Ignition Coil: Testing and Inspection

Ignition Coil:

1. With the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the primary wire connector and the coil wire.

2. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the terminals A - D:

Resistance value
1.2 - 1.5 ohms

3. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the terminals B - D:

Resistance value
approx. 2.2k ohms

4. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the terminal A and the secondary terminal:

Resistance value
9.04k - 13.56k ohms

5. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between the terminals A - C:

Continuity
Should Exist

6. If ignition coil fails any of the above tests replace ignition coil

NOTE: Resistance will vary with the coil temperature, specifications are at 70°F (20°C)
