot-
ing procedures. If the correct troubleshooting proce-
dures are not followed, as described in this section, it
can result in replacement of good parts.
Where to Start
There are three things to do to start troubleshooting.
The first item is to become familiar with the elec-
tronic engine control system.
Secondly, always start your work with a good visual/
physical inspection. See the following paragraph for
more explanation.
The last item on the Where-To-Start list is the
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check.
Visual/Physical Inspection
A careful visual and physical inspection must be
done as part of any diagnostic procedure. This
can cause the repair of a problem without further
steps. Inspect all vacuum hoses for correct routing,
restrictions, cuts or faulty connections. Be sure to
inspect hoses that are difficult to see beneath the air
filter. Inspect all wires in the engine compartment
for proper connections, damaged spots, or contact
with sharp edges or the exhaust manifolds. This
visual/physical inspection is very important. It must
be done carefully.
Knowledge/Tools Required
To use this manual most effectively, a general un-
derstanding of basic electrical circuits and circuit
testing tools is required. One should be familiar
with wiring diagrams, the meaning of voltage, ohms,
amps, the basic theories of electricity, and under-
stand what happens in an open or shorted wire. To
perform the troubleshooting procedures, the use of a
diagnostic CodeMate Tester is required. A tachome-
ter, test lamp, ohmmeter, digital voltmeter with 10
megohms impedance, vacuum gauge, and jumper
wires are also required. Special tools that are re-
quired for system service and the ones described
above are shown at the end of this section.
Damage from Static Discharge (Static
Electricity)
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the MSTS by static elec-
tricity, do not touch MSTS connector pins.
Electronic components used in control systems use a
very low voltage and can be easily damaged by static
discharge or static electricity. Less than 100 volts
11
Troubleshooting 2200 SRM 765
of static electricity can cause damage to some elec-
tronic components. There are several ways for a per-
son to become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and by induction.
An example of charging by friction is a person slid-
ing across a car seat; in which a charge of as much
as 2 to 5,000 volts can build up. Charging by induc-
tion occurs when a person with well insulated shoes
stands near a highly charged object and momentar-
ily touches ground. Charges of the same polarity
are drained off, leaving the person highly charged
with the opposite polarity. Static charges of either
type can cause damage; therefore, it is important to
use care when handling and testing electronic com-
ponents.
TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION
The troubleshooting diagrams and function checks
in this section are designed to find a faulty circuit
or component through logic based on the process of
elimination. The diagrams are prepared with the
requirement that the vehicle functioned correctly at
the time of assembly and that there are no multiple
failures. The MSTS does constant testing on certain
control functions. The MSTS communicates the
source of a malfunction with Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC). The DTCs are two digit numbers that
can range from 12 to 99. When a malfunction is
found by the MSTS, a DTC is set and the CodeMate
Tester malfunction indicator lamp is turned ON.
DTC codes for this MSTS are shown in Table 3.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The malfunction indicator lamp on the CodeMate
Tester has three functions:
1. To test that the lamp is functioning
2. To indicate a malfunction has occurred
3. To display the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC)
kept by the MSTS which help the technician
troubleshoot system problems.
Follow the steps described in Connecting CodeMate
Tester to install it onto the engines Diagnostic Link
Connector.
Connecting CodeMate Tester
1. Turn the engine ignition switch to OFF.
2. Locate the engine diagnostic connector.
3. Place the CodeMate Tester test switch to OFF
and plug the CodeMate into the diagnostic con-
nector.
NOTE: Make sure to slide the CodeMate Tester com-
pletely into the diagnostic connector so that the con-
nectors locking tab clicks into place.
As a bulb and systemcheck, the lamp comes ONwith
the ignition switch ON and the engine not running.
When the engine is started, the lamp turns OFF.
If the lamp remains ON, the systemhas found a prob-
lem. This problem is referred to as a current DTC. If
the problem goes away, the lamp goes out after ten
seconds. In either condition a DTC remains in the
MSTS.
When the lamp remains ON while the engine is run-
ning, or when there is a malfunction, the On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD) System Check must be done.
12
2200 SRM 765 Troubleshooting
When a problem is not regular or constant, the mal-
function indicator lamp will turn ON for approxi-
mately ten seconds and then will turn OFF. How-
ever, the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be kept in
the memory of the MSTS until the DTCs are cleared
(see DTC clearing in this section). A DTC that is
not constant can reset. If it is a problem that is not
constant, a DTC diagram is not used. When trou-
bleshooting is complete, turn the ignition switch to
OFF, and disconnect the CodeMate Tester.
Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
CAUTION
To prevent MSTS damage, the key must be
OFF when disconnecting or reconnecting
MSTS power.
The diagnostic connector is used to communicate
with the MSTS. See Figure 11. The diagnostic con-
nector is installed on the bracket near the MSTS. It
is used in the assembly plant to receive information
in checking that the engine is operating correctly
before it leaves the plant. The DTC(s) kept in the
MSTSs memory can be read with a CodeMate Tester
connected to the diagnostic connector.
1. DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR
Figure 11. Diagnostic Connector
Use the following steps to read trouble codes.
1. Install the CodeMate Tester into the diagnostic
connector. See the preceding section, Connecting
CodeMate Tester.
2. Turn the ignition key to ON but do not start the
engine.
3. Place the CodeMate Tester test switch to ON.
This puts the MSTS in the diagnostic mode.
4. Observe the sequence of flashes on the CodeMate
malfunction indicator.
At this point, the malfunction indicator lamp on
the CodeMate Tester flashes DTC 12 three times
consecutively (see Figure 12). The following is
the flash sequence for DTC 12: long pause, flash,
pause, flash-flash, long pause, flash, pause,
flash-flash, long pause, flash, pause, flash-flash.
DTC 12 (which means no crankshaft rpm signal)
indicates that the MSTSs diagnostic system is
operating correctly at this time. If DTC 12 is not
indicated, a problem is in the diagnostic system
itself.
Following the output of DTC 12, if additional
codes are stored, the malfunction indicator lamp
flashes the DTC three times. If more than one
DTC is stored in the MSTSs memory, the DTCs
are flashed starting with the lowest DTC set
and finishing with the highest DTC set. When
all DTCs have been flashed, the sequence starts
over again with DTC 12.
5. When testing is complete, place the CodeMate
test switch to OFF, turn the ignition key to OFF,
and disconnect the CodeMate Tester from the di-
agnostic connector.
6. Secure the diagnostic connector to the MSTS
bracket.

