You can check it out by lifting out the DI and plugs. Fit the plugs in the DI and let the plugs rest on the engine block. See if you can observe any sparks, you may need an assistant here. But be careful of the voltages, the DI coils receive 400 Volts on the primary. If the DI is faulty, then it can't be repaired. It is not worth getting a secondhand replacement, get a new one. I have seen new ones around advertised at a reduced price. Johannes
