DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR PROCEDURE
Check the iN VIN status to see if the vehicle is eligible for S/B 15-060, Safety Recall: Ignition Coils. Is the vehicle eligible for recall?
- If the safety recall has not been done, go to Vehicles Eligible for Recall.
- If the vehicle is not part of the recall, or the recall has been done, go to Vehicles Not Eligible for Recall or Recall is Complete.
Vehicles Eligible for Recall
- Record what cylinder the misfire is on. Let the vehicle cool down to room temperature.
- Swap the ignition coil and spark plug of the misfiring cylinder to one of the other cylinders in order to see if the misfire moves. (For example: If the misfire is on cylinder 1, swap ignition coil 1 and 2, then swap spark plug 1 and 3.) Refer to the ignition coil and spark plug removal and installation procedure in the service information.
- Let the vehicle idle to see if the misfire moves.
- If the misfire moved with the ignition coil, do S/B 15-060. The repair is complete.
- If the misfire moved with the spark plug, replace the affected spark plug. Refer to the ignition coil and spark plug removal and installation procedure in the service information. Then do S/B 15-060. The repair is complete.
- If the misfire did not move, go to step 5.
- If the misfire did not return, go to step 4.
- Test-drive the vehicle at low speed with low accelerator input (preferably on a slight uphill incline). Did the misfire return? (Check for pending DTCs)
- If the misfire returned, go to step 5.
- If the misfire did not return, this bulletin does not apply. Do S/B 15-060, then continue with normal misfire troubleshooting.
- Replace the fuel injectors. Refer to the injector removal and installation procedure in the service information.
- Do S/B 15-060. The repair is complete.
NOTE: In some rare cases the vehicle may return, at which point check and adjust the valves.