To clear the stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes fromthe
MSTS, do the following.
1. Install the CodeMate Tester into the diagnostic
connector. See the preceding section Connecting
CodeMate Tester.
2. Turn the ignition key to ON, but do not start the
engine.
3. Place the CodeMate test switch to the ON posi-
tion.
4. Turn the ignition switch to OFF for five seconds.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON and verify that
DTC-12 is the only code in the MSTS memory.
6. When testing is complete, place the CodeMate
test switch to OFF, turn the ignition key to OFF,
and disconnect the CodeMate Tester from the di-
agnostic connector.
7. Secure the diagnostic connector to the MSTS
bracket.
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
CHECK
The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check is a
troubleshooting method to find a problemcaused by a
malfunction in the electronic engine control system.
It must be the starting point for any troubleshooting.
See Figure 13.
The data shown in Table 1 can be used for compari-
son after doing the troubleshooting checks and find-
ing the on-board diagnostics working correctly with
no trouble codes shown. The data are an average of
display values from normally operating vehicles and
show a display of a normally operating system.
After the visual/physical inspection, the On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD) System Check is the starting point
for all troubleshooting procedures.
The correct procedure to find a problem is to follow
two basic steps.
1. Are the On-Board Diagnostics working? This is
determined by doing the OBD System Check.
Since this is the starting point for the trou-
bleshooting procedures, always begin here.
2. Is there a Diagnostic Trouble Code? If there
is a DTC, go directly to the flowchart for that
DTC number. This determines if the fault is still
there.
Test Description
The numbers below are a reference to the numbers
in bold in Figure 13.
1. The MIL should be ON steady with the ignition
ON and the engine OFF. To isolate the malfunc-
tion if the MIL does not light, refer to Figure 15.
2. Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 12 means no rpm
reference pulses from the ignition module. This
is correct when engine is not running.
3. For list of valid DTCs, refer to the MSTS Diag-
nostic Trouble Codes, Table 3. An invalid DTC
may be the result of a faulty MSTS.
4. If the engine does not start, refer to the trou-
bleshooting diagram (Figure 18).

