Step by step

9 steps
  1. Shut off the engine and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Open the hood. On the passenger side of the engine, find the four black ignition coils, 7-8 cm tall, mounted directly on the spark plugs.
  3. Press the locking tab on each coil (it faces up or to the side) and pull the coil upward with a slight twisting motion. Do not yank it, as it may stick.
  4. Using a spark plug socket with an extension, unscrew the old plug counterclockwise. Be careful not to drop the plug into the spark plug well.
  5. Wipe dirt and moisture out of the spark plug well with a rag.
  6. Thread the new plug in by hand until it stops, then finish tightening it with the spark plug socket to 20-25 N·m (15-18 lb-ft). Do not overtighten.
  7. Push the ignition coil back into the well, making sure it is fully seated and the locking tab has latched.
  8. Repeat the procedure for the other three plugs. It is recommended to replace them one at a time so you do not mix up which coil goes with which cylinder.
  9. Start the engine and check that there are no fault codes.

Common mistakes and warnings

  • Use spark plugs exactly as specified in the catalog. A wrong heat range will cause carbon fouling or overheating of the cylinder-piston group. Do not let moisture get into the spark plug wells when cleaning.
