Ignition Timing Inspection
Aim the light toward the pointer (A) on the cam chain case. Check the ignition timing under a no load condition (headlights, blower fan, rear window defogger, and air conditioner are turned off).
Ignition Timing:
M/T model:
8 °±2 ° BTDC (RED mark (B)) at idle in neutral
A/T model:
8 °±2 ° BTDC (RED mark (B)) at idle in P or N
If the ignition timing differs from the specification, check the cam timing. If the cam timing is OK,
update the ECM/PCM, if it does not have the latest software,
or
substitute a known-good ECM/PCM,
then recheck. If the system works properly, and the ECM/PCM was substituted,
replace the original ECM/PCM.
Disconnect the HDS and the timing light.