When the CodeMate Tester test switch is in the OFF
position and the CodeMate is plugged into the diag-
nostic connector, the malfunction indicator lamp is
ON when the ignition is ON and engine is not run-
ning. See Figure 14. The MSTS controls the lamp
and turns it ON by connecting it to ground through
pin 3B.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the CodeMate Tester switch is in the OFF po-
sition and the CodeMate is plugged into the diag-
nostic connector, the malfunction indicator lamp is
ON when the ignition is ON and engine is not run-
ning. See Figure 16. The MSTS controls the lamp
and turns it ON by connecting it to ground through
pin 3B.
With the diagnostic connector pin B connected to
ground through pin A, the malfunction indicator
flashes a DTC-12, followed by any trouble codes
kept in memory. A steady light means a short to
ground in the light control circuit between MSTS
connector pin 3B and diagnostic connector pin E, or
an open circuit between MSTS connector pin 3C and
diagnostic connector pin B.
NOTE: THE NUMBER IN FRONT OF THE PIN DENOTES THE CONNECTOR. FOR EXAMPLE, 6D IS PIN D ON
THE 6-PIN CONNECTOR WHILE 5E IS PIN E ON THE 5-PIN CONNECTOR.

TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below are a reference to the numbers

1. If the malfunction indicator lamp is ON with the
MSTS 3-pin connector disconnected, there may
be a short in the circuit between MSTS connec-
tor pin 3B and diagnostic connector pin E. If the
lamp is off, there may be a problem with either
the connector or the MSTS.

TEST DESCRIPTION
If a tachometer has been connected to the TACH
CONN., disconnect it before doing this test. See Fig-
ure 18. The numbers below are a reference to the
numbers in bold in Figure 19.
1. Check a minimum of two spark plug wires to
make sure that one of the spark plug wire does
not have an open circuit (Spark Tester ST-125).
19
Starter Rotates Engine, Engine Does Not Run 2200 SRM 765
Figure 18. Starter Rotates Engine, Engine Does Not Run Circuit
2. If a spark occurs when the electronic spark tim-
ing (EST) connector is disconnected, the output
from the sensing coil is too low for EST opera-
tion.
3. A spark indicates that the fault is in the distrib-
utor cap or the rotor.
4. The normal voltage at the C and the + terminals
is battery voltage. A low voltage can indicate:
a. An open circuit or a high resistance circuit
from the ignition switch to the distributor to
the ignition coil or
b. An open circuit in the primary winding of the
ignition coil.
If the voltage at C is less than battery voltage, and
there is 10 volts or more at +, there is an open circuit
from C to the ignition coil or an open circuit in the
primary winding of the ignition coil.
5. Use the test light to check for a short circuit in
the ignition module. Check for approximately 12
volts between the TACH CONN. and ground.
If the voltage is low (approximately 1 to 6 volts),
there can be a fault in the ignition module. This
condition can cause a failure in the ignition coil
from too much heat. If there is an open circuit
in the primary winding of the ignition coil, a low
voltage can leak through the ignition module
from the B+ to the TACH CONN. terminal.
6. The ignition module normally goes ON when 1.5
to 8 volts is applied to terminal P from the sens-
ing coil. When the ignition module is ON, the
voltage between the TACH CONN. and ground
will normally decrease to 7 to 9 volts. This test
checks if the sensing coil or the ignition module
has a fault. When 1.5 to 8 volts is momentar-
ily applied to terminal P, this voltage acts as a
trigger voltage that replaces the voltage from the
sensing coil. The procedure shows a test light,
but any low voltage, low current source can be
used as a trigger voltage.
7. When the momentary trigger voltage is removed,
a spark is normally generated through the igni-
tion coil. If no spark occurs, replace the ignition
coil. If a spark occurs, check the sensing coil and
the rotating timer core.

