Pinpoint Test D (No Start Or Coil Failure Code 232)

  1. Using spark plug tester, check for spark at all spark plug wires while cranking. If spark was consistent on all spark plug wires (one spark per crankshaft revolution), ignition system is okay. Check for other causes of driveability symptoms. If spark was not consistent on all spark plug wires, check spark plug wires for insulation damage, looseness, shorting and other damage. Remove and check spark plugs for wear, carbon deposits, improper gap and damage. If spark plugs and wires are okay, go to next step. If spark plugs and wires are not okay, repair or replace as necessary. Remove test equipment, and reconnect all components. Clear continuous memory codes, and rerun QUICK TEST. See QUICK TEST in TESTS W/CODES - NAVAJO article.