2200 SRM 765 DTC-14 Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) (Low Temperature Indicated)
DTC-14 Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
(Low Temperature Indicated)
DTC-14 is set if the signal voltage indicates a coolant
temperature below 5 C ( 23 F) after the engine
runs for three minutes.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Engine Coolant Temperature sensor (ECT) uses
a thermistor to control the signal voltage to the
MSTS module. See Figure 20. The MSTS module
applies a 5-volt reference voltage (terminal 6D) to
the ECT. When the engine coolant is cold, the ther-
mistor resistance is higher than when the engine
coolant is at operating temperature. As the temper-
ature of the engine coolant increases after the engine
is started, the resistance decreases and the signal
voltage decreases. When the engine is operating
at 82 to 95 C (180 to 203 F), the signal voltage is
approximately 1.5 to 2.0 volts.
NOTE: THE NUMBER IN FRONT OF THE PIN DENOTES THE CONNECTOR. FOR EXAMPLE, 6D IS PIN D ON
THE 6-PIN CONNECTOR WHILE 5E IS PIN E ON THE 5-PIN CONNECTOR.
Figure 20. ECT Sensor Troubleshooting Circuit
TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below are a reference to the numbers
in bold in Figure 21.
1. This step determines if there is a fault in the
wiring or the MSTS module or if the fault is in
the ECT.
2. Make sure the electrical connections do not have
dirt and corrosion. If an ohmmeter is connected
across terminals A and B of the ECT, the resis-
tance normally decreases as the temperature of
the engine coolant increases.
3. This step checks if there is a fault in the wiring
to the ECT or the sensor ground.

DTC-15 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT)
(High Temperature Indicated)
DTC-15 is set if the signal voltage indicates a coolant
temperature above 135 C (275 F) for three seconds.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Engine Coolant Temperature sensor (ECT) uses
a thermistor to control the signal voltage to the
MSTS module. See Figure 22. The MSTS module
applies a 5-volt reference voltage (terminal 6D) to
the ECT. When the engine coolant is at operating
temperature, the thermistor resistance is lower than
when the engine coolant is cold. As the temperature
of the engine coolant increases after the engine is
started, the resistance decreases and the signal
voltage decreases. When the engine is operating
at 82 to 95 C (180 to 203 F), the signal voltage is
approximately 1.5 to 2.0 volts.
NOTE: THE NUMBER IN FRONT OF THE PIN DENOTES THE CONNECTOR. FOR EXAMPLE, 6D IS PIN D ON
THE 6-PIN CONNECTOR WHILE 5E IS PIN E ON THE 5-PIN CONNECTOR.

wiring or the MSTS module or if the fault is in
the ECT.
2. Make sure the electrical connections do not have
dirt and corrosion. If an ohmmeter is connected
across the terminals A and B of the ECT, the re-
sistance normally decreases as the temperature
of the engine coolant increases.

26
2200 SRM 765 DTC-34 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
DTC-34 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the load on the engine changes, the pressure
in the intake manifold changes. See Figure 24. This
pressure is less than the atmospheric pressure. The
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures
the changes in the intake manifold pressure and con-
verts these changes to a voltage signal. The MSTS
module sends a reference signal (5.0 volts) to the
MAP sensor. When the manifold pressure changes,
the electrical signal of the MAP sensor changes and
the signal is received by the MSTS module.
When the engine is at idle speed and does not have
a load on it, the normal signal voltage from the MAP
sensor is approximately 1.0 volt. When the throttle
valve is fully opened, the intake manifold pressure is
higher (less vacuum) and the signal voltage from the
MAP sensor is approximately 4.5 volts.
When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the ini-
tial voltage signal from the MAP sensor indicates
the barometric pressure (BARO signal) to the MSTS
module. The MSTS module remembers the baromet-
ric pressure (BARO signal) after the engine is run-
ning. The MSTS module then automatically adjusts
the ignition timing for different altitudes and atmo-
spheric conditions.
NOTE: THE NUMBER IN FRONT OF THE PIN DENOTES THE CONNECTOR. FOR EXAMPLE, 6C IS PIN C ON
THE 6-PIN CONNECTOR WHILE 5E IS PIN E ON THE 5-PIN CONNECTOR.
Figure 24. MAP Sensor Troubleshooting Circuit
TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below are a reference to the numbers
in bold in Figure 25.
1. This step determines if there is adequate vacuum
supply to the MAP sensor.
2. This step checks for the 5-volt reference signal in
the MAP sensor harness connection.
3. This step checks for an open circuit from pin A to
ground or an open or shorted wire between pin C
and pin 6F. See Figure 24.
4. These steps are checking the MAP signal circuit
for faults.
5. Low manifold vacuum may result from a restric-
tion in the MAP sensor hose or from vacuum
leaks in the engine air intake system.

DTC-41 Electronic Spark Timing (EST) Open Circuit
DTC-41 is set if there is an open circuit in the elec-
tronic spark timing circuit.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the system is running on the ignition module,
there is no voltage on the bypass wire and the igni-
tion module grounds the EST signal. See Figure 26.
If the MSTS senses a voltage on the EST circuit, a
Code 41 is set and the MSTS does not go into the EST
operation mode.
If the bypass wire is open or grounded, the ignition
module does not change to EST mode, and a Code 42
is indicated.
If the EST circuit has a short circuit to ground, there
is no EST signal, and a Code 42 is indicated.
Figure 26. EST Troubleshooting, Open Circuit
TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below are a reference to the numbers
in bold in Figure 27.
1. A Code 41 is indicated if there is an open circuit
in the EST circuit. This test determines if the
Code 41 is a real fault.
2. This test checks that the ground path through
the ignition module is correct. A short circuit
from MSTS connector pin 6B to ground also in-
dicates less than 500 Ohms.

DTC-42 Electronic Spark Timing (EST) Grounded Circuit
A DTC 42 is set if the EST circuit is grounded or if
there is an open circuit or a short circuit in the bypass
circuit.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the system is running on the ignition module,
there is no voltage on the bypass wire and the igni-
tion module grounds the EST signal. See Figure 28.
If the MSTS senses a voltage on the EST circuit, a
Code 41 is set and the MSTS does not go into the EST
mode.
When the engine is being started and approximately
400 rpm is sensed, bypass voltage is applied by the
MSTS. The EST circuit is no longer grounded in the
ignition module and the EST circuit voltage normally
has a variation during operation.
If the bypass wire is open or grounded, the ignition
module will not change to EST mode and a Code 42
is indicated.
If the EST circuit has a short circuit to ground, there
is no ignition signal and a Code 42 is indicated.
Figure 28. EST Troubleshooting, Grounded Circuit
TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below are a reference to the numbers
in bold in Figure 29.
1. A Code 42 is indicated if there is an open circuit
or a short circuit in the bypass circuit or if the
EST circuit is grounded. This test determines if
the Code 42 is a real fault.
2. This test checks that the ground path through
the ignition module is correct.
3. This test checks to see if the IC module makes
the switch in resistance.
4. This test checks for short circuits to ground in
the EST circuit, opens in the bypass circuit, and
faulty connections in the IC module.

Distributor Repair 2200 SRM 765
DTC-51 MSTS Failure
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Control Module (MSTS) does an inter-
nal check. If the internal check fails, the MSTS sets
DTC 51.
The number below is a reference to the number in
bold in Figure 30.
1. This step checks the MSTS. If a Code-51 is
set and all connections are correct, replace the
MSTS.
Figure 30. MSTS Failure
Distributor Repair
A distributor with a separate ignition coil is used on
all MSTS engines. The ignition coil is connected to
the rotor in the distributor through a high-voltage
wire. The operation of the ignition module and the
magnetic pulse generator is described under Opera-
tion at the beginning of this section.
When the current in the primary circuit of the ig-
nition coil quickly decreases, the induction in the
secondary circuit sends a high voltage pulse (35,000
volts) to the rotor in the distributor. The rotor is
aligned with one of the leads to a spark plug wire
and this high voltage pulse is sent to one of the spark
plugs.
REMOVE
CAUTION
Carefully lift and release lock tabs on connec-
tors to distributor. Lock tabs can be easily bro-
ken if too much force is applied with a screw-
driver or other tool.
Never permit TACH CONN. terminal to touch
ground. Ignition module or ignition coil can be
damaged.
1. Disconnect battery negative (ground) cable.
2. If removal of the spark plug wires is not required
for the repairs, leave them connected to distrib-
utor cap. Remove two capscrews that fasten dis-
tributor cap to distributor. Move distributor cap
away from work area.

10. Install gasket on gear.
11. Install rotor on shaft.
INSTALL
1. Put rotor and distributor in the same position as
it was removed from engine.
If engine has been rotated after distributor was
removed, the following procedure must be used
before distributor is installed again:
a. Remove No. 1 spark plug.
b. Put a finger over No. 1 spark plug hole and
slowly rotate engine until pressure is felt on
compression stroke.
c. Align timing mark on crankshaft pulley to 0
(TDC) on engine timing indicator.
d. Turn distributor rotor to point between posi-
tions on distributor cap for No. 1 and No. 4
spark plug leads.
e. Install distributor in engine. Rotor and shaft
will rotate a few degrees when gear on dis-
tributor shaft engages drive gear on engine
cam. Timing is correct if rotor points at the
position on distributor cap for No. 1 spark
plug lead.
2. Install clamp and bolt. Tighten bolt with your
hand.
3. Install distributor 4-terminal connector.
4. Install ignition coil connector.
5. Install distributor cap and two capscrews. If
spark plug wires were removed, install them in
correct sequence.
6. Connect battery negative cable.
7. Start engine and check engine timing. See the
following paragraphs about Ignition Timing.
8. Tighten bolt for distributor clamp to 43 Nm
(31.7 lbf ft).
IGNITION TIMING
WARNING
Do not touch moving parts (fan, belt, shafts,
pulleys).
To check the initial ignition timing set point, do the
following.
1. Warm engine to normal operating temperature.
2. Turn engines ignition switch to OFF position.
3. Make sure that CodeMate test switch is in OFF
position.
4. Plug CodeMate into diagnostic connector in en-
gine compartment.
5. Place CodeMate test switch in ON position and
start engine.
6. Check initial timing set point with a timing light.
The correct setting for initial timing set point is
8 BTDC for 3.0L engine and 0 TDC for 4.3L
engine.
7. If timing is not correct, loosen clamp that holds
distributor housing. Rotate housing right or left
to get correct timing. Tighten clamp when timing
is correct.
8. Turn ignition key to OFF position.
9. Remove CodeMate Tester from diagnostic con-
nector and place diagnostic connector into pro-
tective cover.

TEST FOR FAULT
NOTE: The ignition module can be checked in the
distributor. A test light and three jumper wires are
needed to make the tests. The battery in the vehicle
must be fully charged so that the starter rotates the
engine at the normal speed.
1. Disconnect 4-terminal connector from distrib-
utor. See Figure 32. Use two jumper wires
between distributor and 4-terminal connector to
connect the following circuits:
REFERENCE (pin C)
GROUND (pin A)
2. Connect test light to a 12-volt positive source.
Start engine. Touch probe of test light to pin B
in 4-terminal connector on distributor. When 12
volts are applied through test light to pin B (BY-
PASS), ignition module changes to EST mode.
The EST connection (pin D) is open and engine
will normally stop. This step checks the BYPASS
operation of the ignition module.
Figure 32. Ignition System Troubleshooting
3. Use a jumper to connect pin D (EST) to pin C
(REFERENCE) at distributor. Apply 12 volts
through test light to pin B(BYPASS) as described
in Step 2. Start engine. If engine starts, this
step checks that EST circuit in ignition module
is good.
4. Remove test light from pin B (BYPASS) while en-
gine is running. If engine stops, this check shows
that ignition module internally changes EST cir-
cuit to ground. Since there is a jumper wire be-
tween pin D (EST) to pin C (REFERENCE), the
REFERENCE signal is also sent to ground and
engine stops.
5. If any tests described in Step 2, Step 3, or Step 4
do not work as indicated, check wiring harness
for a short circuit or an open circuit. If wiring
harness is good, replace ignition module.
6. When the tests are complete, connect system for
normal operation.

REPLACE
1. Remove distributor cap and rotor.
2. Remove two screws that hold ignition module in
distributor.
3. Lift ignition module and disconnect connections.
Make a note of the connections so that they can
be correctly connected again. Remove ignition
module from distributor.
NOTE: Do not remove silicon grease from ignition
module or distributor if the same ignition module will
be installed again. If a new ignition module is in-
stalled, a small container of silicon grease is in the
package. Clean old silicon grease and apply a new
layer of silicon grease to ignition module and dis-
tributor housing. This silicon grease is necessary for
cooling the ignition module.
4. Connect connectors in distributor to ignition
module. Make sure connectors are the same as
when they were removed.
5. Install ignition module in distributor.
6. Install two screws that fasten ignition module in
distributor.
